| | Ghost: But non-Guardians aren’t supposed to leave the City! |
| | Hawthorne: There’s a small gap in the wall. Hard to see, but it’s there. |
| | Hawthorne: Here’s the thing about City rules – they stop applying once you leave the City. |

| *[[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed]]

| ==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 suggests the [[Red Legion]] is attempting to seize the Shard in the EDZ, explaining their presence in the region, but are 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 Judgment]] banner, hinting at the role of the House of Judgment 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 its purpose as a "threat" or warning, as described by [[Devrim Kay]] in [[Ghost Scans|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 that perhaps they had also received a vision from the Shard and were seeking to be reestablish a connection to the Light.
| |
| * The name of The Blackened Forest, combined with the area's setting in the [[European Dead Zone]] and signage and place-names written in German, is likely a reference to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Forest Black Forest] 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 parallels 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 their relation to the Shard of the Traveler.
