Oryx ransacked the Dreaming City in the background of the events of the Taken King. Riven allowed herself to be Taken by Oryx during that time. Then, later, Savathun took up control of Riven's strings for her own schemes. At some point, Uldren wished for Fikrul to be saved, and Riven took advantage of that to turn Fikrul into the first Scorn, and amplified the Darkness corruption the Black Garden infected him with to influence his decisions. Then the events of Forsaken happened. Riven used Uldren in an attempt to free herself, and the Guardian and Petra executed him. We were sent in to kill Riven and cleanse her heart, and tripped the wire for the Dreaming City curse to take effect. ------------------------- Everything you've said is nothing but conspiracy and nonsense, completely detached from the story of the game.

I still go into the dreaming city because they got rid of bounties everywhere else, and I like the old bounties, I know a lot more people do too, I see comments all the time. When there really isn't much to do, or I like to do, I still had bounties. Anyone else feel this way? Been playing since the beginning, except I didn't play the beta.

That's not what happened though. Mara Sov wasn't helping us. She was using the attack on her people as a distraction. You want to read about it? I'd recommend reading all of it... but if you want to skip ahead: [url=https://www.destinypedia.com/Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Tyrannocide_I]Tyrannocide I[/url] Which is the "death of a Tyrant". If you want to know why Petra took lead in temporary absentia? It was because she was loyal. The Awoken are supposed to be a meritocracy, Petra ensured there would be no dispute, protest, or contest to Mara retaking the Throne again. What makes it clear, same book a little further in: [url=https://www.destinypedia.com/Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Refusal]Refusal[/url]
