Ephyra

From Gears of War

Ephyra During the lightmass Offensive

Ephyra was the capital city of both the Coalition and the nation of Tyrus during the Pendulum wars. The Lightmass Bombing took place near the city's outskirts. It is built upon the once-thought impregnable Jacinto Plateau by the COG, Ephyra is now infested and overrun by the Locust and only a few pockets of Stranded human survivors remain. Now in ruin, every night after dusk, the city becomes the feeding ground of the fearsome and indiscriminate Kryll, and all who live there must ensure that their location is well lit or they will fall prey to the ferocious creatures. The members of Alpha and Delta Squad were both sent into Ephyra to place the resonator in the Locust tunnels. However, when that failed, Delta Squad headed to the Fenix estate to pick up a full map of the Locust tunnels. Once the map was obtained, Delta Squad arrived at Timgad Station via APC to catch a train to activate the Lightmass Bomb.
