| In the time immediately following the [[Collapse]], before the rise of the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Last City]], some [[Risen]] chose not to protect humanity, but subjugate it.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref> They became [[Warlord]]s who ruled over vast swathes of [[Earth]].

| The Warlords could not match their strength and were deposed. To ensure their despotism was ended permanently, many Iron Lords inflicted final deaths by destroying their foes' Ghosts. Yet not every Warlord was slain. One former [[Warlord]], Lord Felwinter, was swayed by the Iron Lords' message and decided to join their cause.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref>

| Following the Warlord conflict, the Iron Lords dedicated themselves to safeguarding survivors of the [[Collapse]] and restoring civilization. They helped raise the walls of the [[Last City]] and defended them in the massive Battle of [[Six Fronts]], holding out against six [[Fallen]] approaches. Not a single front faltered.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Six Fronts]]''</ref> During this conflict, the Iron Lords were renowned for their combat prowess, cementing their legend.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Iron Banner|Iron Banner]]''</ref>

| 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 suffered 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]], who had disappeared to live in the wilds beyond the City. The eight Iron Lords who made it to SIVA's Replication Chamber, save for Lord Saladin, sacrificed themselves to contain the biomechanical plague by sealing themselves in the 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, such as the Felwinter's Lie [[Shotgun]] and the Jolder's Hammer [[Machine Gun]].

| The '''Iron Wolves''' were the second generation of the [[Iron Lords]]. They existed alongside the Lords and, like their senior counterparts, they were felled in what would become The [[Plaguelands]] in the quest to claim SIVA.

| ===The New Age of Iron lords===
| |
| After the horrific losses inflicted by SIVA, [[Saladin Forge]] knighted [[The Guardian]] and named them the first of the new generation of Iron Lords. They would once again serve as a beacon of hope for the Last City.
