New Monarchy is one of the factions of the Guardians of the City. It is an organization dedicated to the City and attempts to bring back the Golden Age. It also gathers recruits in the Tower for participation in the Crucible.[1] Leaders of the faction are called Executors.
History
The New Monarchy rose from the chaos of the Faction Wars with a simple, inclusive guiding tenet: "Together we will rise." Leery of the fragile state of the City's politics, the New Monarchy maintains a watchful eye on the Speaker, the Consensus, and the Vanguard, seeking the leadership that will properly reign over the City and return civilization to its Golden Age splendor. To New Monarchy, if that leadership cannot be found, then it must be created. Members of New Monarchy are known for their ambition, drive and executive legal powers, New Monarchy arms and supplies the City's Guardians who are willing to fight to reclaim the solar system.
Despite being wary of the Consensus, New Monarchy and the Guardians who pledged themselves to the faction are credited for laying the killing blow to the traitor Lysander and his Concordat, who sought to overthrow the Consensus and the Speaker, at Bannerfall.
Following the onset of the Red War and the reclamation of the Last City from the Red Legion, New Monarchy is beginning to struggle in gaining new followers, as a new "power to the people" feeling began to spread to the populace. Some even began to steal supplies from New Monarchy, suggesting to follow "Hawthorne's lead". Despite this, New Monarchy has set up a recruiting stand and base of operations in the Bazaar, opposite of the hangar in the new Tower area.
Beliefs
New Monarchy is a staunchly pro-City faction that believes in law and order. They hope to rebuild the Golden Age and believe in humanity's ability to overcome their current hardships. While the Faction Wars may have ended with the establishment of the Consensus, New Monarchy still aims to place a Monarch in charge of the City in place of the currently fragile alliance between factions.[2]
The Seven Tenets
- To secure our walls from the enemies without.
- To secure the rights and liberties of every upstanding citizen.
- To sponsor the sciences of the City, and salvage the ruins beyond, so that our Golden Age might be reborn.
- To support the Guardian Orders by leading the City in technological innovations.
- To support the natural harmony of the City, and to actively dissuade any group or individual that might disrupt that harmony.
- To hold all individuals, compacts, and alliances to the highest standards of productivity and right behavior.
- To, by vote of the Consensus, abolish the Consensus, and transfer ultimate power, in order that the rights and liberties of all citizens be secured, to a single sovereign of unimpeachable character.[3]

Quotes
- "What separates us from the Darkness? It is neither our technology nor our strength in battle. It is our minds, civilization and potential. Why else would the Traveler have chosen us? The Last City can be more than a cradle of refugees. It cries out for a guiding hand that can bring out its best."
