'''Sedia''', formerly known as '''Sedia, the Corrupted''' while she was [[Taken]], is an [[Awoken]] [[Techeun]] who served Queen [[Mara Sov]]. She was one of Mara's primary advisors and served her as a bodyguard following the [[Wolf Rebellion]]. Sedia was Taken by [[Oryx, the Taken King]] in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Saturn]], but she was later freed by [[The Guardian|the Young Wolf]] from her corruption and helped lead the Awoken in resisting the Taken curse placed upon the [[Dreaming City]]. She is the boss of [[The Corrupted]] [[Strike]].

===Preparing the Path to Godhood===

{{Quote|It's just- do we…"<br>"Do we wish to trust the Guardians?|Sedia and Illyn, worrying over the part the Guardians played in Mara's plans}}

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]], [[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]], [[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>

After months of preparation, the Reef prepared to fight an approaching [[Hive]] fleet that was nearing [[Saturn]] led by Oryx, Sedia participated in a rare meeting with the Coven, discussing the upcoming confrontation with the Taken King. She worried that Oryx might kill Mara if their plan did not succeed, but [[Nascia]] scornfully reminded her of their oath to obey even in the face of defeat, while Illyn assured her they only faced temporary defeat, but would have victory in the future. Sedia was selected alongside Shuro Chi and Kalli to take all but the oldest [[Harbinger]]s into battle against Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]], but she again expressed doubt in the plan and worried that the Harbingers would not have the wisdom to match Oryx's flagship, causing Illyn to question Sedia's faith in Queen Mara.<ref name="Coven"/>

 

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]], [[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]], [[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]], [[Reverie Dawn Armor#Reverie Dawn Casque / Helm / Hood|Reverie Dawn Helmet]]''</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]], [[Reverie Dawn Armor#Reverie Dawn Cloak / Mark / Bond|Reverie Dawn Class Item]]''</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]], [[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]] [[Techeun]]s, 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]], [[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]], [[The Corrupted]]''</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]], [[The Shattered Throne]]''</ref>

 

Although the Young Wolf's succeeded at killing [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]] within Eleusinia, the Taken curse did not break. Instead, the Dreaming City reset to its state in the aftermath of Riven's demise, although all the Awoken retained their memories of what had occurred. When the Hive assaulted the temples to steal the Awoken data artifacts, Sedia attempted to warn the Corsairs who had previously died of what was coming. However, she found herself unable to speak and felt as if a "clawed fist" was wrapped around her throat. When the Young Wolf arrived in the Confluence, Sedia sadly explained what had happened before teleporting away once more with the corpses of the Corsairs she had failed to save.<ref name="BC"/>
