Erosion is set in an expansive cave system, including a large watery area inside. Part of the map serves as a [[Grifball]] arena. A human facility of unknown function resides here.< | {{Main|Eudemon}} | ||
With hundreds of [[human]] [[Human colonies|colonies]] now razed in the wake of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[UNSC]] has dispatched large numbers of advanced pioneer groups to survey potential new worlds. The discovery of Eudemon X49-05 was considered lucky, but concerns remain about the moon’s structural integrity.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 10.25.12|D=03|M=11|Y=2013}} | |||
==Layout== | |||
Erosion is set in an expansive cave system, including a large watery area inside. Part of the map serves as a [[Grifball]] arena. A human facility of unknown function resides here. | |||
It has multiple path ways, caves, and other areas of the map that can be largely Forged and played on. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*It is possible to enter the inside of the "Rock Seastack" object on Erosion. This is not possible on other maps. | |||
*Erosion's pallet has a drastic difference in texture from its fellow Forge Maps. Rather than being a clean white in color, Erosion's objects have a rusted and dirty texture, which is in context with the map. | |||
*Erosion is often criticized for its uneven and sloped terrain that makes it difficult to Forge on. | |||
