It was initally assumed that [[Alis Li]], the ship's captain, was the first to awaken, to shape the world and to awake the others; Mara Sov kept her primogeniture in secret even from Alis Li, while manipulating the Awoken politics from behind. The nine verdicts established by a grand council defined the new's civilization identity, ethics and politics; captain Alis Li was elected the first Queen.

Philosophical disputes gave rise to two major movements, forest-dwelling [[Eccaleists]] and city-dwelling [[Sanguine]]; while the Eccaleist believed that Awoken owed a debt to the cosmos and have to resolve the primordial conflict that created their world, the Sanguine | Philosophical disputes gave rise to two major movements, forest-dwelling [[Eccaleists]] and city-dwelling [[Sanguine]]; while the Eccaleist believed that Awoken owed a debt to the cosmos and have to resolve the primordial conflict that created their world, the Sanguine stated that their immortality is a reward from cosmic powers and they do not owe anything to anybody. An Eccaleist preacher [[Diasyrm]] instigated the Theodicy War by accusing the Queen Alis Li of deicide, or the killing of gods; she explained that the Queen could have made the Awoken truly immortal, free of want or suffering, but betrayed her people by creating them mortal<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Fideicide I|Fideicide I]]''</ref>. Many Awoken perished over years of bloodshed; in the end, the peace was signed on Mara Sov's terms. Diasyrm mysteriously vanished and some time later Queen Alis Li abdicated, surrending her powers. Queen Alis' successors embraced the Eccaleist philosophy, supporing the massive space exploration program orchestrated by Mara Sov. The succession of these Queens included [[Nguya Pin]] and [[Devna Tel]]<ref name="imponent-v">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent V|Imponent V]]''</ref>. | ||
At some time, a scholarly order of [[Gensym Scribes]] rose to power; they conspired to support [[Sjur Eido]], a Paladin and hero of the Theodicy War, in her intent to kill Mara Sov for alleged murder of [[Diasyrm]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent I|Imponent I]]''</ref>. Sjur Eido lost a duel to Mara Sov's brother [[Uldren Sov]] and became Mara Sov's fervent supporter, while Mara Sov used the failed conspiracy to subjugate the Gensym Scribes and accelerate the space program<ref name="imponent-v"/>. Eventually, Mara Sov completed her long-running game by leading an exodus of tens of thousands of Eccaleist Awoken into space, leaving the Distributary behind<ref name="katabasis"/>. | At some time, a scholarly order of [[Gensym Scribes]] rose to power; they conspired to support [[Sjur Eido]], a Paladin and hero of the Theodicy War, in her intent to kill Mara Sov for alleged murder of [[Diasyrm]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Marasenna#Imponent I|Imponent I]]''</ref>.
