— Website description

The European Dead Zone, also known as the EDZ, or simply Dead Zone, is a region on Earth.[1] It is filled with ruins dating to the Golden Age and earlier, but one of its most notable landmarks is a massive shard of the Traveler that was sundered during the Collapse. The Fallen House of Devils was known to have a presence in the EDZ before their disappearance due to the SIVA Crisis. By the time of the Red War, the Fallen had returned to the area under a new banner, and their presence combined with that of a Cabal occupational force and Taken remnants, has made the EDZ into a warzone.

Overview

The Red Legion began occupying the Zone after The Last City was invaded. Guardians will travel to the European Dead Zone in order to reclaim their powers from the Traveler's shard found there. The region contains several Lost Sectors and Adventures to partake in. The Fallen House of Dusk are also active in the Dead Zone. The Taken also continue to linger within the region, remnants from the Taken War.[2]

History

Some time ago, possibly during the Collapse, and unknown event occurred that left a massive shard of the Traveler stuck in the EDZ.

Following the invasion of The Last City, Dominus Ghaul deploys his forces to mobilize within the region, causing the region to become a major warzone between the Taken, Fallen, and Hive. Guardian forces have also fled to the Dead Zone in order to hide and recover from the invasion, establishing a new base of operations, The Farm.

Trivia

  • In late 2013, the European Dead Zone was a major location planned for the Comet which would eventually become The Taken King. Along with Europa, the area was never completed and was later dropped from the expansion in March 2014 when Bungie decided to focus on the Dreadnaught.[3]
  • The name Zervreilahorn can be seen on road sings around the EDZ. The Zervreilahorn is a mountain in Switzerland, effectively placing the EDZ in Switzerland.
  • Although different words in German can be seen on signs in the area, such as “Ausgang” (exit) and "Salzwerk" (salt mines). Since both Germany and Switzerland has German as an official language, it is currently unknown were the EDZ is actually placed.
  • The European Dead Zone is the largest playable space ever created by Bungie.
  • The European Dead Zone has a significant amount of Lost Sectors and Adventures.
