The '''Harbinger's Seclude''' is a location in the [[Dreaming City]] that lies within a massive monastery<ref>[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/LDbDv Kyoungche Kim, ''Destiny 2 - FORSAKEN - Monastery'' (ArtStation)]</ref>, housing ceremonial sites and [[Awoken]] statues, as well as an entrance to the Confluence.

On the lower levels, accessible by a large elevator, the [[Hall of Names]] can be found. The chamber is filled with statues of revered Awoken<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Hall of Names|"Look at the statues all around you. How many queens? How many Techeuns came before you? The Dreaming City is older than your Tower, your Last City— but the carvings here almost all honor people that never once stepped foot in the Reef."]]''</ref> and is where the [[Techeun]]s and [[Paladin]]s would ceremoniously receive their titles.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Elevator|"Turn. Look down. You stand above the entrance to the Hall of Names. Techeuns and Paladins alike used to receive their titles in that Hall, witnessed by the living and the lost alike."]]''</ref> There also [[Petra Venj]] received her title of [[Queen's Wrath]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Dreaming City|The Dreaming City]], [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Honored|Honored]]''</ref>

In ''[[Season of the Hunt]]'', it was here that [[the Guardian]] and [[Crow]] [[Cryptolith Lure|lured]] the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]] for the final showdown.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Coup de Grâce]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Among other notable personas, the monastery houses statues of [[Kelda Wadj]],<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Kelda Wadj Statue|"That statue depicts Kelda Wadj. She was Illyn's mentor in the Distributary. For all her wisdom, I'm told she was one of the loudest voices to speak out against Queen Mara's decision to leave."]]''</ref> [[Osana Sov]]<ref name="Osana Sov">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Osana Sov Statue|"That is Osana Sov, the Queenmother. She did not follow her children to the Reef. Forgive me, Queen Mara, for saying this, but — I feel she was a coward."]]''</ref> and [[Queen|queens]] [[Alis Li]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Alis Li Statue|"This is a statue of Queen Devna Tel, ruler of the Distributary, last of her name. She held the throne when the Sky and the Deep came to the Awoken to collect their terms. She chose to stay, and Mara chose to go."]]''</ref> and [[Devna Tel]],<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Devna Tel Statue|"That is a statue of Alis Li, the great bargainer. They say she turned the Green into the storm. They say she cast out the lightning sails to attract both the Light and the Dark. But those are not my stories to tell. Not really…"]]''</ref> as well as a tree planted by [[Mara Sov]] for [[Sjur Eido]] after the latter's disappearance.<ref name="Sjur's Tree">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Sjur's Tree|"It's taboo to carve a statue for someone who still lives, and so sometimes, we will plant trees instead. The Queen planted this one herself after one of our best warriors went missing. Would that we were all so lucky."]]''</ref>
*The place has various connections to the [[Ahamkara]]. Skulls of [[Huginn]] and [[Muninn]] can be found in the Hall of Names and bargained with, as well as the nest of [[Eao]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Sjur's Tree|"This bowl was once a nest for Eao — he was a sly little Ahamkara, always laughing, always twining around your legs, whispering lies, saying "I have seen your eyes, o witch-mage mine." We never expected him to go bad."]]''</ref> Shuro Chi also shows the Guardian the place where the [[Awoken]] used to seal deals with the wish-dragons,<ref name="Pillar">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Meeting Pillar|"The Awoken knew the Ahamkara long before the Guardians ever noticed them. We made our alliances and cut our deals at this pillar— and for the most part, we lived alongside each other."]]''</ref> reflecting on the day Queen Mara would greet the last Ahamkara fleeing the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt|Great Hunt]] there.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]]- [[Shuro Chi]]: [[Patrol/Dialogue#Meeting Pillar|"I remember the day that the last Ahamkara arrived in the Dreaming City. Queen Mara was standing beside this pillar. She turned toward the horizon and saw the refugees fleeing extinction, and she felt… pity, I think. Perhaps empathy."]]''</ref>
*The place could have possibly been named after the Queen's [[Harbinger (Reef superweapon)|Harbingers]].
