After The Queen and her followers left the Awoken homeland, the [[Distributary]], she created the Dreaming City as her own personal realm. There, she and other Awoken could reside in peace. Uldren Sov desired to bring the Queen a gift and returned with an [[Ahamkara]] named Riven, who would stay in the City for the rest of her life.
