Seeking a way to rebuild what was lost during the Collapse, they eventually found [[SIVA]]. Hoping it would be able to build ships and colonies, the Iron Lords pushed through the [[Cosmodrome]] despite [[Rasputin]]'s desperate attempts to sway them and even the loss of hundreds of Lords to a combination of aerial strikes, a [[Frame]] army, and SIVA constructs.<ref>'''https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''</ref> Ultimately, the venture would result in the loss of all save for [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Efrideet]]. The other Iron Lords sacrificed themselves to contain the biomechanical plague by sealing themselves within its replication chamber before it had time to escape.<ref>'''https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''</ref> The sacrifices of the most well-known Lords are honored at the [[Iron Temple]] atop [[Felwinter Peak]], and celebrated in the [[Iron Banner]] tournament. The names of their signature weapons are lent to various Iron Banner equipment. The second generation of the Lords, the [[Iron Wolves]], and their weapons are likewise honored by the Iron Banner.
