Concept art of The Reef.

The Reef is a debris field in orbit within the Asteroid belt in the Solar System.[1][2] It is considered by the City to straddle the boundary between the far edge of the Traveler's influence and the unabated darkness beyond the inner system.[3]

History

The massive hulks of dead Golden Age ships that make up the Reef mark the furthest point that people fleeing Earth and the inner system during the Collapse were able to reach; the Darkness ensured they made it no further.[3] The early Awoken either arose from or colonized the Reef at some point in the Dark Age, establishing a matriarchal society ruled by a Queen and completely indpendent from the City.[1][2][4] Outsiders, including Earth-born Awoken, are considered trespassers and if necessary will be expelled by lethal force.[3]

The Awoken of the Reef have long preferred to remain aloof from the affairs of the City, but are known to have dealings with the Nine.[5] The current Queen allied with the Nine in a successful war against the Fallen House of Wolves.[6] With their Kell dead, their Prime Servitor missing, and their Archon sealed within the Prison of Elders, the House of Wolves became vassals of the Queen and now live alongside the Awoken.[5][6]
