Ikora feared the Taken may have found new leadership and asked the Guardian to investigate a [[Cabal]] [[Excavation Site II|base]] that reportedly had a lot of Taken activity.

===The Dreaming Curse=== | |||
When [[Riven]] met its demise at the hand of the Guardians, it fed on their collective wish to save the [[Dreaming City]] and granted a Last Wish where it manifested a Taken Curse. The Hive with the assistance of the directionless Taken were able to assault the City and targeted important temples and relics that contained many [[Awoken]] secrets. The Guardian took to action and defeated the Disciples of Quria, [[Inkasi, Disciple of Quria|Inkasi]] and [[Ur Haraak, Disciple of Quria|Ur Haraak]], that were lurking within the lost regions of the City and prevented the Grasp of Quria, [[Vakarsik, Grasp of Quria|Vaksari]], from enacting a restoration ritual within the [[Ascendant Plane]]. | |||
They defeated the Curse at [[The Shattered Throne]], however, the Curse took its true shape whereby the Dreaming City entered a state of perpetual time loop in which past events repeated themselves every 3 weeks and tied to the death of [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return|Dûl Incaru]]. [[Ghost]] noted that the closest records pointed to Vex simulations, but believed the Curse was far too cruel to be a simulation. [[Osiris]] shared his thoughts to [[Petra Venj]] and reported that only Vex simulations were capable of this level of fidelity, but due to no Vex presence within the City, they believed the Taken and Hive were behind this. In the third cycle, Ghost observed that the timing of the loop felt like clockwork similar to a Vex simulation. [[Sedia]] agreed and suspected that a Vex Mind may have helped orchestrate the Curse, but went no further with details. | |||
When the Guardian came in contact with [[Toland]] in the Ascendant Plane, he explained that the Curse was a prototype to something far more cunning and mentioned that Quria was the key as it's paracasual state of being Taken itself has allowed it to fully simulate the Taken King to command the Taken and to Take, but explained the Mind did not have the power itself. Quria's ability to Take differed to the King who was able to transform beings at will, whilst the new Taken army were previously observed to have been transformed through the overexposure of Blights. | |||
