    Savathun has led the Vanguard to one last, desperate lead in hopes of entering the Traveler to defeat the Witness. Queen Mara Sov has made a deal with Riven of a Thousand Voices: we bring Riven their Ahamkara eggs, and our final wish may be granted.

    Finding these eggs will require Guardians to explore the forgotten depths of the Dreaming City. Find Riven’s Ahamkara eggs, uncover the Vex Sol Divisive’s plan, and carefully construct a final wish that can end this doomsday scenario.
