"European Dead Zone was ground-zero for a cataclysmic event that left a massive shard of The Traveler — the source of every Guardian's power and immortality — embedded in the vast landscape. For years, only wild vegetation and the remains of an abandoned city were evidence of our forgotten past. Now, the Red Legion are using the European Dead Zone as a staging ground for their war machine."

— Website description

The European Dead Zone is a region on Earth. It is filled with ancient, predominately pre-Golden Age ruins. The Fallen House of Devils was known to have a presence there before their disappearance, presumably due to the SIVA outbreak which resulted in the SIVA Crisis. The region contains a massive shard of the Traveler that is used by Guardians to restore their Light abilities. It is now a major warzone between all known enemy races of the Guardians.

Overview

The Red Legion began occupying the Zone after The Last City was invaded. Guardians will travel to the European Dead Zone in order to reclaim their powers from the Traveler's shard that is within the Zone. The region contains several Lost Sectors and Adventures to partake in. An unknown faction of Fallen are also active in the Dead Zone. The Taken also continue to linger within the region, remnants from the Taken War. The Hive also lurk within the Dead Zone.

History

Following the invasion of The Last City, Dominus Ghaul deploys his forces to mobilize within the region, causing the region to become a major warzone between the Taken, Fallen, and Hive. Guardian forces have also fled to the Dead Zone in order to hide and recover from the invasion, establishing a new base of operations, The Farm.
