Oryx would have overrun the system were it not for the efforts of you, The Hunter Vanguard Mentor Cayde-6 and Eris Morn. The expansion also began with a battle over Saturn that saw Mara Sov, the Queen of the Awoken, supposedly die. The Taken are enemies that have been ripped out of our dimension, empowered by darkness and returned as compliant slaves of their overlord. The Taken were Oryx’s main force and they still exist in the system today although they are now commanded by Oryx’s sister Savathûn. We were able to track down their leader Skolas, who we eventually killed within The Prison of Elders in The Reef during a Trial in “the ways of old.” After this trial by combat, The House of Wolves was left shattered and leaderless and the relations between The Last City and the Awoken began to improve.Ī year after our resurrection as a Guardian, Crota’s father, Oryx, The Taken King, arrived in our system and bringing his army of Taken soldiers with him. The House of Wolves came from a race known as the Fallen, who commonly opposed humanity and who had previously even tried to invade the Last City en masse. In House of Wolves we assisted the Queen of the Awoken in tracking down the House of Wolves. In The Dark Below we prevented the Hive god Crota from conquering Earth with his army of Hive, and with the help of the fan favourite character Eris Morn were able to defeat him permanently in the Crota’s End raid. Later that same year we also undertook two more adventures in the The Dark Below and House of Wolves DLC packs. After gaining ingress we found and defeated The Heart of The Black Garden-a presence of The Darkness that The Vex of The Black Garden had taken to worshipping so as to become more powerful. After discovering The Black Garden’s location from the Awoken our journey led us to a massive Vex gate on Mars. This led us to the Awoken, a group of humans forged into a new race by Darkness and Light, who live mostly in The Asteroid Belt. The Exo Stranger directed us to find The Black Garden, where The Vex were born, and to defeat its dark heart. Upon arriving we discovered The Vex, who are best described as a microscopic race that pilot larger, humanoid mechanical frames and who are capable of time travel. Even though we learned that The Hive were planning to invade Earth, The Exo Stranger directed us to meet her on Venus so we could learn of an even greater threat. The Hive are an ancient enemy race that worship The Darkness and share its beliefs. In the process of our adventures we went to the moon and encountered both The Hive and The Exo Stranger. After making our way to The Last City we were directed by the leader of the Guardians, The Speaker, to push back The Darkness and its minions.

Our personal story started in Destiny 1, back in an old cosmodrome when we were resurrected as a Guardian by our Ghost.
