| | '''Ylaia''' was one of thirteen [[Awoken]] who was selected to undergo training to become a [[Techeun]] in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Saturn]] in an effort to restore the depleted numbers of the order and aid Queen [[Mara Sov]]'s return journey to the [[Dreaming City]]. Later, she was involved in an Awoken fireteam as they track the movements of Xivu Arath's forces and send the reports to [[The Coalition]] leaders while the Guardian works to rebuild Rasputin. |

| Sometime after their training began, Ylaia and her twelve fellow Techeun coven sisters were brought to the Dreaming City to practice their abilities within a building that was a nexus of several [[Ley Line]]s. During one session, [[Austyn]] watched as Ylaia struggled to interact with the Ley Lines, being the only one amongst the thirteen unable to do so. She warned Ylaia that the lines would shift soon, but her fellow student's concentration was broken by a nearby explosion that shook the building. As Ylaia threw her focusing crystal across the room and expressed her frustration with training in a war zone, Austyn began noting that if she could not connect with the Ley Lines at a powerful crossroads she might not be able to at all, but her coven sister cut her off in anger and vowed to try again. The [[Petra Venj]] then arrived and began advising them on her own struggles she had faced during her own brief time training as a Techeun.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - Item Description: [[Pathfinder's Suit#Pathfinder's Grips / Gauntlets / Wraps|Pathfinder's Grips / Gauntlets / Wraps]]''</ref>

| Ylaia and Petra met in a courtyard in the Dreaming City. Petra told Ylaia how she and her sister, [[Pinar Venj|Pinar]], were trained to be Techeuns by [[Imar]]. However, while Pinar excelled in her training, Petra was left behind, eventually leaving the training program and joining the [[Corsair]]s. Petra told Ylaia to give the training a chance, and if she failed, there would still be other work she could do.<ref name="Canis Major"/>

| Despite her inexperience, Petra Venj promoted her to the rank of Adept, and asked [[Kalli]] to perform the necessary augmentations.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - Item Description: [[Pathfinder Suit#Pathfinder's Tunic / Chestplate / Robe|Pathfinder's Tunic / Chestplate / Robe]]''</ref>

| Ylaia and twelve other new Techeuns met with Petra and [[Sedia]] in the [[Blind Well]] to begin their search for Mara. Wielding the [[Wayfinder's Compass]], the Techeuns traveled a Ley Line to the distant edge of [[Sol System|Sol]], where they met with Mara. However, due to Austyn accidentally witnessing the [[Black Terrace]] before their search for Mara, [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] was able to track the group, forcing Mara Sov to shatter the Ley Line behind them. The group attempted to flee to the Dreaming City, but Xivu Arath gave chase, and in a final effort to rescue Mara, Austyn gave her the Wayfinder's Compass and the Techeuns fled into the [[Ascendant Realm]] to draw Xivu Arath's attention away.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - Item Description: [[Pathfinder Suit#Pathfinder's Hood / Mark / Bond|Pathfinder's Hood / Mark / Bond]]''</ref>

| While searching for a way to the Dreaming City, Ylaia witnessed [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] encased in crystal. The [[Hive]] spotted Ylaia, and she escaped the Ley Line, dangling from runes as the Hive fell into the abyss. She climbed back into the Ley Line, cleared her mind, and continued to wait.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - Item Description: [[Radiant Dance Machines#Lore|Radiant Dance Machines]]''</ref>

| Ylaia was one of several Techeuns who were rescued by the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] from the Ascendant Plane. The reassembled coven was tasked by Mara with preparing a ritual that would separate the Savathûn from her [[Worm]] in exchange for the return of [[Osiris]]. Ylaia began restorative meditation, but on one such occasion, she was interrupted by [[Glint]] seeking knowledge in the [[Headless One]]s. Ylaia had some knowledge to share, but first requested clarification on what a pumpkin was.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1|Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1]], [[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1#Luna - 3|Luna - 3]]''</ref>

| Glint explained the process of pumpkin carving, and how during the [[Golden Age]], pumpkins were used to communicate with the dead.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1|Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1]], [[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1#Luna - 6|Luna - 6]]''</ref>

| Ylaia explained how both [[human]]ity and Hive had attempted to subvert the laws of life and death. She noted that [[Nokris, Herald of Xol|Nokris]] had experimented with necromancy using the living and dead, including the [[K1]] miners, and likely used pumpkins to support the rituals.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1|Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1]], [[Lore:Tales of the Forgotten — Vol. 1#Luna - 9|Luna - 9]]''</ref>

| After weeks of preparation, Ylaia joined [[Sjari]] and Austyn in conducting the ritual alongside Mara whilst the Guardian and [[Saint-14]] defended them from Xivu Arath's invading army. The ritual was successful, but Mara planned on executing Savathûn while she was weak from the removal of her worm. Ylaia helped Sjari and Austyn break the crystal that held Savathûn so their Queen could kill their foe, but the Witch Queen was prepared for the betrayal and used a contingency spell to swap places with Osiris the moment she was freed.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Exorcism]]''</ref>

| A year later, Ylaia travelled with a group of Corsairs in the Ascendant Realm to analyze the Hive's presence on Sol's Ascendant borders. Ylaia discovered Hive patrols setting up a perimeter parallel to the [[Tangled Shore]]. Parallel to [[Phobos]], they were ambushed by a [[Shrieker]], and two Corsairs were injured. Ylaia sent the injured back to the Dreaming City, while the remainder of the group became parallel with [[Moon|Luna]], and discovered a massive army of Hive rallying under the Black Terrace.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - Item Description: [[Tripwire Canary#Lore|Tripwire Canary]]''</ref>
