As Savathûn neared gaining complete control over the Taken, within the [[Reef]], the Witch-Queen gained a new and powerful ally in the form of [[Riven]], the last known [[Ahamkara]] in the Solar System; Taken by Oryx during the onset of the Taken War and the first invasion of the [[Dreaming City]]. However, unlike most Taken, Riven retained her sense of self and free will. With Oryx's passing and the Taken leaderless, Savathûn made contact with the Taken within the City and Riven, giving the Ahamkara a new purpose to serve the Witch-Queen.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Armor of the Great Hunt (Warlock)#Boots of the Great Hunt|Boots of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> Through Riven, the Taken were prepared to corrupt the whole of the Awoken and launch an invasion of the Reef, using proxies like [[Uldren Sov]] and his [[Fallen]] [[Scorn]]. Though Riven succeeded in opening the gateway to the City,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Nothing Left to Say]]''</ref> it left her vulnerable to the [[Guardian]]s sent to kill her. The Guardians, aided by their Awoken allies and the formerly Taken [[Techeun]]s, managed to kill Riven and cleanse her Taken essence. Nonetheless, her death served a purpose as the Ahamkara transcended death and granted one last wish: cursing the Dreaming City with Taken energies and altering its rules of ascendancy.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Last Wish]]''</ref> | As Savathûn neared gaining complete control over the Taken, within the [[Reef]], the Witch-Queen gained a new and powerful ally in the form of [[Riven of a Thousand Voices|Riven]], the last known [[Ahamkara]] in the Solar System; Taken by Oryx during the onset of the Taken War and the first invasion of the [[Dreaming City]].

Whether Savathûn was implied to have aligned with her sister or not, Xivu Arath had seemingly taken measures to assume control over the Taken and Hive within the Dreaming City. Entities sworn to the God of War attempted to steal Awoken relics of dangerous knowledge, with powerful Taken creatures supporting them. Though the Guardians put a stop to this scheme, it proved that the two scheming sisters have shared a seemingly mutual alliance to seize their brother's Taken army for themselves.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Broken Courier]]''</ref> | Whether Savathûn was implied to have aligned with her sister or not, Xivu Arath had seemingly taken measures to assume control over the Taken and Hive within the Dreaming City.
