The reveal for the dreaming city shows the queens techuns are now taken. We are finally getting more taken lore. Also, we will see taken ogres more often. What do you guys think the implications of taken awoken could be?
Edit: I hope the big hive wizard they showed isn’t savathun. It is a nice character model, but it’s too soon for a big bad like her.

It’s not “Taken Awoken”. It’s just a Techeun corrupted with Taken energy. There was Grimoire back in D1 about the Techeun’s being a part of an R&D experiment to understand Taken energy better. Maybe this is one of the test subjects who’s escaped and ran to the Dreaming City for some reason? Maybe whoever’s commanding the Taken lead them there.

Something that always bothered me about the Awoken, they’re basically “half borns” touched by the darkness but saved by the light at the last second. I always wondered if the Awoken were what the darkness was trying to accomplish; it’s own form of “warrior” like how we are with the light.

1 ReplyI highly doubt we kill Savathun this expansion, IMO at soonest that'll be the next one. However, I am certain either we see her this expansion, or one of her higher ranking peoples

5 RepliesMaybe we are wrong and maybe savathun is on our side, and a vendor. Thus them just showing it. Would be interesting to see a friendly hive 🤔

3 RepliesThat the awoken is taken has huge repercussions in the destiny world. Does that mean that savathun can take humans? The population could just be taken and we would lose. So much lore in this new expansion I am so exited about.
-
Really bungie never told us there would be new lore,,,,, hint hint no sh*t they only told us in every reveal trailer so far
-
the taken lore was suppose to be in there since TTK in d1.. oh wait bungie fired rehired fired then the guy quit, so no full detailed correct lore was givin then until now, where theyll make crap up just to keep the Pbase entertained
-
13 RepliesWe also have to remember that Savathun isn't as powerful as Oryx was, at least according to the Books of Sorrow. Savathun was all about cunning and trickery.
-
You DO understand that they are retconning lore right? This isn't them giving you new lore as much as it will be them adjusting all the old lore to match the upcoming narrative, which won't be a good one
-
I would prepare for the worst. D2 Y1 writers aren't going anywhere.

9 RepliesSeriously, the Taken can -blam!- right off. They're the spammiest, cheesiest -blam!-ing enemies in video game history, and it got old two months into The Taken King.
-
3 RepliesIt could be a deathsinger or something similar, or maybe something like Omnigul. They wouldn’t show Savathun yet.

3 RepliesCrossing my fingers for more Calus after Forsaken. (Not that Forsaken won’t be amazing)

10 RepliesEdited by Seth, Knower of Things: 8/8/2018 7:39:50 PMI think that wizard was savathun, but I’m hoping she’s not the raid boss and the “immense creature” Petra referred to was an Ahamkara. I’m hoping we’ll spend the annual pass content to chase her down and kill her.
-
I hope it’s not Savathun and just ends up being a deathsinger doing abit of her bidding. That wizard looks too weak and a bit small to be Savathun 🤔
-
Maybe a raid boss but not savauthan and tbh I don't think she has control of the taken just from what happened in the whisper mission I don't think she is the taken leader possibly something to do with them but not their leader I have a theory about that and I hope to god im right
-
ill wait for byf and myelin to make their vids on it
-
Agreed
-
It’s another enemy to kill. I’ll put bullets in their face and that’s the extent that it matters to me.
-
5 RepliesI doubt that’s Savathûn, considering how massive Oryx was. Definitely a prominent figure though, considering the Knights that are guarding her.
-
4 RepliesI'm just hoping my waif- I mean, the Queen isn't Taken too. I'm also certain that the Wizard shown in there is related to Rahool. I mean, the resemblance is uncanny!
-
so hear me out the hive wizard is a spawn of savathun and about the awoken they have been wavering between light and dark for a long time
-
You say that, and I think you are right because revealing Savathun would help sales and they didn't, but TTK came out around this time in D1, so I think the timing would be no issue.
