Four orders of Titans defended six different approaches against an overwhelming enemy force, led by the [[Iron Lords]]. None of the orders faltered, and what could have been a disastrous defeat became instead a decisive victory<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Six Fronts]]</ref>. |

| | [[Pujari]] leaps from the [[Shores of Time]] and has a vision of the [[Black Garden]], where he communes with the image of a [[Ghost]] claiming that the [[Traveler]] is another form of [[Darkness]]<ref>Legends: The Black Garden</ref>. Awestruck Ghosts returning from the [[Vault of Glass]] report encounters with ancient Vex, their casings built long before the age of humanity,<ref>Precursors</ref> and survivors of the Vault report sightings of ancient [[Vex]]—ancient in the sense that they have endured for eons. Convergent analysis from multiple Ghosts suggests that these Vex exist in our future. The [[Guardian]] [[Vanguard]] points out that time travel remains a mystery, and the continued existence of the Vex is not remotely a sure indication of humanity’s extinction<ref>Descendants</ref>. |

| | [[Kabr, the Legionless]], eventually pierces the Vex’s Vault of Glass on [[Venus]] with a group of Guardians, including [[Pahanin]] and [[Praedyth]]. He fashioned many weapons and armor pieces from consumed Vex technology and remnants after they became unable to defeat the Vex. He “drank of the Oracles” and placed within the Vault, before his death, the [[Aegis]], a device created from his own [[Light]] and “the thinking flesh of the Vex”. Doing so required the Vex to take his Ghost, and infect his blood and brain. The Aegis has the ability to change Guardians' fates, and due to the time-bending nature of the Vault of Glass, exists in both past, present, and future. |

| Centuries after the collapse, a [[Ghost]] scouring the ruins outside of the old [[Cosmodrome]] finds its Guardian among the ancient remains and resurrects them just as a band of [[Fallen]] begin encroaching on their position. [[Ghost]] leads the Guardian through [[The Wall]] in search of a [[Arcadia Class Jumpship|Jumpship]] before helping them return to [[The City]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> At the [[Tower]] the Guardian is acquainted with the merchants and Guardians who reside there. The Guardian then returns to the Cosmodrome in order to find a [[NLS Drive|Warp Drive]] which will allow them to join the fight beyond Earth. After finding one in Fallen hands, the Guardian defeats the [[House of Devils| Devil]]'s [[Archon]] and gains an audience with the [[Speaker]] who confides in them that the Darkness is returning. Wanting to help, the Guardian is tasked to join the other Guardians in pushing back the Darkness until a cure for the Traveler can be found.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Restoration]]''</ref>

| | |
| The Guardian ventures back to the Cosmodrome at the request of the Speaker who wants to know what the Fallen are protecting in the old [[Skywatch]], but after infiltrating the Lunar Complex, the Guardian quickly discovers the [[Hive]] locked within before confronting the [[Wizard]] [[Gotra, Eir Spawn|Gotra]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Dark Within]]''</ref>

| | |
| Soon after, the Vanguard reports Fallen crews tearing into machines all over the Cosmodrome. Convinced they are not just looting, Ghost prompts the Guardian to investigate. The Guardian discovers the Warmind Rasputin survived the Collapse and is keeping the Fallen from accessing the [[Planetary Defense Network|Array]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Warmind]]''</ref> In an effort to raise this array, the Guardian tracks down access codes held by members of a lost Dead Orbit team.

| | |
| On the [[Moon]], the Guardian picks up the trail of another Guardian who went dark searching for a way into the Hive [[Hellmouth|Fortress]]. After hacking a [[Golden Age]] [[First Light|colony base]], the Guardian travels to the [[Temple of Crota]] where they fight off [[House of Exile|Exiled Fallen]] as well as Hive forces led by [[Vurok, Eir Spawn]]. Unable to save the Guardian, Ghost recovers his Ghost's memories and learns that the Hive are raising an army to invade [[Earth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Dark Beyond]]''</ref>

| In an attempt to uncover what the Hive are planning, the Guardian infiltrates the [[The World's Grave]] and kills [[Kranox, the Graven]]. The Guardian's Ghost then steals as much data as possible before the two return to warn the City. <ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The World's Grave (mission)]]''</ref> Returning to the Moon, the Guardian infiltrates the Hellmouth once more and claims the Sword of Crota.

| After successfully decrypting the information from the World's Grave alongside the [[Cryptarch]]s, the Speaker broadcasts an urgent transmission to all Guardians claiming that a Hive ritual is draining the Traveler's [[Light]]. The Guardian then returns once more to the Hive temple and after receiving a message from the [[Exo Stranger]], inviting them to come find her if they are successful, kills the [[Siphon Witch]]es, effectively preventing them from stealing any more of the [[Light]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Chamber of Night (mission)]]''</ref>

| | |
| Following the Stranger's coordinates, the Guardian finally travels to Venus where they are ambushed by the evil robots known as [[Vex]]. After defeating the Vex forces in the vicinity, the Guardian meets with the Exo Stranger, who tells them that they must find the [[Black Garden]] and rip out its heart in order for the Traveler to heal. Before the Guardian can ask anymore questions, the Exo Stranger is contacted by an unknown entity before dissolving.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Stranger's Call]]''</ref> With the only ones who know the location of the Garden being the [[Awoken]], the Guardian seeks an audience with the [[Mara Sov|Queen]] of the [[Reef]] and is informed that they must obtain the eye of a Vex Gate Lord in order to infiltrate the Black Garden. The Queen then reminds the Guardian that they owe her in exchange for her information.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Awoken]]''</ref>

| | |
| To find a Gate Lord, the Guardian travels to an old research station of the [[Ishtar Collective]], and analyzes a Vex mind core, giving them vital intel on the nature of the Vex as well as the means with which to summon the Gate Lord. While at the Ishtar Academy, the Guardian kills [[Grayliks, Winter Baron]] and secures an ancient Golden Age [[Archive]] for the Cryptarchs.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Archive]]''</ref> Armed with this new intel, the Guardian reaches the [[Endless Steps]], summoning and slaying [[Zydron, Gate Lord]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Eye of a Gate Lord]]''</ref> Returning to the Reef, the Guardian brings the Gate Lord's head before the Queen, who gifts its eye to them in sympathy for their Traveler. [[Uldren]] then gives them the coordinates to the Black Garden including a way to repower the Gate Lord's dead eye.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Key Awaits]]''</ref>

While en route to the Garden, the Guardian also shuts down a series of Vex gates beneath the subway tunnels of [[Freehold]], and discovers that the Vex are being summoned to protect the place where they were born.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[A Rising Tide]]''</ref> Succefully recharging Zydron's Eye, the Guardian is transported to the Black Garden.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Garden's Spire]]''</ref>

| | |
| Within the Black Garden, the Guardian confronts the [[Sol Progeny]] and defeats them, destroying the Black Heart in the process. Returned to Mars upon the Heart's destruction, the Guardian is summoned back to the Tower, where the Speaker gives a victory speech. Meanwhile, the Exo Stranger converses with the Guardian inside the [[Tower#Tower_Hangar|Hangar]] and gifts them with her [[The Stranger's Rifle|Rifle]] before leaving abruptly again. The Guardian then repowers their ship and takes off into orbit as they prepare for their next mission.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Black Garden]]''</ref>
