Archon's Forge is an activity in Rise of Iron,[1] similar to the Court of Oryx introduced in The Taken King. The activity requires Guardians to wipe out a large group of enemies as quickly as possible after which a group of stronger enemies will spawn.[1] It is found at the Archon's Keep in the Plaguelands.
Gameplay[]
Archon's Forge is accessible in Plaguelands Patrol.[1] To start the activity, Guardians must offer one of three SIVA offerings at the Forge[1]; a Fused SIVA Offering, an Enhanced SIVA Offering or a Perfected SIVA Offering.
When a Guardian dies, they are transported to a balcony overlooking the arena and are kept there for a time. Players can buy their way back in by using a Splicer Key.[1] Unlike the Court of Oryx, SIVA offerings are always consumed, whether the player survives or fails the encounter.

History[]
Before a Fallen is allowed to be augmented by SIVA, they must obtain a SIVA sample, present it to the leadership, and prove themselves in battle in a religious ritual.[1] When Guardians present the sample, Fallen consider it to be a defilement.[1]
