As the Taken Curse blighted the Dreaming City, Savathûn entrusted her daughter, [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]], to take advantage of the curse to plunder the city of its secrets and more importantly, further her mother's scheme of invading the [[Distributary]] to reach new bounds of godly strength.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]] | As the Taken Curse blighted the Dreaming City, Savathûn entrusted her daughter, [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]], to take advantage of the curse to plunder the city of its secrets and more importantly, further her mother's scheme of invading the [[Distributary]] to reach new bounds of godly strength.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:Truth to Power|Truth to Power]], [[Lore:Truth to Power#react.7Cchoose.7Cact|react|choose|act]]''</ref> By using [[Eleusinia]] as a staging ground and aided by the Taken and Hive sent from her aunt [[Xivu Arath]], Dûl Incaru waged an unending battle against the [[Awoken]]. [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]] called upon her allies in the Guardians to fight back against the Taken curse. After two weeks of fighting the Taken and Hive, a rift to Eleusinia was opened beneath the [[Blind Well]] that allowed the Guardians to battle the Witch-Queen's daughter. Despite the protection of her [[Darkblade|Fatesmith]]s, Dûl Incaru was killed by the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[The Shattered Throne]]''</ref> | ||
However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City.

This apparent time-loop, spun by [[Quria]], both furthers Savathûn's long-term goal of amassing tribute for herself through her subordinates committing violence within spaces with looped or dilated time, and also presents the Guardians with a dilemma: they can either repeatedly strike down Dûl Incaru and relive the same series of events, or they can refuse to do so and allow Dûl Incaru to complete her mission.{{Citation needed}} | However, this seeming failure was all part of Savathûn's greater plans for the Dreaming City.

On Io, Eris Morn heeds the call of a Pyramid to learn what she can. Her attempts to hear the Darkness are disrupted by Savathûn, who jams the Pyramid's broadcasts and sends Hive and Taken to intervene. She is slowly overwhelmed, but the Guardian, who was following her on Zavala's orders, manages to save Eris from the Witch-Queen's servants. Though injured, Eris manages to overcome the Witch Queen's power as she finds a tree of Silver Wings, with a seed of dark power at its base. After returning to the Last City, the Vanguard Commander pleads with her not to go any further but Eris leaves anyway, determined to figure out what Savathûn and the Darkness want.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[A Shadow Overhead]]''</ref> She returns to Io, only to find it swarmed with Savathûn's forces.
