Shard of the Traveler

The Shard of the Traveler is an object that sits in the middle of the Blackened Forest in the EDZ. It is the source of the corruption growing in the area around it and in The Dark Forest. The player uses the shard to regain their Light during the Story Mission Spark. They also return here in the Quest with the same name to unlock a new subclass.

Gameplay
When the player has entered the Blackened Forest in the subclass missions, they will channel the Light of the Shard and gain access to their new subclass. Various enemies from the House of Dusk will then continually spawn, giving the player an opportunity to try out the abilities against weaker troops and bosses.

Trivia
It's currently unknown how the Shard ended up in the EDZ. It might have landed there during the Collapse, when the Darkness attacked it.
