{{Quote|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''', also known as the '''EDZ''', 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> It is filled with ruins dating to the [[Golden Age]] and earlier, but one of its most notable landmarks is a massive shard of the [[Traveler]] that was sundered 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 new banner, and their presence combined with that of a [[Cabal]] occupational force, [[Taken]] remnants, and [[Hive]], have made the EDZ a major warzone.

==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 found there. The region contains several [[Lost Sector]]s and [[Adventure]]s to partake in. The Fallen [[House of Dusk]] are also active in the Dead Zone. The [[Taken]] also continue to linger within the region, remnants from the [[Taken War]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52CS6N1Gkkc</ref> 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]].

==Trivia==
*In late 2013, the European Dead Zone was a major location planned for the [[Comet]] that would eventually become ''[[The Taken King]]''. Along with [[Europa]], the area was never completed and was later dropped from the expansion in March 2014 when Bungie decided to focus on the [[Dreadnaught]].<ref name = "Messy">[http://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 '''Kotaku''' - ''The Messy, True Story Behind The Making Of Destiny'']</ref>
*The European Dead Zone is the largest playable space ever created by [[Bungie]].
*The European Dead Zone has a significant amount of [[Lost Sector]]s and [[Adventure]]s.
*The European Dead Zone houses the most amount of enemies so far: 4 altogether, which include [[Hive]], [[Fallen]], [[Cabal]] and [[Taken]].
