''“Whispered lore and fragmentary theories suggest that Crota represents a distinct class of Hive entities, not resident in our material world. My latest synthesis of this scattered esoterica suggests that Crota's 'home' is a universe created or remade by his power and occupied by Hive organisms of immense age.”''<br />

An '''Ascendant Realm''', also known as a '''throne world''', is an alternate dimension ruled by the Gods of the [[Hive]]. Each of the Gods of the Hive--[[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], [[Savathûn]], [[Xivu Arath]], and [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]--rules their own Ascendant Realm, where they have absolute power over it through the Sword-Logic. If one of the Hive Gods is slain in the material world, their soul will pass to their Ascendant Realm, where they will regain their strength until they can re-enter the material world. The lesser Hive may enter the Ascendant Realm, but only if they are [[Ascendant Hive]], those Hive warriors who command legions of lesser warriors and can pay a tithe of death and destruction to the Hive God who rules the Ascendant Realm.
