House of Emperors

"The Age of Exodus has come to its end! No longer shall we chase a false deity, for we will build a new empire from the bones of humanity! The Age of Emperors is upon us!"

— Atrykis, Emperor Kell

The House of Emperors are a vicious Fallen House, distinguishable by their Blood Red armor and dark gray shoulder capes. Proclaiming themselves as rulers of the Eliksni, they are enemies with The Last City, House of Dusk, House of Lions, and any other Fallen who refuse to bow to their will.

History

"(Sigh)...Another day, another House I ticked off, Man I should've thought this idea of joining you guys clearly."

— Joskaa

In the months following the conclusion of the SIVA Crisis and sometime prior to the Red War, Atrykis, once a House of Lions Baron, became obsessed with restoring the Eliksni back to their pre-whirlwind state. After expressing his hatred towards The Last City and the Traveler, he attempted a rebellion against the Kell of Lions, Joskaa, with the help of his loyalists and some deserters from the House of Gray. However, his revolution was promptly extinguished, and he, along with his remaining followers, were sentenced to the Kell's Dungeon. But, thanks to the efforts of his closest allies, Atrykis was able to break out of prison, and defected from any dens or hideouts belonging to Lions, to avoid the Kell's Wrath.

Atrykis's group eventually found their way to Enceladus, where hidden Fallen remnants from various houses were hiding out in an abandoned Golden Age ruin. After conquering the hidden fortress, Atrykis formed the House of Emperors from his inner circle, as well as the remnants of those Houses, and named himself as the Kell of Emperors. The Emperors begun their crusade through stealth raids, hoping to accumulate as many resources and technology as possible.

Season of Arrivals

"Why must we wait? The City cowers from these Pyramids. We should strike now!"
"Patience, my dearest. There will be a time to strike. We do not stand a chance against these Pyramids. Let our enemies war amongst eachother. And when the smoke lifts, we shall pillage the survivors."

— Akildis and Atrykis discussing the Arrival.

Following the arrival of the Pyramids in the Solar System, the House of Emperors were amongst the first to know. Thankfully, by the time the first Pyramid arrived at Io, most of the Emperors had retreated to their new lair on Earth, in the Colorado Badlands, though a token force did remain behind in the Valley of the Emperors back on Enceladus. Though the Emperors did launch minor raids on City, Cabal, and Fallen forces alike, they remained mostly obscure and off the radar, avoiding the Pyramids as much as possible.

Structure

The Emperors maintain a similar structure to most Fallen houses, having a Kell, an Archon, and a Prime Servitor. However, in similar fashion to the House of Lions, they also have a female second-in-command, referred to as the Baron Empress, or just Empress. Though not officially stated to be a Fallen Queen, the holder of this position acts near identically. Servitors in the Emperors are not seen as Gods or companions, but as tools, and are promptly programed as such.

The Emperor's Chosen is a title held exclusively by the Emperors. Though the bearer of Emperor's Chosen is more honorary, a Chosen can often be seen as a head Enforcer or General in the House, answering only to the Kell himself.

The Imperial Court, an Emperor exclusive group, consists of at least 12 veteran Barons close to the Emperor that carry out his will and judge the accused. Their Court Arbiters function similar to the Wolf Enforcers, enforcing loyalty throughout the House and bringing in any criminals for trial.

The Emperor Splicers function similarly to the Devil Splicers, though due to a shortage of SIVA, they do not venerate it as their predecessors, and also focus more on engineering other Fallen and Cabal technology. The Imperius Mecha are a splinter group of the Splicers that focus on the Emperors' Shanks, Walkers, and other robotics. Both groups are lead by the Archon.

The Emperor's Guard are elite variants of genetically modified Kell's Guards that consist of the Emperor's closest allies, most of which are former Lion members that served Atrykis during his attempted revolt. They vehemently guard the Emperor's Kell and Citadel from any and all threats.
