Mara Sov would begin sending out guardians on special tasks, mainly stabilizing the Ley Lines and rescuing lost Techeuns from the Ascendant Realm. Eventually, she would inform The Guardian of [[Ager's Scepter|an awoken relic ]] and suggest that they find Atlas Skews to locate it. The Guardian would then claim the relic after depositing all skews and use it to slay [[Kelgorath, Risen from Bones]] and destroy many barriers in the Shattered Realm, granting them deeper access and allowing them to free more Techeuns. However, she soon realized that [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] desired to speak with Savathûn, leading her to issue an order forbidding him to go. She explains to the Guardian that she issued the order to protect him, as she believed he would be more susceptible to her lies than others. Unfortunately, Crow would force his way to Savathûn's prison to demand the answers he seeks and was given his previous life's memories to the point of his execution, sending Crow reeling. Horrified by what the Witch Queen had forcibly shown him and realizing that Mara Sov is trying to regain psychological control over him, he leaves the Reef, desperately requesting Ikora Rey a new assignment, which the Warlock Vanguard would comply with him becoming a go-between Caiatl's Cabal and the Vanguard.

Learning what Savathûn had done, Mara confronted her captive but the Witch Queen was unrepentant, even claiming that the two queens were a lot alike, enraging Mara enough to silence Savathûn within her prison and prohibit any more visits.

When the time came for Savathûn's exorcism, Mara Sov gathered her Techeuns and prepared the ceremony. They soon became under attack from Xivu Arath's hive but the Guardian forces stopped them. The exorcism took place and the worm was removed, but when the crystal shattered, Savathûn escaped but returned Osiris as the Hive god had promised. The Queen took possession of Savathûn's worm and admitted she had been outmaneuvered but claimed that the Witch Queen's worm would prove useful in discerning the Savathûn's next move.

Sometime after the Exorcism and the Witch Queen's subsequent return, not to mention her "conversion" into the Light, Mara Sov took possession of [[Savathûn's Worm]] and traveled with it to learn what she can about the entity controlling the Black Fleet, [[The Witness]]. However, without a host, the worm began to die, leading Mara Sov to find a means to keep the creature alive so it can tell about the Witch Queen's role in Humanity's Collapse, which ultimately led her to Mars and requests Ikora Rey for the Guardian's assistance.

Meeting at the Relic within the Enclave on Mars, Mara Sov informs the Guardian that with the worm so close to death, they have precious little time to begin, instructing them to locate a Dark City, [[Harvest]], hidden beneath the caverns of [[Savathûn's Throne World]], where the Witch Queen worked alongside a [[Rhulk|Disciple of the Witness]] in creating incubators that created worms for her brood. The Guardian managed to locate and traverse the Dark City but encountered heavy Scorn forces that sought to turn the city into their enclave. Locating an incubator they were looking for, the device breathes life into the Worm, allowing it speak but only for a moment, leading Mara to believe they require more incubators to give the worm what it needs to tell them what they want to know, which Savathûn's Worm begrudgingly agrees to ensure it's own survival.
