 While the Guardians used the [[Altars of Summoning]] in Savathûn's Throne World to empower Eris Morn into the God of Vengeance to confront Xivu Arath, they would come to face a Taken invasion led by the Tormentor [[Axsaeniia, Reverent of the Witness]]. Despite the surprise attack, Axsaeniia and its followers did nothing more than add more tribute to to Eris's tithes.
+===The Hunt for Riven's Clutch===
+With Xivu Arath's banishment from her [[Black Terrace|throne world]], many of the Taken would become scattered and purposeless. However, despite her power waning, Xivu Arath would still maintain control and influence over some of them. Despite lacking a commanding will, the Taken would invade and occupy parts of [[Riven's Lair]]. Due to their rabid search for purpose, the [[Sol Divisive]] would begin to imprison [[Raging Ogre]]s within the lair.
+Upon catching one of Riven's eggs using the Ley Lines, the Guardian is sent to retrieve it. They fight their way through the lair, defeating Taken forces, slaying the Taken Ogre, [[Ungoloth, Wayward Beast]], and successfully retrieving the egg. Later the Guardian is sent to secure the Observatory so they can commune with the Harbinger. The Guardians fights their way through Taken forces and confront the [[Mukor, Soulkeeper|two]] [[Ugroth, Soulkeeper|soulkeepers]]. Despite their efforts, they would defeated by the Guardian, failing to stop their communion with the Harbinger.
+Due to one of Riven's eggs being captured by the Sol Divisive, the Guardian returns to the [[Black Garden]] to retrieve it. In the Garden, the Taken attempt to defend Taranis's lair from the Guardian. However they fail, allowing an other egg to fall into the Lightbearers hands. When another Ahamkara egg was caught by the Techeuns, the Taken would invade the lair attempting to corrupt the egg. The Guardian would arrive at the lair, defeating Taken, and their champion, [[Roln'gur, Blade-bound to the Terrace]]. However the Taken would succeed in corrupting the egg. Despite this setback, [[Mara Sov]] come up with a solution: they would acquire an Taken essentia from completing an Ascendant Challenge, then allow the whim to feed on their desires. Despite the power of the corruption, the Guardian and their allies would succeed, cleansing the egg of its corruption.
+====Blighted Vengeance====
+When the Warlord [[Naeem]] was killed by the [[House of Kings]], she would make one last wish of vengeance to the slain Ahamkara [[Hefnd]]. Taking advantage of the Taken's desire for purpose, Hefnd would begin to call them to the ruined castle, using their corruption to raise the dead House of Kings members as [[Scorn]], as vengeance for the fallen Warlord. Later [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]], who was leading his own group of Scorn independent from the Witness, sends his Broken Knights led by [[Rathil, First Broken Knight of Fikrul|Rathil]] to claim the Scorn at the castle.
+Searching for more evidence of the Scorn presence and Riven claiming the region is claimed by another Ahamkara, Guardians are sent by Crow and Petra to learn more. Upon arriving further up the mountain, the Guardians defeat Rathil. However they are teleported to a prison by a Blighted Chimera serving as Hefnd's avatar. Breaking free from the prison, they traverse further through the fortress and defeat the [[Locus of Wailing Grief]]. Arrging at the summit, the Guardians slay the Blighted Chimera, [[Hefnd's Vengeance, Blighted Chimaera|Hefnd's Vengeance]]. Exploring further through the castle and collecting the Ahamkara's bones, they learn about the relationship between Naeem and Hefnd.
