The Worm Gods, a higher group in the Hive pantheon, also dwell in a deeper part of the Ascendant realm, much closer to The Deep. Entities closely linked to the Darkness, most notably powerful Hive such as Oryx, Savathun, Xivu Arath, and Crota, create 'cyst universes' within the Ascendant Realm known as throne worlds, where they have absolute power over it through the Sword-Logic. The Ascendant realm (also known as the Ascendant Plane, Netherworld, Overworld, Sea of Screams, or the Howling ) is an extradimensional plane of existence related to the Darkness.
