The House of Fear are a House of Fallen Splicers and slavers. They are mainly known for their unorthodox experiments and unique views on The Traveler and The Darkness. They were a late player in the War for Sol as they were pillaging other systems. They first take up lair in Riis-Reborn, stealing it from Salvation fallen and repurposing it. The House of Fear made the remaining House Salvation on Europa their slave vassal and often mistreated them.

History

Taking Control of Europa

Their skiffs arrived at the Gale's Watch exterior landing pad, the area where Eramis used to be frozen. Then a team of Fallen were dispelled from the Skiff and secured Gale's Watch, taking the House Salvation members prisoner and saying they'd explain later. The team continued on, striking a deal with a captain who used comms to tell his men to stand down. The Salvation members shut off the cannons protecting the air space of Riis Reborn and the Fear Skiffs entered the base. The team arrived in Kell's Rising and eliminated all of the Vex units using a Splicer in the team. Securing Ether Caches and sending them away on Skiffs. As the team and skiffs arrived in Technocrat's Iron they quickly secured the military factory and loaded in more of their troops. Finally a small recon squad secured Riis-Reborn Approach. Calling in all of the Salvation Fallen to the large meeting room of Riis-Reborn, the House of Fear gave them an announcement. They enslaved House Salvation, subjecting them as their workers and test subjects. As well as that they would force some to fight, killing all deserters. But there was a chance for Salvation here, those that proved themselves had a chance at becoming part of House Fear itself. The next months were devoted to the settling of Fear troops and the work of Salvation Fallen. When House Salvation tried to rebel, House Fear would quickly put it down, even hosting public executions. Salvation eventually lost hope, giving in to Fear's strict punishments. When a guardian patrol, however, encountered these new Fallen, a war that would be remembered in both Fallen and Human history would begin.

First Guardian Encounter

Pretty much having no idea what the Guardians were, the House of Fear initially underestimated them. That lead to a devastating first battle. The Guardian Patrol managed to eliminate a whole entire unit of House of Fear troops before they understood what they were dealing with. Then they sent their Light-Nullifying Splicers in. These Splicers could crush Ghosts just like Guardians did to Hive. Many guardians died and the rest of the patrol gathered their dead and ran. When The Guardian was deployed to investigate the patrol's findings, Mithrax, Kell of Light originally believed House Salvation was under their control like the House of Wolves, willingly. But when House Salvation Dregs tried to run to the Guardian with their hands raised, unarmed, and were shot down by House of Fear snipers, the horrifying truth was brought to light. The Guardian quickly passed through Riis-Reborn, noticing changes. They arrived in an unseen before area, a Fallen neighborhood deeper in Riis Reborn. However there was lots of watchtowers for the House of Fear to watch over the Salvation and the Guardian even witnessed from afar a Vandal beat a Dreg down. The Guardian finally arrived in the command center of Gale's Watch to a horrifying sight. Fallen Vandals and Dregs attached to glowing tubes in these strange pods. The Guardian watched through the glass door as a Dreg was shoved into one of the pods and attached to the tubes. Then a captain was about to be shoved in but freed itself and killed its captors. It opened the door to the Guardian, letting them in and getting them. He announces himself as Arriks. You and Arriks fight together against a wave of House Fear troops and enslaved House Salvation. But then a new Splicer arrives. Mithrax notes he has never seen this kind of power before and The Guardian fights them. After a difficult and laborious fight, the Guardian eliminates the Splicer.

Structure

The House of Fear is lead by their two Archons and two Barons. The two lead Archons don’t actually interact much with the house other than the Splicers and stay locked in their vault on the Ketch. The Barons on the other hand interact with the house a bit more. Mirks actually does stuff like recruiting new members but he is often away from most of the House due to his crusades to become a liaison with other houses or even species. Also he just kind of does his own thing but he’ll visit the house every now and then when they need someone to command it. They pretty much lead the house despite them rarely being present. Orathiks is really just a mercenary and leads a hit squad but other than that doesn’t actually lead the House. Below them are a group of Splicers who pretty much command the house because the high ranking guys don’t. Below that they have standard Fallen command system and have enslaved Salvation troops as soldiers. They will shoot deserting troops.

Trivia

• This is the first group of Fallen to not have Dregs.
  • Instead they use enslaved Salvation Dregs.
• Chained Wretches and chained Wraiths have been found in Fear camps, attached by chains to pillars so they can attack anyone who gets close.
