Last City

The Last City is the final bastion of humanity. Located somewhere on Earth, the City was built and is located directly under the floating Traveler to take advantage of its protective shields. The City was slowly built after the Collapse, marking the end of the Dark Age and the beginning of the City Age; countless wars were fought to keep the peace, and from this era of strife rose the Guardians. Surrounding it is a massive wall built by the first Titans to assist in keeping out enemies. Along this wall is the Tower, the headquarters for the Guardians. They have defended the City for centuries, but this defense cannot last indefinitely.

Government
The City is inhabited by humans, Awoken and Exos, who worked together in the time following the Golden Age to build the city and its defenses. The City was once embroiled by a bitter war between the different factions of the City, until the Guardians stepped in and ended the violence. Now, it is ruled by a Consensus of the factions, with the Speaker as its head and the Vanguard taking on an advisory role.

Engagements
Besides the Faction Wars, the City had been embroiled in two major battles. The first was the Battle of Six Fronts, when four orders of Titans had to defend the walls against six enemy approaches. The second and far more devastating one, was the Battle of Twilight Gap. The full might of the Fallen Houses descended upon the City as countless Guardians fell, but were eventually routed from the City.

Districts
The City is divided into several districts, not all of which are known. Shuttles periodically transport passengers between the City's districts and the Tower.


 * The Core - the City's central area, directly beneath the Traveler. The Hall of Consensus is located here.
 * Core East
 * Core South
 * Military District - the location of the Future War Cult clubhouse.
 * District 125
 * City Perimeter - the land surrounding the City proper, just beyond its walls. Twilight Gap, a valley where the City's Guardians repelled a Fallen invasion force, is located here.

After Twilight Gap, the districts nearest the City walls were abandoned. Most of the Towers located on the wall were also abandoned for general use, though some such as Bannerfall were repurposed for the Crucible.

Trivia

 * The location of the City has been the source of much speculation. One theory, based on the movements of the Sun and the local geography, suggests that the City is located in Nepal. This would place the City in relatively close proximity to the Cosmodrome in Khazakstan, while benefitting from the natural defenses of the Himilaya mountains.
