The Harbinger's Seclude is a location in the Dreaming City that lies within a massive monastery[1], housing ceremonial sites and Awoken statues, as well as an entrance to the Confluence.
On the lower levels, accessible by a large elevator, the Hall of Names can be found. The chamber is filled with statues of revered Awoken[2] and is where the Techeuns and Paladins would ceremoniously receive their titles.[3] There also Petra Venj received her title of Queen's Wrath.[4]
In Season of the Hunt, it was here that the Guardian and Crow lured the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath for the final showdown.[5]
TriviaEdit
- Among other notable personas, the monastery houses statues of Kelda Wadj,[6] Osana Sov[7] and queens Alis Li[8] and Devna Tel,[9] as well as a tree planted by Mara Sov for Sjur Eido after the latter's disappearance.[10]
- The place has various connections to the Ahamkara. Skulls of Huginn and Muninn can be found in the Hall of Names and bargained with, as well as the nest of Eao.[11] Shuro Chi also shows the Guardian the place where the Awoken used to seal deals with the wish-dragons,[12] reflecting on the day Queen Mara would greet the last Ahamkara fleeing the Great Hunt there.[13]
- The place could have possibly been named after the Queen's Harbingers.

- ^ a b Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "That is Osana Sov, the Queenmother. She did not follow her children to the Reef. Forgive me, Queen Mara, for saying this, but — I feel she was a coward."
- ^ Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "This is a statue of Queen Devna Tel, ruler of the Distributary, last of her name. She held the throne when the Sky and the Deep came to the Awoken to collect their terms. She chose to stay, and Mara chose to go."
- ^ Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "That is a statue of Alis Li, the great bargainer. They say she turned the Green into the storm. They say she cast out the lightning sails to attract both the Light and the Dark. But those are not my stories to tell. Not really…"
- ^ a b Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "It's taboo to carve a statue for someone who still lives, and so sometimes, we will plant trees instead. The Queen planted this one herself after one of our best warriors went missing. Would that we were all so lucky."
- ^ Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "This bowl was once a nest for Eao — he was a sly little Ahamkara, always laughing, always twining around your legs, whispering lies, saying "I have seen your eyes, o witch-mage mine." We never expected him to go bad."
- ^ a b Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken - Shuro Chi: "The Awoken knew the Ahamkara long before the Guardians ever noticed them. We made our alliances and cut our deals at this pillar— and for the most part, we lived alongside each other."
- ^ Bungie (2018/9/4), Destiny 2: Forsaken- Shuro Chi: "I remember the day that the last Ahamkara arrived in the Dreaming City. Queen Mara was standing beside this pillar. She turned toward the horizon and saw the refugees fleeing extinction, and she felt… pity, I think. Perhaps empathy."
