In the final days of the [[Golden Age]] the [[Traveler]] was in the midst of terraforming Io when it detected the [[Darkness]] approaching; The Traveler began to move to [[Earth]] in a defensive posture, leaving Io half-completed and flooded with the Traveler's formatted energies.<ref name="GF: Cayde-6">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] | In the final days of the [[Golden Age]] the [[Traveler]] was in the midst of terraforming Io when it detected the [[Darkness]] approaching; The Traveler began to move to [[Earth]] in a defensive posture, leaving Io half-completed and flooded with the Traveler's formatted energies.<ref name="GF: Cayde-6">'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]], [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Cayde-6|Ghost Fragment: Cayde-6]]''</ref> As a result of this, the Ionian climate and geography do not support traditional agriculture, meaning that some remnant of Io's original atmospheric composition prevented the full growth of plants. The moon is still charged with the Traveler's pure energy, which lingers in the atmosphere of the moon, visible from orbit. <ref name="GF: Cayde-6"/> Echo Mesa, a mountain on Io,<ref>[https://www.wikiwand.com/en/List_of_mountains_on_Io#/List_of_named_Ionian_mountains '''Wikipedia''' - ''List of mountains on Io'']</ref> has become a popular pilgrimage site for [[Guardian]]s.<ref name="GF: Cayde-6"/> The Mesa overlooks a crater where the Traveler left behind a [[Cradle|mysterious maze-like structure]]. | ||
The terrain of Io was covered in fossils, many of which closely resemble enlarged versions of ancient Earth organisms such as trilobites, ammonites and dinosaurs. It is unknown whether these fossils were a by-product of the Traveler's paracausal terraforming, or whether they pointed to some unrecorded history of transplantation between Earth and a more habitable Io in the distant past. | The terrain of Io was covered in fossils, many of which closely resemble enlarged versions of ancient Earth organisms such as trilobites, ammonites and dinosaurs.

Following the destruction of ''[[The Almighty]]'', a [[Pyramid (Io)|Pyramid]] touched down on the moon, disabling Rasputin and positioning itself above the [[Cradle]], where a [[Tree of Silver Wings (Io)|Tree of Silver Wings]] lay inside.
