[b][i]Rezyl Azzir - Before these walls[/i][/b] [quote]Rezyl Azzir was a man. In time his kind would be called Titan. Mountains of muscle and might and metal. His collar was fur and teeth. His person clad and ornate, golden-etched plating, trophies upon his shoulders.[/quote] This clearly describes what class Rezyl is/was. [quote]This was before the City was the City. This is before the walls. Still in the shadow of the fragile giant above, but before. Salvation seekers came -- survivors; weary remnants of a people on the brink. These were the days before reason took hold. Before study was merged with belief. The Giant was looked to as one would a God. Maybe it still is.[/quote] Rezyl Azzir was one of the first Titans, a pioneer of the City and carpenter of the walls. A time when the City under the Traveler was a myth, when only small towns like Palamon barely survive. [quote]Factions grew from the huddled masses. Like minds coming together to provide support, comfort. Over time these loyalties demanded loyalty. Differences that used to inform -- viewpoints that when joined granted larger understandings of the whole -- became points of conflict. The sanctuary became divided. The shadow of Light grew darker. This, humanity's last oasis, slowly fading to a mirage. Great, powerful men and women, The Risen, stood at the Factions' sides. Protection. Enforcers. Misused possibility. Misery crept into this false paradise. Yet hope still lingered. Seeing the cracks in this society born beneath the giant's fractured shell, some among The Risen challenged the dissolution of all that could be. They would no longer serve as instruments of oppression. They would be more. Thus began an unnecessary war made necessary by greed, ambition... fear. And, in the chaos of this struggle, came the scavengers -- aliens with appetites. A common enemy.[/quote] The card, in this section, describes the Faction Wars and the end of them, made by The Risen. The Risen are also called Guardians. It also says "And, in the chaos of this struggle, came the scavengers -- aliens with appetites. A common enemy." This is the arrival of the Eliksni, or commonly referred to as the Fallen. [quote]In the end, the scavengers were repelled and the Factions fell, their grip broken, though their beliefs remained. This was the earliest days of the Guardians, when might found purpose. Prosperity was in reach. Rezyl was a champion of these wars. A leader. Against alien pirates he had seen more. If the giant wasn't a God, then maybe Rezyl was.[/quote] This states that Guardians prevailed against the Fallen, and the Factions disbanded. It also says that Rezyl was an important man in these wars. A great leader who may have been considered a God. [quote]As the first walls formed -- built of hard work and sacrifice -- Rezyl and the Guardians stood against the alien plunderers time and again. More survivors arrived. More warriors. The Guardian ranks swelled. The City grew. Hope blossomed. To Rezyl it was a currency. Hope bought tomorrow. Tomorrow bought the effort needed to survive today.[/quote] So, the first walls were built and more civilians showed up. More Guardians were awoken by Ghosts. The Cities population exploded. [quote]Yet Rezyl grew weary. Stories haunted his nights. Old stories. Those no longer told. Those locked behind tight lips for fear of what they may invoke. Whenever the sun dropped below the horizon and the moon rise high, Rezyl's thoughts wandered. How safe was safe? How long could they fight with the Darkness still writhing? So, every day Rezyl would fight and build and protect. And every day a city grew beneath the giant. And every night he would think about all that was never said and stare intently at the moon above.[/quote] This is the end of the card. It details why Rezyl Azzir did the things he did. He was afraid of what to come. Part 2: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/203736984?showBanned=0&path=0
