The House of Devils and Kings were both driven from their lairs by a massive Taken offensive that temporarily seized control of the Cosmodrome. The House of Winter also suffered heavy casualties after rescuing a Taken Archon Priest from the [[Prison of Elders]], [[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx|Nixis]]. The resultant infestation decimated Winter and was only stopped by a determined Guardian counterattack. The only house to fully escape the Taken was the [[House of Exile]] on the moon; apparently a side effect of their proximity to the [[Hellmouth]]. | ||
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Taken War, elements of the House of Wolves emerged from hiding, rallying under [[Keldar, Archon Priest|Keldar]], an Archon that had escaped the Reef Wars and Skolas' Rebellion. Keldar offered the Wolves a new god to worship, the rebuilt [[Orbiks Prime]], the Wolves' previous god. [[Orbiks Prime]] attempted to reassemble the House on Mars, directing its servants to seize Cabal outposts already weakened by the Taken invasion. However, thanks to intel provided by [[Variks, the Loyal]], the Guardians hunted down Keldar and Orbiks; destroying the Prime Servitor and killing their Archon, leaving the Wolves broken and leaderless; this time, for good. | Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Taken War, elements of the House of Wolves emerged from hiding, rallying under [[Keldar, Archon Priest|Keldar]], an Archon that had escaped the Reef Wars and Skolas' Rebellion.
