{{Quote|To my Eliksni sisters and brothers out amongst the stars, and here at home on Europa. We are the future of our kind, and we will destroy all who threaten us.

The '''House of Salvation''', or '''House Salvation''' in Eliksni, is a massive [[Fallen]] House distinguishable by their white and indigo cloaks and armor. 

Founded by [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]], a former [[Baron]]ess of the [[House of Devils]] who originally sought to reform her old House, but later abandoned them to form a new Fallen empire comprised of former Devils, [[House of Winter|Winter]], [[House of Dusk|Dusk]], [[House of Wolves|Wolves]] and [[Kell's Scourge]] members; all unified to rebuild their Eliksni civilization.<ref name="Out">'''Bungie (2019/03/05)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]]'', ''[[Lore:Stolen Intelligence|Stolen Intelligence]]: [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref><ref name="Rim">'''Bungie (2020/06/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]]'', ''[[Rimed Shell]]''</ref>

Eramis led the newly formed House to [[Europa]] and acquired the [[Stasis|powers]] of the [[Darkness]] from [[The Witness]] and its [[Black Fleet]], plotting revenge against the [[Traveler]] and the [[The Last City|Last City]] that defends it. After failing her duty to recover all the relics of the [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] [[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]], Eramis and her House became subjugated by the Witness into servitude of the [[Hive]] God [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]] and her armies, with many Eliksni members having been either enslaved into [[Taken]] and [[Wrathborn]] or reanimated into [[Scorn]]. Once Eramis defected from its cause and abandoned the [[Sol System]], the Fallen House had permanently folded under the Witness's control; its members vying to enact the [[Final Shape]] and a promised end to their collective suffering.<ref name="Requiem">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Requiem]]''</ref>

==History==
===Origins===
[[File:Eramis.gif|thumb|300px| Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]
{{quote|And now we have Eramis, the Shipstealer, Baroness of Devils.|Variks on the capture of Eramis}}

The House of Devils fell into chaos following the deaths of their nobility: [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], [[Riksis, Devil Archon]], [[Sepiks Prime]], and [[Aksis, Archon Prime]]. Leaderless, the Devils would abandon their banners and follow the instructions of the [[Kell of Kings]] to merge with the [[House of Exile|other]] noble Houses to create the House of Dusk.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] - [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref> Those who remained loyal to the other Houses were captured and sent to languish in the [[Prison of Elders]].

A year after the [[Red War]] and prompted by [[The Nine]] and [[Uldren Sov]]<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Unknown Space|Unknown Space]]''</ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]]: [[Lore:Most Loyal#Where Loyalty Lies|Where Loyalty Lies]]'', [[Variks, The Loyal]] began a massive [[Last Call|prison break]]. The chaos led to the release of notable Fallen such as [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]], [[Siviks, Lost to None|Siviks]] and the [[Silent Fang]]. Eramis, the Shipstealer, one of the last surviving Barons of the old Devils captured during the [[Wolf Rebellion]] and who lead the Fallen charge at the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]], had also managed to escape the [[Prison of Elders]]. Upon learning of the demise of the Devils' nobility, Eramis rallied former Devil traditionalists, saboteurs, and loyalists to join her cause in rebuilding the House of Devils.<ref name="Out"/> Eramis even sought to harness SIVA to enhance the Devils after learning the conducts of the [[Devil Splicers]].<ref name="Zero Hour">'''Bungie (2019/05/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]], [[Zero Hour]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Outbreak Prime#Lore|Outbreak Perfected]]''</ref>

===Raiding the Tower===
[[File:ZeroHour.gif|thumb|300px|Battle of [[Zero Hour]]]]
{{Quote|Field reports indicate that Eramis is rallying violent dissidents to reconstruct House Devils from the ground up.|[[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]].}}<ref name="Out"/>

Months after her escape, Eramis orchestrated a heist into the [[Tower|destroyed Tower]] to steal the [[Outbreak Perfected]] [[Pulse Rifle]], which was previously quarantined due to it containing [[SIVA]] in its frame. Led by [[Siriks, Loyal to Eramis]], they broke into the crumbling building and pillaged anything they could find in order to get to the SIVA-powered weapon. This caught the attention of [[Mithrax, the Forsaken]], the [[Kell]] of the [[Fallen]] [[House of Light]]. Mithrax proceeded to drop [[Fallen Transponder|clues]] so the Guardians could join him in his attempt to stop the incursion. Meeting in secret with the [[The Guardian]] in the basement of the barn at [[The Farm]], they rushed to the ruins of the [[Tower|destroyed Tower]] to stop Eramis' militants from retrieving the weapon. Together, [[Mithrax, the Forsaken| Mithrax]] and the Guardians stopped the raiding party, killing Siriks and [[Mimiks-0, Devil's Scion|his]] [[Mimiks-1, Devil's Scion|allies]].<ref name="Zero Hour"/>

The failure to steal the SIVA weapon ultimately humiliated Eramis and her attempt at reigniting the fires of the House of Devils. Since then, she decided to abandon the Devils' banner entirely and remake themselves into a new House entirely of her own accord.<ref name="The Visionary">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IV. The Visionary|IV. The Visionary]]''</ref>

===Rise of Darkness===

{{Quote|This is our future! Our enemies stand no chance against this power! [[Traveler|The Great Machine]] will finally know our pain!|[[Eramis, Kell of Darkness]]}}

Following the prison break, the first Barons to join Eramis' crew were her old comrades-in-arms from the House of Devils: [[Phylaks, the Warrior]] and [[Kridis, Dark Priestess|Kridis, the Priestess]]. The three of them used to be working as a team on the [[Cosmodrome]] and fought together against Guardians in the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]].<ref name="The Nightmare">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#V. The Nightmare|V. The Nightmare]]''</ref> Another addition to the Council, [[Praksis, the Technocrat]], was a former member of the House of Wolves who had been confined in a cell next to that of Eramis in the Prison of Elders. They used to have long nighttime talks that influenced Praksis' way of thinking.<ref name="The Wolf">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#II. The Wolf|II. The Wolf]]''</ref> Another was [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo|Atraks, the Wildcard]], who was meant to represent the younger generation of the Fallen were born after the [[Whirlwind]] and never knew any other home but the Solar System.<ref name="The Wildcard">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#XIII. The Wildcard|XIII. The Wildcard]]''</ref> The last member of the Council was the last scribe of House Judgment, Variks. While other members of the Dark Council despised Variks for being a traitor, Eramis accepted him as a way to draw more [[Reef]] Fallen to her own house<ref name="The Council">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#VIII. The Council|VIII. The Council]]''</ref>.

After her failed heist, Eramis became plagued by visions of her past from [[The Lunar Pyramid|the Pyramid]] hidden beneath the [[Moon]]. She visits the Moon herself, fighting her way through the Hive to commune with "the black arrow", which would respond by whispering promises of power to the Baroness.<ref name="The Herald">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#VI. The Herald|VI. The Herald]]''</ref> Armed with a vision of their intended destination, Eramis and her crew rallied together a new House of Fallen from the remnants of Devils, Wolves, Dusk, and [[Kell's Scourge]] to Europa, also referred as "Niflheim" to the [[Reef]].<ref name="Rim"/> There, they built a new home for the Eliksni since the fall of their old [[Riis|homeworld]], dismantling multiple Fallen hideouts across the Solar System and using the ruins of the human Europan colony of [[Eventide]] as the foundation for their [[Riis-Reborn|city]].<ref name="The Scribe">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#VII. The Scribe|VII. The Scribe]]''</ref>

When the [[Black Fleet]] finally [[Return of the Black Fleet|revealed]] their presence in the Sol System, Eramis and her council had prepared their House for [[The Europan Pyramid|one]] to arrive at Europa, which offered them power in the form of [[Splinter of Darkness|Splinters of Darkness]]. Armed with their newfound power of Stasis, Eramis would subsequently proclaim herself as "Kell of Darkness" and vows to destroy the Traveler with her Fallen empire fully equipped with Stasis abilities.<ref name="The Kell of Darkness">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]]'', ''[[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer|The Once-Shipstealer]] - [[Lore:The Once-Shipstealer#IX. The Kell of Darkness|IX. The Kell of Darkness]]''</ref>

===War of Salvation===
Soon after, Variks would desert House Salvation, taking a valuable Splinter of Darkness and broadcasting a distress signal. House Salvation quickly caught up to him, but the Guardian intervened and saved Variks.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Darkness's Doorstep]]''</ref> Afterwards, Variks informed them of Eramis's intention to create a Darkness-empowered army of Fallen. The Guardian entered [[Riis-Reborn]] to investigate Eramis's growing strength and came across the Kell showcasing her Stasis powers to a gathering of Salvation Dregs and Vandals, and gifting Phylaks her Splinter. They soon spotted the intruder and attacked, forcing the Guardian to retreat.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The New Kell]]''</ref>

The Guardian, with the help of Variks and [[Elisabeth Bray|the]] [[Eris Morn|Dark]] [[Drifter|Vanguard]], set out to dismantle the Dark Council. Starting with Phylaks, the Guardian took out multiple patrols in Asterion Abyss, including [[Elenaks, Salvation Elite]], to draw Phylaks out.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/the-warrior-prove-yourself-to-phylaks The Warrior: Prove Yourself to Phylaks]''</ref> This proved successful and Phylaks gave the Guardian her location in the [[Well of Infinitude]]. The Guardian descended through the Vex catacombs, cutting through Salvation and Vex troops alike, to reach Phylaks. After a battle, Phylaks was slain and the Guardian to her Splinter of Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Empire Hunts|Empire Hunt]]: [[The Warrior]]''</ref>

After Phylaks, the next target was Praksis. After finding and scanning a Vex [[Conflux]], Praksis sent a Conflux Watch Prime to keep the guardian from shutting the Conflux down. The Servitor would be destroyed and the Ghost used the signal from it to track Praksis's location to the [[Bray Exoscience]] facility on Europa.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/the-technocrat-scientific-method The Technocrat: Scientific Method]''</ref> After battling through Salvation forces and evading explosive traps, the Guardian faced off against Praksis and defeated him, taking his Splinter of Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Empire Hunts|Empire Hunt]]: [[The Technocrat]]''</ref>

After their death, Eramis began to grow more reckless in her attempts to safeguard her strength. In a meeting with the remaining members of her Council, she dispatched Atraks to the [[Deep Stone Crypt (location)|Deep Stone Crypt]], assuring her that she and Kridis would be able to handle the situation and vowing to Kridis that she would give the Guardians the destruction they craved. After this, reports came in that Eramis had returned to the [[Cosmodrome]] to recruit what remained of the House of Devils.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/stranger-in-a-strange-land-speak-to-commander-zavala Stranger in a Strange Land: Speak to Commander Zavala]''</ref> After arriving in the Cosmodrome, the Guardian gathered intel from House Devils troops in the Divide and found Eramis's operations to [[Exodus Garden 2A]]. While they were unfortunately too late to catch Eramis, the Guardian was able to take out both [[Deksis-5, Taskmaster]] and Bakris, the Adamantine, and stop Eramis's production of Walkers. However, Variks had learned of a Vex Portal built by [[Clovis Bray I]] on Europa and Eramis's intent to activate it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/scavenging-the-drome Scavenging the 'Drome]''</ref>

The Guardian quickly headed back to Europa and fought through the forces of House Salvation to reach the portal. As they did, Eramis berated Variks on how he had tortured and murdered Eliksni in the Prison of Elders while her Eliksni would die for a cause and that she was doing this for the future of the Eliksni. Eventually, the Guardian made it to the portal but was unable to prevent Eramis from activating it. Eramis would flee as the Guardian dealt with [[Belmon, Transcendent Mind]] and ultimately destroyed it.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Glassway]]''</ref>

The Vex invaded Riis Reborn, killing many Eliksni in the City and forcing many to flee to safety, such as the [[House of Light]] or House of Dusk. One Skiff of refugees would be prevented from leaving Europa by House Salvation troops, but they were rescued by the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/transcripts/quest-evacuation-beyond-light Quest: Evacuation, Beyond Light]''</ref> Once the Skiff was gone, the Guardian turned their attention to Eramis located at [[Gale's Watch]] in Riis Reborn. Fighting through Salvation troops and invading Vex, the Guardian made it to Eramis's command room. After a brief fight with the Kell, the Guardian and their Ghost would be immobilized in Stasis by Eramis who proceeded to snatch the Guardian's Splinter of Darkness and crush it. However, the Guardian broke free and continued battling Eramis with their own Stasis powers. Eventually, Eramis tried to keep fighting but ended up freezing herself in Stasis.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Kell of Darkness]]''</ref>

===Dismantling an Empire===
With Eramis incapacitated, Variks and the Vanguard continued operations against House Salvation operations, as well as helping any Eliksni who wished to abandon Europa escape. These operations included sabotaging a Fallen factory on Europa to prevent the Fallen from producing advanced weaponry<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Sabotaging Salvation]]''</ref> and stealing [[Salvation's Grip]], a Grenade Launcher capable of firing Stasis.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Stasis Prototype]]''</ref>

Later, the Guardian discovered that Kridis was now leading the remains of House Salvation under the belief that they could "awaken Eramis from her slumber" and, from knowledge from the Darkness during her slumber, Eramis would return to them in a storm of blood and ice, not as a Kell but as a God. But, it seemed that Kridis' more religious and fanatical beliefs had managed to drive more Eliksni away from Salvation, including one group in a Skiff that the Guardian freed from a containment field. The Guardian then tracked Kridis down to Gale's Watch by the frozen Eramis. In a battle, which destroyed Yamiks Prime in the process, Kridis would fall. With this victory, House Salvation has been broken, but only temporarily.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[The Aftermath]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Empire Hunts|Empire Hunt]]: [[The Dark Priestess]]''</ref>

After a time, the Exo Stranger would contact the Guardian, informing them that a large number of Salvation have been amassing, leading her to conclude that they had found the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], the mysterious birthplace of the Exos. Wanting to prevent any knowledge of Clovis Bray from falling into the Fallen's hands, the Guardians formed a Raid team to clear out the crypt and secure it. As they traverse the science facilities, the Guardians discovered that the last member of Eramis's inner circle, Atraks, the Wildcard had used the radiolaria from the Vex gate Eramis had activated earlier into activating the Exo conversion machines, turning herself into a Fallen Exo. Now dubbed [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]], she would also revive [[Taniks, the Scarred]], now Reborn, from a Fallen Cryopod within the Crypt. The Guardians battled both throughout the facility, taking them as far as the [[Morning Star]] space station in Europa's orbit. Using the facilities' securities against Atraks, the Guardians succeeded in slaying the Fallen Exo. However, their battle forced the station AI into activating its Nuclear Descent protocol, which would force the station into crashing into Europa, as per Clovis Bray I's wishes to prevent his research from falling into the "wrong hands". However, the nuclear crash would likely destroy Europa itself, forcing the Guardians to disarm the nuclear cores while holding off Taniks. As the station plummeted towards Europa, the Guardians succeeded in disarming the nuclear cores but were unable to prevent the station from crashing. Taniks pursued the Guardians to the only secure location to survive but was locked out at the last second as the station crashed into Europa.<ref name="DSC"/>

Barely surviving the impact, the Guardians dragged themselves out of the wreckage but found to their shock that Taniks also survived the crash, now merged with a Heavy Shank. Forced to battle with the Fallen mutated monstrosity along with other Salvation Fallen that also survived the crash, the Guardians managed to stagger Taniks long enough for them to collect and disarm his now nuclear-powered cores, preventing him from wiping them in an instant. After a long gruelling battle in the burning wreckage, the Guardians finally put Taniks down for good, ending the House of Salvation's ambitions of using Clovis Bray's technology.<ref name="DSC">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]]''</ref>

===The Shipstealer's Return===
[[File:D2SOP-Eramis-Duel-Mithrax.gif|thumb|300px|Eramis in a duel with Mithrax]]
Though heavily crippled since the loss of Eramis and her council, the House of Salvation would remain active though mostly conducting pirate operations along trade routes. However, following the Guardian's [[The Lucent War|adventures within a Hive God's Throneworld]], forging an alliance with [[Empress Caiatl|Caiatl]]'s [[Imperial Cabal|Cabal]] and containing a [[Nightmare]] [[Severing of the Nightmares|outbreak]] aboard the [[Leviathan (ship)|Leviathan]], the House of Salvation's fortunes would soon turn towards their favour. After being spoken to by the [[Witness]], the leader of the Black Fleet, Eramis finally broke free from her Stasis prison, bitter and enraged at the poor state of her house and learning of Mithrax and his House of Light siding with the Guardians and the Last City. Nonetheless, to fulfil a "payment" for her release, the Shipstealer rallied her remaining followers and that of the Old Crews of Fallen pirates to search for a special artifact of the Dark Ages.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Lore:Between Stolen Stars|Between Stolen Stars]]: [[Lore:Between Stolen Stars#I. Thaw|I. Thaw]]''</ref> 

As Eramis's name still carried weight, the Old Crews rallied under her banner but her House's activities would catch the notice of the Guardians after her forces stole cargo from the Drifter, which was actually the Spider himself looking to smuggle himself to the Last City.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[Salvage and Salvation]]''</ref> Understanding the threat Eramis poses with these pirates, the Guardians work with the Drifter, Mithrax and the Spider to take out the pirates Eramis was looking to rally and steal their treasure.

Ultimately, despite the Shipstealer's and the Old Crews' efforts, the Guardian and Mithrax were successful in collecting all the relics, which were revealed to be pieces of the dead Disciple of the Witness, Nezarec. With the Relics out of their reach, Eramis could do nothing but flee as the Guardian and the Light Kell used their acquired riches to improve the livelihood of the Eliksni Quarter.

===The Price of Failure===
[[File:Praksis-Scorn.jpg|thumb|300px|Praksis brought back as a Scorn]]
With the failure of reclaiming the relics of Nezarec, and Eramis going into hiding again with her whereabouts being unknown but still continued to serve the Witness, Xivu Arath, the Hive God of War, would re-emerge once more. This time attempting to take control of the [[Warsat]] network as [[Rasputin]] was incapacitated. Furthermore, she led an assault onto Europa to subjugate the AI [[Clovis Bray I]] under her control. House Salvation would seemingly assist Xivu's [[Xivu Arath's Horde|Horde]] in looting [[Clovis Bray (corporation)|Clovis Bray]] sites, but due to their leader's failure and absence, Xivu would punish Salvation for it by converting several of them into Wrathborn while resurrecting some of them into [[Scorn]]; using them to assist her army in occupying the remaining [[Seraph Bunker]]s and [[Warmind#Known_Subminds|Submind]] vaults to further her goals.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Hierarchy]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Heist Battleground: Moon]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Heist Battleground: Europa]]''</ref>

Splicers of House Salvation would later be ordered to aid Xivu Arath's Hive on Seraph Station, the control hub of the Warsat Network, in gaining control over the Warmind's defences, with an old lieutenant of Eramis's, Praksis, being raised back from the dead as Scorn and made to guard the Nexus Control hub of the station. Despite their efforts, the Guardians managed to infiltrate the station and upload a malware virus in the station to both delay the Hive and prepare for when Rasputin will be ready to regain control. During the clash, the defiled Praksis would be slayed by the Guardians once again.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Operation: Seraph's Shield]]''</ref>

Later on, House Salvation would intercept Last City transmissions regarding a quicker method to restore Rasputin: finding the remains of Lord Felwinter's Ghost, [[Felspring]]. It was recently discovered that [[Felwinter]] was once a piece of Rasputin's code uploaded into an Exo frame before being made a Risen. Ana therefore believed Felspring could have all the code they might need to hasten Rasputin's recovery. House Salvation would quickly send a raid force to destroy Felspring's remains which were being housed at the [[Iron Temple]] before the Guardian could arrive. Unfortunately, the Iron Temple was already being protected by a Cabal force, [[Lord Saladin]]'s [[Iron War Beast]]s, holding the line long enough for the Guardian to arrive. Together, the Guardian fought off the Fallen and slew their commander, [[Rilliks, Instrument of Xivu Arath]]. With their leader dead, the Salvation Fallen made a retreat. The Guardian found Felspring's remains and after connecting them to Rasputin's code, the Warmind was able to speak with Ana and the Guardian directly and reveal the extent of Clovis's true intentions.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Operation: Son of Saturn]]''</ref> Following this, Elsie noted that House Salvation was suffering while under the yoke of Xivu Arath with Rasputin concurring, noting that the House of Light had swelled in numbers recently, apparently recognizing that following Eramis was no longer beneficial. Elsie hoped that Eramis would one day swallow her need for vengeance and realize that herself.{{Citation needed}}

Ultimately, Eramis and her Splicers were successful in gaining access to the Warsat Network, specifically Rasputin's protocol that has his arsenal target the Traveler, ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE. Wanting to use this to make the Traveler feel the pain the Eliksni endured, Eramis worked in haste to activate the protocol, with the Guardians and their allies desperately working to prevent this. Though the Guardians succeeded in uploading Rasputin into Seraph Station, Eramis nonetheless succeeded in activating the ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE, just as the Traveler appeared to leave the Last City. Believing that the Traveler is abandoning another civilization again like on Riis, Eramis promised to a pleading Mithrax that the Great Machine will never abandon a people again, activating the Warsat network's arsenal. However, Rasputin managed to activate his Aurora Sacrifice protocol, the order where the Warsat Network will self-destruct along with himself, thwarting Eramis's revenge. Yet, to the Kell of Darkness' disbelief, the Traveler remained stationed within Earth's outer orbit instead of leaving entirely. The Witness answered its servant, stating that the Traveler simply had no place left to run.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/6)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE (mission)|ABHORRENT IMPERATIVE]]''</ref>

Despite once again failing in her given task, Eramis and her house would continue to serve the Witness. But, the Salvation Kell would grow wearier and wearier of the endless fighting and of her failures against the Guardians. More so, on seeing her people being raised as Scorn, remarking it as her people being made into "puppets" of the Witness.{{Citation needed}}

===Serving the Final Shape===
[[File:Hollow Part I.jpg|thumb|300px|The Guardians prevent Korha from harvesting the Traveler's Light.]]
As the Witness succeeded in finding [[The Veil]] and using it to establish a connection with the Traveler, thereby opening a portal into its [[Pale Heart]], its various servants would be brought along with it as The Witness began to enact the Final Shape. The House of Salvation would be part of that force but Eramis herself would not be present, having saved [[Mithrax]] from a trap left by the [[Shadow Legion]]<ref>'''Bungie (2023/2/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Defiance]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvcoYWxosKA&t=206s Countdown]''</ref> before leaving the [[Sol System]] in search for the one [[Athrys|person]] she still cares for.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Sparrow|Sparrow lore]]: [[Nostos]]''</ref> Nonetheless, the Salvation Fallen would continue to do The Witness's bidding and even invade the [[Last City]] alongside [[Xivu Arath's Horde]] to keep the Guardians contained. Nonetheless, their efforts would be crushed as the Guardians and their allies made headway in reaching the Pale Heart and pursuing the Witness.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/4/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Into the Light]] - [[Onslaught]]''</ref>

Before the final battle, the Guardians made endeavors to heal the Traveler and in thwarting the Witness's servants from gaining strength. The House of Salvation, for instance, began an operation to harvest the Traveler's Light directly from the Pale Heart. Ikora and Mithrax noticed the Salvation Fallen's movements and engaged to prevent them from succeeding. Most importantly to Mithrax, the operation was being led by [[Korha, the Hollow]], a former member of the House of Winter who had rising to be Eramis's Right Hand during the conflict on Seraph Station and killed Mithrax's mother, [[Inaaks]], when he was still young. Furious at the sight of his mother's killer, Mithrax joins the Guardian in disrupting Korha's operations by destroying the harvesting rigs before following Korha to Europa. Despite engaging Korha directly, the former Winter Fallen seemed incapable of saying anything to Mithrax, leading Ikora to believe that Korha's consciousness had been consumed by the Witness like many of its other servants. Nonetheless, the Guardian and Mithrax were able to defeat Korha before he was crushed by a House of Light Brig. Though slightly disappointed that he couldn't exchange some last words with Korha, Mithrax was nonetheless pleased that they disrupted his operations within the Traveler and had avenged Inaaks.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Hollow, Part I]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Hollow, Part II]]''</ref>

After much pain and sacrifice, the Guardians succeeded in finding a way to harm the Witness and sever its connection to the Traveler's Light, and with all their allies, they managed to destroy the Witness once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[Excision]]''</ref> With their master gone, the Final Shape no longer feasible and Eramis herself nowhere to be found, the House of Salvation began to turn on itself. Nonetheless, the Vanguard would continue to monitor the possibility of Eramis's return.

====Nessus Scouting====
At some point during the [[Upheaval on Nessus]], a team of Guardians, with the support of [[Saint-14]], would assist [[Failsafe]] when the AI's sensors detected forces of [[Vex]] and Eliksni from House Salvation following them inside the wreckage of [[Exodus Black]]. During the [[Exodus Crash|assault]], the Guardians would neutralize the raiders and their leader [[Pykis, House Salvation|Pykis]], although the team was unable to identify the real target for the attack from House Salvation, whose base on Europa was a long way from Nessus. Failsafe would hypothesize that they thought it was worth sending scouts in response to the increased Vex and Coalition activity after the crash of an [[Echo (object)|Echo]] and the detection of anomalous tectonic activity across the entire planetoid<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Exodus Crash]]''</ref>.
===War against the Revenants===

==Structure==
Though the House of Salvation is made of up members from a multitude of other Eliksni factions it is much more organized and disciplined compared to the other Fallen Houses, a testament to Eramis' leadership as well as her tactical acumen. With a council of [[Barons]] composed as her closest lieutenants, Eramis was able to maintain a firm grip on her forces, using paracausal [[Pyramid]] technology in the form of [[Splinter of Darkness|Splinters of Darkness]]; harvested from nearby [[Crux of Darkness|Cruxes]] surrounding Europa’s landscape using Praksis' own drone technology. Further, their command over Stasis makes the Fallen of this House especially dangerous. In addition, with so many different Fallen joining forces under Eramis's banner, their various tactics and technologies give them an edge on the battlefield, almost overwhelming their foes.

==Trivia==
*This House was previously called the '''House of Darkness''' by the community prior to Beyond Light's release.
*The House of Salvation symbol bears a slight resemblance to or is based on parts of House Devil's, King's, and Winter's banners.
*The House has also been observed to use the old Eliksni suits and armour from Destiny 1 instead of the more ornamental House of Rain (adopted by the House of Dusk) armor.
*Early traces of the House of Salvation name can be found in the [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#An_Evolution_of_Faith|An Evolution of Faith]] lore. It describes the Fallen as having raced across the stars in ''"search of salvation"''. In their desperation, the Fallen relied on technology to survive through the use of [[Fallen#Technology|weapons]], [[Ketch|ships]] and [[Servitors]]. Eventually, their need to survive led to the worship of Servitors. This ties into Eramis' speech where she claims the Fallen have been ''"chained for centuries"'' due to their reliance on Servitors and then proceeds to destroy one through [[Stasis]].
**Eramis's dislike of the Servitors, being made in the image of the Traveler, whom she hates, makes her similar to the [[Scorn]] who despise the Fallen's old traditions. Despite this, she keeps Servitors a part of her forces, albeit "defiled" by [[Stasis]].
* The names of the Stasis Barons appear to be derived from Greek words. 
** Atraks is derived from Atrax, either a [[wikipedia:Atrax|genus of funnel web spiders]] or a [[wikipedia:Atrax_(mythology)|character from Greek mythology who founded a city of the same name]].
** Kridis is derived from [[wiktionary:%CE%BA%CF%81%CE%B9%CF%84%CE%AE%CF%82|kritís]], meaning "judge".
** Phylaks is derived from [[wiktionary:phylax|phylax]], meaning "watcher" or "guardian".
** Praksis is derived from [[wiktionary:praxis|praxis]], an English loanword which is typically defined as "the practice or practical application of skill or theory".
*In [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_2|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 2]], the [[Darkness|Dark]] is described as something that cannot be stolen as you can claim pain. This explains the Houses' desire to make the [[Traveler]] feel their pain as they wield their newfound Dark powers.
*Dregs from House of Salvation appear on the mission [[Coup de Grâce]], indicating that some of them have been corrupted by the [[Cryptolith]]s prior to the Season of the Seraph.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Coup de Grâce]]''</ref>
*During [[Into the Light]], Fallen bearing the colours of House Salvation can be seen in the [[Onslaught]] activity. However, they are never properly stated to be from House Salvation but instead "servants of the Witness."
