For a long time after the Collapse, humanity had been divided into various petty fiefdoms, with Guardians blessed with the Traveler's Light becoming petty kings or bandits that preyed on the weak. However, following the foundation of the Iron Lords, humanity began to unite. Underneath the Traveler, with the guidance of the first [[Speaker]], the Last City began to take root. It started as a small number of tents, but as more Guardians and humans began to arrive in the area, the City began to grow, the tents turning into fully-fledged buildings and exploding in size as population increased. Even throughout various alien attacks such as Fallen raids, the City grew, until it reached its maximum extent and the Guardians, including [[Zavala]], [[Ikora Rey]], and [[Shaxx]] helped to build the city's walls.
At some point during the City's existence, the various factions and groups in the city fought one another for dominance in a conflict that nearly tore the city apart. However, the conflict was ended when the Guardians stepped in and put an end to the fighting. The end of the Faction Wars saw the creation of the current City government, with the civilian [[Consensus]], the Guardian [[Vanguard]], and the Speaker serving as the city's leaders.
Besides the Faction Wars, the City had been involved in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Six Fronts]], when four orders of Titans had to defend the walls against six [[Fallen|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.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Places/The_City#The_City_Age|The City Age]]''</ref>
