===Season of the Hunt===
Two years after the Taken Curse first settled on the Dreaming City, Xivu Arath turned her attention back on the city, following the Witch Queen's disappearance. Unburdened by the bond of siblinghood, the Hive God of War had her [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath|High Celebrant]] establish at least three [[Cryptolith]]s in the Awoken city, creating powerful [[Wrathborn]] from the local Hive including [[Dul Arath, Retainer of Xivu Arath]] and [[Xillox, Oppression of Xivu Arath]].

Ultimately, the High Celebrant was also lured and taken down in the city after a long hunt by [[the Guardian]] and [[the Crow]].


===Taking Back the Dreaming City===
===Taking Back the Dreaming City===
After the [[Expunge: Delphi|destruction]] of [[Quria, Blade Transform]] and the [[Override: Last City|Vex invasion]] of the Last City, the [[Vanguard]] [[Cocoon|tracked]] the lightless [[Warlock]] [[Osiris]] to the Dreaming City, where he was revealed to have been impersonated by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] since he lost his [[Light]]. Encased in a crystal of [[Stasis]], the Witch Queen had struck a deal with the returned Queen Mara Sov, who agreed to rid the Hive God of her [[Savathûn's Worm|Worm]] in exchange for getting Osiris back, with the intention of killing her as she came out of the crystal.
In the following months, the Queen would enlist the help of Guardians to protect the [[Blind Well]] from [[Scorn]] and [[Taken]] forces under the command of [[Xivu Arath, God of War]], to establish an [[Astral Alignment]] in preparation of this ritual, as well as the recovery of her Techeun Coven from [[Shattered Realm: Forest of Echoes|the]] [[Shattered Realm: Debris of Dreams|Shattered]] [[Shattered Realm: Ruins of Wrath|Realms]] of the [[Ascendant Plane]]. For this, [[Mara Sov's Chambers]] were connected to the [[H.E.L.M.]] via portal, allowing the [[Vanguard]] to easily coordinate with the Awoken.
Eventually, the alignment would complete, and the [[Exorcism]] would take place as [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] began its final assault. The Guardians protected the Awoken Queen from this onslaught, and she completed the exorcism, hoping to have a clear shot at a weakened Savathûn after its end. The Witch Queen had however prepared a contingent spell that had her switch places with [[Osiris]] as her worm was removed, returning the [[Warlock]] as promised, albeit comatose.

*With the launch of ''The Witch Queen'' expansion, as the Warden of Nothing is moved to the Dreaming City, it becomes the second area to feature at least one of all enemy races, with the Scorn, Hive and Taken being in the regular area, and the [[Cabal]], [[Vex]] and one [[Fallen]] (the Mad Warden) in the aforementioned strike.
**It is also the only such area still in the game, as the Tangled Shore was removed with the same update.
