This is a detailed timeline of the history of the Destiny universe. Note that nearly all events are not attached to specific dates; they may not be in exact chronological order, and adjacent events in the list may be separated by spans of only a few days or several centuries.
Note that there are infinite number of timelines with their own continuities, but this page focuses on the primary story from start to current. So Information from the Dark Future Lorebook are not present.
The Ancient Past
First Conflict of Light and Darkness
- Main article: Lore:Unveiling
Year | Date | Event | Information |
---|---|---|---|
2 primordial entities, known respectively as the Gardener and the Winnower, are assigned specific roles, with the Gardener being described as the one who seeds life whilst the Winnower is described as the one who takes life. In the evening, the Gardener and the Winnower would play the Flower game in the garden before time. | |||
The Winnower describes the rules of the Flower game as the following: a living flower with less than 2 living neighbors is starved and dies; a living flower with 2 or 3 living neighbors is able to survive into the next generation; a living flower with more than 3 living neighbors is overcrowded and dies; and a dead flower with only 3 living neighbors comes back to life. While the Winnower enjoys this inevitable victory, the Gardener becomes tired of it. | |||
The Gardener decides to add both it and the Winnower themselves to the rules of the Flower game in order to delay the Final Shape, a philosophy in which nothing that causes pain and suffering should exist. The Winnower discovers the First Knife, initiating the first conflict between the paracausal forces of Light and Darkness. Light is the paracausal force affecting the physical world while Darkness is the paracausal force affecting the mental world. The conflict begins by bringing down the legendary Tree of Silver Wings. As a result, the universe begins recording time. |
The Creation of The Witness
Year | Date | Event | Information |
---|---|---|---|
The Traveler manifests in realspace | The Gardener lands on the home planet of a humanoid species. The inhabitants exhume the sphere which bestows upon them gifts of knowledge, beginning their Golden Age. | ||
Eons later, in the absence of guidance from their benefactor, their society began to crave meaning and sought to find something that would bring order and purpose to an otherwise open-ended existence, eventually viewing their Gardener as a force of chaos capable of bringing creation or ruin. | |||
Discovery of the Veil | Now capable of interstellar travel as a result of gifts of the light, the species becomes aware of an object of power antipodal to the Light, one linked to the mind and consciousness rather than the physical world. They called this object: The Winnower. In studying the Darkness, they discovered that it held the means to guide the universe into a perfected, eternal form, a "Final Shape" that would last to the end of time and beyond. In this, they found purpose. To achieve their goal, the species schemed to bring the Traveler and the Veil together, which would, according to their research, grant them the ability to alter reality itself. They set off in search of their benefactor's counterpart, eventually finding it and returning it to their homeworld. In response, the Traveler flees to avoid this outcome. | ||
The Birth of The Witness | Unwilling to abandon their quest, the civilization used The Veil to bind their consciousnesses together, merging themselves into a single, unfathomably powerful entity: the Witness through a ritualistic mass sacrifice, possibly against the will of many members.[1] Empowered by the Darkness and commanding a fleet of pyramidal ships, the Witness left its world behind and began a crusade to find the Traveler and unite it with the Veil, and in doing so bring about the Final Shape |
Rise of Rhulk, the First Disciple
- Main article: Lore:Shattered Suns
Year | Date | Event | Information |
---|---|---|---|
The Traveler arrives at Lubrae, a planet orbited by a Sapphiric Sun and an Umbral Sun. It uplifts the Lubraeans living on the planet, enabling them access to technology capable of driving out dangerous flora attacking the people under the Umbral Sun through the Sapphiric Converter. After the Traveler departs from Lubrae, a division occurs with the Lubraeans between the nomadic Wanderers and The Regime settling under the Sapphiric Converter. Rhulk is born under the Wanderers to his father Rhelik, his sister Kheeta, and his mother Vrhuna. He witnesses his father fight the Stalkers sent by the Regime and shares in his hatred of them. | |||
After witnessing the death of his clan-uncle and Fhent at the hands of the Regime, Rhulk decides to take action. He kills a group of Stalkers and is exiled as a result of his violent behavior's incompatibility with the peaceful culture of the Wanderers. He begins his quest to find his father. He gets captured by the Regime in the process. He learns that his father had defected to the Regime, angering him. He renames the Glaive he had dedicated to the mission of finding his father from Rheliksward to Rheliksbane. He later learns his father has defected back to the Wanderers, angering him further and vowing to kill him. | |||
He reunites with his clan and family, but they push into the Abyss, a chasm that divides the Wildlands the Wanderers inhabit and the city the Regime inhabit. At the bottom of the Abyss, Rhulk makes contact with a mysterious being that would soon be known by him as "his Witness". At the behest of the Witness, Rhulk uses his Glaive to crack open the planet and use the Upended to destroy the Sapphiric Sun and his home planet. He becomes the last Lubraean and the first Disciple of the Witness. He renames his Glaive to Lubrae's Ruin. | |||
The Witness convinces Rhulk to recruit the Ahslid to join its side. Rhulk begins by training Uun. Rhulk's attempt to get the Ahslid to join backfires as their peaceful way of life turns into warfare. Uun turns away from Rhulk's teaching, and thus the Ahslid became extinct. | |||
Rhulk arrives on Fundament and seeks out the Worms, in the process grievously injuring the Leviathan. The Worm broodmother Xita is subjugated and forced to produce implantable worm larvae to tie the Worm species to the Darkness.[2] He allows its larvae to drift into the oceans of Fundament. The larvae would soon reach the Osmium King to warn him and eventually Sathona of an impending God-Wave. |
Ascension of the Hive
- Main article: Books of Sorrow
Year | Date | Event | Information |
---|---|---|---|
The Worms, an intelligent species able to wield the power of the Darkness directly, are trapped in the depths of a global ocean within one of the atmospheric layers of the gas giant Fundament by the Traveler. The Traveler's priest, a creature called Leviathan, also dwells in the deeper Fundament and attempts to dissuade anyone from seeking them out. The Worms in turn begin calling across the stars to other species, seeking to lure one that can free them. As a result, hundreds of species migrate to Fundament and become stranded there—eking out a living on the shards of their broken worlds which become floating continents. One such species was the proto-Hive known as the Krill, whose homeworld collided with Fundament and shattered. The Krill survive and build a new civilization for themselves on the floating shards of their former homeworld, gradually forgetting their original history.[3]
A species of bony six-armed cephalopods named the Ammonites benefit from the Traveler's patronage and build a sophisticated starfaring civilization spanning all of Fundament's fifty-two moons, before eventually coming into contact with the distant Ecumene.[4][5] | |||
At eight years of age, the Krill Osmium King of the Osmium Court on Fundament sires his final brood of offspring, which include his three daughters Xi Ro, Sathona, and Aurash who are tutored by sterile mother Taox. At ten years of age, the Osmium King begins to succumb to senility and madness; becoming consumed with ancient texts and obsessing over the movements of Fundament's moons, and the possibility of a catastrophic alignment called the Syzygy.[6][7][8] Unbeknownst to him, the Witness spoke to him through the Worm familiar. | |||
Fearing for the Osmium Court's future and believing the royal daughters were unsuited to rule, Taox secretly contacts the rival continent's Helium Drinkers of the Helium Court, inviting them to invade, assassinate the royal family, and install her as a subservient regent of the Osmium Court in exchange for engines capable of moving their continent.[7] The Helium Drinkers agree, resulting in the Osmium Court's fall and the death of the Osmium King, but the royal daughters escape and vow to take revenge.[6] | |||
Three years after losing their kingdom, upon the advice of their father's worm, Xi Ro, Sathona, and Aurash use a salvaged high-tech ship to dive into Fundament's depths, hoping to discover a secret to stave off the Syzygy, which Aurash had come to believe was imminent.[9][10] They encounter the Leviathan, but reject his pleas to turn back and continue on to the Worms.[11][12] The Worms offer the sisters immortality and power in exchange for accepting their larvae as parasites and carrying out the will of the Darkness. The sisters agree to the pact and are transformed into the first Hive: Xi Ro becomes Xivu Arath, Sathona becomes Savathûn, and Aurash becomes Auryx.[13] | |||
Xivu Arath, Savathûn, and Auryx return to the surface and share the Worm parasites among the other Krill, becoming the Hive and creating an army that quickly overwhelms Fundament's other species.[14] Taox flees, at first to other continents[15][16] and then to the Ammonite capital moon where she is granted asylum.[4] The Hive follow and war against the Ammonites, eventually exterminating them, killing the Leviathan, and forcing the Traveler to abandon Fundament.[17] The Hive colonize and transform Fundament's moons into mobile war-moons[18], and embark on their purge of the universe in the name of the Darkness.[19] During this time the Worms begin instructing Auryx in the nature of the Sword-Logic.[18][20][21][22][23] | |||
The Hive eradicate hundreds of intelligent species, including the Qugu, over a span of twenty thousand years.[24] During this time they grow and expand their kingdoms, refining and deepening their knowledge of the Sword-Logic.[25] Auryx makes war upon Savathûn out of both revenge and love, with Xivu Arath fighting them together.[26] | |||
Approximately twenty-four thousand years after the fall of the Ammonites[5], the Hive reach the frontier of the Ecumene and invade seventeen worlds over the course of a century[5]. The Dakaua, a client species of the Ecumene, discover Taox in cryo-stasis aboard an ancient ship.[5] Taox shares her knowledge of the Hive's leaders and motivations with the Dakaua, and the Ecumene unleashes its most powerful weapons against the Hive, who immediately suffer setbacks.[5] Seeking the power necessary to allow the Hive to continue their crusade, Auryx slays his sisters[27] and then the Worm God Akka[28], harnessing the ability to Take. Auryx becomes Oryx, the Taken King. Over a period of one thousand, one hundred and forty years the resurgent Hive triumvirate annihilate the species of the Ecumene so utterly that no trace of them remains.[29][30] Taox escapes yet again, however, and the Hive resume their pursuit, ravaging the galaxy along the way. | |||
Golden Amputation | Ten thousand years later, after destroying the Taishibethi,[31] Oryx reaches the Darkness itself and communes with it.[32][33] He decides to produce children, and sires a son and twin daughters: Crota, Ir Anûk, and Ir Halak.[34][35][36] | ||
While Oryx is absent from his court to observe the Darkness destroy an ancient fortress world, Crota, after being tricked by his aunt Savathûn, inadvertently opens a portal to a place containing Vex while experimenting within the Ascendant Realm.[37] The Vex, unable to comprehend the physics of Oryx throne world, manifest Quria, Blade Transform[38], who begins experimenting with the Hive, learning to worship the Darkness, and continue to plague Oryx's realm for a hundred years.[38] The Worm God Eir finally calls Oryx home to deal with the problem after the Vex come close to conquering the High War.[38] Oryx Takes many of the Vex, dividing them against one another, before finally expelling the cybernetic machines from his realm.[39] Oryx comes to consider the Vex a worthy rival, and resolves to follow the Darkness and document the destruction it wreaks in a "grave of worlds"[39], so that he may learn from it and use this knowledge to succeed in his crusade against the universe.[39] With his Ascendant Realm having been compromised by the Vex incursion, Oryx builds the Dreadnaught from Akka's corpse and houses his realm within it.[39][40] This takes place before Earth's formation (at least 4.54 billion years ago)[41] | |||
The Hive destroy the Harmony, another species that had built a peaceful and advanced civilization with the aid of the Traveler[42], and topple the fabled Gift Mast over a period of a hundred and fifty years.[43] During this conflict Oryx defeats Quria, Blade Transform and the remaining Vex who were attacking him, and gives the Taken Hydra to Savathûn.[40][44][45] Quria's last act is to share what it has learned about Oryx's origins as Aurash with the rest of the Vex collective mind.[46] Afterwards, Oryx's sisters part ways with him; Savathûn takes her war-moons into the black hole the Harmony's worlds orbited, while Xivu Arath ventures into unknown space.[43] Oryx journeys on in the footsteps of the Darkness, continuing the Hive's crusade and still seeking the elusive Taox.[47] | |||
By means unknown, the Vex embed themselves in every known celestial body.[48] On Venus this results in the creation of the Vault of Glass and Atheon, Time's Conflux[49] to further study what Quria had recovered from Oryx and the Hive.[46] |
Pre-Golden Age
Year | Date | Event | Information |
---|---|---|---|
The Traveler visits the Eliksni (later known as the "Fallen") and provides them with limitless Ether.[50] The Eliksni prosper under the Traveler's patronage and revere it as "The Great Machine". During these years, the House of Judgment enforces law and peace.[51] | |||
Sometime after, the Eliksni civilization is destroyed by an event known as the Whirlwind, and Chelchis, Kell of Stone is slain by Oryx himself, becoming a legend amongst his people.[52][53][54] The Traveler abandons the Eliksni around this time. In the aftermath, the House of Judgement attempts to maintain order among the survivors, but is unable to prevent the outbreak of a bloody civil war and is itself nearly eradicated. The remnants of House Judgment are forced into servitude by the remaining Kells.[52] | |||
At some point, the Cabal forge a vast interstellar Empire and incorporate the telekinetic Psions as a client race. An unknown calamity eventually strikes the Cabal and forces the Empire to flee.[55][56] | |||
Long before the Cabal invaded the Solar System, Dominus Ghaul, with the aid of The Consul, leads a military coup against Emperor Calus, who is exiled to The Leviathan. Ghaul becomes the new leader of the Cabal Empire.[57] | |||
As Calus is too popular among the Cabal populace to execute without risking rebellion, the conspirators exile Calus and his surviving supporters to the Leviathan and lock its course to a destination far outside of the Cabal empire. | |||
After wallowing in despair for an unknown amount of time after his exile, the Leviathan comes across an expanse of nothingness, which shorts out the navigational systems. Calus then looks into the void and gains a renewed sense of purpose. [58] With control of the Leviathan back in his hands, Calus begins exploring the galaxy and planning to retake the empire. |

The powder is weighed by the grain and studied close. One hundred billion bits reside inside, all of them tiny and nearly spherical, and etched with the outlines of continents and islands and icecaps. Each sphere represents a planet. One is found on Earth, Mars, and Venus. Many studying presume that the box is a message of how minuscule all of creation is, and some wonder who delivered this message, and why.[82] | |||

The Great Disaster | The Guardians launch an audacious offensive to reclaim the Moon from the Hive. The Hive Prince Crota, the son of their God-King Oryx, brutally repels the attack, personally leading the Hive's forces and killing scores of Guardians with his fabled sword.

Osiris' desire for truth, however, about the purpose of Guardians and the nature of Darkness cause division.[165] His subsequent misuse of resources and the diversion of Guardians from their duties would result in the Speaker sending him exile shortly after the Battle of Twilight Gap[203], as the Speaker believed he had become as obsessed with the Vex as Toland had with the Hive. After a bitter argument with the Speaker, Osiris is also exiled from the tower, and Ikora Rey replaces him as the Warlock Vanguard.[165] | ||
The Battle of the Twilight Gap | The House of Devils leads the combined might of three Fallen Houses into an assault against the City.[204] The battle is joined at Twilight Gap, just outside the City's walls.

The Exile of Petra Venj | Petra Venj is exiled to the Last City to serve as the Queen's Emissary as penance for murdering nine Guardians and their Ghosts because of a miscommunication between the Awoken and the Vanguard. Sometime during this exile, she writes a letter asking to come home.[218][219] | ||
Following the Reef Wars, the Cabal commander Valus Trau'ug attempts to authorize an invasion of the Reef.[220] When he is denied by his superiors, Trau'ug massacres his own officers in an act of mutiny and leads his most loyal soldiers against the Queen.[220] Trau'ug fails utterly as both he and his Broken Legion are interned in the Prison of Elders by unknown means.[220] Their ships end up as part of the Reef graveyard. | |||

The Transmission Incident | Field reports are made from Guardians whose armor have become infested with "tech mites", which manifest as swarms of colorful specks that swirl around their heads. Unable to contain the mites' spread among the Guardians, the Owl Sector and Vanguard instead implemented a quarantine on the Last City in order to prevent non-Guardians' exposure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bypass Authority Berriole travels to the Dust Palace to learn the origin of the tech mites. Following a set of tracks to a lab, she finds various locked storage cabinets had been cut or blasted open. Further investigation yields the mites were linked to a Clovis Bray project overseen by a Dr. Zarin Shirazi who worked under Dr.Willa Bray and that the tech mites were actually a nanomachine therapy to improve subjects' intelligence and strength for the Golden Age's colonization effort. After sealing Shirazi's lab, however, Berriole becomes aware that the tracks which led to the lab appeared to have been made by Fallen, implying that a group of Fallen (possibly the Splicers) were responsible for the incident.[329] Eventually, a third of all Guardians become affected by at least one variety of tech mite, prompting the Vanguard to further tighten the City's quarantine. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Owl Sector's Liaison to the Vanguard, Shun Li, accidentally becomes exposed to a sample of tech mites and loses consciousness soon after, forcing his fellow operative Ramos to take on the duties of Acting Liaison. Fortunately, the countermeasure to the tech mites is discovered among Shirazi's records, and the combined efforts of the Owl Sector's research corps, the Hidden, and the Techeuns succeed in replicating it. Shun is revived, and the cure is administered to the Guardians, much to their dismay. With the crisis ended, the Owl Sector is returned to standby status.[330] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The SIVA Crisis begins when the Fallen House of Devils begins digging into old Golden Age research labs all over the system, eventually returning to the Cosmodrome while shifting massive amounts of resources to a previously dark region of Old Russia. Concerned the SIVA Plague may have been discovered by the House of Devils and unleashed upon the Cosmodrome, Lord Saladin personally leads the counterattack to contain the threat.[331] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Walls Come Down Rise of Iron (Quest) | Lord Saladin then sends the Guardian to pursue Sepiks Perfected into a transformed Cosmodrome in order to learn the extent of the SIVA outbreak. In the Cosmodrome, the Guardian encounters the Hive who are being driven into the open somehow. The Guardian then seeks out a monitoring station responsible for keeping the sensor grid online and retrieves vital sensor logs that provide valuable insight into the Fallen activity. [331] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Back at the Iron Temple, Lord Saladin meets with the Guardian and tells them the story of the Iron Lords, and how they attempted to co-opt SIVA against all of Rasputin's attempts to stop them (including eliminating all but nine of the Iron Lords in the process). In the end, revealing how SIVA ultimately corrupted many of the Iron Lords by turning their weapons and armor against them, forcing Jolder to seal herself and all of the Iron Lords except for Saladin within the Bunker rather than let SIVA escape. Saladin then realizes the Fallen have not yet mastered SIVA, and sends the Guardian to meet with Tyra, a Cryptarch well versed in the origins of SIVA, and also one who might know the source of the Fallen's discoveries.[332] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Guardian is then attacked by a Cabal force which they promptly eliminate before returning to the Iron Temple.[333] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Iron Tomb Rise of Iron (Quest) | Communing with the Guardian, Lord Saladin informs them that Shiro-4 has analyzed the Clovis Bray data and found a way to temporarily disrupt the Splicers' control over it. The Guardian is then tasked to descend into the SIVA replication complex in order to cut its ability to replicate itself. On the way, they reverse the power cells in the SIVA reactor, temporarily cutting off the Splicer's SIVA supply. Infiltrating the Archon's Keep, the Guardian descends deeper into the facility and after confronting the Remnant of Felwinter, destroys the SIVA Replicator via a self destruct mechanism.[334] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Working off of the pointers obtained from their exploration, the Guardian takes off for the Archon's keep in search of Hive or Fallen activity.
