Hey all,
as some of you may know, the [url=https://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Signature-Strategy-Guide-BradyGames/dp/0744015626]Destiny Signature Series Strategy Guide[/url] from BradyGames revealed two Hive Sects that are unknown to most and not found in the Grimoire Cards: the [b]Venom of Oryx[/b] and the [b]Scarlet Brood[/b].
Here's the page with the info: [url=https://books.google.de/books?id=kbKaBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=destiny+scarlet+brood&source=bl&ots=6urP08wCqs&sig=ezVeC5q-q6jpNrgOBbwkTTeRs7Q&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjz5LW5s-7OAhWMPRQKHSwdAI4Q6AEIUjAG#v=onepage&q&f=false]Link[/url].
Through helpful comments on the forum, I've recently discovered that the Venom of Oryx does exist within the Destiny Game.
The Venom of Oryx is encountered in the mission "The First Firewall". Their signature color seems to be Gray and I am assuming that the Venom of Oryx is used as a fast attack force against vital infrastructures. The links provide proof.

So I've been thinking... the Venom of Oryx does exist. [i]Where's the Scarlet Brood[/i]?
Of course one can argue that they simply did not appear yet. But why haven't they appeared, but another, completely unknown Hive Sect, the Silent Brood, did?
[spoiler]For those who don't know, the Silent Brood can be encountered on the Dreadnaught, in the areas "The Founts" and "The Asylum", during Patrol or the Sunless Cell Strike. Their Signature Color is a Light Blue.[/spoiler]
And I couldn't help myself but notice the striking similarity between Scarlet Brood and Silent Brood. Scarlet... Silent...
[b]So what if Bungie changed the name of the Scarlet Brood to Silent Brood?[/b]
As we all know, everything in development is subject to change until finally implemented in the live game.
And it would make sense in my opinion... Why, you may ask?
Well, I believe the Scarlet Brood would have been too confusing. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_(color)]Scarlet[/url] is a brilliant Red color with a tinge of Orange. The Hidden Swarm Sect of the Hive already have Red color. Another brilliant Red one would've been too similar and may not be distinguishable from the Hidden Swarm's Red, considering the game's darker areas and filters.
So why not simply change it to Silent Brood (sounds similar) and change their color to Light Blue?
Does it make sense? Could it be possible? Do you have other thoughts?
Please discuss.

Scarlet Brood is the personal guard of the Taken Queen, who hasn't shown up yet. Either she will be mentioned in RoI, or unfortunately used in D2. (I say unfortunately because if in 2, it'll likely be a repeat of the same scenarios Oryx created, and honestly, that'd be weak writing... unless its one of the very first things we do in D2.)

Mega Absol seems so out of place here.
-
...huh? Damn, dude. I hardly knew there even was different hive like that. They should further explain that in the story..

Hopefully the Scarlet Brood has something to do with Nokris. I bet he was Oryx's court jester
-
I still want to know what the silent brood is assigned to do.
-
My name is don, don ray williams to be exact!

I do hope that the Scarlet Brood is a new sect
-
It could be the one about urrox
-
You have to be pretty -blam!-ing stupid to need a strategy guide for destiny. It's not like it requires much thought
-
Poor forgotten Urrox.

Изменено (Archival Mind): 9/2/2016 12:18:11 AMThe Silent Brood has always been in the game, some early Hive in the 2013 trailers were light blue. But why was it not mentioned? Also, just in case the Silent Brood and Scarlet Broods are different... Savathun or Xivu Arath confirmed
-
Definitely an interesting notion. It could be possible that the Scarlet brood was scrapped as the name, but it would be rather odd for the name to be floating around with no context to it. Hopefully it's cleared up in the future, but for now speculation is all we've got. If I were to take a guess at it, I'd say the Scarlet Brood could be a sub-sect or related sect to the Blood of Oryx, possibly getting the Hive God's more long term goals. And not so much their servants, but more like freelance agents, not assigned to a particular God, but conducting their will none the less

Nice work
