"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."

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."
— Ghost[2]

Once the update related to this event goes live, most of these features will remain permanently in the game, except for the Sparrow Racing League Crucible event, although it will still be accessible via private matches.

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.
