The '''European Dead Zone''', also known as the '''EDZ''' or simply '''Dead Zone''', is a region on [[Earth]], and a [[Destination]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.<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> The EDZ is filled with ruins dating back to the [[Golden Age]] and earlier, but one of its most notable landmarks is a massive [[shard of the Traveler]] that was broken off of the [[Traveler]] 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 [[House of Dusk|new banner]] and their presence, combined with that of a [[Cabal]] occupational force and [[Taken]] remnants, transformed the EDZ into a warzone.

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 and [[Taken]] remnants, has made the EDZ into a warzone.


==Overview==
==Overview==
The [[Red Legion]] began occupying the Zone after [[The Last City]] was [[Red War|invaded]]. Guardians began to travel to the European Dead Zone in order to reclaim their powers from the [[Shard of the Traveler|Traveler's shard]] found there. The region contains many [[Lost Sector]]s, [[Patrol]]s, and [[Public Event]]s to partake in, as well as twenty-one Region Chests to find. The [[Fallen]] [[House of Dusk]] are also active in the Dead Zone, as well as [[Taken]] remnants from the [[Taken War]] who continue to linger within the region.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52CS6N1Gkkc</ref>

==History==
==History==
Some time ago, possibly during the [[Collapse]], an unknown event occurred that left a massive [[shard of the Traveler]] stuck in the EDZ. This shard caused the region to become completely deserted, save for some [[human]] [[Suraya Hawthorne|explorers]].
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]].
 
Following the invasion of [[The Last City]], [[Dominus Ghaul]] deployed his forces to mobilize within the region, causing the region to become a major warzone between the [[Taken]], [[Fallen]], and [[Cabal]]. Guardian forces also fled to the Dead Zone in order to hide and recover from the invasion, establishing [[The Farm]] as a new base of operations. However once the Last City was reclaimed the EDZ became a bastion for the remnants of the [[Red Legion]], who over the course of several [[Adventure]]s and questlines across the years, have attempted to regain a foothold on Earth to little effect.

==Trivia==
*In late 2013, the European Dead Zone was a major location planned for the [[Comet]] which 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 names ''[[wikipedia:Zervreilahorn|Zervreilahorn]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Grisons|Graubünden]]'' can be seen on motorway signs around the EDZ. The former is a mountain in [[wikipedia:Switzerland|Switzerland]], and the latter is a region of east Switzerland; this might effectively place the EDZ in Switzerland or near the country.
*Different words in German can be seen on signs in the area, such as "Ausgang" (exit) and "Salzwerk" (salt mines). Since Austria, Germany, and Switzerland all have German as their official language, it is currently unknown which country the EDZ is supposed to be located in.
**In German, ''Trostland'' may translate to "solace country".
*The European Dead Zone is the largest playable space ever created by [[Bungie]].
*The European Dead Zone is the largest playable space ever created by [[Bungie]].
*Being the largest playable location in the game, the European Dead Zone has an impressive amount of Activities, which add up to: 7 [[Story Missions]], 2 [[Strikes]], 13 [[Adventure]]s, 2 [[World Quests]], 16 [[Lost Sector]]s, and 21 Region Chests.
*The European Dead Zone has a significant amount of [[Lost Sector]]s and [[Adventure]]s.
**The EDZ, as such has the most Lost Sectors and Adventures on any other Destination in [[Destiny 2]].
*The name and setting of the [[Gambit]] map [[Emerald Coast]] indicates that the EDZ may stretch as far south as Italy.
