'''Sjur Eido''' was the first [[Queen's Wrath]] and [[Mara Sov]]'s lover. She was killed during the [[Reef Wars]] and succeeded as Queen's Wrath by [[Petra Venj]].

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]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent III|Imponent III]]''</ref> During the war, she slew one of the 891.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Fideicide II|Fideicide II]]''</ref> When the Diasyrm vanished at the end of the Theodicy War, Sjur suspected she had been murdered in secret by Mara Sov, and stormed into a court of the [[Gensym Scribes]] demanding to avenge her. To avoid a second Theodicy War, the Scribes lent their resources to her mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent_I|Imponent I]]''</ref>

Alis Li abdicated the throne and was replaced by [[Nguya Pin]]. When, much later, Queen Pin unexpectedly converted to Eccaleism at the behest of an anonymous masked woman, Sjur entered her court suspecting Mara's involvement. She deduced which of Pin's courtiers was Mara in disguise, but confronting her, found herself entranced by Mara's beauty and could not bring herself to kill her. Therefore, to fulfil her vendetta, she challenges Mara to a "duel to the agony" against her most beloved companion.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent II|Imponent II]]''</ref> Mara summoned [[Uldren Sov]] to fight on her behalf.  

Uldren and Sjur agreed to three duels: once with knives, once with guns, and once with fighter aircraft. The first ended in a draw, the second went to Sjur, and the third went to Uldren. With the duel to the agony inconclusive, Sjur submitted her fate to Mara Sov, who bade Sjur join her Eccaleist quest to the stars.<ref name="I3"/><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent IV|Imponent IV]]''</ref>

Over the next decades, Sjur became Mara's closest companion and emissary.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent V|Imponent V]]''</ref> When Mara and her faction departed Distributary by wormhole ship, Sjur served as Mara's sensor officer.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Palingenesis I|Palingenesis I]]''</ref>

When the Awoken, newly settled in the [[Reef]], learned that humanity still existed on [[Earth]], a schism developed between those who stayed loyal to Mara Sov and those who wanted to bring their resources to help Earth. Sjur reported on the situation to Mara, as well as a premonition of her own death when the [[Fallen]] inevitably tracked the Earth-altruists back to the Reef. By then, she had already established herself as Mara's bodyguard.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Marasenna|Marasenna]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Revanche III|Revanche III]]''</ref> When the schism turned violent, Sjur was separated from Mara and exchanged fire with several of the mutineers. In the end, Mara commanded for the mutineers to be left peacefully alone.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of_the Reef#Revanche IV|Revanche IV]]''</ref>  As the Earthborn Awoken began assisting the struggling human remnants, Sjur brought an analysis of their efforts to Mara.

Afterwards, Mara was proclaimed Queen. A Fallen [[Ketch]] arrived less than an hour later, having tracked the Earthborn Awoken to their source. Though Awoken weaponry destroyed the Ketch instantly, a fleet of [[Skiff]]s had already deployed and began raiding. Sjur, fighting in an armored combat shell, killed the commanding [[Baron]] and destroyed his [[Walker]] with a demolition charge, knowing that she would also die in the resulting explosion. However, the blast threw her clear completely unharmed -- the result of Mara's unconscious and burgeoning paracausal abilities.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Revanche V|Revanche V]]''</ref>  

Mara and Sjur eventually drifted apart (though they remained on good terms), as a result of both Mara's incipient apotheosis and her desire to see Sjur achieve her own fullest potential.<ref name = "Telic II">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Telic II|Telic II]]''</ref>  

As the Awoken civilization prospered, Sjur became Queen's Wrath. Her skill with a bow was legendary. She was the only Awoken to survive an [[Aphelion]] attack and hunted down many traitorous Ahamkara, including [[Eao]], who betrayed the Awoken's secret origins to [[Warlock]]s who were also eliminated by the Awoken.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[List of Shuro Chi quotes|"This chamber was refashioned in honor of Sjur Eido, the first Queen's Wrath, when she was found dead. She was a fearsome warrior in her own right - the only Awoken to ever survive an Aphelion attack, and a skilled hunter of traitorous Ahamkara."]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[List of Shuro Chi quotes|"Ah... This is where Eao liked to rest, before Sjur hunted him down and skewered him for his deceit. One of your Warlocks bartered for his corpse and traded away his bones. Another mistake. You must never scatter the bones."]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[List of Shuro Chi quotes|"This little chamber was once a home for an Ahamkara who betrayed the Awoken. He crept out of the Dreaming City and went to whisper in the ears of Warlocks who wondered who we were - and so we had to kill him. The Warlocks, too."]]''</ref> She also hunted [[Huginn]] and [[Muninn]] during the [[Great Ahamkara Hunt]].<ref>'''Bungie (11/28/2023)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - Item Description: [[Lethophobia#Lore|Lethophobia]]''</ref>

At some point, she introduced a [[Vandal]], [[Mithrax, the Forsaken|Mithrax]], to the Dreaming City.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Dreaming City|The Dreaming City]]: [[Lore:The Dreaming City#Misraaks|Misraaks]]''</ref>  She was so renowned even the Fallen respected her, who called her Siyuriks pak Variisis ("Sjur the Unrelenting").<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Shuro Chi]]: [[List of Shuro Chi quotes|"This chamber was built for one of our most skilled archers. Her name was Sjur, and she was beloved by all of us— even by the Eliksni. They called her "Siyuriks pak Variisis"— Sjur the Unyielding."]]''</ref>

As part of a quest to understand herself, Mara went to Sjur to confess. At the time, Sjur was making a list of incredibly stupid and fatal bounties for Guardians to undertake. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Tyrannocide II|Tyrannocide II]]''</ref> 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 in the Distributary and was therefore responsible for all the mortal suffering the Awoken had ever experienced past that point. Sjur brushed off Mara's concerns, believing that her actions were intended for the greater good, and kissed her before accusing her of confessing only to hide some greater secret. Mara explained that she planned to become a god, but Sjur found her explanation incomprehensible and moved on to other matters.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef|The Awoken of the Reef]]: [[Lore:The Awoken of the Reef#Tyrannocide III|Tyrannocide III]]''</ref>

Sjur died during the [[Reef Wars]], betrayed and assassinated by an unknown party, her bow stolen.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Wish-Ender#Lore|Wish-Ender]]''</ref> A [[strange coin]] was left on her corpse as weregild.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - Item Description: [[Oathkeeper#Lore|Oathkeeper]]''</ref> When Mara and her [[Techeuns]] built [[Eleusinia]], Mara carved a statue for Sjur there,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:The Dreaming City|The Dreaming City]]: [[Lore:The Dreaming City#Throne|Throne]]''</ref> while her remains were buried in a tomb on the [[Tangled Shore]] that became known as [[Sjursrest]]. [[Petra Venj]] succeeded Sjur as Queen's Wrath.

Sjur's identity somehow anchored itself to her statue in Mara's throne world.{{Citation needed}} Through Eleusinia, she may return to life in the future -- a possibility Sjur herself once dreamed about.<ref name = "Sleepless"/>
