The worm who is god

She wouldn't do this without a cunning reason, and I have an idea as to where this is all headed. When our Guardian met the crystalized Witch Queen in the first week, she claimed in a cutscene that she is not a villain and the Guardian is not a hero.

Paracausal, in the Destiny world, means that something is not part of causality; it is free of cause and effect. The last few seconds of the cutscene showed a cloud that looked similar to the worm god Xol wrap around the Traveler.

This imagery could simply refer to the Light and Dark being entwined paracausal forces, but it made me question the worm gods. The worm gods are servants of the Darkness, after all. These worm gods are the bad guys; they're the Hive's Dark deities that gave Savathun and her siblings their worm larvae, allowing the three siblings to become powerful and immortal.

There could be more within our solar system and could potentially be bosses again because of Savathun. According to Mara, the Taken no longer serve Savathun; they have a new master. Mara further explains that their new master is far older than Oryx.

This could mean that another worm god has stepped in to fill that role or perhaps an even stronger power above them. Whatever this Dark power is, it commands Xivu Arath to attack the Shattered Realm and Astral Alignment in the Dreaming City to prevent us from finding the Techeuns, which is our main story goal for the Season of the Lost.

As told in the False Idols weblore , Nokris and Savathun were working together to bring an end to their servitude to the worm gods, and by extension, the Darkness.

Nokris was frowned upon by the followers of the Sword Logic because his necromancy went against their belief, but Savathun found a use for his abilities. Nokris explains to her, "The Sword bears no truth. The Worms are gods of thin ambition and reign vast nothing. Savathun later told Nokris, "The Deep fears me. If the Darkness is actually pushing Xivu Arath to come after Savathun, it would also push its servants, the worm gods, to do the same.

It would be plausible for us to fight a worm god attempting to disrupt the ritual to stifle the removal of her worm. However, only three worm gods remain: Eir, Yul, and Ur. Xol was the weakest--you'll remember fighting it during the Will of the Thousands strike--and after seeing the intensity and build-up of the mighty Quria battle , it seems possible that we may battle another worm god at the end of the season.

From the worm gods. From you. If we believe what Mara Sov is saying, then it sure seems like the worm gods could be our next target if they try to come in between Mara and the Vanguard's plan of removing Savathun's worm. The lore suggests that this is not so straightforward and it may get more complicated. I think we'll fight a worm god nonetheless, but Savathun is deceitful.

I found some bits of lore that reveal how, of the remaining worm gods, only one seems to have a cryptic, friendly relationship with Savathun.

That worm god is called Ur, the Ever-Hunger. Savathun could be using Ur to get what she wants, just like how she used Nokris and Osiris. Or rather, Oryx became more and more powerful while the Worms Gods became weaker, as the act of giving diminished them.

The Worms are disciples of the Darkness and draw their power directly from it. In that case you can ask the court to relieve you of your role. Or occasionally a friend or relative of the person may be appointed as the guardian. A guardianship order will last for six months to begin with. After this it may be renewed for another six months and then for a year at a time.

SSI can also be the ticket into vocational training and group housing services. Once a child reaches age 18, she qualifies for SSI based on her own income and assets. How long does a guardianship of the person last? A guardianship of the person lasts until the child turns 18 years old.

It will end before the child turns 18 years old if the child marries, is adopted, dies, enters the military, or if the guardianship is terminated by a court order.

Though they were granted a fine upbringing, little attention was bestowed upon them by their aunt, who was possessed by Abomination and enthralled by her own power and the mysticism developed around the Atreides name by Paul.

When they were nine years old, Leto and Ghanima gained the attention of their paternal grandmother, Lady Jessica , who returned to Arrakis from Caladan to inspect them as part of her obligations to the Bene Gesserit. While visiting, Jessica sensed the latent power present in the twins, and upon the realization that they could be a threat to the psychologically unstable Alia, pressed her Fremen allies to help protect them. At this same time, Leto's prescient powers began to emerge.

Through visions and intuition, he discovered the Golden Path that his father had earlier uncovered and begun to follow. However, unlike Paul, Leto developed a greater understanding of the Golden Path's implications. He sensed not only its dangers but also the painful steps that had to be taken to avoid it unraveling, which would be to the peril of humankind. Leto and Ghanima escaped an assassination attempt by House Corrino.

The two split up, with Ghanima conditioned to believe her brother was dead so that if she were to be interrogated on his whereabouts, she would not be able to tell the truth. Leto slipped into almost total anonymity, using the time and relative seclusion to build a foundation of power and knowledge through which the full impact of the Golden Path could be realized. To enact such steps required a strong almost brutal grip on power and longevity that would override the shortsightedness and impatience of Man.

Thus, after spending time amongst a variety of fringe Fremen elements, including The Preacher , Leto accepted sand trout upon his body and began the conversion into a human-sandworm hybrid. This transformation which, in the beginning, was essentially a form of exoskeleton , boosted Leto's strength, reflexes, and speed immensely, and he was able to move across large distances on foot.

After his transformation had progressed to a sufficient stage, Leto emerged from the desert and returned to the city of Arrakeen to confront the possessed Alia and claim the throne of the empire.

After Alia managed to briefly overcome her possession and take her own life, Leto claimed the title of Emperor and promptly married his sister to consolidate his hegemony. The marriage was purely legal. Ghanima accepted Farad'n Corrino as her mate, but their descendants would be known as Atreides.

Toward the end of his reign, Leto sensed the need for the next step on the Golden Path and knew that his rule must end for further progress to occur.
