===The Taken War and Aftermath===
{{Quote|Regent-Commander Petra Venj, if you take the Queenship, I will take my fleet and leave.|Rior}}
After the [[Battle of Saturn]], Paladin Rior sent an encoded message to [[Petra Venj]] on [[Saturn]]'s thirteenth moon, Telesto, where a cloud of [[Harbinger]]-matter had collated. Included in the report was a list of Reef leadership killed in action; Paladin Rior advised Petra to withhold declaring their deaths until further information was gathered.<ref name="Telesto"/> As Petra's reign as Regent-Commander continued, Rior became opposed to her rule. After Paladin [[Leona Bryl]] requested that Petra officially take over as Queen,<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Prodigal_Armor#Prodigal_Cuirass_/_Plate_/_Robes|Prodigal Cuirass / Plate / Robes]]''</ref> Rior informed Petra that if she took the throne, Rior would have no choice but to take her fleet and leave the Reef.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Prodigal_Armor#Prodigal_Strides_/_Greaves_/_Steps|Prodigal Strides / Greaves / Steps]]''</ref>

===Reclaiming the Dreaming City===
{{Quote|The Awoken are Humanity's shield. We entered the Reef Wars to prevent a Fallen coup here on Earth. We met Oryx head-on and endured immeasurable sacrifice, all in the name of a shared future.|Rior's plea to the Guardians for aid}}
After the threat of the [[Scorn]] was dealt with and the traitorous Prince [[Uldren Sov]] was killed by Petra and [[The Guardian|The Young Wolf]], Rior and the rest of the Awoken learned that Queen Mara was indeed still alive after the Regent-Commander utilized the [[Oracle Engine]] in the [[Dreaming City]] to contact her. With this knowledge, Rior travelled under orders to [[The Last City]] to appeal for the aid of [[Guardian]]s in retaking the Dreaming City from the Taken, Hive, and Scorn that had infested it. Standing upon a railing in the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower's]] plaza, she noted that Commander [[Zavala]], [[Tess Everis]], and Master [[Rahool]], all Earthborn Awoken, were watching her, although the latter two were pretending not too. As she began to address the Guardians some payed attention to her, while others danced or played with a purple ball. However, as she spoke of the Awoken and how they had served as humanity's shield, first against the House of Wolves and then against Oryx, in the hope of a shared future with the Last City, the Guardians ceased their activities and gave her their full attention. Rior pleaded with them to aid the Awoken in their fight to reclaim the Dreaming City, which they could not do alone because of their depleted numbers, and promised weapons and knowledge for their help. She was shocked when Zavala answered by declaring that the Vanguard would stand with the Reef, and saw upon his face a genuine smile that offered an apology for not providing help sooner.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Abide the Return]]''</ref>
