the unexpected, channeling their powers by intuition and gut
instinct.
-----
TITAN

Armored Engine of War - Their lightning-charged fists will knock
you off your feet. Their armor and shields make them nearly

protecting us from our countless enemies. But their power and
resolve gives them the air of rising Gods.
-------
WARLOCK
-------
Wielder of Arcane Power - They've found a way to weaponize their
curiosity, harnessing the Traveler's light in patterns never
before imagined. Warlocks are not passive scholars of the
unknown. These are mystic warriors, capable of incredible acts of
devastation.

DESTINATIONS
************
-----
EARTH
-----
Our home. After the Darkness swept over us, we found the
Traveler where it made its last stand. Beneath, we built The City
– our last – within its protective aura. From here, Guardians
stand watch, defend our civilization, and strike out into the
wild frontiers of Earth – and beyond – to recl our lost
worlds.
----
MARS
----
What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth. We built a
massive metropolis in the red dust. The Darkness swept nearly all
of it away; the sand itself cled the rest. No one knows what
remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes.
----
MOON
----
Like Earth, the ruins of humanity's former glory can be found
scattered across the familiar lunar surface. Recent exploration
attempts have been repulsed, reporting increased enemy activity,
and even strange tectonic phenomenon. The City has since
classified the Moon as a "Forbidden Zone," open only to our most
brave and experienced Guardians.
-----
VENUS
-----
Venus was once the site of great discovery – a paradise. Now, it
is a monument to all that we have lost. The old stories say we
built an academy dedicated to learning and research on the shore
of a wondrous sea, and that the waters themselves boiled and rose
up to shatter the coast, washing away all that we had built.
*******
ENEMIES
*******
-----
CABAL
-----
Few Guardians have faced Cabal and lived to tell the tale. They
are a professional operation. On every front we have
found them on the march, they have already dug in and ringed
their installations with razor wire. Now, it seems they've turned
their eyes towards us.
------
FALLEN
------
Fallen are hardy creatures who can survive in a wide range of
environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to
their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone
before you know it. Fallen may look like mere scavengers, but on
closer inspection you will see hints of a splendid, sophisticated
past, and the proud markings of their ancestral "Houses."
----
HIVE
----
Hive manipulate the physical world in ways that we can only
begin to imagine. The Hive have carved a kingdom deep into the
lifeless core of the Moon, and it is there they remain, silent
and buried among many dark and terrible secrets, a reminder of
the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.
---
VEX
---
Scattered reports indicate that the Vex appear to be
mass-produced machine units, constructed of an unknown metal
alloy resembling hammered brass. All attempts to communicate with
them have failed. They are hostile. They are unrelenting. They
are deadly.
