History of The Black Garden

The Black Garden lies outside normal space-time: a surreal landscape of red Asphodelia and giant plant bulbs. It birthed the Vex and housed the Black Heart, a failed replica of the Veil meant to weaken the Traveler. "A trillion timelines, and all at war. Like a thousand red flowers growing in a black garden."

Access

Originally via Vex portals needing a Gate Lord's authority; after the Black Heart's destruction it became reachable, with a gateway beneath the Lunar Battlegrounds as the modern entrance.

Regions

Looking Glass, Embrace, Undergrowth, Boundless Horizon.

Enemies

The Sol Divisive Vex, Sol Progeny minds, and Taken with Axis Minds in certain seasons.

Activities

Missions "The Black Garden" and "What Remains", the Garden of Salvation raid, Vex Offensive, the Crucible map Pantheon, and the exotic mission "Starcrossed".

Recent events

The Sol Divisive rebuilt the Black Heart under the Witness's direction; Guardians destroyed it again, opening the way to The Pale Heart.
