Editing Radegast

'''Radegast''' was a [[Titan (class)|Titan]], and first of the renowned [[Iron Lords]]. Under his leadership, the Iron Lords ended the reign of the [[Warlord]]s and the [[Dark Age]], helping to found and defend [[The Last City]] of [[Humanity]] and usher in the [[City Age]]. However, Radegast and most of his companions were slain by the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] through [[SIVA]] at the dawn of that new age, leaving him unable to see his dream of an end to fighting and the rise of humanity achieved.

Radegast was the first of the Iron Lords, and was responsible for assembling the motley crew that would rise to the renown all [[Guardian]]s know. Originally, the four man team of himself, [[Perun]], [[Jolder]], and [[Saladin Forge]] fought against the Warlords in secret, living in fear of that other Guardians would destroy them. Eventually, they had a particularly brutal battle against five enemy Warlords in defense of a mining community, resulting in the devastation of the surrounding area and destruction of the outpost. After this battle, Radegast became weary of [[Lightbearer|Risen]] fighting and fearing one another, and expressed his desire to see them unite as protectors of humanity, like the knights that existed long before the [[Golden Age]]. Radegast then had his friends name wielders of the [[Light]] they trusted to ride with them; Jolder named [[Bretomart]], Perun named [[Deidris]], but Saladin did not trust anyone other than Radegast. He then called on them to gather those they trust to fight the Warlords out in the open, calling on them to join him as [[Iron Lords]], coining the name for the first time. Everyone present agreed without hesitation, and thus began the [[Warlord Conflict|conflict against the Warlords]].<ref name="Lord Radegast>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lord_Radegast|Lord Radegast]]''</ref>

As the Iron Lords expanded their ranks, Lord [[Timur]] informed Radegast that the Warlord [[Felwinter]] was interested in joining the Iron Lords. Radegast and Timur were interested in using [[Felwinter Peak]] as their headquarters due to its defensible position, but were also intrigued by Felwinter's interest in the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]], as Timur himself was seeking the technology known as [[SIVA]] to aid in the building of [[The Last City]]. The two Iron Lords met with Felwinter, but Radegast found himself unnerved by the [[Exo]]'s seeming lack of emotion. Radegast questioned him about his interest in Rasputin as well as the civilians who lived below his peak in a small village before asking if he would give up his peak to the Iron Lords. Felwinter would only do so if his people were guaranteed the protection of the Iron Lords. Hearing this care for his people, Radegast gave Felwinter a small smile and welcomed him into the Iron Lords, stating that he needed to meet Saladin and learn how his people could go to the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Liar#THE_IRON_LORD|The Liar - THE IRON LORD]]''</ref> Radegast introduced Felwinter to the rest of the Iron Lords leadership, although this first meeting went poorly due to the captured [[Ghost]] of a Warlord that Felwinter was revealed to keep welded into the back of his helmet.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Worthy]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Felwinter's Helm]]''</ref>

Amongst the Warlords whom Radegast personally engaged was [[Rience]]. The Iron Lords laid siege to his stronghold, causing Rience to invite them to negotiate. Radegast, Jolder, and Perun met to determine what to do, with Jolder suggesting they goad him into accepting single combat between two champions. Radegast and Perun parlayed with the Warlord while Jolder prepared to serve as the Iron Lords champion, and they managed to get Rience to agree to their terms.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lady_Jolder|Lady Jolder]]''</ref>

Radegast, Perun, and Saladin defended a village from the forces of Warlord [[Segoth]], who exploited its people for labor and resources. As the inhabitants nervously took cover within their dwellings, the three Iron Lords established a defensive position along the west road and spotted Segoth leading eight of his Risen followers on [[Pike]]s straight towards the village. Radegast worried that they might deviate and assault from the north or south roads, but Perun reassured him that he would not as he wanted to make a statement and terrorize the villagers with his approach. Hearing this, Radegast became determined to end the Warlord's tyranny that day. The Warlord halted his forces before the line of Iron Lords and demanded they leave his territory and declared the people were his to do with as he pleased. Radegast accused him of abusing the gifts of Light that the [[Traveler]] had entrusted them with, but Segoth merely smiled and shrugged in response and opened fire upon them. Together, the three Iron Lords formed a wall with their shields and cut down the exposed Risen from behind cover, but Radegast was shot in the head by a raging Segoth when his Ghost revived him. However, the shield wall held and Radegast was quickly revived. Giving no ground, the three Iron Lords forced Segoth to call a retreat as he vowed revenge upon them, but the Warlord was gunned down one more time as he fled and his hold over the town was broken.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lady_Perun|Lady Perun]]''</ref>
