The '''Battle of the Twilight Gap''' (known to the [[Eliksni]] as '''The Final Attempt''') was one of the biggest battles ever faced by the [[City]]. This battle took place at the outskirts of the city, at the [[Twilight Gap]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities#Twilight_Gap|Twilight Gap]]''</ref> | |||
== | ==Overview== | ||
===Prelude=== | |||
The [[Kell of Kings|Kell]] of the [[House of Kings]] manipulated the different Houses of the [[Fallen]] into joining forces to attack the City, with the [[House of Devils]] leading the charge.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells|WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref> The assault was heralded by a rise in Fallen attacks on the City's borders. <ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Crucible_Arenas#Frontier|Frontier]]''</ref> The [[House of Wolves]] would have joined the battle, had they not been [[Reef Wars|caught off guard]] by the [[Reef]]<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen 3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref>. The ultimate goal for the Fallen was the capture of the [[Traveler]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen 3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> | |||
=== | ===The Battle=== | ||
The City responded by organizing a force of Guardians under [[Iron Lord]] [[Saladin Forge]].<ref name = "Saladin">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Iron_Banner_Rep|Iron Banner Rep]]''</ref> [[Fallen Walker]]s dueled with the City's gun emplacements. <ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#Walker|Walker]]''</ref> The machine gun [[Thunderlord]] also distinguished itself and even in the chaos of battle could be seen leaving an ocean of dead Fallen in its wake.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 3, Activision Blizzard, [[Thunderlord]]''</ref> Lord [[Shaxx]] commanded a fireteam that consisted of [[Anastasia Bray]], [[Liu Feng]], [[Nkechi-32]], [[Idil Abdi]], and [[Truce]], which refused to follow Saladin's orders when he instructed all fireteams to fall back to the [[Ridgeback District]] as he believed the Wall was lost. Instead they secured a gap in the Wall to hold off the onslaught of Fallen from entering the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Black Armory (expansion)|Black Armory]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Mountaintop]]''</ref> Shaxx and his fireteam's counterattack allowed the Vanguard to beat back the Fallen and drive them from the City's wall.<ref name = "Shaxx">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Crucible_Handler|Crucible Handler]]''</ref> It would take awhile for Shaxx, Saladin, and Zavala to mend the rift due to Shaxx's insubordination on that day. | |||
=== | ===Aftermath=== | ||
In the aftermath, many [[Guardian]]s were killed, and [[Ana Bray]] was also presumed dead after being seen falling off the Gap. [[Feizel Crux]] commemorated the fallen Guardians by forging [[Gjallarhorn]] out of their armor.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2a5rkf/gjallarhorn_crafted_by_feizel_crux_as_a_gift_to/ '''Reddit''': Gjallarhorn Art Book Preview]</ref> Fearing for the city's ability to repel another attack, Shaxx created the [[Crucible]] to train a new generation of Guardians.<ref name = "Shaxx"/> The [[Vanguard]] also became more proactive in preventing the enemy from attacking the city again, and began authorizing major [[strike]]s against enemy targets.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Cloak of the Shadowjacks]]''</ref> | |||
