The Guardians' origins are rooted in the very origins of the Last City itself, in the [[Dark Age]] that followed the [[Collapse]].<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> In the earliest days, when the survivors of the Collapse were gathering beneath the [[Traveler]] and groups like [[Takanome's Rangers]] were all that separated refugees elsewhere from certain death, the Guardians were known as The Risen. Having been granted the power to wield the [[Light]] by their [[Ghost]]s, The Risen lacked a common, unifying purpose, and took up roles as enforcers and bodyguards for the first [[Faction]]s of what would become the Last City. As the Factions feuded over their competing ideologies and competed for influence among the residents of the fledgling city under the Traveler, some of The Risen became disillusioned and abandoned their Factions, seeking a higher purpose. With tensions between the Factions already near the boiling point, this triggered the [[Faction Wars]], a violent conflict that only ended when The Risen ceased fighting each other in order to unite against a new enemy that threatened them all: the [[Fallen]]. In the end, the Fallen were repelled, the Factions' iron grip was broken, the city under the Traveler became the Last City with massive walls erected to protect it, and the Risen became known as the Guardians.<ref name="RA">'''Bungie (2014-12-10)''', ''Destiny: The Taken King, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls|Rezyl Azzir - Before These Walls]]''</ref> | The Guardians' origins are rooted in the very origins of the Last City itself, in the [[Dark Age]] that followed the [[Collapse]].<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> In the earliest days, when the survivors of the Collapse were gathering beneath the [[Traveler]] and groups like [[Takanome's Rangers]] were all that separated refugees elsewhere from certain death, the Guardians were known as The Risen.
