Black Garden

"A trillion timelines, and all at war. Like a thousand red flowers growing in a black garden."

- Lakshmi-2

The Black Garden is a mysterious location which is not of any known space or time, and the birthplace of the Vex. A Vex portal to this location is on Mars. Guardians have to bring and wake Zydron, Gate Lord`s Eye to enter the gate of the garden, and destroy its heart, protected by Vex worshipers and the Sol Progeny. The destruction of its heart will heal the Traveler, lifting the shroud of Darkness and allowing Light to return to the Traveler.

Long before any living being ever set foot in the Garden, tales of its existence were told throughout the system. In particular, the Warlock Pujari had a vision of the Garden when he drowned in the waters of the Shores of Time.

Accessibility
The Black Garden is accessible through Mars, but is not part of Mars itself, and seemingly exists in its own separate plane. As a result, the Black Garden is only accessible in specific activities and cannot be visited during patrol mode.
