In the first years after the [[Collapse]], a time before the rise of the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Last City]], some of the earliest Guardians to be revived chose not to protect the world, 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> Taking over various parts of the planet, some Guardians became [[Warlord]]s and injustice reigned.

Following the conflict, the Iron Lords dedicated themselves to defending survivors of the [[Collapse]] and restoring civilization. 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 even 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]]. The other Iron Lords sacrificed themselves to contain the biomechanical plague by sealing themselves within its replication 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. The second generation of the Lords, the [[Iron Wolves]], and their weapons are likewise honored by the Iron Banner.

Following the [[SIVA Crisis]], a new generation of Guardians has taken up the mantle of the Iron Lords.
