The Iron Lords are a group of Guardians who are honored during the Iron Banner.[1] 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.[2] Taking over various parts of the planet, some Guardians became Warlords and injustice reigned. Eventually, Guardians with integrity chose to stand up to their tyrannical brethren and form the Iron Lords.[2] More and more noble Guardians joined the cause until an an army hundreds strong was formed and the oppressive warlords were deposed.[2]
Following the conflict, the Iron Lords dedicated themselves to defending survivors of the Collapse and restoring civilization. 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 even the loss of hundreds of Lords to a combination of aerial strikes, a Frame army, and SIVA constructs.[3] Ultimately, the venture would result in the loss of all save for Saladin Forge and Efrideet. The other Iron Lords sacrificed themselves to contain the biomechanical plague by sealing themselves within its replication chamber before it had time to escape.[4] 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. The second generation of the Lords, the Iron Wolves, and their weapons are likewise honored by the Iron Banner.
Following the SIVA Crisis, a new generation of Guardians has taken up the mantle of the Iron Lords.
