The Distributary Awoken were immortal: they did not age, though could die from trauma. Initially, they lived a simple life, eating of the fruit of the forest and hunting animals with [[Combat Bow|bows]].

It was initally assumed that [[Alis Li]], the ship's captain, was the first to awaken, to shape the world and to awake the others; Mara Sov kept her primogeniture in secret even from Alis Li, while manipulating the Awoken politics from behind. The nine verdicts established by a grand council defined the new's civilization identity, ethics and politics; captain Alis Li was elected the first Queen. The verdicts allowed the Awoken to procreate and bear new children, as immortal as they were, and encouraged the research and development of "good technology" salvaged from the Yang Liwei, | It was initally assumed that [[Alis Li]], the ship's captain, was the first to awaken, to shape the world and to awake the others; Mara Sov kept her primogeniture in secret even from Alis Li, while manipulating the Awoken politics from behind.

An Eccaleist preacher [[Diasyrm]] instigated the Theodicy War by accusing the Queen Alis Li of deicide, or the killing of gods; she explained that the Queen could have made the Awoken truly immortal, free of want or suffering, but betrayed her people by creating them mortal<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Fideicide I|Fideicide I]]''</ref>.
