At the behest of his patron [[Eir]], Oryx returned to his Throne world and quickly turned the Vex against each other by converting some of them into Taken.

At the behest of his patron [[Eir]], Oryx returned to his Throne world and quickly turned the Vex against each other by converting some of them into Taken. Quria was unable to adapt to the new threat, and was repelled from the Throne World along with its forces.


Meanwhile Oryx reflected on the Vex and thought he found a worthy rival. His conversation with Savathûn revealed the nature of the Vex who sought to understand everything so they are primed as the last victors of the universe in its end stages. Quria's invasion highlighted a fundamental weakness within Oryx's throne world and inspired its reinterpretation by constructing the [[Dreadnaught]].<ref name="Quria 2">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XL:_An_Emperor_For_All_Outcomes|XL: An Emperor For All Outcomes]]''</ref>

Following the [[Red War]], [[Hidden]] agents reported unusual activity on the moon of [[Io]] where they observed the Taken behaving strangely with the Vex. [[The Guardian]] was enlisted by [[Ikora Rey]] to investigate and found the Vex imprisoned within Taken containment rifts.<ref>'''YouTube (2017/9/9):''' ''[https://youtu.be/NzkvjJ4vpMU Destiny 2 Dynasty Quest – Timestamp 00:45s]''</ref> This raised alarms and [[Asher Mir]] noted that the absence of their King, Oryx, meant the Taken shouldn't have the capacity to capture even the most dim-witted of [[Goblin]]s. The Guardian then tracked a Vex distress signal broadcasted from the [[Spine Burrows]] and confronted a [[Taken Knight]] bearing the name of Quria called [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria|Ir Arok]]. As they attempted to challenge the Tongue of Quria, it disappeared as [[Elatiox, Beloved of Quria]] appeared to battle them, but was quickly defeated.<ref>'''YouTube (2017/9/9):''' ''[https://youtu.be/NzkvjJ4vpMU Destiny 2 Dynasty Quest – Timestamp 04:00s]''</ref>

Ikora feared the Taken may have found new leadership and asked the Guardian to investigate a [[Cabal]] [[Excavation Site II|base]] that reportedly had a lot of Taken activity. They found more Vex were being abducted through dimensional rifts and trapped within containment fields and forcefully transformed into Taken by drowning them in the [[Blight]]s energies.<ref>'''YouTube (2017/9/9):''' ''[https://youtu.be/NzkvjJ4vpMU Destiny 2 Dynasty Quest – Timestamp 11:20s]''</ref> As they ventured into the main Taken conversion site, Ir Arok was spotted again, but left the scene. Nearby an imprisoned [[Hydra]] transformed into [[Erosus, Spawn of Quria]] after being corrupted by the Blights energies. Following its defeat, Ikora suspected that the Taken were now building an army. The Taken were later spotted near the Pyramidion and the Guardian finally cornered Quria's commander, Ir Arok, near the wrap gate of the Vex Collective. While the Tongue of Quria met its demise, some Taken however got through the Vex warp gate.<ref>'''YouTube (2017/10/1):''' ''[https://youtu.be/oEUq-l081-c Destiny 2 Long Play Transcript – Timestamp 01:15s]''</ref>
