'''Echo Mesa''' is a [[Destination]] on [[Io]]. It was the site of the [[Traveler]]'s final terraforming efforts before the [[Collapse]], and centuries later remains imbued with great stores of the [[Traveler]]'s energy. It has long been held as a sacred site for [[Guardian]]s, especially [[Warlock]]s.

==Overview==
In the final days of the [[Golden Age]], after terraforming much of the [[Solar System]], including [[Mars]], [[Venus]] and [[Mercury]], for humanity's benefit, the [[Traveler]] moved to the icy, volcanic moon of [[Io]], in [[Jupiter]]'s orbit. Settling at the foot of Echo Mesa, the Traveler set about transferring some of its energy into the moon to render it hospitable for life, while in the process partially constructing a structure known as the [[Cradle]]. Its work was interrupted by the arrival of the [[Darkness]] and the onset of the [[Collapse]]. The Traveler fled to [[Earth]] and made its final stand, leaving [[Io]] only partially habitable.

During the [[City Age]], the Guardians came to view [[Io]] as a sacred site and conducted many pilgrimages there to revere and study the [[Traveler]]'s last feat. That ended with the arrival of the [[Red Legion]] and the start of the [[Red War]]. In the absence of the [[Guardian]]s' stewardship, Echo Mesa was invaded by the [[Cabal]], who sought to study the reservoir of the [[Traveler]]'s energy, the [[Vex]], who initiated efforts to make [[Io]] another machine world, and even the [[Taken]], who began draining the energy reservoir for their own purposes.

Almost 3 years after the Red War, the [[Black Fleet]] [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrived]] in the Solar System, with [[Pyramid (Io)|one]] coming to rest directly above the Cradle and sending [[Pyramid Scale]]s to the nearby Echo Mesa.
