Shard of the Traveler

This article is a stub. You can help Destinypedia by expanding it.

The Shard of the Traveler is an paracausal object that sits in the middle of the Blackened Forest in the EDZ. A massive fragment of the Traveler's shell that became infected with Darkness and discarded during the Collapse, It is the source of the corruption growing in the area around it and in The Dark Forest, giving the area the name "Dead Zone". The Young Wolf used the shard to regain their connection to the Light during the Story Mission, Spark. They also return here in the quest with the same name to unlock the two other subclasses.

Gameplay

When the player has entered the Blackened Forest in the subclass missions, they will channel the Light of the Shard and gain access to their new subclass. Various enemies from all the House of Dusk will then continually spawn, giving the player an opportunity to try out the abilities against weaker troops and bosses.

Trivia

• When speaking to Tyra Karn in The Farm after the completion of the story mission Homecoming, she stated that the Shard ended up in the EDZ during the Collapse. Why it did is currently unknown, but it may be the missing bottom piece of the Traveler, cast off when it first sacrificed itself during the Collapse.
