An intense battle ensued as both forces seemed to be equally matched. Queen Mara and her [[Techeun]]s then summoned the [[Harbinger]]s, weapons of mysterious power that plowed through Oryx's fleet but was unable to damage the Dreadnaught. Oryx activated his [[Oversoul]] in return and unleashed a massive wave of energy that not only destroyed the Awoken fleet but also his own, and created a massive hole within Saturn's rings. Now with his forces stalled above Saturn, Oryx was forced to stand down his invasion of the Inner System, and therefore unleashed his Taken to regain his lost advantage. | After learning of the death of his son, [[Crota]], Oryx personally traveled to the Solar System aboard his [[Dreadnaught]], accompanied by a Hive fleet and his [[Taken]] army.<ref name = "KotakuKing">[http://kotaku.com/leak-destinys-new-expansion-is-the-taken-king-out-sep-1709972043 '''Kotaku''' - ''Leak: Destiny's New Expansion Is The Taken King, Out September 15'']</ref><ref name = "PD">[http://planetdestiny.com/taken-king-analysis/ '''Planet Destiny''': The Taken King Trailer Analysis]</ref> While staging his fleet in the rings of Saturn, Oryx and his fleet was attacked by the forces of the Reefborn [[Awoken]], led by Queen [[Mara Sov]] and Prince [[Uldren Sov]].

There he discovered [[Riven|Riven of a Thousand Voices]], last of the known wish-granting [[Ahamkara]] that Mara Sov hid away. Oryx offered to [[Take]] Riven away; Riven, eager to try bargaining with a king, told Oryx to take whatever he wished, as long as he wished.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Warlock)#Hood_of_the_Great_Hunt|Hood of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> | ||
