Biography
Aurash was the daughter of the Osmium King and a member of a species that resided on the gas giant Fundament where her people lived a harsh existence amidst floating continents that were shards of their shattered homeworld. In that time, she was the daughter of her continents ruler alongside her sisters Xi Ro and Sathona where they lived at the Osmium Court.
Deep within the ocean, they encountered the Worm Gods who were servants of a greater power known as the Destiny. These entities had lived and grown in the depths of Fundament for millions of years after being trapped there by the Leviathan who was a servant of the Traveler. In that time, they had called many races to Fundament to free them but none had succeeded until Aurash and her sisters. The Worm Gods offered the sisters their larvae stating that it would grant them incredible power that they could use to seek their revenge. In exchange, they had to obey their respective natures forever or be consumed by the larvae. The sisters agreed with Aurash obeying her nature of never stopping her exploration. After ingesting the worms, Aurash transformed into the king morph of her kind and became the male Auryx. Auyx and his sisters then sought to claim back the home of their father thus beginning their war against Taox. It was during this time that the Worms discovered that the cause of the giant wave that the Osmium King was a new 'moon' in the sky that was the Traveler.
After dying, Auryx came to discover the sword space where he established his throne world. For the next 20,000 years, Auryx and his sisters battled one another where they killed each other in order to practice dying. This had he effect of making them better fighters as they came to expose each others weaknesses. However, as they grew stronger, the worms grew even hungrier with the three siblings fearing that they would be consumed by the larvae. To find a solution, he killed his sisters in order to gain the necessary knowledge to stave off true death. From their deaths, he learnt that the secret lay with Akka, the Worm of Secrets and used this knowledge to steal it from the Worm God thus communicating with the Deep. With this power, he created the Tablets of Ruin where he gained the ability to take life whereupon he became Oryx, the Taken King.
