- "This was our world, our solar system. We were here first. And no matter what the darkness brings, we will be here at the dawn."
- — —Grimoire card blurb
Humanity is a sapient species native to the planet Earth.[1]
Overview
The remaining humans are all that survive of a race whose reach once spanned the Solar System, having descended from those who endured the apocalyptic Collapse. [2] Since then, they have fought to restore our toppled civilization to its Golden Age splendor [3] — first by the legendary Iron Lords, [4] and more recently by the Guardians. [5]
History
During the 21st Century, humanity made first contact with the mysterious entity that would later come to be known as the Traveler, the arrival of which ushered in a centuries-long Golden Age that saw humans colonize the newly remade worlds of Sol including Mercury, Venus, Mars, [6] and even the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. [7] [8]
But this Golden Age would not last. Unbeknownst to humanity, the Traveler had an ancient enemy; [6] a powerful Darkness that precipitated the Collapse and nearly wiped out mankind, [9] if not for the intervention of the Traveler who sacrificed itself to push back the assailing Darkness. [10] And with its dying breath, the Traveler created Ghosts [11] to seek out those worthy of carrying on its task. [12]
In the dark decades after the Collapse, [13] Humans, Exos, and Awoken found the Traveler where it made its last stand and built the City [14] beneath its shadow. [15] Thus, from an age of chaos and death, the City Age began. [16]
Though its tenuous peace [17] lasted for the better part of a hundred years, [18] the City Age would ultimately come to a shattering end in the wake of the devastating Cabal invasion; with the heroic deeds of The Guardian bringing an end to the Red Legion's siege [19] and marking the dawn of a new Golden Age. [20]
