===Taking Back the Dreaming City===
===Taking Back the Dreaming City===
After the [[Expunge: Delphi|destruction]] of [[Quria, Blade Transform]] and the [[Override: Last City|Vex invasion]] of the Last City, the [[Vanguard]] [[Cocoon|tracked]] the lightless [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]] to the Dreaming City, where he was revealed to have been impersonated by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] since he lost his [[Light]]. 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.  
After the [[Expunge: Delphi|destruction]] of [[Quria, Blade Transform]] and the [[Override: Last City|Vex invasion]] of the Last City, the [[Vanguard]] [[Cocoon|tracked]] the lightless [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]] to the Dreaming City, where he was revealed to have been impersonated by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] since he lost his [[Light]]. Encased in a crystal formed by Mara Sov, the Witch Queen had struck a deal with the returned Awoken Queen, 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]]. For this, [[Mara Sov's Chambers]] were connected to the [[H.E.L.M.]] via portal, allowing the [[Vanguard]] to easily coordinate with the Awoken.

Eventually, the alignment would complete, and the [[Exorcism]] would take place as [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] began its final assault. The Guardians protected the Awoken Queen from this onslaught, and she completed the exorcism, hoping to have a clear shot at a weakened Savathûn after its end. However, The Witch Queen had prepared a contingent spell that had her switch places with [[Osiris]] as her worm was removed, returning the [[Warlock]] as promised, albeit comatose.

==Gameplay==
===Finding Riven's Whim===
The Dreaming City [[Destination]] area consists of three main public zones, each with a [[Lost Sector]], five private zones explorable in [[Patrol]], and a few more accessible in [[Mission]]s, including parts of the [[Ascendant Realm]]. The only landing zone is in the [[Divalian Mists]]. The main enemy factions are the [[Taken]], [[Hive]] and [[Scorn]]. The Scorn are hostile to the Hive and Taken in this destination.
After the Guardian recovers one of Riven's eggs from the [[The Imbaru Engine|Imbaru Engine]] inside [[Court of Savathûn|Savathûn's Throne World]] and discovers a solution to bypass the portal into the Pale Heart created by [[The Witness|the Witness]], they return to the Keep of Voices. The Witness sends in the [[Sol Divisive]], a [[Vex]] collective loyal to it, to invade the Dreaming City and hamper their attempt to bypass the portal. They visit Riven's corpse and recover a tooth to allow the Techeuns to conjure her spirit along with the heart they extracted after her physical form was destroyed. Riven's spirit rises but refuses grant the 15th wish unless the remaining eggs are recovered from [[Riven's Lair|her lair]]. Despite the threat of having the Ahamkara terrorize the system again, Queen Mara agrees to Riven's bargian.


The Dreaming City is stuck in a three week loop in time since the events of the [[Taken Curse Campaign]]. Depending the week, different [[Public Event]]s can take place in the zone, and combatant patrols are different. [[Petra Venj]], the Destination [[Vendors|Vendor]], also changes location to one of the public zones, offering a different [[Story]] Mission Bounty.
Once the Guardian finds that the first egg is missing from its physical location, Petra proposes that eggs can be found inside the Ley Lines using the similar method to how they rescued the Techeuns from Xivu Arath's forces. They would recover more eggs as Osiris updates them on how [[The Veil|the Veil]] can be used to replicate the Witness's link to it using their Ghost. They begin to use Mara's [[Harbinger (Reef superweapon)|Harbinger]] to track the remaining eggs more efficiently once they obtain the Starlight Lodestone to guide it. As they recover more eggs, the Sol Divisive responds by deploying [[Oracle]]s throughout the Dreaming City and creating an Axis Mind capable of simulating the Techeuns. As the Guardian arrives too late to recover egg, they learn that egg has been transported into the [[Black Garden]]. They recover the egg from the Black Garden along with a Bow crafted by [[Taranis]], the Ahamkara that produced the clutch with Riven.  


The [[Blind Well]] Permanent Public Event takes place in this destination.
The Guardians cleanse a corrupted egg, then reactivate the Oracle Engine to recover the final egg. Once all of the eggs are recovered, Crow shares his plans with the Guardian, Mara, and Osiris: he volunteers to be the first Guardian to enter the Pale Heart via the Ley Lines since the 15th wish only allows one individual to enter it. The Guardian returns to the [[Wall of Wishes]] and enters the 15th and final wish. The final wish causes Riven to meet the same fate as Taranis before her, but allows Crow to enter the Ley Lines so Osiris can replicate the link with the Veil and allow [[The Coalition|the Coalition]] to enter the Pale Heart and finally confront the Witness before it can enact the [[Final Shape]].


When [[World Event|Enemies move against each other]], they become [[Elite]]s and [[Major]]s after very few waves.
