Hey I was wondering if you have any knowledge on techeuns and how they use their abilities and I wanna compare it to strand and maybe make another theory post. Please take your time and I hope you have a happy holidays!

Thank you!

Not much info on how specifically they use their abilities. Whenever we see them doing anything, they just kinda stand around. I presume most of it is done entirely telepathically. They seem to have some innate powers, but can be augmented with gems.

Petra has some insight into the training because she initially wanted to become a Techeun, but it was hard for her. She shows that telepathic connection is crucial, as well as the ability to manipulate things inside of dreams.

Speaking of manipulating things, one of the Techeun powers is creating illusions:

Working with the Techeuns and the Crows, they created an enormous visual illusion of the Harbingers

Speaking of Harbingers, they are... a special type of a weapon that is also somewhat a living creature, sort of. Techeuns bond with them and have to learn how to communicate and control them. They are all gone now, except one, whose location is only known to Mara. Some lore about them from Shuro Chi's Pilgrimages in the Dreaming City. This is them at Battle of Saturn:

Techeuns can also travel and explore the Ascendant Plane and can utilise the Ley Lines. This is helped with the use of queensfoil:

"Are you trying to brew queensfoil?" Petra laughed.

"I was," Sjari replied, "but I… got lost."

"You're lucky I came," Petra chided. "Too much of that stuff, and you'll leave your mind in the Ascendant Plane."

"We need to find the Ley Lines," Sjari said, as if suddenly recalling her original purpose. "We need to find Queen Mara."

"You're right." Petra was suddenly somber. "We do. Queensfoil is a good idea. Keep at it."

More about that here from the perspective of a Techeun. And more. And even more! A lot of information is also on the full seasonal set from Season of the Lost which has a lot of various details about Techeun powers, the Ascendant Plane and the Ley Lines.

They also have some sort of implants and are also capable of some really cool things in the Ascendant Plane:

His eyes drift to another conquest: crystalline implants torn from the forehead of an Awoken Techeun. He hunted her through the Ley Lines for three days, tracking her by the stench of her fear. When he found her, she brought the Ascendant Plane down on him. He did not fall for this trick twice.

And of course, I think most relevant to strand would be the Ley Lines. We didn't get any full and clear explanation about what they are, however:

Crow: Are Ley Lines natural phenomena, or something the Awoken created?

Mara: They're naturally occurring paracausal forces that predate the Awoken. The only entities that might know their true origins and makeup are the Nine. But I don't think they're telling.

Them being a naturally occurring paracausal force is interesting. Ley Lines may be some form of interaction with strand that's known to the Awoken.

Techeuns also mostly seem to be using their powers telepathically, in dreams, meditations and trances. Once they enter that other state, they can then manipulate and shape things as they wish which is helpful for traversing the Ascendant Plane and Ley Lines. I do really wonder if strand will somehow play into this.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL ANTI TWITTER ON HERE BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

I ordered the Techeun hoodie from bungie store at the end of season of the lost. I got three emails about it after I got the receipt - one to say that production was on schedule, one to say the hoodie would be leaving the production factory at the end of July, and one to say it would be shipping at the end of August.

I heard nothing more after that. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, seeing as according to their website COVID is still causing shipping problems, but after waiting two months past the supposed delivery timeframe I got in touch with customer support.

They are telling me that they now can't send me the hoodie, because its out of stock. They can only refund it. And they didn't explain anything at all.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE retweet my twitter thread and tag Bungie and the bungie store in the comments. I want an actual explanation from a real live person about what the hell happened for my order to be completely skipped over. As an autistic person whose special interest is the Dreaming City and all things Awoken, this has absolutely broken my heart.
