The Dawning (Rise of Iron)
From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki
- "When survivors came to the Last City, they brought with them the customs of a thousand lost nations. As we built a new community from the ashes of the old, so too did we create traditions that reflect this transformed world. During The Dawning, we light lanterns to guide the Light back to us in a time of Darkness. The fires from our candles and hearth flames remind us that no matter how black the night is, there will be a dawn."
- — Master Rahool
The Dawning was a limited time event in Destiny that ran from December 13, 2016 to January 3, 2017. It is exclusively a part of the Rise of Iron expansion pack, so it is only available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Microtransactions through the Eververse Trading Company were less onerous than previous events.[1] In Destiny 2 the event returns with Eva Levante as the main vendor and organizer of the event.
Story
The Dawning is an amalgamation of holiday traditions that refugees brought to the Last City. They include the giving of gifts and passing blessings of good luck and health in the new year. Like Festival of the Lost, The Dawning was brought to the Tower by Eva Levante, likely in an attempt to connect Guardians with the people they protect.
Features
- "This is the dawning. It is a time to honor all that humanity has built, and all that it'll create. Now, as the year turns, the City celebrates with gifts and games. And Guardians unite in the spirit of competition."

Destiny 2
In Destiny 2, the Dawning is an event that consists of players baking gifts in Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1 (Formerly Eva's Holiday Oven) and delivering them to characters across the system, earning rewards like the Avalanche machine gun, the Cold Front Submachine Gun, the Glacioclasm Fusion Rifle, the Zephyr Sword , and the Stay Frosty Pulse Rifle
Gifts
To bake gifts in Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1 players must gather ingredients and Essence of Dawning. Essence of Dawning is earned by completing activities around the system and completing Dawning Bounties from Eva Levante. Ingredients are earned by killing certain types of enemies and getting kills with certain elements, weapon types, and abilities.
Each gift in addition to the ingredients listed below requires Essence of Dawning. Prior to masterworking Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1, each recipe will require 15 Essence of Dawning. After masterworking the oven, each recipe will require only 10 Essence of Dawning. Eva's Holiday Oven 2.1 can be masterworked by baking one of each gift.

Trivia
- The Thousand Layer cookie that players give to Riven during this event uses the Delicious Explosion ingredient, most likely because a popular way to kill Riven is by firing a massive amount of projectiles from Rocket Launchers, and Grenade Launchers into her mouth.
