The new event “Empyrean Foundation” has started in Destiny 2. However, not everyone can participate at the moment, as some players lack the corresponding starter quest from Saint-14. This is the reason and here’s how you solve the problem.
What is the event about? On February 4th, the Empyrean Foundation started in Destiny 2 – a new event of the Season 9, where the community is supposed to rebuild something great together in a joint effort.

What is the problem with the Empyrean Foundation? Before you can properly start donating for the rebuild, you need to complete a short quest. You normally receive this from Saint-14, the 14th Saint in the Tower. However, not every player had the quest displayed after the event started.
Some players (including myself) were quite desperate about this. Many had rescued Saint-14, retrieved the Bastion, leveled all Obelisks to maximum level, mastered the Sundial activity on all available difficulty levels, accumulated several thousand units of Fractaline – and still no sign of the quest.
Even restarts and even reinstallations did not help. Saint still only had his regular bounties available.
This is apparently the reason: Some time later, players discovered what it obviously relates to. The reason for the missing Foundation quest is another quest from Saint-14 – namely Tribute to the Colonies. This sends you on a multi-step mission on behalf of Saint through the solar system to commemorate the losses of humanity.
Here’s how to get the starter quest: This very quest is still unfinished and dusty in the inventory of some players, but it needs to be completed. Only then will Saint-14 provide you with the new Foundation quest with which you can start the new event.
You can recognize the quest (no matter which step you are currently on) in your inventory by its distinctive symbol:
What does Bungie say? Bungie has also commented on this matter in the official forum. According to the studio, it seems that in addition to the Colony quest, you also need to rescue Saint-14 to access the new event quest:
The developers had not communicated this in this form before. It was only said that one should ensure that the Tower Obelisk is unlocked and ready to go.
Are you also affected by this problem? Or have you already donated 5,000 Fractaline?
