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 independent from the City.[1][2][4] Outsiders, including Earth-born Awoken, are considered trespassers and if necessary will be expelled by lethal force.[3] This has changed after the rebellion of the House of Wolves, as Guardians are now welcomed into the Reef to combat the Fallen menace.[5]

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.[6] The current Queen allied with the Nine in a successful war against the Fallen House of Wolves.[7] 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 lived alongside the Awoken until their rebellion.[6][7] In the aftermath of the uprising, the Queen opened the Reef up to the Guardians.[8]

Trivia

  • On Earth, shipwrecks often form artificial reefs, which then become home to a wide variety of life. A number of videos and pieces of concept art indicate that the same process is occurring within the debris field of the Reef[1][2].
