===Mid-City Age===

==== The Great Hive War ====

*'''2891.98''' - Osiris begins to tire of repetitive strike missions and seemingly unproductive sessions with the Cryptarch before he is eventually noticed by the Speaker, who makes him his apprentice.<ref name="Osiris"/> Osiris' desire for truth, however, about the purpose of Guardians and the nature of [[Darkness]] cause division.<ref name="Osiris"/> 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<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [http://db.destinytracker.com/items/4171787962-mark-of-the-exile Mark of the Exile]</ref>, as the Speaker believed he had become as obsessed with the Vex as [[Toland, the Shattered|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]].<ref name="Osiris"/>

*'''The Crusade of Saint-14'''—after Twilight Gap, the legendary Titan and Exo [[Saint-14]] rallies an army of Guardians to attack the Fallen surrounding the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [http://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/cloak-of-the-skypillar Cloak of the Skypillar]''</ref> His campaign is successful and Fallen attacks on the City temporarily abate.

*[[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.<ref name="Queen's Wrath">'''Bungie (2014/9/23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Petra_Venj.2C_Queen.27s_Wrath|Queen's Wrath]]''</ref><ref name="Emissary">'''Bungie (2014/9/23)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#The_Queen.27s_Emissary|The Queen's Emissary]]''</ref>

*On Mars, an [[Exo]] Guardian sent by Cayde-6 hunts Valus Tua'aurc by the sound of his radio traffic.

*'''[[Owl Sector#Transmission Incident|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.  

*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 [[Techeun]]s succeed in replicating it. Shun is revived, and the cure administered to the Guardians, much to their dismay. With the crisis ended, the Owl Sector is returned to standby status.<ref>[http://owlsector.bungie.net/archive.html#en Owl Sector Records]</ref>

*The Vex finally discover how to manifest their ontological power outside of the Vault and augment Sekrion with it, but are unable to keep the Taken from corrupting the Mind, transforming it into [[Sekrion, Subverted Mind]].

===''[[Destiny 2]]''===

*The Guardian and Sagira-Ghost return to [[Ikora Rey]] on Earth, where she informs them that the [[Vex]] must have a map of the Forest, and the only place that is able to store that much date is the [[Pyramidion]], on [[Io]]. The Guardian and Sagira-Ghost depart for Io, and battle their way to the center of the Pyramidion. However, they find that the map is not in the Pyramidion, but find a schematic of a node in the Infinite Forest.<ref name ="Walkthrough3">'''YouTube''', ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1pjYGDZqLc DESTINY 2 CURSE OF OSIRIS Walkthrough Gameplay Part 3 - Infinite - Campaign Mission 3 (DLC)]''</ref>

*The pair head to Nessus to find the [[Entanglement Mind]], and after chasing it down destroy it and retrieve its Mind Core.

* It is revealed that [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] has awoken for the first time since the [[Collapse]], and as a response, Rasputin had called the Warsats down to Mars.

*The Guardian kills Xol, and Rasputin allows the three Guardians an audience. In which he explains that he will protect Humanity, but under his own choices, before launching a new network of Warsats under his sole control, claiming that "never again will a threat go unseen".

===''[[Forsaken]]''===

*A rogue Guardian by the name of [[The Drifter (character)|The Drifter]] arrives at the tower, and immediately begins asking Guardians to participate in his gamemode, [[Gambit]].

*A funeral is held for Cayde, and while Ikora wishes to send every Guardian to hunt down those responsible for Cayde's death, Zavala disagrees and does not allow Ikora to implement her plan. In response, the Guardian vows to kill Uldren Sov personally.

*The Guardian slays the Voice of Riven, and Uldren emerges unharmed. The Guardian retrieves the Ace of Spades, and Petra enters the room. Both point their guns at Uldren, who adamantly states that every action he undertook was for Mara. Nevertheless, Uldren is executed by the Guardian and Petra.

*A fireteam of six Guardians [[Last Wish|raid]] the Dreaming City, freeing [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from Taken corruption. After slaying [[Morgeth, the Spirekeeper]] and opening an ancient Awoken vault, the Guardians encounter Riven herself. After a fierce battle, Riven is slain and her heart cleansed by the freed Techeuns. However, this is exactly what Riven desired, and the Dreaming City is cursed by Taken.

*Two weeks after the curse was inflicted upon the Dreaming City, the [[Blind Well]] is sufficiently charged to allow the Guardians' access to [[Eleusinia]], Mara Sov's Throne World. After a long journey, the Guardian defeats [[Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return]], and is granted a direct audience with Mara Sov, who had survived the events of the Taken war. However, at the end of the week, the Dreaming City is reverted to the state it was in when the curse began. It is revealed that the entire city has been trapped in a three-week timeloop.

*At the end of the fourth cycle, Mara immediately questions how Uldren had died, stating that she wasn't satisfied with the fact that the Guardian was the one to kill Uldren.
