Essence is a Pyramid used by the Witness during the invasion of Earth and later, Nezarec, Final God of Pain. It acts as the location for the Root of Nightmares raid.

History

During the opening events of the Lightfall campaign, Essence was fired upon by a beam generated by the Traveler, with the intended target being the Witness. This attack dug open a massive hole in the pyramid's hull, as well as terraformed the interior which, likely unknowingly, provided the necessary conditions for the resurrection of Nezarec, Final God of Pain.

Overview

Trivia

  • Throughout most encounters of the Root of Nightmares raid, a massive tree can be seen in the distance that is seemingly composed of light, growing at different stages. The tree has similar features to that of the Tree of Silver Wings, seen on Io prior to its capture by the Black Fleet.
