Shard of the Traveler

This article is about the Shard in the EDZ. For the other Shard, see Chamber of Night (mission).

The Shard of the Traveler is a paracausal object that sits in the middle of the Blackened Forest in the EDZ. A massive fragment of The Traveler cast off during the Collapse, it became the source of the corruption both around it and the Dark Forest and led to the region's designation as a "dead zone".

The Young Wolf used the Shard to regain their connection to the Light during the Story Mission Spark. They also return here in the quest with the same name to unlock the other Subclasses, such as Gunslinger or Stormcaller.

Gameplay

When the player has entered the Blackened Forest in the subclass missions, they will channel the Light of the Shard and gain access to their new subclass. Various enemies from all the House of Dusk will then continually spawn, giving the player an opportunity to try out the abilities against weaker troops and bosses.

Trivia

• When speaking to Tyra Karn in The Farm after the completion of the story mission Homecoming, she stated that the Shard ended up in the EDZ during the Collapse. Why it did is currently unknown, but it may be the missing bottom piece of the Traveler, cast off when it first sacrificed itself during the Collapse.
