With their new recruits gathered, Saladin and his comrades began their [[Warlord Conflict|campaign]] against the Warlords. They quickly developed a reputation as defenders of humanity and several Warlords joined their cause, including [[Felwinter]], who donated his stronghold on [[Felwinter Peak]] to be their headquarters.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lord_Felwinter|Lord Felwinter]]''</ref> Saladin was amongst the most honored of the lords and frequently joined his comrades in combating the warlords by defending towns under their control. Alongside Radegast and Perun, he traveled to a village ruled by Warlord [[Segoth]]. They confronted him when Segoth arrived at the village to punish the citizens for sheltering the Iron Lords, holding higher ground as Segoth and eight of his followers arrived on [[Pike]]s in a narrow pass that only allowed three to approach at a time. Segoth derided them as "Iron Wolves", causing Saladin to shout at him to cease his insults, although Perun admitted she liked the moniker. Unamused, the Warlord ordered them to leave and declared the people there his, but they refused to abandon the civilians to his rule. As Segoth smiled and shrugged at their response, Saladin raised his shield at Perun's command alongside his two comrades as the hostile Lightbearers opened fire. Although the heavy fire pushed them back, their shields protected them, and the Iron Lords returned fire, quickly cutting down the trapped enemy. As Segoth revived, one of his bullets struck Radegast in the head, and Saladin provided covering fire for Perun to help his Ghost revive the Iron Lords leader. Each of the Iron Lords fell several times, but their shield wall never broke, and Segoth eventually retreated, vowing to kill them and all who aided them as the town cheered Saladin and his comrades.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Iron_Lords#Lady_Perun|Lady Perun]]''</ref> | With their new recruits gathered, Saladin and his comrades began their [[Warlord Conflict|campaign]] against the Warlords.

{{Quote|The Fallen's southern approach has broken. The City holds.|Saladin at the conclusion of the battle}} | |||
The efforts of the Iron Lords allowed the creation of [[The Last City]] under the protection of the [[Traveler]]. As thousands of survivors and Lightbearers flocked to the growing city, it became a target for the Fallen. Alongside his fellow Iron Lords, Saladin traveled to defend the Last City alongside its [[Guardian]]s. Saladin commanded the city's southern walls from the Fallen assault, which nearly overwhelmed the Guardian's defenses several times. However, the defenders eventually drove the Fallen armies into retreat. As communications were reestablished, Saladin heard [[Osiris]], [[Saint-14]], and Shaxx declare that each of their sectors were secure. As Shaxx announced he would march to reinforce the southern walls, Saladin informed them that he had broken the Fallen's assault and that the City was saved. As the defenders contemplated their victory, Shaxx joyously mocked the Fallen for believing they would simply wipe out the City, and Saladin joined the others in laughing. Osiris reported all fireteams were accounted for, and Saint credited the [[Titan]] [[Elriq]] for helping him save eight Guardians during dozens of charges against the Fallen. Saladin was impressed by the young Titan and asked how many times he died in the fight, but Saint revealed that he and Elriq had both survived the battle without falling.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Pigeon_and_the_Phoenix#10:_War_Stories|War Stories]]''</ref> | |||
