The [[Drifter]], a rogue Light-bearer, managed to jury-rig his [[Ghost]] with parts salvaged from the Ghosts of his former crew, allowing it access to paracausal spectrums beyond that of the Light, including the Darkness-aligned powers of the Taken. With it, the Drifter is able to create [[Mote of Dark|Motes of Darkness]] and employed them as part of a game called "[[Gambit]]", pitting [[Guardians]] against their enemies and each other in a bid to harvest these Motes for himself. He is eventually gifted a subspace of the [[Ascendant Plane]] from the [[Nine]] which he dubbed [[The Haul]], where he caged the leftover Taken from Oryx's army whilst building his own. Among these Taken summoned during these Gambit matches are exceptionally powerful and ancient Taken known as [[Primeval (Taken)|Primevals]], which he can summon using Motes of Darkness. | The [[Drifter]], a rogue Light-bearer, managed to jury-rig his [[Ghost]] with parts salvaged from the Ghosts of his former crew, allowing it access to paracausal spectrums beyond that of the Light, including the Darkness-aligned powers of the Taken.

In the years following the Taken War, the Dreaming City was infested by leftover Taken and their [[Taken Blight|blights]] undisturbed until Oryx's [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen|sister]] reached out towards the Taken Riven and gave her a new purpose. Now able to exert her influence from beyond her prison, Riven manipulated [[Uldren Sov]] into unleashing an [[Voice of Riven|agent]] of hers from the City, which the Guardian quickly killed. [[Petra Venj]], investigating the source of Uldren's corruption and the Taken curse within the City, surmised Riven as the cause after having made contact with Queen [[Mara Sov]] at the [[Oracle Engine]]. At the Queen's behest, Petra enlisted the support from the [[Vanguard]] to have Riven killed and her heart cleansed of her Taken essence. | |||
A Guardian Raid team was quickly formed and breached their way into the corrupted [[Keep of Voices]], where they freed the [[Techeun]]s [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from their Taken corruption. While the Taken Riven baited the Guardians into killing her, they inadvertently made a single collective wish, allowing Riven to alter the rules of ascendancy within the Dreaming City according to [[Toland]]. In ending the Ahamkara, Riven's wish cursed the realm; Taken energies having saturated and engulfed huge portions of the city. | A Guardian Raid team was quickly formed and breached their way into the corrupted [[Keep of Voices]], where they freed the [[Techeun]]s [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from their Taken corruption.

As the curse continued to blight the Dreaming City for three weeks, Petra was able to identify the true source of the city's Taken curse: [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|Dûl Incaru]], a daughter of the Witch-Queen and the mastermind behind her mother's scheme to access the [[Distributary]] using the Awoken secrets found within the City, commanding the curse from Mara's desecrated throne-world of [[Eleusinia]]. Upon the third week of the curse, the Guardians charged the dimensional rift generator of the [[Blind Well]] and opened a rift into Eleusinia, where they could confront the Witch and her [[Darkblade|Fatesmith]] bodyguards. | As the curse continued to blight the Dreaming City for three weeks, Petra was able to identify the true source of the city's Taken curse: [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|Dûl Incaru]], a daughter of the Witch-Queen and the mastermind behind her mother's scheme to access the [[Distributary]] using the Awoken secrets found within the City, commanding the curse from Mara's desecrated throne-world of [[Eleusinia]].
