Storyline

A year after the war for the Last City, this expansion sends the player's Guardian to the lawless frontier of the Reef. Alongside the beloved, wisecracking Hunter Cayde-6, the Guardian arrives to help quell a mass breakout at the Prison of Elders, where a monstrous new enemy has emerged: the Scorn, undead Fallen twisted into a savage race of their own and led by a band of ruthless Scorned Barons. When the escape turns deadly, Cayde is struck down by the exiled Awoken prince Uldren Sov, who flees into the wilds with his monstrous allies. Grief-stricken and denied the support of his fellow leaders, the Guardian sets out alone into the Tangled Shore, a barren outlaw wasteland, forging uneasy alliances to hunt down the Barons one by one and pursue the prince responsible. What begins as vengeance soon draws the Guardian toward far darker secrets waiting in the Reef.
