House of Dragons

"For years, our people have suffered at the hands of the Machine-thieves, who slaughter us in droves, burn our banners and slay our leaders, and the Great Machine does nothing to save us. No longer. If we are to rise from the brink of extinction, we must burn down all those who stand against us and reclaim the Machine by force! If anyone desires to stand with us, align yourselves with the Dragons, and together we will rise again through FIRE!"

— Dreviks, Dragon Kell

The House of Dragons are a powerful and aggressive House of Fallen, and are the main antagonists of the Season of Fire. They are identified by their dark red armor and red-orange cloaks. Infuriated by the Traveler’s repeated inaction to help their people, the Dragons have resolved to overrun the Last City and capture it by force as the Red Legion once did, so the Fallen can use its power to reclaim their former glory. They also desire to destroy the Guardians, along with any other faction that greatly crippled the Fallen.

They have also recently seized control of another, smaller, newer House: the House of Ash, occasionally operating through them from the shadows and utilizing them as a task force, as well as extra battle support.

History

Formation

After the defeat of Orbiks Prime during the House of Wolves’s failed campaign to claim Mars, Dreviks, who was then a Baron, defected from his House in order to carve out a path of his own. He and his crew relocated to the ruins of London, establishing territory there and building the foundation for what would become a new Fallen House, one unburdened by the repeated failures of the old. Dreviks’ crew remained in hiding while scouting for and salvaging anything they found that could prove of use to them. Dreviks sought to build their numbers, and after the end of the SIVA Crisis, began broadcasting a transmission on almost all Eliksni channels to rally the crippled Fallen under him. As a result the numbers of his crew would multiply as deserters of the House of Devils and Kings joined his ranks.

Dreviks then declared that his band would be a new House, known as the House of Dragons, with the goal to forcefully retake the Great Machine.

The Heat Before the Fire

In the following years, the Dragons would continue to remain in hiding while they built their numbers and power. They observed as Ghaul successfully took the Traveler and Last City, which only added to their determination to do the same. They salvaged for whatever useful weapons and technology they could to aid them in their goals.

Eventually, a splinter group of the House of Dusk came under the control of the Dragons, and would soon be known as the House of Ash. Through the House of Ash’s activities, the Dragons were able to continue their efforts of salvaging while they plotted and built their armies. In exchange the House of Dragons would supply Ash with the necessary weapons and Ether to continue operating efficiently. They had also performed operations to steal weapons and technology from the Cabal and Vex.

The House of Ash was later sent to loot the ruins of the Exodus Black colony ship for rumored caches of SIVA, as well as to steal Golden Age technology from the facilities on Titan and the Hellas Basin on Mars. By the time Guardians were sent to investigate the House of Ash’s activity, they had already acquired what they came for, and through them the House of Dragons was now armed with new levels of power.

It is also rumored that the House of Ash attempted to scavenge for Black Armory weaponry, although it is unknown if they succeeded, or if such an event even happened.

Paradox

The Swordsman's Arrival

Some time after the death of Dreviks, the House of Dragons came under attack by the Shadowkeepers. Upon hearing that their leaders Kirito and Asuna killed Zavala and brought the Darkness upon the entire Solar System, most of the members pledged their loyalties to them for survival; while the fates of those loyal to their deceased Kell were unknown, it is certain that Karviks and his crew were the only survivors as they escaped this brutal onslaught despite being wounded and ended up on the Chinese Dead Zone within the Unknown Space. The remnants of the House of Dragons have recently begun trying to establish a proper foothold there, with the Archon seeking to reform the House from the ground-up.

Structure

The structure of the House of Dragons remain true to traditional Fallen organization, with a single Kell. However, they have multiple Prime Servitors in case one were to be destroyed, and each Prime is tended to by an Archon. The Dragons also use House Enforcers to ensure that troops remain loyal to the house through force, especially when the Kell’s power begins to weaken. House Enforcers rank higher than Barons but lower than Archons.

The Dragons also have another additional rank, such as Machinists, who oversee all of their technology as well as their production and usage of SIVA, and are equal in rank to Archons.
