Thousands of combat Frames | After waking [[Rasputin]], and the ill-fated attempt by Lord [[Felwinter]] to communicate with the [[Warmind]], with promises of peace and goodwill belied by the army of the Iron Lords assembling in the Cosmodrome for a fight, Rasputin activated his defences and the battle commenced. Thousands of combat Frames and SIVA Constructs moved to their positions, preparing an ambush for the Iron Lords as they advanced through the canyon between the Lord's Watch and the Giant's Husk on their coastal route to Site-6 and the Replication Chamber. Great tendrils of SIVA nanites exploded out of the depths of their underground confinement, as Rasputin's will made them break through their restraints, smashing through rock and stone as they exploded up out of what is now the Archon's Keep and began to race across the coast towards the battle that had broken out at the tanker. | ||

The Lords ducked and scattered for cover as the narrow space filled with the echoing discharge of weaponry, each of them a legendary warrior in their own right, together they would be unstoppable. A fierce battle raged as the ground became slick with blood and machine oil, as ammunition ran low. Then the tendrils hit. Exploding through the old tanker as the densely packed swarms of SIVA nanites bounded across the coastal plane towards them, they engulfed the Iron Lords, encircling them and cutting them off from each other in the confusion, as the brutal order of professional violence gave way to the frantic chaos of a route. [[SIVA]] coiled and thrashed about like an enraged monster, crushing Ghosts<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA|SIVA]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.0|Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.0]]''</ref> everywhere it found them hovering over their fallen Guardians, while its nodes spewed forth new swarms of the nanites, enveloping the Iron Lords in the red and buzzing clouds that angrily wormed their way through every nook and cranny in their armor.

In the meantime, those still trapped by the swarm and the hundreds upon hundreds of frames flooding back into the area attempted to fight a rear guard action to buy time with their last stands for their brothers and sisters to escape. Some, such as the carrier of an Iron Medallion managed to scale the cliffs and gain a brief reprieve out of the chaos below before they two were cornered and killed. [[Colovance|Lord Colovance]], unable to escape from the tanker that would soon be his grave fought on until he ran out of ammunition, never giving up in the melee that followed against the hundreds of frames, and his own fallen comrades being puppeteered by SIVA like violent rag-dolls against the living until he could go on no further. His Light was not enough.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA|SIVA]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.1|Dorman SIVA: Iron Lords 2.1]]''</ref> | ||
The rest of the Iron Lords, enjoying the brief respite the sacrifice of Lord Colovance and the others had bought them in their escape, took the opportunity to plan their next actions.

SIVA was now a far greater threat than anything they had previously imagined and too great a threat to the City in the hands of Rasputin for them to simply retreat. SIVA and the Replication Chamber they had wished to use for the good of humanity, now had to be destroyed to save humanity from its past creations and the dangers they represented. Lady [[Jolder]] would lead a strike force on an alternative route to Site-6 to destroy the Replication Chamber, which included the Lords [[Felwinter]], [[Gheleon]] and [[Saladin Forge]], while the warlock Tinasha-3, known to her fellow Iron Lords as Lady [[Ashraven]] would secure the nearby Bunker Triglav and take command of its artillery overlooking the battlefield. Then, with the bunker secured and the guns online, the Ashraven force would hold out against Rasputin as long as they could to distract the Warmind's forces from Jolder's group while they secretly closed on Site-6 to destroy the Chamber, and contain SIVA.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA|SIVA]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.3|Dorman SIVA: Iron Lords 2.3]]''</ref> | ||
The plan approved and the ravenous, serpent-like tendrils of SIVA approaching once more, the Iron Lords moved out, though not without another final separation and a desperate rear-guard action fought to buy the time needed for Jolder to escape, and Ashraven to secure Bunker Triglav, and to train its guns on the enemy swarm. In an instant SIVA was upon them, shooting up the cliff face as the tendrils lashed out at this rear guard, the tendrils coiling about and forming shapes to grapple with the Lords, driving them back from the ledge and opening the way for the Frame army to continue their advance.<ref name="DS27"/> | The plan approved and the ravenous, serpent-like tendrils of SIVA approaching once more, the Iron Lords moved out, though not without another final separation and a desperate rear-guard action fought to buy the time needed for Jolder to escape, and Ashraven to secure Bunker Triglav, and to train its guns on the enemy swarm.

Helplessly the guns were abandoned as the SIVA tendrils stormed the cliffs and took over the guns, while their defenders fled inside the Bunker and tried to barricade the entrances.

Every second was defiance. Life. As SIVA sprawls through the entranceway, new tendrils breakthrough from the floor and ceiling. The doorway to the gun emplacement is ripped open as a column shoots through it and more tendrils, like thrashing snakes, coil and whip and charge at them from the front and behind, from above and below while the nanites swarm by the millions, blotting out the bunker's lighting in an angry cloud of red destruction. But every second of defiance brings Jolder's group closer to victory. They fight on. They die. By their Medallions, you remember them. | ||

Jolder and what is left of her contingent fight their way through the ravines of the Forgotten Pass, now with dramatically reduced amounts of SIVA in pursuit while they make their way over the bridge, where another lord dies and drops their Medallion, possibly in another delaying action. They reach the area of what is now the Archon's Keep, where the entrance to Site-6 is discovered, likely by following the SIVA tendrils remaining from the start of the battle back down underground to their source. Two more Lords fall, leaving their Medallions behind outside the Archon's Keep and deep underground, past the twisting, SIVA-infected caverns, in Site-6 itself. | ||
