As the Reef prepared to fight an approaching [[Hive]] fleet that was nearing [[Saturn]], Sedia participated in a rare meeting with the Coven, discussing what to do about [[Oryx, the Taken King]]. She worried that Oryx might kill Mara if the plan did not succeed, but [[Nascia]] scornfully reminded her of their oath to obey even in the face of defeat, while Coven Mother [[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 [[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.<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> | |||

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 teleported away once more with the Corsairs she had failed to save.<ref name="BC"/> | |||

When the Taken repeated their assault on the Observatory to seize the Oracle Engine, Sedia and Petra met to plan out how to prevent the Taken from succeeding at their plan with their knowledge of the previous assault. They decided to utilize magic to create a ward of protection around the Oracle, but Sedia discovered that she could not cast the spell. Petra resolved to take a unit and secure the Observatory on foot instead, yet found themselves breaking formation and scattering against their will due to the power of the Taken curse. Meeting with the Young Wolf the next day after the Taken had captured the Observatory and sealed off access, Sedia informed them of the Awoken's inability to alter the course of the cycle. She admitted that she believed whoever had cast the curse was a cunning individual who deserved their respect, although the Young Wolf's [[The Ghost|Ghost]]. disagreed.<ref name="TOE"/> | When the Taken repeated their assault on the Observatory to seize the Oracle Engine, Sedia and Petra met to plan out how to prevent the Taken from succeeding at their plan with their knowledge of the previous assault.

Sedia met with the Young Wolf once again in the [[Divalian Mists]] when the Taken captured the Observatory for the third time. The Ghost observed that the timing of the loop seemed like a [[Vex]] simulation, and Sedia agreed, stating she had good reason to believe a Vex mind could be partly responsible for the curse. The Ghost asked why she thought that, but Sedia merely chuckled and thanked the Guardian for their aid before teleporting away.<ref name="TOE"/> During the fourth cycle Sedia asked the Young Wolf if they had fought in the Taken War and revealed that on the eve of the war she and the other Techeun's had been entrusted with knowledge of a secret plan that could cost the Awoken everything they held dear as well as their lives. Sedia stated that plan was still in motion and that it had indeed cost the Awoken much and would exact a further price still, but she believed that the Dreaming City could still be saved and asked the Guardian to once more drive the Taken from the Observatory.<ref name="TOE"/> | Sedia met with the Young Wolf once again in the [[Divalian Mists]] when the Taken captured the Observatory for the third time.

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"/ | 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 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 out they could go fight for, and Sedia apologized, explaining 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"/> | ||
