The war took a dark turn when terrifying clan of Fallen pirates and criminals known as the Scorn besieged the [[Prison of Elders]] and broke out, forcing [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] and [[Cayde-6]] to quickly respond to the attack. However, things quickly took a turn for the worst when Cayde and the Guardian confronted the Fallen Barons and Archon behind the breakout, with [[Uldren Sov]] revealing himself as the Scorn's leader to the duo. Cayde-6 was subsequently murdered by Uldren with his own gun, the [[Ace of Spades]], where Uldren incapacitated the Guardian and quickly fled from the scene alongside the Barons. The Scorn now reside within the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]], and are attempting to accomplish an unknown objective. The Guardians, driven by vengeance over their murdered comrade, swear to hunt down Uldren and the Scorn Barons.
The war took a dark turn when a terrifying clan of Fallen pirates and criminals known as the Scorn besieged the [[Prison of Elders]] and broke out it leading Barons, forcing [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] and [[Cayde-6]] to quickly respond to the attack. Teaming up with Petra Venj, the trio contain most of the prison. However, things quickly took a turn for the worst when Cayde is confronted by the Fallen Barons and Archon behind the breakout, with [[Uldren Sov]] revealing himself as the Scorn's leader. Cayde-6, despite putting up an admirably fight, was subsequently murdered by Uldren with his own gun, the [[Ace of Spades]]. The Guardian and Petra arrive just before Cayde passes and Uldren quickly flees from the scene alongside the Barons. The Scorn now reside within the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]], and are attempting to accomplish an unknown objective. The Guardians, driven by vengeance over their murdered comrade, swear to hunt down Uldren and the Scorn Barons. Meanwhile, in the Reef, the Awoken are left completely scattered as a result of Uldren's betrayal, leaving the region of space a lawless warzone with the Scorn running amok, spreading chaos.
 
However, while the Vanguard mourns the loss of a comrade, Commander Zavala refuses to launch an all-out assault on the Reef to take down Uldren and his Barons, rationalizing that the Last City does not have the strength to conduct such an attack and the Last City itself, their people and the awakened Traveler must remain their first priority. Despite Ikora Rey's strong objections, Zavala declares the Reef off-limits. Regardless, the Guardian conducts the hunt for Uldren on their own, without the support of the Vanguard. With only a small lead from Ikora, the Guardian heads to the Tangled Shore to find any clues to Uldren's whereabouts. While fighting Scorn Fallen, Petra Venj arrives to aid them in avenging Cayde and all the other innocent lives Uldren has taken.


The [[House of Dusk]] immediately began to war with the [[Scorn]], beginning a major civil war in the [[Reef]].

After the Scorn's prison breakout, a mysterious [[Fallen]] mob was discovered in the [[Tangled Shore]]. [[Petra Venj]] and the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] forged an uneasy alliance with [[The Spider]] - [[Kell]] of the Tangled Shore's Fallen mob, where they worked with them to defeat the [[Scorn]] for good.
Taking a chance and needing allies within the Tangled Shore, Petra enlists the aid of a mysterious [[Fallen]] mob that was discovered in the [[Tangled Shore]]. Petra Venj and The Guardian forge an uneasy alliance with [[The Spider]] - [[Kell]] of the Tangled Shore's Fallen mob. In return for information on the location of the Scorn Barons, as well as Uldren, the Guardian would disrupt Scorn operations and take out their leaders, thus restoring the Spider's territory and influence. The Guardian agreed to the Spider's terms and began to hunt down the Scorn Barons one-by-one, leaving only Uldren and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]].
 
The Guardian finally tracked Uldren down to a mysterious Awoken Watchtower that holds some of the Awoken's deepest secrets. Just outside the Watchtower, the Guardians face Fikrul and kill the Scorn Archon, thereby ridding the Scorn of their leadership. Deep within the tower, it is revealed that Uldren's true goal was to find his sister, Queen Mara Sov, who he believes is still alive and trapped behind a mystic gate that can only be opened by a combination of Light and Darkness. Carrying a trace of Darkness within him and a Shard of the Traveler, Uldren succeeds in opening the gate. However, to his horror, what emerged from the gate was not his sister but a monstrous organic servitor-like Taken creature, the [[Voice of Riven]], revealing that Uldren had been used to release the creature and that Mara Sov was never the one guiding him.
 
The Guardian arrives just in time to face the creature and despite its strange power, they succeed in destroying it which also releases Uldren after it captured him. Utterly defeated and powerless, the disgraced Awoken Prince professes that everything he had done, no matter how terrible, he did for his sister. Even so, Uldren accepts his fate and is presumably executed, avenging Cayde and the other lives the Scorn had taken and ruined.
