Crow has found a sector of the Pale Heart where paracusal energies are altered by what appears to be the signature of an Ahamkara. <br> Forces of the Lucent Hive are pouring en masse to the location under Dread control. <br> Stop the Tormentor from using this anomaly and break the Witness' hold on the mysterious site.
|| The Dread has managed to regain possession of the Ahamkara anomaly, and the Shining Hive has launched a new assault to gain its powers. Stop both forces and cleanse the site of the Dread corruption.

Ikora's Hidden network has raised the alarm: the Vex have found a way to access the Pale Heart on their own and have begun to build inside it. <br> The Sol Divisive is fascinated by the rich paracausal forces that flow in every branch of this world and their plans are unknown. <br> Stop the Vex Mind that has infiltrated the Traveler's cortex and eradicate the product of its machinations.
|| The Sol Divisive rebuilt its Mind and grafted itself back into the Traveler. Stop the Vex from transcending and break their hold on the Silver Tree that regulates the flow of paracausal energies.
