===The Golden Age=== | ===The Golden Age=== | ||
The [[Golden Age]] of [[human]]ity begins in the 21st century with the arrival of the [[Traveler]]. Over several centuries, humans colonized the [[Solar System]] and achieved massive scientific and technological advances. The Golden Age ends with the [[Collapse]], an event of apocalyptic proportions caused by the [[Darkness]], the ancient nemesis of the Traveler. Humanity survives thanks to the Traveler's sacrifice, but only barely. | The [[Golden Age]] of [[human]]ity begins in the 21st century with the arrival of the [[Traveler]].

The period following the Collapse, the [[Dark Age]] sees the rise of the [[Awoken]] and the return of the [[Exo]]. Most importantly, the very first [[Guardian]]s, then known as The Risen, are returned to life by the [[Ghost]]s, machines created by the [[Traveler]] with its last breath. Survivors of the Collapse gradually gather beneath the Traveler, seeking sanctuary in its aura of [[Light]]. Meanwhile, hostile aliens associated with the [[Darkness]] (the [[Fallen]], [[Hive]], [[Vex]], and [[Cabal]]) establish footholds in the Solar System and lay claim to the remnants of humanity's Golden Age. | The period following the Collapse, the [[Dark Age]] sees the rise of the [[Awoken]] and the return of the [[Exo]].

The [[City Age]] comprises the modern era of humanity, and is named for the founding of the [[Last City]] beneath the [[Traveler]]. The Risen emerge from the [[Faction Wars]] as the [[Guardian]]s, the defenders of the City, the Traveler, and the [[Light]].
