==Trivia==
[[File:Nadir full.jpg|300px|thumb|Nadir [[Emblems/Destiny|emblem]] obtainable from [[Banshee-44]] in [[Destiny]]|right]]
Little is known about Nadir, and the foundry's origins. The term 'Nadir' is most commonly used in astronavigation to refer to the opposite of the Zenith, which is the highest point in the sky that an object will reach. 'Nadir', then, describes the ''lowest'' point in the sky that an object will reach. Both "Nadir" and "Zenith" come to English by way of Latin, and both words are originally from Arabic. With such scant information released about the foundry, it's impossible to know yet whether the word's origin has any significance as to where Nadir originated. 
 
The only written information Destiny has provided players so far about Nadir is the Grimoire card for Nadir's exotic weapon, Nemesis Star, which asks several questions without providing any answers<ref name="Nemesis Star Grimoire" />. There may, however, be key clues in the weapon and its Grimoire card. It's opening line, 'What is the answer, when the question is extinction?' Apparently, Nadir's answer was Nemesis Star, a powerful and formidable machine gun. Perhaps the foundry's name refers to the point in humanity's history when they first began making weapons--the post Golden Age Collapse.
 
Flavour texts of several Nadir weapons also ask unanswered questions like "''What came before?''"<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Protostar CSu]]''</ref>, "''What waits beyond the horizon?''"<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Conjecture TSc]]''</ref>, "''What is the structure of the universe?''"<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Armillary PSu]]''</ref> or "''What is the shape of reality?''"<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Cuboid ARu]]''</ref>.

Overview

Type:

Weapon Foundry

 

"Who, or what, is the weapons foundry known as Nadir? Where did it come from? And is the foundry's name a commentary on its own quality, or that of its rivals? An expression of fatalism? An inside joke?"
— Nemesis Star Grimoire card[1]

Nadir is a weapon foundry of the City[2]. Nadir weapons generally follow a naming scheme consisting of a scientific term followed by three-letter alpha code (i.e. Impulse ESc). They also make several weapons obtainable as Crucible rewards.[3]

Overview[edit]

Nadir's new logo from Season of the Witch, as seen in the weapon inspection screen.

Little is known about Nadir or its origins; the Lore tab for Nemesis Star seems to indicate that much about the foundry is mysterious to the people of the Last City.[1]

In Season of the Witch, Nadir was given a foundry origin trait (see logo below), along with a new logo (right corner) and weapon set with various returning weapons from the Red War campaing and beyond.
