The '''European Dead Zone''', also known as the '''EDZ''' or simply '''Dead Zone''', is a region on [[Earth]].<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=2 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref> | The '''European Dead Zone''', also known as the '''EDZ''' or simply '''Dead Zone''', is a region on [[Earth]].<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=2 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref> The EDZ is filled with ruins dating back to the [[Golden Age]] and earlier, but one of its most notable landmarks is a massive [[shard of the Traveler]] that was broken off of the [[Traveler]] during the [[Collapse]]. The [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] was known to have a presence in the EDZ before their disappearance due to the [[SIVA Crisis]]. By the time of the [[Red War]], the [[Fallen]] had returned to the area under a [[House of Dusk|new banner]] and their presence, combined with that of a [[Cabal]] occupational force and [[Taken]] remnants, transformed the EDZ into a warzone. | ||

The [[Red Legion]] began occupying the Zone after [[The Last City]] was invaded. Guardians | The [[Red Legion]] began occupying the Zone after [[The Last City]] was [[Red War|invaded]]. Guardians began to travel to the European Dead Zone in order to reclaim their powers from the [[Shard of the Traveler|Traveler's shard]] found there. The region contains many [[Lost Sector]]s, [[Patrol]]s, and [[Public Event]]s to partake in, as well as twenty-one Region Chests to find. The [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] are also active in the Dead Zone, as well as [[Taken]] remnants from the [[Taken War]] who continue to linger within the region.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52CS6N1Gkkc</ref> | ||

Some time ago, possibly during the [[Collapse]], an unknown event occurred that left a massive [[shard of the Traveler]] stuck in the EDZ. This shard caused the region to become completely deserted, save for some [[human]] [[Suraya Hawthorne|explorers]]. | Some time ago, possibly during the [[Collapse]], an unknown event occurred that left a massive [[shard of the Traveler]] stuck in the EDZ.

Following the invasion of [[The Last City]], [[Dominus Ghaul]] | Following the invasion of [[The Last City]], [[Dominus Ghaul]] deployed his forces to mobilize within the region, causing the region to become a major warzone between the [[Taken]], [[Fallen]], and [[Cabal]]. Guardian forces also fled to the Dead Zone in order to hide and recover from the invasion, establishing [[The Farm]] as a new base of operations. However once the Last City was reclaimed the EDZ became a bastion for the remnants of the [[Red Legion]], who over the course of several [[Adventure]]s and questlines across the years, have attempted to regain a foothold on Earth to little effect. | ||
