It was created by [[Mara Sov]] after her departure from the [[Distributary]] as her personal realm. At one point, Prince [[Uldren Sov]] brought Mara a baby [[Ahamkara]] named [[Riven]]; whose assistance was proven essential in the City's construction with its wish-magic. The Dreaming City was built by Mara Sov and Techneun [[Illyn]], the Coven Mother; this artifical world was nothing but bare rocks when they started.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', Pilgrimage: Garden of Esila, View</ref> | ||
The Dreaming City is built upon a flat disk, constructed from the remains of at least one unknown rocky celestial body. Its upper surface contains a "silver sea", water from which continually spills off the edge of the disk and is reclaimed by a stabilization ring that also holds the City in place.

As the curse continued to blight the Dreaming City for three weeks, Petra was able to identify the true source of the city's Taken curse: [[Dûl Incaru]], a daughter of the Witch-Queen and the mastermind behind her mother's scheme to access the [[Distributary]] using the Awoken secrets found within the City, commanding the curse from Mara's desecrated throne-world of [[Eleusinia]]. With the curse now at its peak, the [[Techeun]]s used the [[Blind Well]] (which was kept charged with [[Light]] by the Guardians) and open a rift into Eleusinia, where the Guardians could confront the Witch and her [[Darkblade]] bodyguards. | As the curse continued to blight the Dreaming City for three weeks, Petra was able to identify the true source of the city's Taken curse: [[Dûl Incaru]], a daughter of the Witch-Queen and the mastermind behind her mother's scheme to access the [[Distributary]] using the Awoken secrets found within the City, commanding the curse from Mara's desecrated throne-world of [[Eleusinia]].

The curse then spread in the same manner it had previously, with it being revealed that the curse trapped the Dreaming City within a time loop that resets the events of Riven's death and Dûl Incaru's defeat. Through messages left by an unknown sender, it is revealed that the loop was made possible through the wish Riven granted upon her "death", and modeled upon Vex simulations overseen by the Taken Vex Mind [[Quria, Blade Transform|Quria]]. While the curse looping every three weeks, there is currently no way to permanently rid the city of the curse despite the efforts of both [[Rasputin]] and [[Osiris]]. Following every reset, the Guardian made reports to Mara Sov using the Oracle Engine, occasionally visiting her personally within her new throne world. | ||

Encased in a crystal of [[Stasis]], the Witch Queen had struck a deal with the returned Queen Mara Sov, who agreed to rid the Hive God of her [[Savathûn's Worm|Worm]] in exchange for getting Osiris back, with the intention of killing her as she came out of the crystal. | ||
In the following months, the Queen would enlist the help of Guardians to protect the [[Blind Well]] from [[Scorn]] and [[Taken]] forces under the command of [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], to establish an [[Astral Alignment]] in preparation of this ritual, as well as the recovery of her Techeun Coven from [[Shattered Realm: Forest of Echoes|the]] [[Shattered Realm: Debris of Dreams|Shattered]] [[Shattered Realm: Ruins of Wrath|Realms]] of the [[Ascendant Plane]].

Eventually, the alignment would complete, and the [[Exorcism]] would take place as [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] began its final assault.

The Witch Queen had however prepared a contingent spell that had her switch places with [[Osiris]] as her worm was removed, returning the [[Warlock]] as promised, albeit comatose. | ||
