Centuries later, during the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] by the [[Guardian]]s of [[The Last City]], Queen Mara decided to grant the [[Vanguard]]'s request for assistance in order for her captured [[Ahamkara]], [[Riven]], to be the last one in existence. They bargained with Riven to provide weapons for the Guardians,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor of the Great Hunt (Titan)#Greaves_of_the_Great_Hunt|Greaves of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> and Illyn met with the [[Titan (class)|Titan]] [[Joxer]] and provided him a crate of weapons to use in the hunt for the wish-dragons. She mocked him for keeping his rifle ready in her presence and accused him of having fear as his primary motivation despite all the power the [[Light]] granted him, but Joxer countered that his fear was well-founded with the destruction the Ahamkara were inflicting upon [[Venus]]. Illyn suggested that the Ahamkara were simply rewriting Venus, not destroying it, but Joxer cared little for the distinction. Opening the crate of weapons Illyn explained that per the terms of their bargain laid out by "her", the weapons would need to be returned once the Great Hunt was finished, and refused to answer any of the Titan's questions about why or who set the terms of the agreement.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor of the Great Hunt (Titan)#Plate_of_the_Great_Hunt|Plate of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | Centuries later, during the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]] by the [[Guardian]]s of [[The Last City]], Queen Mara decided to grant the [[Vanguard]]'s request for assistance in order for her captured [[Ahamkara]], [[Riven]], to be the last one in existence.

With the knowledge of the Hive God's [[The Sword Logic|Sword Logic]] and his ability to survive death through the use of a Throne World in the [[Ascendant realm|Ascendant Realm]], Illyn, the Techeun coven, and Riven began aiding Mara in the construction of her own Throne World. As the Techeuns built the [[Blind Well]] within the Dreaming City to act as a key to opening a portal to Mara's throne, Illyn created multiple tinctures of [[Tincture of Queensfoil|Queensfoil]] to enter the Ascendant Realm, to the point where her hands became stained reddish-black. Utilizing the Queensfoil to manipulate threads of reality within the other realm, bringing some closer together while pushing others away. Once Illyn and the Techeuns completed their task, Mara named her throne world [[Eleusinia]] and gathered with Illyn and her coven in the Blind Well. When [[Sedia]] expressed concerns over having a key to Eleusinia that could only be charged with paracasual energy generated by Guardians, Illyn told her that they must follow Mara's plan and to remember her vows.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Throne|Throne]]''</ref> | ||
Before the fateful [[Battle of Saturn]] Illyn presided over a rare meeting with the Coven, discussing what to do about [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. Illyn instructed Shuro Chi, Sedia, and Kalli to take the youngest [[Harbingers]] and "plant them" inside the [[Dreadnaught]], "a dead thing to have children of their own".<ref name="Coven"/> | Before the fateful [[Battle of Saturn]] Illyn presided over a rare meeting with the Coven, discussing what to do about [[Oryx, the Taken King]].

After the battle, Illyn, [[Portia]], [[Nascia]] and [[Lissyl]] worked to find a way to control Taken energies together. During one of their studies, Illyn tried to communicate with [[Shuro Chi]] and made the fatal mistake of wishing for her and Mara and Uldren to come back, attracting Riven. All the Techeuns present were presumably murdered by the Ahamkara.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Illyn|The Awoken of the Reef - Illyn]]''</ref> | After the battle, Illyn, [[Portia]], [[Nascia]] and [[Lissyl]] worked to find a way to control Taken energies together.
