In the first years after the [[Collapse]], a time before the rise of the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Last City]], some of the earliest Guardians to be revived chose not to protect the world, but subjugate it.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref> Taking over various parts of the planet, some Guardians became [[Warlord]]s and injustice reigned, with the rest of the populace living under the tyranny of the various factions. Eventually, Guardians with integrity chose to stand up to their tyrannical brethren and form the Iron Lords.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref> More and more noble Guardians joined the cause until an army hundreds strong was formed and the oppressive warlords were deposed, along with the [[Fallen]] who ravaged the [[Earth]]. One former [[Warlord]], Lord Felwinter, was swayed by the Iron Lord's message and decided to join their cause.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref>
In the time immediately following the [[Collapse]], before the rise of the [[Vanguard]] and the [[Last City]], some [[Risen]] chose not to protect humanity, but subjugate it.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref> They became [[Warlord]]s who ruled over vast swathes of [[Earth]]. Injustice reigned as the remnants of humankind struggled to survive under their tyranny. Eventually, Lightbearers with integrity chose to stand up to their cruel brethren and form the Iron Lords: the first Risen that could be called [[Guardians]].<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref> As they triumphed over notorious Warlords, word of them spread. Noble Guardians continued to join the Iron Lords until they were an army, hundreds strong.


Following the Warlord conflict, the Iron Lords dedicated themselves to defending survivors of the [[Collapse]] and restoring civilization. The Iron Lords protected the newly constructed walls of the [[City]] in the infamous Battle of [[Six Fronts]] against six Fallen approaches, and not a single front faltered.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Mark of the Six Fronts]]''</ref> During this conflict, the Iron Lords were known for their invincible patrols and their contributions to the great Wall-Building, cementing their legend.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Iron Banner|Iron Banner]]''</ref>
The Warlords could not match their strength and were deposed. To ensure their despotism was ended permanently, many Iron Lords inflicted final deaths by destroying their foes' Ghosts. Yet not every Warlord was slain. One former [[Warlord]], Lord Felwinter, was swayed by the Iron Lords' message and decided to join their cause.<ref name = "What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition">'''Gameinformer, [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2016/08/24/what-s-going-on-in-destiny-s-story-2016-edition.aspx?PostPageIndex=3 What's Going On In Destiny's Story – 2016 Edition]'''</ref>


Seeking a way to rebuild what was lost during the Collapse, they eventually found [[SIVA]]. Hoping it would be able to build ships and colonies, the Iron Lords pushed through the [[Cosmodrome]] despite [[Rasputin]]'s desperate attempts to sway them and suffered the loss of hundreds of Lords to a combination of aerial strikes, a [[Frame]] army, and SIVA constructs.<ref>'''https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''</ref> Ultimately, the venture would result in the loss of all save for [[Saladin Forge]] and [[Efrideet]], who had disappeared to live in the wilds beyond the city. The eight Iron Lords who made it, save for Lord Saladin, sacrificed themselves to contain the biomechanical plague by sealing themselves within its replication chamber before it had time to escape.<ref>'''https://www.bungie.net/en/pub/RiseOfIron'''</ref> The sacrifices of the most well-known Lords are honored at the [[Iron Temple]] atop [[Felwinter Peak]], and celebrated in the [[Iron Banner]] tournament. The names of their signature weapons are lent to various Iron Banner equipment, such as the Felwinter's Lie [[Shotgun]] and the Jolder's Hammer [[Machine Gun]]. The second generation of the Lords, the [[Iron Wolves]], and their weapons are likewise honored by the Iron Banner.

The '''Iron Wolves''' were a group of [[Guardian]]s who were the [[Iron Lords]]'s second generation after their inception and came to the [[Last City]]'s defense during one of its darkest hours. Like their counterparts, the Wolves were felled in what would become The [[Plaguelands]] during the first war with SIVA. The [[Iron Banner]] tournament is held in honor of both the Iron Lords and the Iron Wolves.<ref>[http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/3841951818 '''Planet Destiny''' - ''Wolfswood Bond'']</ref><ref name="WolfswoodCloak">[http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/1722532281 '''Planet Destiny''' - ''Wolfswood Cloak'']</ref><ref>[http://db.planetdestiny.com/items/view/825392783 '''Planet Destiny''' - ''Wolfswood Mark'']</ref>
