| The '''City''' is the final bastion of [[Human|humanity]]. Located somewhere on [[Earth]], the City was built and is located directly under the floating [[Traveler]] to take advantage of its protective shields.<ref name="city">[http://www.bungie.net/en-us/destiny#page=story&panel=story-The-City '''Bungie.net''': ''The City'']</ref><ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_Pathways-Out-Of-Darkness/en-us/News/News?aid=10241 '''Bungie.net''': ''Pathways out of Darkness'']</ref> The City was slowly built after the [[Collapse]]<ref name = "Shooter"/>, 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 [[Guardian]]s.<ref>[http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en/game/story '''Bungie''' ''Destiny Story'']</ref> Surrounding it is a massive wall built by the first [[Titan]]s to assist in keeping out enemies.

| |
| | |
| ==Government==
| |
| The City is inhabited by humans, [[Awoken]] and [[Exo]]s, who worked together in the time following the Golden Age to build the city and its defenses.<ref name="city"/> The City was once embroiled by a bitter war between the different [[faction]]s 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]] taking on an advisory role.<ref name="GF">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Factions|Factions]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Engagements==
| |
| Besides the Faction Wars, the City had been embroiled in two major battles. The first was the [[Battle of Six Fronts]], when four orders of Titans had to defend the walls against six enemy approaches. The second and far more devastating one, was the [[Battle of Twilight Gap]]. The full might of the [[Fallen]] Houses descended upon the City as countless Guardians fell, but were eventually routed from the City.
| |
| | |
| ==Districts==
| |
| The City is divided into several districts, not all of which are known. Shuttles periodically transport passengers between the City's districts and the [[Tower]].<ref name="Watch Announcements">'''Bungie (2015-2-14)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard:'' Loudspeaker announcements in Tower Watch</ref>
| |
| | |
| *'''The Core''' - the City's central area, directly beneath the Traveler. The Hall of [[Consensus]] is located here.<ref name="Watch Announcements"/>
| |
| *'''Core East'''<ref name="Watch Announcements"/>
| |
| *'''Core South'''<ref name="Watch Announcements"/>
| |
| *'''Military District''' - the location of the [[Future War Cult]] clubhouse.<ref name="Watch Announcements"/>
| |
| *'''District 125'''<ref name="Watch Announcements"/>
| |
| *'''City Perimeter''' - the land surrounding the City proper, just beyond its walls. [[Twilight Gap]], a valley where the City's Guardians repelled a [[Fallen]] invasion force, is located here.
| |
| | |
| After Twilight Gap, the districts nearest the City walls were abandoned.<ref name = "City Age 2">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]], Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Ghost Fragment: The City Age 2|Ghost Fragment: The City Age 2]]</ref> Most of the Towers located on the wall were also abandoned for general use, though some such as [[Bannerfall]] were repurposed for the [[Crucible]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The location of the City has been the source of much speculation. One theory, based on the movements of the Sun and the local geography, suggests that the City is located in Nepal.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/38nbqq/the_last_city_is_pokhara_nepal/ '''Reddit''': The Last City is Pokhara, Nepal]</ref> This would place the City in relatively close proximity to the [[Cosmodrome]] in Khazakstan, while benefitting from the natural defenses of the Himilaya mountains.
