Ahamkara: Difference between revisions

The Ahamkara first appeared in the Sol System following the Traveler's arrival; several sources describe them as being part of the "neolife" that was generated by the Traveler's actions, but their exact origins are unclear. [[Cayde's Treasure Island Book]] indicates they were studied by [[Clovis Bray]] during the Golden Age; the Awoken claim they were first to discover the Ahamkara after the Collapse, well before they ever came to

The first Ahamkara to be found by the Awoken was a young [[Riven]], brought to the Queen by her brother, in search of a power that would allow them to build an Awoken city in the Reef.<ref name = "Telic II">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Telic II]]''</ref> Riven's wish-granting abilities, along with those of other Ahamkara, played an integral role in the construction of the Dreaming City.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Gauntlets of the Great Hunt]]''</ref> While most of the Ahamkara preferred the worlds of the inner system, they passed freely through the Dreaming City, coexisting with the Awoken.
