The '''House of Judgment''' is one of the oldest [[Fallen]] Houses, dedicated to the return of traditional Eliksni society. Its only surviving member is [[Variks, the Loyal]].

The House of Judgement is a fore House,<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/complete-reef-reveal-recap/ '''Planet Destiny''': Complete "Reef Reveal" Recap]</ref> having existed since before the Fallen cataclysm known as the [[Whirlwind]]. In the past House of Judgment was the House that kept the peace between all Fallen Houses, being the mediator to avoid fighting between them. House Kells would seek counsel with them to better lead them away from battle with other Houses. But after the Whirlwind, and the splintering of Houses, their numbers decreased making it harder for them to both keep the peace and prevent infighting between Houses. Soon they spread themselves among the Houses, obeying the [[Kell]]s, and worshiping their [[Prime Servitor]]s. Likewise, when the [[House of Wolves]] fell to the [[Reef]], the House of Judgment survived by swearing fealty to its [[Queen]], [[Mara Sov]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>

Variks, the only known member of the House, was the acting spymaster for The Reef, being granted command of the [[Crow (device)|Crows]] by [[Petra Venj|Regent-Commander Petra Venj]]. He has redirected resources to locate the Kell of Kells, in hopes of uniting the Fallen Houses on Judgment's behalf.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/The Taken King#The Wolves of Mars|The Wolves of Mars]]''</ref> However, in the aftermath of the Reef's decay into chaos, Variks decided to name himself as the Kell of Kells, to bring a pragmatic evolution for his House and Eliksni-kind.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref>

However, Variks' bid for Kell of Kells had failed in rejection by his kind for his past treason as the former warden of the [[Prison of Elders]]. Variks ultimately dissolved the House of Judgment and joined [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and her newly-formed [[House of Salvation]] on [[Europa]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#VII.
