In the aftermath of the Wolf Rebellion, Mara Sov forged a secret alliance with the [[human]] Hunter [[Eris Morn]], [[Earth]]'s most knowledgeable expert on the [[Hive]] after the death of [[Toland, the Shattered]]. The immediate reason for this alliance was the threat of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and his armies of Hive searching for vengeance against Guardians.<ref name="gf-queen">'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Queen_2|Ghost Fragment: The Queen 2]]''</ref> To rally the Awoken against this inescapable invasion, Eris agreed to deploy her vast expertise of the [[Hive]]'s technology and magic that she learned whilst on the [[Moon]].

The Awoken built the [[Blind Well]], an energy borehole in the fabric of space and time drilled by Riven and aided by Techeuns [[Lissyl]] and [[Sedia]], in a great cathedral on the eastern shore of the Dreaming City. The gate at the bottom of the Blind Well was built by [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] inside in a hall they named "The Confluence". Illyn used copious [[Tincture of Queensfoil|tinctures of Queensfoil]] to reach the Ascendant Realm and began construction from the other side, sorting the threads of reality on a vast metaphysical loom. Thus, Mara, Riven and the Techeuns built an isolated pocket universe and named it Eleusinia; Mara's third throne after the Distributary and Vesta. In the ascendant halls of Eleusinia, Mara carved a statue for [[Sjur Eido]] after her death during the Reef Wars. The Blind Well would be used as a cross-world tunnel between the Solar System and Eleusinia and required a continuous multi-week charge of paracausal energies for operation.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Dreaming City#Throne|Throne]]</ref> | The Awoken built the [[Blind Well]], an energy borehole in the fabric of space and time drilled by Riven and aided by Techeuns [[Lissyl]] and [[Sedia]], in a great cathedral on the eastern shore of the Dreaming City.
