Summary
The latest season ofDestiny 2has seen Eris Morn undergo a dramatic transformation after tapping directly into the Hive’s power, and one player has taken notice of one aspect that bears an eerie similarity to Savathun as a result. Hive gods' presence casts a looming shadow, whether it’s in the physical world or their Throne World, to serve as a constant reminder of the threat they pose. Eris becoming a Hive god has seen her cast a similar shadow that is visible to players in a way similar toSavathun’s Throne World.
Season of the Witch is the current season ofDestiny 2, picking up shortly after Season of the Deep as the Vanguard is forced to seek Savathun’s aid in trying to enter The Witness' portal on The Traveler. Before she can be resurrected, though, her ghost Immaru asks the guardians to deal with Xivu Arath as the Hive god of war’s campaign into the Sol System has been getting more aggressive. Eris Morn volunteers to deal with Xivu Arath by transforming into the new Hive god of vengeance and asks players, serving as her acolytes, for tithes to gain enough strength to directly challenge Savathun’s sister.

While the extent of Eris Morn’s new powers isn’t clear, she already has enough power to make her presence known within Savathun’s Throne World in a way similar to the Witch Queen as one player noticed. Reddit user Nickles_n_Dimes pointed out how the three large stars in the Athenaeum space, which appear similar to Eris' eyes, also bear an eerie resemblance to Savathun’s shade in theAltar of Reflection. It is enough to leave Nickles_n_Dimes concerned about what the immediate future has in store for the Vanguard’s go-to Hive expert.
Other users echoed Nickles_n_Dimes' sentiment, adding that it may be worth watching the stars in the Athenaeum to see if there are any changes over the course of the season. One popular theory on the thread was that the “eyes” could take shape over the course ofSeason of the Witch, with it growing to resemble Eris as a reflection of her growing power.
Given some of the seasonal lore hints Savathun planned for this potential outcome, the similarities between Eris and theWitch Queenmay not come as a surprise to some players. However, it may be worth keeping an eye on the newly-crowned Hive god of vengeance as the season progresses, as it is still unclear what effects the transformation may have on her and what role Savathun could play in it.
Destiny 2is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
