 The Hive played a part in creating the Shifting Sands from its dead, being an omnipresent entity within the desert and using their buzzing to draw living creatures into their domain and be compelled to go to the Hive.Such a case happened to a Mere woman named Rigane, who spent her life living on the outskirts of the desert and studying the fauna of the desert.From there, the Hive would demand an item to be of tribute, dragging it underground to be added to their nest, composed of bones, gold, gems and other nonperishing oddments.
