Yea but bungie said she is alive

The grimoire is actually the only in game indication that she is actually very much still alive. http://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/the-coven?highlight=Coven The queen and her coven the eve before the dreadnaught attack. They describe the dreadnaught attack as "greatest journey, a plan that [b]overcame death[/b] and spanned universe." The queens attack somehow was going to allow her to overcome death. http://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/the-aftermath?highlight=Aftermath The queens brother has survived and crash landed on Mars. He's trying to reach out to find her telepathically when he detects a faint hum of starlight. As the queen describes herself: "starlight was my mother" http://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/ghost-fragment-the-reef-4?highlight=Starlight And the most convincing, the last lines. As Prince Uldren has allowed himself to be captured by the fallen, to get close to their kell whom he intends to kill and assume command. "And the prince felt the little hum of starlight ripple through him. The one that let him know that she would be pleased with what he had done." The hum of starlight is the queen. Whatever her plan was, it worked and she survived the attack in some other realm. She can only seem to communicate through the hum of starlight with her brother, assuring him she is still there. That's the lore explanation. The other is bungie said she is alive. https://www.google.com/amp/s/gamerant.com/destiny-queen-reef-dead/amp/
