==History==

{{quote|The Kings understood Judgment, for together they ended the Edge Wars in their people's golden age.|[[Variks, The Loyal]]}}

Prior to arriving in the Solar System, the House of Kings was one of many Fallen Houses struggling to survive in the wake of a cataclysmic event known as the [[Whirlwind]]. In the aftermath of the fall, the Kings were said to have warred with the [[House of Wolves]].<ref name="VtL">'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/The_Queen#Variks,_The_Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>

===Presence in the Cosmodrome===

{{quote|I spent a long time in the wilderness outside the Walls. I've mentioned it before. Red-marked House of Devils Fallen always tracking my movements. The entire time I was out there, I think I saw one member of the House of Kings. Just sitting on a wall, scanning the horizon. Never even gave me a second glance.|Ghost}}

===The Wolf Rebellion===

During the [[Wolf Rebellion]] of [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]] the House of Wolves approached the Kings with an offer to join them. The Kell of Kings sent two of his Barons, [[Paskin, King Baron]] and [[Vekis, King Baron]], to meet with the Wolves. [[Prince Uldren]] of The Reef suspected that the Baron's true mission was not to parley with the Wolves, but rather assassinate their representative [[Yavek, Wolf Baron]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Vekis, King Baron|Vekis, King Baron]]''</ref> The truth of the plot would never be discovered, as a Guardian guided by [[Variks, the Loyal]] interrupted the meeting and killed all three Barons in the resulting skirmish.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Ruling House]]''</ref>

===The Taken War===

{{quote|Taken will not rest. Will claim every house. Consume every banner.|[[Variks, the Loyal]]}}

===SIVA Crisis===

[[File:Archons-forge.png|thumb|right|300px|King's Archon Forge under [[Devil Splicers]] control]]

For many years the House of Kings maintained influence over the techno-religious leadership of the House of Devils and controlled the [[Archon's Forge]] until a younger, more ambitious sect, the [[Devil Splicers]] assumed control over the Forge. This gave rise to three new [[Archons|Devil Archons]] and allowed the Splicers to burrow into connecting area of [[Site-6]] to infuse themselves with [[SIVA]].

===Red War===

{{quote|Thou shalt tell the Eliksni to tear off their banners. Thou shalt tell them that we must all surrender to each other. We must give up our rivalries, or we will not survive.|[[Craask, Kell of Kings]]}}

One year after the SIVA Crisis, the Kings, as well as the other Houses, seem to have vanished entirely, and a never-before seen [[House of Dusk]] has taken their place. However, further inspection shows that many members of the House of Dusk come from the other houses, including the House of Kings. All House of Dusk communication protocols are variations of the House of Kings. This is because Craask, Kell of Kings gave orders to Uldren to unite the Fallen as Craask's remaining pride could not tolerate the disgrace of giving the word himself.
