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. Over time, however, [[Ikora Rey]] would reveal that both goals to be fabricated by the Witch Queen herself.

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.
