"Why don’t we just torch the place and let these nightmares burn?"
"I asked that same question."
"And?"
"And apparently, anything the Hive hate enough to lock away, the Warlocks want to study. Kind of a “the nightmare of my nightmare is my daydream” thing."
"Is it considered treasonous if I’m maybe more afraid of Warlocks than of the Hive?"
"Treasonous, no. I think the word you’re looking for is “sane”."

Cathedral of Dusk is a Crucible map located in the Dreadnaught orbiting Saturn. It was added to the map rotation on October 26, 2015, with the debut of the Festival of the Lost event.

Grimoire Description

As soon as the first Guardians penetrated the Dreadnaught, Shaxx's Redjacks launched a boarding party to Oryx's fortress. By war’s end, they'd fought all the way to the ship’s “impossible weapon,” the Dark ordnance that obliterated the Awoken fleet.

It was there they found what the Warlocks named the “Cathedral of Dusk.” A Hive burial site for— what? A former master of Oryx? Comrade? Lover? It was vile. And obvious that Oryx never expected the Light to reach so deep inside his throne, to such an intimate space. But he didn’t expect a lot of things — like a Guardian training ground atop the husk of his dead ship.

Trivia

• This is the only Crucible map on the Dreadnaught.
• Occasionally a Tombship will spawn just outside the map. It cannot be affected by Guardians nor will shoot at them.
