After the destruction of the [[the Witness|Witness]], and with [[Oryx, the Taken King]] long dead at the hands of the [[The Guardian|Guardian]], the remaining Taken aboard the [[Dreadnaught]] were left aimless and lost.

Eventually, the Taken's calls were answered by an [[Lord of Every Nothing|unknown entity]] within the [[Ascendant Realm]], having manifested as a direct result of their repeated entreaties for leadership. The Taken pledged themselves to this new force, declaring it to be their new "will, guide, and king", and imploring it to take command of them.<ref name="SongKnife">'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Episode: Heresy - Lore:Songs of Descent, [[Lore:Songs of Descent#Song for the Knife|Song for the Knife]]''</ref>

Some time later, the [[Subjugator]] [[The Resonant Knife, First of the Reshaped|Keit'Ehr]], first of the Dread created by the Witness within the Pale Heart using the Traveler's Light, came to the Dreadnaught in search of the [[Echo of Navigation|Echo]] that had made its way to the derelict craft and hidden itself somewhere within. Upon arriving within the High War, Keit'Ehr noted that the Taken King was dead and his court empty, but it was nonetheless able to hear a "silent voice" coming from the depths of the Ascendant Realm. Intuiting that this voice belonged to the new power the Taken had called forth into being, Keit'Ehr pledged itself to its service, and called upon its fellow Dread to join it aboard the Dreadnaught.<ref name="ResSong">'''Bungie (2025/2/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Episode: Heresy - Lore:Songs of Descent, [[Lore:Songs of Descent#Resonance Song|Resonance Song]]''</ref>
