Editing The Dawning (Rise of Iron)

{{quote|When survivors came to the [[Last City]], they brought with them the customs of a thousand lost nations. As we built a new community from the ashes of the old, so too did we create traditions that reflect this transformed world. During The Dawning, we light lanterns to guide the [[Light]] back to us in a time of [[Darkness]]. The fires from our candles and hearth flames remind us that no matter how black the night is, there will be a dawn.|[[Master Rahool]]}}

'''The Dawning''' was a limited time event in ''[[Destiny]]'' that ran from December 13, 2016 to January 3, 2017. It is exclusively a part of the ''[[Rise of Iron]]'' expansion pack, so it is only available on [[PlayStation 4]] and [[Xbox One]]. Microtransactions through the [[Eververse Trading Company]] were less onerous than previous events.<ref name="Forbes">'''Forbes''' - ''[http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2016/12/05/destinys-the-dawning-will-make-the-games-microtransactions-less-terrible/#415332ae8285  Destiny's 'The Dawning' Will Make The Game's Microtransactions Less Terrible]''</ref> In [[Destiny 2]] the event returns with [[Eva Levante]] as the main vendor and organizer of the event.

==Story==
'''The Dawning''' is an amalgamation of holiday traditions that refugees brought to the Last City. They include the giving of gifts and passing blessings of good luck and health in the new year. Like Festival of the Lost, The Dawning was brought to the Tower by Eva Levante, likely in an attempt to connect Guardians with the people they protect.

{{Quote|This is the dawning. It is a time to honor all that humanity has built, and all that it'll create. Now, as the year turns, the City celebrates with gifts and games. And Guardians unite in the spirit of competition.|Ghost}}<ref name="The Dawning">'''YouTube''' - ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3UWvdwN8ik&feature=youtu.be Official Destiny: Rise of Iron – The Dawning Launch]''</ref>

==Destiny 2==
In [[Destiny 2]], the Dawning is an event that consists of players baking gifts in [[Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1]] (Formerly Eva's Holiday Oven) and delivering them to characters across the system, earning rewards like the [[Avalanche]] [[machine gun]], the [[Cold Front]] [[Submachine Gun]], the [[Glacioclasm]] [[Fusion Rifle]], the [[Zephyr]] [[Sword]] , and the [[Stay Frosty]] [[Pulse Rifle]]

=Gifts=
To bake gifts in [[Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1]] players must gather ingredients and Essence of Dawning. Essence of Dawning is earned by completing activities around the system and completing Dawning [[Bounties]] from [[Eva Levante]]. Ingredients are earned by killing certain types of enemies and getting kills with certain elements, weapon types, and abilities.

=Trivia=
*The Thousand Layer cookie that players give to [[Riven]] during this event uses the Delicious Explosion ingredient, most likely because a popular way to kill [[Riven]] is by firing a massive amount of projectiles from [[Rocket Launcher]]s, and [[Grenade Launcher]]s into her mouth.
