{{Quote|Long before the last of the Iron Lords descended into the Plaguelands, this peak was the domain of one of their own, Lord Felwinter.|[[Tyra Karn]]<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Felwinter_Peak|Felwinter Peak]]''</ref>}}
'''Felwinter Peak''' is a location near the [[Cosmodrome]], overlooking the [[Plaguelands]]. At its summit lies [[Vostok Observatory]] and the [[Iron Temple]], the ancient stronghold of the [[Iron Lords]]. The mountain is named after [[Felwinter]], who ruled it as a [[Warlord]] for a time before he joined the Iron Lords and allowed them to build their headquarters there.<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Places/Earth#Felwinter_Peak|Felwinter Peak]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]] [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lord _Felwinter| Lord Felwinter]]''</ref>

==History==
During the 20th Century, Vostok Observatory was constructed atop the mountain. By the [[Golden Age]], the observatory had been decommissioned and put under the care of the Vostok Observatory Historical Society as a public museum.

In the [[Dark Age]], the mountain was claimed by a Warlord known as [[Castor]], who ruled over a village at the foot of the mountain. On the run from [[Rasputin]]'s [[Warsat]]s and combat [[frame]]s, Felwinter and his Ghost [[Felspring]] decided to fortify themselves at Vostok Observatory. Felwinter called on Castor to negotiate, but ended up killing Castor's Ghost and pushing him off the mountain. 
When Felwinter later joined the Iron Lords, he gave up the mountain on the condition that the people of the village at its foot would be protected. With the mountain under the control of the Iron Lords, Lord [[Silimar]] built the Iron Temple.

Later during the Dark Age, [[The Drifter (character)|the Drifter]], under the name Wu Ming, built and operated a bar known as the [[End of the World]] at the foot of the mountain, which was typically only visited by other Risen due to the wind and cold of the area.

Since the fall of the original Iron Lords, Lord [[Saladin]] locked away the Iron Temple and kept knowledge of the temple and the mountain to himself. Only after an attack from a resurgent House of Devils did Saladin return with the Guardians in tow. With the beginning of the [[SIVA Crisis]], Felwinter Peak became the base of operations for Lord Saladin and the new generation of Iron Lords against the [[SIVA]]-augmented [[Devil Splicers]].<ref>'''Bungie (2016-9-20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King of the Mountain]]''</ref>  

During the [[Red War]], Guardian forces used the mountain as a [[Crucible]] site.
