Located across the street from the House of Sovereigns in Ephyra, the Tomb housed unknown Gears killed in the Pendulum Wars, and war heroes who are awarded an Embry Star.^[1] Information technology afterward commemorated the Gears lost during the Locust War, Stranded Insurgency, and Lambent Pandemic.

History [ ]

Pendulum Wars [ ]

The Memorial Garden and Eternal Flame earlier Emergence Mean solar day.

The Siege of Anvil Gate [ ]

The Boxing of Aspho Fields [ ]

Locust War [ ]

Lightmass Offensive [ ]

The tomb was the site of much action in the Lightmass Offensive, and was the setting for Lieutenant Minh Young Kim and Redshirt Gyules' deaths, also as the fight betwixt Marcus, Dom and a Berserker. As the only style to impale the creature was to utilise the Hammer of Dawn, the memorial garden at the back of the building provided a good outdoor area to employ the deadly weapon to full event.^[2]

Before Emergence Mean solar day, only the most important Gears of Sera would have been cached hither. At present, with the Locust Horde invasion, many of the burial sites have almost likely been desecrated by Emergence Holes or Seeders. All that is left of the edifice is now in ruins.

Interwar Period [ ]

By fourteen A.E. the Tomb of the Unknowns had been abandoned along with the city of Ephyra. By 17 A.E., withal, the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon created by Professor Adam Fenix destroyed the Lambent forces and neutralized the Locust Horde, ending the 17 year war and finally entering Sera into an era of peace.

Anya Stroud became the leader of the new Coalition of Ordered Governments, interim as First Minister. First Minster Stroud employed the help of former comrade and friend, Damon Baird, to build New Ephyra. Using a three-dimensional press machine using recycled materials, called the Fabricator, Baird built an construction crew known as DeeBees to utilise the ruins of Quondam Ephyra to build the new capital letter of New Ephyra.

However, while DB Industries was dismantling Old Ephyra for building materials, the Tomb was left untouched. Restoration efforts were being made by the COG to preserve and eventually reopen the Tomb to the public. This would make it one of Tyrus's few historical sites to still be valued by the COG.

Among the restoration, the Coalition likewise erected a postwar memorial wall dedicated to the memory, service and sacrifice of Gear soldiers who were killed in the line of duty throughout the Pendulum Wars, the Locust War, the Stranded Insurgency, and the Lambent Pandemic.

Swarm War [ ]

Battle of Old Ephyra [ ]

The Tomb of the Unknowns was one of the areas fought at during the Boxing of Old Ephyra, as the Swarm Ground forces attempted to attack New Ephyra by invading the Sometime Ephyra ruins. In order to defend New Ephyra, Damon Baird had COG squads plant Hammer of Dawn beacons across the Old Ephyra ruins, one of them being the Tomb of the Unknowns, led by Garron Paduk.

Cpt. James Dominic Fenix, Lt. Delmont Walker, and Cpl. Kait Diaz arrived at the Tomb to assist Paduk and plant the beacon. In between the waves of attacks by Swarm forces, Cpl. Kait Diaz laid downward relics belonging to previous Gears who died during the previous wars and saluted those inscribed on the memorial wall. After planting the beacon, the Kraken destroyed information technology. Queen Reyna Diaz of the Swarm confronted Delta Squad and captured them, forcing Cpl. Diaz to choose between saving Cpt. Fenix or Lt. Walker, with the other being killed by Queen Reyna.

Due to both the Kraken and use of the Hammer of Dawn, the Tomb of the Unknowns was destroyed, along with the majority of Sometime Ephyra.
