The recent Book of Sorrows, which you compile together by collecting Calcified Fragments in The Taken King details the tragic rise of Oryx. Ever wondered why we have to go into those strange dimensions to kill Crota and then Oryx after killing them in the real world? The Book of Sorrows holds the answer.
