'''The Maraid''' is a book written by the Primarchs of the [[Reef]] [[Cryptarch|Cryptarchy]], detailing the history of the [[Awoken]] during the reign of [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]]. Only parts of it are available; the tenth chapter of Book VII describes the Queen's intervention initiating the [[Reef Wars]]. Book VIII describes the Reef Wars in its entirety. Book IX is mentioned, but not described. However, its mentioning of the [[Queenbreakers]] implies that it describes the Wolf rebellion. The Maraid is available as a rare [[artifact]] for [[Hunter]]s, which generates [[Orb of Light|Orbs of Light]] for [[Void]] grenade kills. | '''The Maraid''' is a book written by the Primarchs of the [[Reef]] [[Cryptarch|Cryptarchy]], detailing the history of the [[Awoken]] during the reign of [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]].

The transmission was broadcasted on all [[Fallen]] frequencies. Lacking, at the time, the ability to crack Fallen encryptions, the [[Uldren Sov|Master of Crows]] could discern only that the Fallen Houses were all talking to each other. That was a thing that had never happened before. | The transmission was broadcasted on all [[Fallen]] frequencies.

What Peekis' assault lacked in finesse it made up for in sheer numbers and desperation. Irxis' ketches were pinned against Eos, and the two sides engaged in the bloody, bitter battle known as the Eos Clash, which left Irxis dead and both fleets nearly decimated. In the aftermath, the Crows salvaged one Orbiks servitor, [[Mecher Orbiks-11]], believed to be the last of its programming. | What Peekis' assault lacked in finesse it made up for in sheer numbers and desperation.

After a string of defeats—at Amethyst, at Hygiea, arguably at Iris—Prince Uldren's Crows finally made headway against the Wolves' encryption. They quickly discovered a seemingly unimportant piece of information: the House of Wolves had incorrectly calculated the eccentricity of the asteroid Bamberga. | After a string of defeats—at Amethyst, at Hygiea, arguably at Iris—Prince Uldren's Crows finally made headway against the Wolves' encryption.

Under Skolas' vassal Pirsis, called Pallas-Bane, the Wolves amassed the largest Wolf fleet that had been seen since the Scatter.

Finally, Beltrik, the Veiled left the Hildians and massed his fleet at Fortuna, to replenish his ketches' Ether from the organic compounds found on the asteroid's surface. His ships landed on Fortuna one at a time, the rest forming a defensive screen around its surface. He believed that Paladin Zire would attack the screen and destroy her fleet against the shield wall. | Finally, Beltrik, the Veiled left the Hildians and massed his fleet at Fortuna, to replenish his ketches' Ether from the organic compounds found on the asteroid's surface.

In desperation, Skolas personally led an all-out assault on the military fortress of Cybele. Little did he know that the Queen knew of his plans, thanks to the word of Variks of the House of Judgment. No sooner had Skolas' ketches arrived at the asteroid than all four Armada Paladins—Abra Zire, Kamala Rior, Leona Bryl and Hallam Fen—caught him in a pincer movement. Kaliks-12, the High Servitor of Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed, tried to escape, but Abra Zire chased it down. | In desperation, Skolas personally led an all-out assault on the military fortress of Cybele.

Variks of the House of Judgment declared Queen Mara Sov the new Kell of Wolves, and advised those captured at Cybele to serve her.
