What this book is about

This Destiny 1 Grimoire book covers the Mars missions in Meridian Bay, told through short reactions from the Tower's leaders as you push toward the Black Garden. Each entry marks a step in the campaign, from breaking the Exclusion Zone to the final assault on the Garden itself.

You hear from the Speaker, who sees the Exclusion Zone as the way into Freehold and keeps warning about the Awoken. Master Rahool reflects on the lost machines of Clovis Bray and the buried knowledge now within reach. Cayde-6 boasts about your raid on a Warbase past the Blind Legion perimeter and admits to a bet on your survival.

Ikora Rey weighs in after you shut down Vex gates near Freehold. She begins to suspect a link between the Vex outbreak, the Black Garden and the Vault of Glass. The book ends with the Speaker's verdict on what your journey into the Garden achieved, and what it did not.

Exclusion Zone

"Breaking the Exclusion Zone brings us one step closer to the Garden - and it gives us access to Freehold, a triumph of Golden Age civilization. But I must warn you again of the Awoken's tactics. They see us all as playthings in some cosmic joke." - The Speaker
