==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The Cabal [[Thresher]] that has crashed into the Blackened Forest only a short distance before the Shard was likely shot down by the [[Fallen]] who have now draped the banner of [[House of Dusk]] over the wreck. This is suggestive of the [[Red Legion]] attempting to seize the Shard in the EDZ, explaining their presence in the region, but being denied control of it by the Fallen, and subsequently the Guardians. | |||
*in the area immediately in front of the Shard is a large and prominently displayed [[House of Judgement]] banner, hinting at the role of [[House of Judgement]] inside the united Fallen house, the [[House of Dusk]] which is also shown in this mission to include former [[House of Wolves]] members such [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed]], and is implied elsewhere to also include former [[House of Devils]] and [[House of Winter]] members. The full meaning of the banner's display is not known, but when combined with it's purpose as a "threat" or warning, as described by [[Devrim Kay]] in Ghost Scan EDZ-TL-4, and the fact that the Fallen were in control of the Shard and were defending it against incursions by the Cabal and Guardians, suggests they had also received a vision from the Shard and were seeking to be reestablish a connection to the Light. | |||
* The name of the area called The Blackened Forrest, when combined with the area's setting being in the [[European Dead Zone]] and having the majority of signage and place-names written in German is likely a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest Black Forrest]] in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. | * The name of the area called The Blackened Forrest, when combined with the area's setting being in the [[European Dead Zone]] and having the majority of signage and place-names written in German is likely a reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest Black Forrest]] in the state of Baden-Württemberg in Germany. | ||
*The widespread presence of floating stones throughout the Blackened Forest as a result of the Shard of the Traveler and either the power of the Light or of the Corruption inside it has curious parallel's in the floating stones seen in some [[Hive]] locations, particularly [[Titan (moon)|Titan]]. [[Ghost Scans]] TM-TA-2 and TM-SD-3 both describe the floating rocks as the byproduct of Hive magic and the weakening of boundaries between worlds. This raises numerous questions in its relation to the Shard of the Traveler. | |||
