The Techeuns of the Reef have their origins in the founding era of Awoken civilization. After the establishment of Awoken society in the [[Distributary]], a council of scientists was tasked with preserving the useful technology that had been brought with them into the pocket universe.

The surviving Techeuns did not cooperate well with the Reef's interim regent, [[Petra Venj]]. However, they acquiesced to partnership in Reef experiments to extract and control Taken energies.

Following the Battle of Saturn, [[Sedia]], Shuro Chi, and [[Kalli]] - formerly presumed deceased - were all [[Taken]] by Oryx, the Taken King. Following his death, [[Savathûn]] assumed control of the Taken Techeuns, where they now serve under her champion, the Taken Ahamkara Riven, within the Dreaming City.  
Following the Battle of Saturn, [[Sedia]], Shuro Chi, and [[Kalli]] - formerly presumed deceased - were all [[Taken]] by Oryx, the Taken King. Following his death, [[Savathûn]] assumed control of them, where they now serve under her champion, the Taken Ahamkara Riven, within the Dreaming City. Fortunately, a Guardian Raid team managed to breach the Dreaming City and actually free the Techeuns from their Taken corruption which allowed them to aid the Guardians in defeating Riven and cleanse the Awoken homeland.
 
A year after the battle, technological mites found in [[Freehold]] began infecting Guardians. The Owl Sector and the Hidden were working on developing a cure, and contacted Petra Venj to negotiate for assistance from the Techeuns. She granted the Last City assistance, under the premise that any cure developed would be available to the Reef, as well as aid if the mites reached them.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Owl Sector Records]] - [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Brilliance 3.2|Brilliance 3.2]]''</ref> Together with the Owl Sector and the Hidden, they were successful in creating a cure.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/15)''', ''[[Owl Sector Records]] - [[Grimoire:Activities/Other Activities#Glory 2.1|Glory 2.1]]''</ref>
 
After Petra Venj opened the Dreaming City to Guardians, a Raid team managed to breach the Taken defenses and freed the Techeuns from their Taken corruption which allowed them to aid the Guardians in defeating Riven and cleanse the Awoken homeland.


It is unclear how many Techeuns have been there in total, with Shuro Chi speaking about "generations" of them. However, by the decree of the Queen, the three surviving ones will train no more new ones.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/pilgrimage-spine-of-keres-meditation-circle Pilgrimages: Spine of Keres, Meditation Circle]''</ref>

Afterwards, the old and new orders of Techeuns became vital members of [[The Coalition]], with Ylaia being part of an operation to scout Xivu Arath's operations in the Ascendant Plane before her assault on the [[Heist Battleground: Moon|Submind Vault]] on the [[Moon]]<ref> '''Bungie (12/06/2022)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]], [[Tripwire Canary]] lore tab''</ref> and the Techeuns assisting Mara Sov in casting a protective shield over the [[Farm]] during the [[Invasion of Earth]].

===Summoning Riven===
Under the orders of Mara Sov, the Techeuns prepared to summon the spirit of Riven so she could grant the fifteenth wish and allow Coalition forces to pursue the Witness. However, [[Sol Divisive]] forces began invading the [[Keep of Voices]], forcing them to evacuate. The Guardian cleared the Keep for them, and gathered a tooth from Riven for the Techeuns' spell. After the Guardian gave them the tooth, the Techeuns opened a portal for them to the [[Wall of Wishes]], where they attempted to enter the fifteenth wish. Meanwhile, under the supervision of Mara, they summoned Riven, and maintained her presence for the following weeks as the Guardian worked to retrieve her lost clutch.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Final Wish (mission)|Final Wish]]''</ref>
