Shortly after the [[Awoken]] returned to the [[Solar System]] from the [[Distributary]], Sedia and her fellow [[Techeun]]s assisted the newly crowned [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]] in dealing with several crises as their civilization established itself in the [[Reef]]. Following an exodus of Awoken who felt they needed to return to [[Earth]] and assist the remaining [[Human]]s living there, Sedia and the Techeuns augmented the Queen's powers to reach out to them and appeal for them to return to the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Console, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/The_Asteroid_Belt#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Reef_2|Ghost Fragment: The Reef 2]]''</ref> She was acquainted with a fellow Awoken who died on Earth and was resurrected as a [[Guardian]] named [[Zavala]]. She observed that despite no longer having his memories, his personality did not change significantly.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Petra Venj]] idle dialogue: "Did you know Sedia says she used to know Zavala before he died and became a Guardian? She said he hasn't changed much."''</ref>

With the alliance forged between the Reef and Eris, Sedia and her fellow Techeuns began preparing for a confrontation with the Taken King and to help Mara ascend to godhood in her confrontation with the Hive god. As part of the plan, construction began on the [[Blind Well]] in the [[Dreaming City]] that would be able to open a portal to Mara's throne world of [[Eleusinia]]. Together with the help of [[Lissyl]] and the [[Ahamkara]] [[Riven]], Sedia utilized her magic to craft the first borehole which connected to [[The Confluence]] below them. Once construction was complete and they prepared to connect the Blind Well to Eleusinia, Sedia became worried and questioned if it would not be best to leave the door to Mara's throne room without a key. Mara corrected her that it was an egg, while [[Kalli]] suggested the "key" was so heavy as to be unliftable. Sedia remained worried, as the "key" was in fact paracausal energy that could only be created by Guardians wielding [[Light]], and hesitated to question if they could trust them. Coven Mother [[Illyn]] voiced her concerns for her, although Mara left without another word, and Illyn simply reminded Sedia to follow her vows.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Dreaming_City#Throne|Throne]]''</ref>

When the Awoken fleet [[Battle of Saturn|intercepted]] Oryx's Dreadnaught and escort vessels in the rings of Saturn, Sedia aided Shuro Chi and Kalli in providing support to Mara to launch the Harbingers at the Dreadnaught. While they succeeded in destroying the escort vessels, the Dreadnaught itself suffered no major damage, and Oryx responded to the assault upon his fleet by unleashing the Dreadnaught's primary weapon.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref> Sedia, Shuro Chi, and Kalli escaped via emergency selfgates to the Dreaming City as the Awoken fleet was annihilated, but Mara remained behind as part of the plan for her ascension into godhood.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Tyrannocide_V|Tyrannocide V]]''</ref> Unfortunately, Shuro Chi's efforts to bring Mara with them left her selfgate open long enough for Oryx's essence from the weapon to follow them into the Dreaming City,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Reverie_Dawn_Armor#Reverie_Dawn_Casque_/_Helm_/_Hood|Reverie Dawn Casque / Helm / Hood]]''</ref> which resulted in Sedia and her two fellow Techeuns being [[Taken]] by Oryx alongside Riven and caused the corruption of the Dreaming City.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Reverie_Dawn_Armor#Reverie_Dawn_Cloak_/_Mark_/_Bond|Reverie Dawn Cloak / Mark / Bond]]''</ref> Due to their disappearance, the Reef's remaining leadership assumed Sedia, Shuro, and Kalli had perished along with the rest of the fleet.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Inventory/Special_Weapons#Telesto|Telesto]]''</ref>

When the [[The Guardian|Young Wolf]] first reached the [[Dreaming City]], Sedia was present along with her fellow [[Taken]] [[Techeuns]], Shuro Chi and Kalli. Upon the Guardian's approach, she and her sister Techeuns immediately banished them into the [[Ascendant realm]], forcing them to escape.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Awakening (mission)]]''</ref> A [[Guardian]] [[Strike]] team led by the Young Wolf was later commissioned by [[Petra Venj]] to push deep into Sedia's lair within the [[Dreaming City]], where they successfully weakened her and freed her from her Taken corruption. While glad to be freed of the corruption, Sedia was terrified that she would be Taken again and despaired over having been forced to give her secrets up to [[Savathûn, the Witch-Queen]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Corrupted]]''</ref>

After the Hive and Taken began breaking into Awoken temples throughout the Dreaming City to steal artifacts containing data on Awoken secrets, Sedia went to [[The Confluence]] and began gathering the bodies of [[Corsair]]s who had fallen defending the artifacts. She gathered the bodies of five Corsairs and was met by the Young Wolf, who had been tasked by Petra with hunting down and retrieving the artifacts. Sedia lamented the losses and curse that had befallen the Awoken at the hands of the Hive and Taken and encouraged the Young Wolf to exact revenge upon them before creating a selfgate to transport herself and the bodies to safety.<ref name="BC">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Broken Courier]]''</ref> A week later, Sedia learned that the Taken had seized the Observatory where the [[Oracle Engine]] was located. She requested the Young Wolf clear the Taken from the Observatory and save the Engine, as it was the only way the Awoken had to contact Queen Mara Sov and it could not be replaced or repaired.<ref name="TOE">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Oracle Engine]]''</ref>

More than two weeks after the Taken curse was laid upon the Dreaming City, Sedia met with the Young Wolf outside of the portal leading to [[Eleusinia]], the Queen's corrupted throne world. Angered by all the devastation visited upon the Awoken by the Riven's curse, Sedia informed the Guardian that the [[Blind Well]] had charged up fully and opened the portal. She encouraged them to enter Eleusinia and put an end to the curse if they could, but warned them that if the walls started to whisper they should ignore what they said.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Shattered Throne]]''</ref>

In the fifth cycle, Sedia met with the Young Wolf once more along the cliffside in the [[Divalian Mists]] and noted that all was the same once more as the Taken assaulted the Observatory. Their Ghost suggested that at least combating the curse every week was making them stronger, but Sedia noted that it taught their enemies as much as it did them and wished the Queen's blessings upon them before departing.<ref name="TOE"/> Sedia, Shuro, and Kalli also had a troubling vision during the fifth week of the cycle, although they dared not make direct contact with Mara to inform her of what they saw for fear of infecting her with the Taken curse.<ref name="OO">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/oracle-offering-loop-5-week-2 Oracle Offering]''</ref> In the sixth loop, Sedia questioned why the Young Wolf was fighting for the Awoken, as the Dreaming City was not their home. Their Ghost claimed that it was the right thing to do, and Sedia was amused that idealism was the answer. The Ghost angrily retorted that there was a whole universe they could go fight for instead, causing Sedia to apologize and explain that she did not mean to offend them, but the Ghost still left angry.<ref name="TOE"/> In the seventh iteration, Sedia thanked the Guardian for their commitment to the Awoken's cause and expressed her respect for them.<ref name="TOE"/>
