Sometime later, the Guardian would be called upon by [[Quinn Laghari]], the chief archivist of Neomuna's [[Hall of Heroes]], stating that after the Veil was used by Calus, Neomuna's defenses went through a reboot which ultimately allowed the Vex to infiltrate the Hall of Heroes and vandalize some of the monuments to the past Cloud Striders. With the Guardian's help, they not only restore the monuments but also learn that the Vex are looking for something within the CloudArk, "The Occlusion", as referred to by the first Cloud Striders. After thwarting the Vex's attempt to breach the CloudArk, the Guardian and Quinn learn that the Vex's actual goal is to reclaim a Vex Mind of theirs, [[Soteria]], which has been resting within the CloudArk since Neomuna's founding but has no true intent to return to the Vex, having come to enjoy the "quiet" of being away from the collective. Despite this revelation, the Guardian and Quinn save Soteria from being taken back by the Vex, to which the Vex Mind expresses its gratitude and informs them that an [[Ahsa|enemy]] of The Witness lies imprisoned on Titan. | Sometime later, the Guardian would be called upon by [[Quinn Laghari]], the chief archivist of Neomuna's [[Hall of Heroes]], stating that after the Veil was used by Calus, Neomuna's defenses went through a reboot which ultimately allowed the Vex to infiltrate the Hall of Heroes and vandalize some of the monuments to the past Cloud Striders.

====Clash of the Hive Gods==== | |||
When [[Eris Morn]] transformed herself into the Hive God of Vengeance to challenge Xivu Arath, the Guardians would be sent to the [[Altars of Summoning]] to slay powerful foes as tithes for Eris. Upon arriving at the [[Altar of Feracity]], the Guardian summons fourth Precursor Vex led by the [[Prevenient Mind]], [[Proximate Mind]], and [[Prevailing Mind]]. Despite their superior numbers, the Vex would be slain, with their deaths being tithed to Eris Morn. | |||
====Invasion of the Dreaming City==== | |||
With [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath's]] banishment from her [[Black Terrace|throne world]] and the Vanguard discovering a way to enter the portal inside the Traveler, the Witness responds by sending the Sol Divisive to invade the Dreaming City. The Guardians arrives at the Keep of Voices and defeats the Vex guarding Riven's remains, with the Techeuns awakening her spirit. When the first of Riven's eggs was pulled out of the Ley Lines and into her lair, the Sol Divisive would send the [[Aspirational Construct]], a powerful Hydra that serves as the Witness's eyes and ears to retrieve it. However they come into conflict with the Guardian who is sent into the lair to secure the egg. Despite being empowered with a core of Darkness, the Aspirational Construct is destroyed, allowing the egg to fall into the Guardian's hands. | |||
When more eggs continued to be secured by the Guardian, the Sol Divisive would respond by creating [[Akardon, Pitiless Mind]] to simulate the Techeuns and deploy Oracles from the Vault of Glass into Riven's Lair. The Oracles would attempt to mimic resonance, an aspect of the Darkness utilized by the Witness and its Disciples. Arriving at Riven's Lair to secure the next egg, the Guardian slays a powerful Taken Ogre imprisoned by the Vex and discover the Oracle presence. Upon defeating the [[Deceptor Mind]], the Guardian goes to retrieve the egg. However this would prove to be a distraction, as the Sol Divisive would successfully steal the egg, sending fourth the [[Centroidal Mind]] and transporting the egg into [[Taranis]]'s lair within the Black Garden. After defeating the Axis Mind, the Guardian enters the Black Garden to find and secure the egg. Infiltrating Taranis's Lair, the Guardian fights through hordes of Vex and Taken. Combining the power of the Riven and Taranis's paracausal sparks, the Guardian defeats Akardon and retrieves the egg. | |||
Continuing their assault within the Dreaming City, the Vex place Oracles around the Confluence, where its heart contains the final egg. However the Oracles are destroyed by the Guardians, who successfully retrieve the final egg and make the fifteenth wish to pursue the Witness. Despite their failure, the Sol Divisive continue their invasion to halt the efforts of the Coalition. Through their studies of the Darkness, the Sol Divisive would attempt to merge with the collective consciousness of the Witness but to no avail. | |||
