'''Quria, the Dreaming Mind''', also known as the '''Blade Transform''', is a [[Vex]] [[Axis Mind]] [[Hydra]] that was [[Taken]] by [[Oryx, the Taken King]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XLIII:_End_of_Failed_Timeline|XLIII: End of Failed Timeline]]''</ref>  

The Vex originally created the Blade Mind with the objective of conquering Oryx's throne world and to unravel the secrets that governed it by gaining an understanding of the [[Sword Logic]]. Quria was unsuccessful in its campaigns against Oryx and was Taken, but notably retained its will. The Mind was later gifted by the Taken King to his sister, [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]].  Following his death, Quria served as the Taken commander for Savathun after mastering the ability to Take through its simulations of Oryx.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, [[Toland]]: [[Toland#Quotes|Quria is the key. The mind simulates Oryx, and thereby masters the power to Take. But of course, Quria is no power unto itself.]]</ref>

Later, Quria played an integral role in being the architect of the [[Endless Night]].

===Birth of the Vex Blade===

The origins of Quria emanates from an ancient conflict between the Vex and the [[Hive]]. [[Crota, Son of Oryx]] once aspired to match the powers of his sister's and cut open a wound into an unknown region of space with the goal of obtaining new secret power, however, he unknowingly released the Vex onto the throne world of [[Oryx, the Taken King]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXVIII:_The_partition_of_death|XXXVIII: The partition of death]]''</ref> The machines quickly dominated his father's throne and constructed large problems to understand the rules of the realm, however they lacked the ability to understand the [[Sword Logic]] and perplexing geometry of the world. The Vex then reformulated their strategy and sent the problem to a higher consciousness known as the "ritual-of-better-thoughts" who manifested a new [[Axis Mind]] into existence named '''Quria, Blade Transform'''. The Mind was built with aim of deducing the metaphysical framework that governed Oryx's realm. Quria deduced the secrets of the Sword Logic and understood that for the Vex to succeed they must kill everything to become powerful as only the strongest entities were able to rule and with the ultimate aim to survive anything in the universe.<ref name="Quria 1">'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Books_of_Sorrow#XXXIX:_open_your_eye_:_go_into_it|XXXIX: open your eye : go into it]]''</ref>

===A Lie to Power===

As more weeks progressed, the Guardian received a series of cryptic messages encoded within [[glimmer]] that purportedly spoke truth to power. The very nature of speaking truth to power is a non-violent political tactic employed by dissidents against an established authority. Previously, Savathûn noted that Oryx's own doctrines were filled with lies and now attempted to challenge those Hive ideas with her own. However, these messages were a tool by Savathûn to express her radical Hive ideas and to manipulate the perceptions of the Guardian through a convoluted mess of lies and half truths.
