Eao, another male Ahamkara, resided in a chamber known as Eao’s Nest before he learned the secrets of the Awoken and escaped the City, threatening to reveal them to the Warlocks of the Last City. Another wish-dragon, Azirim, was barred from entering the City but still visited the second solstice festival, massacred many Awoken by beguiling them into leaping from the cliffs. While Riven was instrumental in the creation of the Dreaming City, she was not the only Ahamkara who visited the Dreaming City. Uldren Sov desired to bring the Queen a gift and returned with an Ahamkara named Riven, who would stay in the City for the rest of her life. There, she and other Awoken could reside in peace. The City is named after a group of unknown entities known as the Dreaming, who are connected in some way with the will of the Awoken people as a whole.Īfter The Queen and her followers left the Awoken homeland, the Distributary, she created the Dreaming City as her own personal realm. The ring is a portal that controls access to the Dreaming City from the Tangled Shore, and utilizes some form of cloaking technology to seal the Dreaming City off from the outside world. The entire city is a closed ecosystem, with water being recycled by hydro capture systems within the bedrock.Ī massive ring-shaped structure can be seen in the sky of the Dreaming City, along with what appears to be a black hole directly overhead. Its upper surface contains a "silver sea", water from which continually spills off the edge of the disk and is reclaimed by a stabilization ring that also holds the City in place. The Dreaming City is built upon a flat disk, constructed from the remains of at least one unknown rocky celestial body. The Dreaming City was built by Mara Sov and Techneun Illyn, the Coven Mother this artificial world was nothing but bare rocks when they started. At one point, Prince Uldren Sov brought Mara a baby Ahamkara named Riven whose assistance was proven essential in the City's construction with its wish-magic. It was created by Mara Sov after her departure from the Distributary as her personal realm. The Dreaming City is the Reefborn Awoken's most significant stronghold. Guardians must destroy the source of this corruption, but this merely resets the city to the beginning, along with the Awoken trapped there. The Dreaming City is trapped in a three-week cycle, where Taken corruption spreads unabated. As of Forsaken, these Taken served the Taken Ahamkara, Riven.Ĭurrently, the City is trapped under a curse laid down by Riven, who acted upon the final, unspoken wish of her killers.

When Oryx killed the Awoken Queen, he became aware of the city and dispatched his Taken there. The Dreaming City was evacuated prior to the invasion of Oryx. One of several secret cities constructed by the Awoken around the Reef, the Dreaming City was their most prized accomplishment, made to emulate and preserve the society brought with the Awoken from the Distributary. It is located within The Reef and is accessible after completing the Forsaken campaign.

The area serves as a major endgame destination and features a raid in the city's core. The Dreaming City is a location featured in Destiny 2: Forsaken.
