The '''House of Dusk''' is a new [[Fallen]] House that has recently emerged following the advent of the [[Red War]], previously founded by the former [[Awoken]] Prince [[Uldren Sov]] under orders of [[Craask, Kell of Kings]]. They are engaged in conflicts with every other faction in the system.

==History==
===Origin===
{{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]]}}

Some time after the [[Reef]]'s disastrous attack on the [[Dreadnaught]], the surviving Prince [[Uldren Sov]] allowed himself to be captured by the [[House of Kings]] in order to gain an audience with their Kell, [[Craask]]. Craask reluctantly bent the knee to Uldren, and beseeched him to carry the message to every other Fallen House to abandon their old loyalties, end their rivalries and join together for the sake of survival.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Places/The_Asteroid_Belt#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Reef_4|Ghost Fragment: The Reef 4]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Forsaken_Prince#Kings|Kings]]''</ref>

Following the [[Devil Splicers]] defeat at the peak of the [[SIVA Crisis]], the Fallen collectively retreated from all of their hardcore strongholds, leaving behind their banners and armor in ceremonial piles and burnt ash.

===Red War===

Nearly a year after the SIVA Crisis, around the time of the [[Red War]], the House of Dusk suddenly emerged, with no sign of the other Fallen Houses being present outside of ruins. The House of Dusk entered a massive guerrilla war with [[Red Legion]] forces across the [[Solar System]] as well as battling the Hive and Vex.

====Earth====
The House of Dusk are first encountered in the mission [[Spark]]. A former Wolf noble, [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed|Skriviks]], who disappeared after the [[Wolf Rebellion]] returned under the banner of Dusk. Accompanied by her lieutenants [[Tikkis, Diminished Scrapper|Tikkis]] and [[Maksor, Starving Scavenger|Maksor]], she and her crew attempted to investigate the Shard of the [[Traveler]], but met their end when the Guardians regained their powers.

Later when the Guardians returned to attain new subclasses, they met resistance from [[Poknis, Order Captain]], a Prime Servitor named [[Brandaks Prime]] and a [[Graviton Burner|heavy shank]]. The Fallen were trying harness to the corrupted [[Light]] of the Traveler's Shard, but ultimately failed.

In the European Dead Zone, [[Raksil, Archon Priest]] and [[Serkuleks, the Fount]] were responsible for producing and distributing an enhanced variety of ether by using modified Cabal technology. This would strengthen the nearby Fallen into an class of Empyrean capable of eliminating the Cabal.

In the [[Larceny]] mission, the High Servitor [[Teleks-5]] led an offensive against the Cabal alongside a crew of Fallen to scavenge supplies. Later in the [[The Arms Dealer|Arms Dealer]] strike, the House of Dusk would infiltrate [[Firebase Hades]] again and enter a massive battle against the forces of [[Bracus Zahn]], a weapons supplier who for the Red Legion. They were however pushed back by a Fireteam when the [[Vanguard]] enlisted them to eliminate Zahn. The increased campaigns against the Cabal highlight a greater show of strength especially when former Houses would refrain from such tactics.

====Titan====
On Titan, there victory's often staggered , with the Hive being pushed back into there territory, however as losses in leader throughout the system and the Guardians arriving, most of there forces were either destroyed or unable to establish a proper foot hold and not allowing them to have the capalites to advance.

====Nessus====
On Nessus, things were horrible, with only small lairs and strongholds able to be held, but these would be abandoned for days and even months before proper reenforcements arrived and when The Young Wolf, started taking supplies they were utterly crippled and were not able to hold Io, completely evacuating.
They weren't even strong enough to set up holds on Mercury. They weren't able to setup on Mars either.

===Forsaken===
{{Quote|House of Dusk, fah! House of Desperation! House of Erased Differences! Differences define us.|[[The Spider]]}}

One year after the Red War, the House of Dusk entered into a civil war with the [[Scorn]], following their breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]].

With the demise of the [[House of Wolves]], former members can be seen working with the Dusk which include [[Silent Fang|The Silent Fang]], [[Queenbreaker]]s, [[Pallas Seigebreaker]]s and those afilliated with [[Student of Beltrik|Beltrik]] and [[Irxis Partisan|Irxis]]. 

Despite having these new recruits, the House of Dusk continues to splinter and suffer, as agents of the Last City have observed that many of its members deserted to either join the [[Kell's Scourge]], led by [[Siviks, Lost to None]], or strike out on their own. Following Sivik's mounting failures and eventual death, the House of Dusk continues to fracture and radicalize, the result of a lack of leadership.

===Shadowkeep===
[[File:20200430213839 1.jpg|thumb|right|350px|One of the last Fallen leaders within the [[Cosmodrome]], and possibly the last living leader of the Dusk.]] 
A year after the events of [[Forsaken]], the house is now more fractured and divided than before. The return of the [[House of Devils]], the emergence of the [[House of Light]] and Variks, The Loyals's [[House of Judgment]] have only further drained the ranks of what was once considered a unified Fallen House. Despite this, however, the Fallen have seemingly made one last haven for themselves on the Moon. Exploiting a crashed Ketch, they now hold a lot of the old territory that they once did. Even despite this, the legacy of the House of Dusk seems to be drenched in failure, at the start of the Red War, they were the largest House ever to threaten the System. But their constant defeats at the hands of the Guardians and with no Kell in the absence of an Elder Cipher, they have no legitimate leadership. 

If there is one obstacle to this, it is that once the House of Dusk finally breaks, three new Houses will rise from its ashes. The return of the vicious House of Devils and the rise of an ally in the form of the House of light, along with the mystery of Variks the Loyal's rising House of Judgment will illustrate how the [[Eliksni]] as a species taking up sides.

===Season of Dawn===

Even though the house itself does not appear in present day, it is revealed that the House of Dusk adopted their purple banners from the House of Rain that attacked a settlement of Mercury when it was still a garden world.

==Structure==
Primarily distinguishable by their dark purple cloaks and new weapons, their eyes glow an intense turquoise, much brighter than the pale blue seen in Fallen from [[Destiny]] 1, and wear very little armour, instead choosing to rely on their natural exoskeletons for protection. What armor remains is heavily weathered and worn down.

The House can be found on [[Earth]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], [[Io]], [[Nessus]] and [[Luna]], warring with every other alien faction in the system. Within the House of Dusk, the Fallen no longer worship [[Servitor]]s and machines as they used to, having devoted their energy towards simple survival. With their emergence, they are believed to be the most powerful active Fallen faction in the [[Solar System]].

Evidence strongly imply that the House of Dusk is an amalgamation of the remnants of other Fallen Houses. Dusk structure bear a level of complexity similar to the [[House of Wolves]]. There are multiple specialized forces that are given their own set of tasks. Pike gangs are sent to patrol Fallen territory and harass intruders. Signal crews led by recon specialists and stealth troops hack into and jam communication devices used by enemy forces to prevent them from strategizing. Glimmer extraction crews use Glimmer Drills to acquire wealth and resources. All of these divisions are given their leaders from the ranks of their nobility. The whereabouts of their Kell and Barons is unknown. Therefore, its possible that while united for the sake of survival, they operate independently from each other.  

The House of Dusk is actively calling other Fallen to join with it. Fallen banners displayed in Trostland bore a crude version of the [[House of Judgment]]'s sigil, but the banners were seemingly used as warnings rather than to mark territory ownership. Some Fallen tech also found in the area once belonged to the [[House of Winter]] and had been transported from [[Venus]]. While a communications device in [[Siren's Watch]] was discovered to be using variants of encryption protocols derived from the [[House of Kings]]. A former [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed|noble]] of the [[House of Wolves]] was found to have joined the ranks of the House of Dusk. Lastly, the House produces [[Heavy Shank]]s based on the [[House of Devils]]' [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]] prototype. [[Ghost]] notes that where [[Skolas]] failed in uniting the Houses, sheer desperation (due to the massive losses faced in the [[Taken War]] and [[SIVA Crisis]]) succeeded in burying old grudges. 

Another unusual characteristic is that it utilizes Servitors from multiple lines (Brandaks, Drensik, Kendriks, Kiriks, Merix, Nariks, Selkis, Serkuleks, and Teleks), a practice previously only seen with the [[House of Wolves]], which used two lines (Kaliks and Orbiks). Furthermore, it possesses multiple Prime Servitors where no Fallen House had been known to follow more than a single Prime Servitor at once, and which were almost never deployed offensively except where the Fallen believed that they had an overwhelming advantage or when their lair was invaded. The House of Dusk went against traditions by regularly sending [[Prime Ether Servitor]]s to directly distribute ether to crews in combat zones on various worlds, and deploying other Primes like [[Brandaks Prime]] and [[Serkuleks, the Fount]] as reinforcements against Guardian incursions.

In addition to their scavenging, the House of Dusk also appears to be focusing on [[Ether]] production and experimentation. In the [[European Dead Zone]], [[Raksil, Archon Priest]] and Serkuleks, the Fount were responsible for producing and distributing an enhanced variety of ether from Cabal technology that strengthened the Fallen. In the [[Arcadian Valley]], Ghost scanned a tank with ether that had been diluted through unknown means, which he speculated meant that the Fallen on [[Nessus]] were experiencing a dire ether shortage. Equally intriguing is that many of the House of Dusk's [[Captain]]s throughout the system are comparable to [[Kell]]s in size, a level of growth which requires a large amount of ether to achieve.

==Trivia==
*The House of Dusk is the creation of the [[Kell of Kings]] and they get their name after he says ''It is "Twilight" for the Fallen, and we must lay our banners down.'' Twilight meaning Dusk.
**With the release of ''Forsaken'', it is likely that Uldren was at some point involved in the formation of the House of Dusk due to his subjugation of the House of Kings, which may be why the Dusk Dregs in the EDZ did not attack Uldren.
*In [[Season of Dawn]], it is revealed that the House of Dusk adopted the symbols and purple banners of the [[House of Rain]].<ref>''' Destiny: [[Weblore#The Sundial]]'''</ref>
**The [[Dreg]]s and [[Wretch]]es of the House of Dusk do not possess docking caps and have regrown the first parts of their lower arms, while all Major and Ultra Dusk Fallen possess gold-yellow streaks on their armor and cloaks, suggesting a House of Kings connection.
**A red banner with the Dusk insignia can be found near Thaviks, the Depraved and the Fortress crucible, possibly hinting at a divide among the House or perhaps another division of the House.
*It is unknown whether the House of Dusk possesses a [[Kell]].
*The House of Dusk has the most [[Prime Servitor]]s of any House seen to date, commanding at least three. These Servitors are [[Brandaks Prime]], the [[Prime Ether Servitor]]s, and [[Serkuleks, the Fount]]. Most Houses only have had one or perhaps two.
*Unlike other houses in ''Destiny 1'', whose members wear bodysuits under full armor and capes, members of House of Dusk do not wear bodysuits and instead wear armor on their half-naked bodies.
*A Vandal can be found by a tiny island the north of the Sunken Isles in the [[EDZ]] with a disproportionate amount of health and strong attack. This is an Easter Egg reference to "Randal the Vandal", a notorious Level 8 Reaver Vandal found in the [[Forgotten Shore]] of the [[Cosmodrome]] who was later turned into [[Rahndel, the Perfected]].
*The creation of the House was one out of necessity and a need for survival.
