===The Dreaming Raid=== | |||
After relaying the news of the threat Riven posed and of Mara being alive, the Guardians gained the Vanguards approval in allowing a Raid team to storm the Awoken Watchtower, enter the Dreaming City and slay Riven before the Ahamkara does indescribable damage. With Petra's blessing, the Guardians enter the tower once more and gain admittance into the Dreaming City. The Guardians soon encounter the [[Techeuns]] [[Sedia]], [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]], corrupted into Taken and were now under the command of Riven. Despite facing legions of Taken, the Guardians defeat each Techeun and even manage to free them from their Taken corruption. Grateful, the Techeuns encourage the Guardians to continue with their mission and slay Riven for her treachery. More importantly, they instructed them to acquire the Ahamkara's heart and bring it to them, so the Techeuns can cleanse it of its Taken energies. | |||
Traversing further in the Dreaming City, the Guardians proceed towards The Vault, where Riven is housed, but confront the Taken Ogre, [[Morgeth, the Spirekeeper]]. Despite the Ogre's might, the Guardians succeed in killing Morgeth and gain entry into The Vault yet during the entire ordeal, Riven constantly whispers into the Guardians' ears, taunting them. Ignoring the Ahamkara, the Guardians proceed deeper into Riven's lair, the [[Keep of Voices]]. After completing the puzzle mechanisms to enter the keep, the Guardians finally confront Riven in person. Taking the form of a gargantuan dragon-like form, Riven battles with the Guardians throughout the Ascendant Plane that melded with the Dreaming City. Despite her vast Taken powers, the Guardians slayed her physical form. As instructed by the Techeuns, the Guardians delved into the Ahamkara's form and pried Riven's heart. Fighting against the Heart's corrupted energies and the Taken that sought to stop them, the Guardians raced towards the Techeuns to complete their mission. However, just before Riven's Heart is cleansed, the Ahamkara performs one last wish: to plague the Dreaming City with a Taken Curse. Ultimately, and to the Guardian's horror, Riven completed her task, granting her master a great advantage. | |||
Though the Guardians slayed a great threat to the system, Riven's plot ultimately puts them in a never-ending conflict with Savathûn's forces, as they use the twisted Dreaming City as a staging ground in their intention to breach into the [[Distributory]], allowing the Witch-Queen to reach new heights of power. Even so, the Guardians maintain their vigilance against the Hive and Taken to prevent that from happening. | |||
