The [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] are generally not subject to the Anthem Anatheme, as their desires are aligned almost perfectly with those of their [[Mara Sov|Queen]], and the Queen herself has very little desire to change reality for her own purposes. It was this alignment which allowed the Ahamkara [[Riven]] to coexist with the Awoken in relative peace for so long, although Prince [[Uldren Sov]] was prohibited from interacting with Riven because his desires for himself were less attuned to his reality.<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#Telic II|Telic II]]''</ref> | The [[Awoken]] of the [[Reef]] are generally not subject to the Anthem Anatheme, as their desires are aligned almost perfectly with those of their [[Mara Sov|Queen]], and the Queen herself has very little desire to change reality for her own purposes.

The Cabal were also aware of the Ahamkara and the Anthem Anatheme before coming to the Sol System, with Calus having possessed an Ahamkara bone that originated from the extinct civilization known as the [[Harmony]].<ref>'''[[Beloved (lore)|Beloved]]''', "[[Beloved_(lore)#I_am_a_few_days_older.|I am a few days older.]]", ''"An ancient bone retrieved from the debris around a once-radiant black hole.
