The City

Planet:	Earth

The 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.^[1]^[2] The City was slowly rebuilt after the Collapse^[3], 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.^[4] 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.^[3] They have defended the City for centuries, but this defense cannot last indefinitely.^[5]

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.^[1] 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.^[6]

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.^[7]

Core District - the City's central area, directly beneath the Traveler. The Hall of Consensus is located here.^[7]
Military District - the location of the Future War Cult clubhouse.^[7]
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.
