Whether Savathûn was implied to have aligned with her sister, [[Xivu Arath]], has taken measures to assume control over the Taken and Hive within the Dreaming City. Entities sworn to the Hive's God of War have appeared stealing Awoken relics of dangerous knowledge, with powerful Taken creatures supporting them. Though the Guardians put a stop to this scheme, it proves that the two scheming sisters have shared a seemingly mutual alliance to seize their brother's Taken army for themselves. | Whether Savathûn was implied to have aligned with her sister, [[Xivu Arath]], has taken measures to assume control over the Taken and Hive within the Dreaming City.

However, her daughter's efforts would be for naught. Despite having the backing of Xivu Arath's Hive and Taken at her command, [[Mara Sov]] called upon the Guardians to fight back against the Taken corruption. Battling their way to the center of [[Eleusinia]], the Throne World of the Awoken Queen, the Guardians fought with Dûl Incaru and despite her Taken powers, the Eternal Return failed in her mission, falling to the Warriors of Light. The Taken corruption in the Dreaming City receded as a result. | ||
However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City. After Dûl Incaru's death at the hands of the Guardians, the Dreaming City reverted to the state it had been in upon first being unsealed by the Guardian, progressing again through the same process of becoming corrupted by the Taken and culminating in another battle between Dûl Incaru and the Guardians. This apparent time-loop, spun by the Taken Vex mind Quria and realized by Riven's wish, both furthers Savathûn's long-term goal of amassing tribute for herself through her subordinates committing violence within spaces with looped or dilated time, and also presents the Guardians with a dilemma: they can either repeatedly strike down Dûl Incaru and relive the same series of events, or they can refuse to do so and allow Dûl Incaru to complete her mission to find the Distributary. | However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City.
