"The Darkness may have been destroyed, but the battle is far from over."
Ikora Rey

Season of the Black Swordsman is the twentieth season of Destiny 2 and the flagship season of the Paradox expansion, occurring from September 6th, 2022 till December 6th, 2022. It revolves around the union of the Light and Darkness to the Solar System and the rise of a new Fallen house.

OverviewEdit

LINK START.

"Entire planets have rallied and helped you fight back against the Darkness and end the Apocalypse. The Shadowkeepers may have been defeated, but in the chaos that follows, Arveks, the Fallen Kell of Rogues, boldly moves to seize power, and this time, he and his Fallen army have teamed up with Taox, the Traitor Mother of Oryx, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath, and her armies of Helium Drinkers and Heliumborn to lead an onslaught from within the outskirts of the Town of Beginnings, seeking to lay waste to the Cosmodrome. If left unchecked, they threaten a solar system already in turmoil. While investigating the growing threat, Ikora Rey finds herself in need of help. Fortunately, new – and yet familiar – allies known as Kazuto, Stacia, and the Crow join you in the rescue..."[1]

TAKE UP THE SWORD.

Fallen shrines are appearing throughout the system. Koriks and both the House of Flame and Nightcore Syndicate have sensed the effects of this great disturbance and want to help you bring an end to Arveks's siege against Earth. Work with them and Eris Morn to build a device that will draw Arveks's lieutenants out of hiding. Once constructed, upgrade your Necklace, snare your prey, and challenge the Fallen usurper.
