gamespot.com:

Warning: This article contains a huge amount of spoilers for Destiny 2's The Witch Queen and its raid, Vow of the Disciple. If you haven't played The Witch Queen's story campaign, the «Of Queens and Worms» quest line, or the raid itself, you might want to do so before reading further.
