The City is the final bastion of humanity. Located somewhere on Earth, the City was built and is located directly under the floating Traveler to take advantage of its protective shields.[1][2] The City was slowly rebuilt after the Collapse[3], marking the end of the Dark Age and the beginning of the City Age; countless wars were fought to keep the peace, and from this era of strife rose the Guardians.[4] Surrounding it is a massive wall built by the first Titans to assist in keeping out enemies. Along this wall is the Tower, the headquarters for the Guardians.[3] They have defended the City for centuries, but this defense cannot last indefinately.[5]
The City is inhabited by humans, Awoken and Exos, who worked together in the time following the Golden Age to build the city and its defenses.[1] The City was once embroiled by a bitter war between the different factions of the City, until the Guardians stepped in and ended the violence. Now, it is ruled by a Consensus of the factions, with the Speaker as its head and the Vanguard as advisors. [6] The City's location is visibly forested and bordered to the north by enormous snowcapped mountains.[citation needed]
