Capitalizing on the lack of leadership in the post-[[Taken War]] Reef, a group of [[Dreg]]s who collectively titled themselves the "Scorned Barons" banded together after they were cast out from the [[House of Exile]]. They waged a civil war against the Fallen Houses for practicing the old Eliksni ways and terrorized [[Awoken]] settlements within the Reef, degrading the once prosperous civilization into a lawless frontier. The terror they unleashed had almost grown as powerful as any Kell even having driven the House of Wolves to extinction through the destruction of all their Servitors. They even successfully took control of a local [[Hive]] brood with [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]] taking [[In Anânh, Brood Queen]] as his consort. | Capitalizing on the lack of leadership in the post-[[Taken War]] Reef, a group of [[Dreg]]s who collectively titled themselves the "Scorned Barons" banded together after they were cast out from the [[House of Exile]].

Following the demise of Fikrul and Uldren, the Scorn lingered within the [[Dreaming City]] and engulfed themselves into a conflict against the [[Taken]].
