Sjur Eido was one of the first-generation Awoken, one of the [[891]]. Politically an [[Eccaleists|Eccaleist]], she was originally one of Queen [[Alis Li]]'s Paladins, but was swayed by the [[Diasyrm]] and defected to her during the [[Theodicy War]].<ref name="I3">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] | Sjur Eido was one of the first-generation Awoken, one of the [[891]].

Alis Li abdicated the throne and was replaced by [[Nguya Pin]].

Sjur | In the privacy of space, Mara confessed to Sjur that she had been the first Awoken, and had denied them the chance to become gods when they first self-created on Distributary, and was therefore responsible for all the mortal suffering the Awoken had ever experienced past that point.
