To further her goals and maintain her advantage, Savathûn entrusted her daughter, [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]] to command the Taken Curse within the Dreaming City and find a way to invade the [[Distributary]], the true origination of the Awoken, to reach new bounds of godly strength,as time ran differently in this subordinate universe and she could actually acquire more tribute in less time, and also the technology the Awoken had used to leave the child universe for the parent universe. Despite having the backing of Xivu Arath's Hive and the Taken at her command, [[Mara Sov]] called upon her Guardians allies to fight back against the Taken corruption. Battling their way to the center of [[Eleusinia]], the former corrupted Throne World of the Awoken Queen, the Guardians fought with Dûl Incaru and killed the daughter of the Witch-Queen. | To further her goals and maintain her advantage, Savathûn entrusted her daughter, [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]] to command the Taken Curse within the Dreaming City and find a way to invade the [[Distributary]], the true origination of the Awoken, to reach new bounds of godly strength,as time ran differently in this subordinate universe and she could actually acquire more tribute in less time, and also the technology the Awoken had used to leave the child universe for the parent universe.

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 the Taken Vex mind Quria and realized by Riven's wish, 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 to find the Distributary. | However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City.

After the deaths of Dûl Incaru, the Guardian was delivered a [[Lore:Truth to Power#series]] of six messages from an unknown sender via [[Glimmer]]. Capitalizing on the confusion sowed by the [[Vanguard]]'s misinterpretations of the "Truth to Power" manuscripts, Savathûn amassed tributes of [[Imbaru]] off the Guardians' attempts to understand her modus operandi. In doing so, however, she would also provide valuable intel hidden within the manuscripts that Ikora and [[The Hidden]] would decipher. | |||
