Eleusinia is the Throne World of Mara Sov and the setting of "The Shattered Throne" Dungeon. It was artificially created by Mara using knowledge of the Sword Logic provided by Eris Morn and with the aid of her Techeuns and Riven. Since Mara's apparent death in the Battle of Saturn, it has become overrun by Taken due to Oryx's desecration of the realm. It is now a staging ground for Savathûn's daughter, Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return. It is accessible through a gateway beneath the Blind Well in the Dreaming City.[1]
