Sword Logic Zine

A Destiny 2 Hive-centric Fanzine #SwordLogicZine

Welcome, O Guardian 

Within these pages, we celebrate the Hive — their gods, their lore, and the dark fascination they inspire. This fanzine is a labor of love, crafted by a community of Guardians who find beauty in the eerie glow of chitin and runes, the weight of ancient oaths, and the whispers of something deeper. 

Here, you’ll find art, stories, and musings that delve into the Hive’s rich mythology, alongside lighter takes and original content that reflect the passion and creativity of  our community. Whether you serve the Sword Logic, study the scriptures of the Deep, or simply admire the Hive from a safe distance, there’s something here for you.

First, I need to say that I really loved the zine. Beautiful work everyone, and congrats!

Is there any chance you'll run a part 2 one day? Maybe after heresy ends? I found out about this zine too late to join, and I would love to contribute next time :)

Hello!

Thank you very much for your kind words. As of now, there is no plan to host a Part 2 so close to Part 1, but perhaps same time next year, if that's something that might interest people. I'm sure we'll have plenty of inspiration from heresy and the upcoming extensions!

Back to the Reflecting Pool

This was my contribution to the @swordlogiczine ! I really wanted to depict a scene with my take on Xivu Arath’s design, but aimed for the piece to sit further in a moodier realm to explore her grief and resolve. Here, Xivu stands in contemplation over the waters of Fundament, which I envision to resemble the rocky formations that build up tide pools. I had such a blast working on this project, and am so amazed with everyone’s wonderful work. Please go check out the full Zine! 🌟

"Oryx wanted to venture out, deep in thought, and feed on the delicacies of truth. Well, he got what he wanted. Now Oryx knows death more intimately than any of us. No bringing him back." My piece for the @swordlogiczine

I had the pleasure of being an artist of @swordlogiczine.

Everyone made phenomenal art in both the visual and written realms.

I envisioned what the throne room would look like for Xivu.

The Fourth Inundation

For @swordlogiczine, with art by @synnthamonsugar Get the zine here.

And so Hashladûn, spawn of Crota, descended to the selective acid.

And Ir Yût, once beloved of Crota —

Ir Yût who now turned her back on Azavath’s attempt to rebuild the choir —

Descended with her.

By way of greeting Ir Yût sang necrosy into a slab of Hashladûn which was rotting, thus dulling the pain.

Ode to Xivu Arath

Thou still undissuaded Blade of Fundament,     Thou God of the Rotting Slain, War Dominant, who canst thus express     A rage fueled intensity more fervent than thine? What indempotent legend haunts behind thy shape     A deity? Mortal? or both?  You who laid waste         In jungles of Torobatl or Old Riis? What lies or weakness are so exposed? What aspects?     What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?         What howls and shrieks!  All life surcease!

Iconoclasm

This was my collaboration with @crispy0nion for the @swordlogiczine

Isn't the art just gorgeous? I love it so much!

Ever since Season of the Witch I've been infatuated with the idea of Eris-worshipping Hive. @crispy0nion helped make them a reality. I'm also super delighted because I've always wanted to do a collaboration with an artist where the art and the words were on the same page side by side like this. It turned out so good! Here's a link to Ao3 if you prefer to read the poem there.

And I've put the plain text of the poem below the cut if it's easier to read that way.
