So . . . hmm. Maybe I am just making baseless assumptions.

Right. Also keep in mind that the House of Devils knows they're up against nearly unkillable superheroes. Maybe making your beachhead a couple thousand miles away isn't such a bad idea...

Yeah. Personally, I would want to use artillery if I was dealing with guardians. I mean, so far guns haven't worked particularly well.

Likewise, you can't see the Traveler from Felwinter's Peak, but you can see the cosmodrome.

In an age where interplanetary transmat is possible, a beachhead might just mean something with in ground range teleport of the city.

Wasn't the fake Bungie employee denounced as fake some time later? Or the claims about the lighting system. I forget exactly what, but some major part of that was addressed as fake specifically if my vague recollection is right...

Anyway, I still like Puerto Princesa since it's what's shown on all the early map backgrounds...

Woo! Cool! Link?

Either place, I don't care. I like the tower, it's got pretty mountains behind it and I like them. :)

I've always thought the Last City was in Nepal.

Based on...?

I've honestly never thought about where it was.

I don't know for sure, but it probably stemmed from this: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/38nbqq/the_last_city_is_pokhara_nepal/

On the mission to take out the anti-aircraft guns, Shiro says that the Fallen could be using the site as a beachhead to attack the city. This would insinuate that the city/Tower ARE in Russia. Why else would you establish a beachhead there if it weren't nearby?

Makes perfect sense, but if that were true, shouldn't we be able to see Russia from our house? I mean the Traveler from Old Russia?

If it's the only real beachhead on Earth (with the rest of the Fallen forces just doing their pillage/scavenge thing) it would kind if make sense?

Not an especially efficient one perhaps, but better than nothing.

They also mentioned that there were 8 towers to the best of my memory. We know of two, "The Tower" and Banner fall. They also mentioned that several of them were destroyed. I forget if it was during a skirmish with "bad guys" or if it was when New Monarchy tried to take out the traveler...

And I don't know how big the Wall is and where the towers are located.

I might also just be completely mixing up all the information that entered my head when I played yesterday :-D
