The Guardian quickly killed the Taken Chimera and fulfilled their vengeance for [[Cayde-6]]. | ||
[[Petra Venj]], investigating the source of Uldren's corruption, gave the Guardian a Awoken talisman that they could grant both entry into the City. Having returned for the first time to the Dreaming City since the Taken War, Petra surmised Riven as the cause of the Taken and Uldren's corruption 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. | [[Petra Venj]], investigating the source of Uldren's corruption, gave the Guardian a Awoken talisman that they could grant both entry into the City.

A Guardian Raid team was quickly formed and breached their way into the corrupted heart of the city, 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]]. Instead of ending the curse, Riven's wish increasingly worsened its conditions; 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 heart of the city, where they freed the [[Techeun]]s [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from their Taken corruption.

Instead of ending the curse, Riven's wish increasingly worsened its conditions; Taken energies having saturated and engulfed huge portions of the city. Soon enough, the entire realm was plunged into an unending battle between the Guardians and Awoken [[Corsairs]] against the armies of [[Taken]] and [[Hive]] sent under [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] with remnants of [[Scorn]] in between. | ||
Meanwhile, Petra would provide tactical support for a [[Vanguard]] strike team to free the last Techeun [[Sedia]] of her 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]], 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]]. With the curse now at its peak, the [[Techeun]]s used the [[Blind Well]] (which was kept charged with [[Light]] by the Guardians) and open a rift into Eleusinia, where the Guardians could confront the Witch and her [[Darkblade]] 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]], 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]].
