It is said the Awoken were born in the [[Collapse]], descended from those humans who tried to flee its wrath. Something happened to them out on the edge of the deep Black, and they were forever changed. Today many Awoken live in [[the Reef]], aloof and mysterious, but others returned to [[Earth]], where their descendants now fight for the [[City]]. Earthborn Awoken sometimes venture out to the Reef, hoping to learn its secrets—but find no special welcome from the reclusive [[Queen of the Reef|Queen]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Guardian#Awoken|Awoken]]''</ref> | It is said the Awoken were born in the [[Collapse]], descended from those humans who tried to flee its wrath.

Beyond physical appearances, the Awoken seem to possess powers and abilities beyond their human ancestors. The [[Techeun]]s are a particularly notable example, though ordinary Awoken can also experience visions in the form of dreams.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#Skolas: Defeated]]''</ref> | Beyond physical appearances, the Awoken seem to possess powers and abilities beyond their human ancestors.

Striking suddenly, the Awoken fleet destroyed [[Ceres]] and scattered the Wolves across the Reef, beginning a several-year-long campaign that whittled the Fallen's numbers and nobility to insignificance. After [[Variks]], a Wolf scribe, defected over to the Queen's side, the remaining Wolves were defeated and [[Skolas]] their leader imprisoned. | Striking suddenly, the Awoken fleet destroyed [[Ceres]] and scattered the Wolves across the Reef, beginning a several-year-long campaign that whittled the Fallen's numbers and nobility to insignificance.

The Queen later gifted Skolas to her allies, the [[Nine]], for their role in defeating the Fallen but they released the Wolf Kell, beginning the Wolf Rebellion and forced the Reef to open itself to [[Guardian]] access. | The Queen later gifted Skolas to her allies, the [[Nine]], for their role in defeating the Fallen but they released the Wolf Kell, beginning the Wolf Rebellion and forced the Reef to open itself to [[Guardian]] access.{{citation needed}} | ||

The Awoken were among the first to respond to Oryx's invasion. Attacking his fleet out around [[Saturn]], the Queen and her Witches sacrificed themselves to fire the [[Harbinger]]s, mysterious weapons or entities of incredible power, at the [[Hive]] [[Dreadnaught]]. Despite destroying a good portion of Oryx's fleet there were no marks made upon the flagship, and shortly thereafter Oryx ended the battle with a single blow from his cannon. | The Awoken were among the first to respond to Oryx's invasion.

Despite a significant loss of Reef leadership, including the Queen and a missing Prince, the Reef aided the City and its Guardians in destroying Oryx's [[Taken]]. Setting bounties upon several lieutenants the Reef oversaw their extermination and eventual rooting out of the Taken [[Blight]]s in conjunction with the [[Vanguard]]. During this conflict Petra Venj, Acting Regent-Commander, continued to search for the missing Queen and preventing a resurging House of Wolves from regrouping on Mars. With the aid of Variks and the Guardians the nascent Wolf house was scattered again. | Despite a significant loss of Reef leadership, including the Queen and a missing Prince, the Reef aided the City and its Guardians in destroying Oryx's [[Taken]].
