During a mission to stabilize the [[New Pacific Arcology]]'s foundation on [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], the Guardians discover multiple Hive rituals with the purpose of sinking the Arcology.

However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City. After Dûl Incaru's death at the hands of the Guardians, the Dreaming City reverted to the state it had been in upon first being unsealed by the Guardian, progressing again through the same process of becoming corrupted by the Taken and culminating in another battle between Dûl Incaru and the Guardians. This apparent time-loop, spun by [[Quria]], both furthers Savathûn's long-term goal of amassing tribute for herself through her subordinates committing violence within spaces with looped or dilated time, and also presents the Guardians with a dilemma: they can either repeatedly strike down Dûl Incaru and relive the same series of events, or they can refuse to do so and allow Dûl Incaru to complete her mission. | However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City.

[[file:Crownsorrow.jpg|thumb|300px|Gahlran, the Sorrow Bearer]] | |||
During the events of [[Season of Opulence]], Calus had [[Gahlran, the Sorrow-Bearer]] wear an ancient Hive artifact known as the [[Crown of Sorrow]] in an attempt to command the Hive; only for it to trigger Savathûn's enchantments that were placed on the artifact that would drive Gahlran insane, unleashing the Hive within the [[Leviathan]]'s [[Menagerie]]. Gahlran's terror was only short-lived as Calus had him put down by a raid team of [[Guardian]]s with the aid of Savathûn's magic and the Crown retrieved to be cleansed of the witch's wards. However, Calus still held onto various prisomers belonging to Savathûn's Brood, most specifically [[Arunak, Beloved by Calus]]. | |||

Now with the Witch Queen nowhere in sight for her court to know, many members of the Brood would either be converted into [[Wrathborn]] or be remade in Xivu's image as the case with [[Kudazad, Binder of Savathûn|Kudazad, Bound to Xivu Arath]]. While those who remained loyal to the Witch Queen joined her [[Lucent Brood]]. | ||
