{{Quote|All of the after-action reports I've shown you about the Taken War, the calm state of the system... we have this Guardian to thank. I've attached more details, if you want to read evaluations from the Vanguard. Just skim Cayde's. He's... not very biased, here.|Grimoire description}}

== Beginning - ''Destiny''==

Centuries after the collapse, a stray [[Ghost]] wandering the ruins outside the [[Cosmodrome]], searching for a Guardian before finally finding one among the ancient remains, and revives him/her. Ghost leads the Guardian out of the Cosmodrome and back to [[The Last City]] after finding a [[ship]], and introduces them to the people of the [[Tower]]. The Guardian returns to the Cosmodrome in order to find a [[Warp Drive]] which will allow him/her to travel the solar system faster ; after slaying an [[Archon]] of the [[House of Devils]] to retrieve the Warp Drive, the Guardian gains an audience with the [[Speaker]], who confides in them that the Darkness is returning, and that the Guardian must help protect the City any way they can.

[[Oryx]], the father of Crota, has come with his Hive fleet to avenge his fallen son. Using his terrible power, Oryx creates a new army called the [[Taken]], and lays siege to the entire solar system.  The [[Awoken]] fleet lead by Queen Mara Sov attempt to stop him before he can enter the Inner System, but they are utterly destroyed. He then starts Taking the Cabal stationed on [[Phobos]] who send out a distress signal, which catches the Vanguard's attention. Responding to the distress signal, the player is sent to investigate. Upon seeing the devastation, the player is confronted by a vision of Oryx, who tells the player that he is there to pay back humanity for his son's death. Realizing the threat that laid before them, [[Cayde-6]] crafts a plan with the player to sneak aboard Oryx's [[Dreadnaught]]. Though they are successful, they cannot enter Oryx's inner sanctum until the player becomes [[Ascendant Hive|Ascendant]]; Eris helps the player recover the last fragments of Crota's Soul, allowing entry into Oryx's chambers, where they duel. Though Oryx's physical form was defeated, he retreated even further into the ship, recovering his strength. Meanwhile, the Guardians work towards [[Taken War|pushing the Taken out of the system]]. Once Oryx's lieutenants, the [[Court of Oryx]], have been defeated the Guardians push deeper into the Dreadnaught to seek out Oryx within his [[Ascendant realm]]. There, he confronted the Fireteam of Guardians sent to kill him once and for all with his full might, even pulling them into a Darkness dimension. But in the end, using Light [[Warpriest|stolen]] [[Golgoroth|from]] [[Light-Eater Ogre|his]] [[Light-Eater Knight|pawns]], Oryx was slain permanently.

The Fallen [[House of Devils]], while looting ancient tombs from the [[Golden Age]], accidentally unearth a self replicating nano-technology plague known as [[SIVA]] within the depths of the Old Cosmodrome. This plague mutates the Devils into powerful machine gods which collapsed [[The Wall]] in Old Russia, prompting [[Lord Saladin]], the last of the [[Iron Lords]], to leave his post as the Handler of the [[Iron Banner]] and personally lead the Guardians in a final stand against the plague, raising a new generation of Iron Lords to guard the [[Last City]].
