| ==Chapters==
| | The ''Light and Darkness Saga'' is about the [[Traveler]] and its battle against an unknown force known as [[The Darkness]], fleeing across the galaxy to find powerful heralds of its power to combat opposing forces. |
| ===Becoming Legend===
| |
| Also referred to as ''A Guardian Rises'', the initial campaign of Destiny follows a newly risen [[The Guardian|Guardian]]'s journey throughout the [[Sol System]] to investigate what is preventing the Traveler from healing after its fight with the Darkness during the [[Collapse]]. During their journey they encounter several hostile races: the scavenging and vicious raiders known as the [[Fallen]], the zealous and Darkness-worshipping [[Hive]], the robotic entities containing [[Radiolaria]] inside their frames known as the [[Vex]], and the militant warrior race known as the [[Cabal]]. They would soon learn from the [[Elisabeth Bray|Exo Stranger]] that a [[Black Heart|Heart]] within the [[Black Garden]] was the reason the Traveler is not healing, so they gain the favor of the [[Awoken]] and get an Eye of a [[Zydron, Gate Lord|Gate Lord]] to enter the Black Garden and destroy its heart by defeating the [[Sol Progeny]].
| |
| | |
| ===The Dark Below===
| |
| A [[Eris Morn|Hunter]] has returned from the darkness of the [[Hellmouth]] on the [[Moon]], and she warns of a returning threat: [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], the Hive god-prince who slaughtered thousands of Guardians during their initial [[Great Disaster|invasion]] to take back the Moon from the Hive. The Guardian is tasked by her to scour the [[Cosmodrome]] for his heralds to slow his revival, then finally confront the demon himself within the deepest recesses of the Hellmouth and even his own [[Oversoul Throne|Throne World]].
| |
| | |
| ===House of Wolves===
| |
| During their quest to find and destroy the Black Heart, the Guardian had struck a deal with the Awoken Queen [[Mara Sov]] and also had learned she had a [[House of Wolves|House]] of Fallen loyal to her. Now she reaches out to the Guardians to hunt down [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] and end his rebellion before they gain a foothold within the grander Fallen political scene, and perhaps even something more dangerous.
| |
| | |
| ===The Taken King===
| |
| [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], a God of the Hive, has arrived in the Sol System, seeking vengeance for his son's [[Crota's End|death]]. With his own personal [[Taken|army]] in tow, a force no Guardian has faced, Oryx quickly takes complete control of the system and challenges the Guardian themselves to stop him. Now the go-to champion of the [[Last City]], the Guardian, is sent by Eris Morn and [[Cayde-6]], the [[Hunter]] [[Vanguard]], to find a way to cleanse the system of the Taken rot and confront the God-King himself.
| |
| | |
| ===Rise of Iron===
| |
| [[Saladin Forge|Lord Saladin]], the last of the [[Iron Lords]], has called upon the Guardian to take back [[Felwinter Peak]], and in the process discovers something disturbing. [[SIVA]], an ancient and unwieldly [[Golden Age]] nanotechnology produced by [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]], is now in the hands of the [[House of Devils]] [[Splicer]]s. With Felwinter Peak reclaimed, the Guardian must now travel into the [[Plaguelands]] to stop the spread of SIVA and the rabid Fallen sect who worship it, and maybe even discover what truly happened to the Iron Lords.
| |
| | |
| ===The Red War===
| |
| The [[Red Legion]], led by the Cabal warlord [[Dominus Ghaul]], used the [[Traveler Cage]] to trap the Traveler, strip all Guardians of their Light, and invade the Last City. The Guardian worked to reassemble the Vanguard, take back the Last City, and reclaim their Light from the [[Shard of the Traveler]]. They would eventually shut down a star-killing weapon called [[The Almighty]], defeat the Dominus, and reawaken the Traveler.
| |
| | |
| ===Curse of Osiris===
| |
| [[Osiris]], the infamous [[Warlock]] who was exiled, discovers a sinister plot by the Vex after the Traveler's reawakening following the death of Dominus Ghaul. He calls upon the Guardian to explore the [[Infinite Forest]] and confront the [[Panoptes, Infinite Mind|Vex Mind]] that wishes to threaten the world.
| |
| | |
| ===Warmind===
| |
| A rogue Hive [[Grasp of Nokris|brood]] has resurfaced after the Traveler's reawakening has caused the icecaps to melt near [[Hellas Basin]], the heart of [[Rasputin]]'s systems. The Guardian worked with [[Anastasia Bray|Ana Bray]] to discover her past and stop [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol]] and his [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn|herald]] from destroying Rasputin. In the end, Rasputin swears that he will protect humanity on his own terms.
| |
| | |

After eliminating the Scorn Barons, they would confront [[Uldren Sov]], who was corrupted by an [[Ahamkara]] named [[Riven of a Thousand Voices|Riven]] by posing as his sister, and kill him. Petra opened the [[Dreaming City]] to them and made contact with Queen Mara Sov, who orders them to [[Last Wish|slay]] Riven. '''Season of the Forge''' had a mysterious Exo named [[Ada-1]] task the Guardian with stopping a Fallen [[Kell's Scourge|crime syndicate]] from stealing [[Black Armory]] technology to be used against the Last City.

| |
| | |
| ===Beyond Light===
| |
| [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]], the leader of a new Fallen [[House of Salvation|House]] on Europa, gifts her followers the power of [[Stasis]]. To stop her and the Barons of this new House, the Guardian had to learn how to use the Darkness in defense of the Last City through Stasis taught by [[Elisabeth Bray|Elsie Bray]], aka the Exo Stranger. '''Season of the Hunt''' saw the Guardian work with Uldren Sov, now reborn as Crow, to track down and slay the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]], with its death giving Crow freedom from Spider's service. '''Season of the Chosen''' saw the Guardian engage in [[Rite of Proving|Rites of Proving]] in order to gain [[Empress Caiatl]]'s favor. '''Season of the Splicer''' had the Guardian seek out [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]]'s assistance in shutting down a Vex simulation that would threaten the Last City. '''Season of the Lost''' had Mara Sov task the Guardian with freeing the [[Techeun]]s lost within the [[Ley Line]]s from [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s forces in order for the exorcism to remove [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]'s worm to commence.
| |
| | |
| ===The Witch Queen===
| |
| The Guardian discovers something shocking while investigating Mars' reappearance: the Hive now have powers tied to the Light. They work with [[The Hidden|Hidden]] agents to discover how Savathûn was able to grant her [[Lucent Brood]] the Light. After thorough investigation, it is revealed that the Traveler willingly gave Savathûn the Light and that she is planning to move the Traveler into [[Court of Savathûn|her Throne World]] by using the powers she borrowed from the Witness. They stop her plans by showing the truth: the Witness tricked the Krill into accepting the Darkness and thus becoming the Hive. After her defeat, the war against the Witness begins and the Guardian confronts [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Rhulk]], the first [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple of the Witness]] inside [[The Sunken Pyramid|the Sunken Pyramid]].

| ===Lightfall===
| |
| The Witness's forces arrive on Earth's orbit and it discovers [[The Veil|the Veil]] is hidden in a [[Neomuna|city]] on Neptune after making contact with the Traveler. The Guardian was able to help the [[Cloud Strider]]s [[Rohan]] and [[Nimbus]] repel a siege orchestrated by the [[Shadow Legion]] and its leader, the newly-risen Disciple of the Witness, Calus. They would also learn the power of Strand in the process. Despite Calus's defeat, the Witness was able to begin its attempt to enact the [[Final Shape]] by using the Guardian's Ghost to connect the Veil to the Traveler and open a portal to the Traveler's Pale Heart. After stopping a resurrected Nezarec from haunting the citizens of Neomuna, they would soon learn from [[Soteria]]'s submind that an "[[Ahsa|enemy of the Witness]]" is hiding on Titan. '''Season of Defiance''' saw the Coalition forces work together to rescue prisoners captured by the Shadow Legion throughout Earth. '''Season of the Deep''' saw the Guardian assist Deputy Commander [[Sloane]] in forming a psychic connection with Ahsa so she can provide information regarding the Witness to the Vanguard and its allies. '''Season of the Witch''' had the Guardian help [[Immaru]] eliminate Xivu Arath before he can resurrect Savathûn, and the Vanguard get the instructions needed to follow the Witness inside the portal. '''Season of the Wish''' sees the Guardian make a bargain with the spirit of Riven to secure her and [[Taranis]]' eggs from the Sol Divisive, Scorn, and Taken to grant the 15th wish: a wish to safely bypass the portal. '''Into the Light''' serves as a seasonal interlude during which the Witness calls upon its forces in siege of the Last City, with [[Shaxx]] leading a counteroffensive to defend against the ensuing [[Onslaught]].

| | |
| ===The Final Shape===
| |
| After the 15th wish was granted by Riven and the Guardian clears the interference preventing Crow from entering the [[The Pale Heart|Pale Heart]] by destroying the Black Heart again, his paracausal connection with Mara allows them to safely cross the portal. The Vanguard and the Guardian would cross the portal, but become separated in the process. After successfully crossing through the portal, the Traveler guides the Guardian throughout the Pale Heart as the Witness attempts to enact its Final Shape by using both Light and Darkness to create a perfect stillness within the universe. They would eventually reunite with Cayde-6, Crow, and the Vanguard after the Guardian breaks the barrier between Light and Darkness through the discovery of [[Prismatic]]. After learning more about the Witness and its dissenters, they were able to wound it by entering a realm of Darkness and destroying the statues of its dissenters with the Light, but the Witness becomes enraged at the Vanguard’s refusal to join its side. They were forced to flee as the Witness transforms into a grotesque being, but Mara was able to bring the [[The Coalition|Coalition]] into the Pale Heart to prepare the Guardian for the assault on the Witness's monolith. After spending time with the Coalition allies and [[Micah-10]], then acquiring a final gift from the Traveler in the form of [[Ergo Sum]], they would begin their assault on the monolith and confront the Witness at the monolith’s summit. The Guardian was able to force the Witness out of the monolith and permanently prevent the Final Shape from being enacted, giving the Coalition an opportunity to defeat the Witness once and for all. The Coalition was finally able to defeat the Witness, ending the war but also creating paracausal artifacts called [[Echo (object)|Echo]]es that eventually falls into the possession of individuals such as the [[Maya Sundaresh|Conductor]] and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]].
