==Society== | |||
Reef society is matriarchal and ruled by a single Queen with absolute power. The current and only known Queen of the Reef is [[Mara Sov]]. Second to the Queen in power is her brother Prince [[Uldren Sov]], Master of Crows, who manages the Reef's intelligence network and serves as the Queen's chief advisor. | |||
The Queen commands the military forces of the Reef through seven [[Paladin]]s. The Royal Armada, consisting of the Reef's space fleet in addition to the [[Corsair]]s, who serve as scouts, and the [[Vestian Guard]], which patrols the Reef's borders, is led by four Paladins. The Royal Army, which encompasses the Reef's soldiers, battle stations, and military installations, is in the charge of two. The seventh Paladin directs the [[Queen's Guard]], which is dedicated to protecting the Queen from both direct threats to her person and indirect threats that endanger the Reef as a whole and therefore the Queen by extension.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#The Royal Awoken Guard|The Royal Awoken Guard]]''</ref> | |||
Other significant institutions include the [[Techeun]]s and the Reef [[Cryptarch|Cryptarchy]]. While the precise role of the Techeuns is unspecified, following the rebellion of the [[House of Wolves]], two Techeuns now advise the Queen and attend her in lieu of Fallen bodyguards.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost Fragment: The Reef 2|Ghost Fragment: The Reef 2]]''</ref> The Reef Cryptarchy's function is similar the Cryptarchy of the [[City]], but it follows a different philosophy: where the City's Cryptarchs seek to decrypt [[engram]]s to uncover secrets of the Golden Age and aid the [[Guardian]]s in the process, the Reef's Cryptarchs believe their purpose is to encrypt and safeguard civilization's informational infrastructure.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Master Ives, Cryptarch|Master Ives, Cryptarch]]''</ref> | |||
