"Not all of the Fallen had faltered to your wrath. Yes?"
— Variks, The Loyal

The House of Lions are an old, but vigilant Fallen House, distinguishable by their vanilla colored armors and round brown fur cloaks. They are allies to The Last City and The Reef.

History

Origin

"House Winter, attack. House Devils, plot. House Kings, plan. House Wolves, circle. House Judgement, wait....but House Lions...watch."
— A Unknown Lion Captain

Just like the House of Judgment, the House of Lions are one of the oldest Fallen Houses in existence, but the Lions were a Legendary mighty House, said to be "Strong like the Wolves, Wise like Judgment, and Clever like Kings". They were the most respected House by most of Eliksni, even by the House of Kings. Untill the Whirlwind, when they later escaped into a unknown asteroid belt in a Star System, that they have control over of, and the Lions were also said to have warred with the House of Gray.

Gray Wars

One of Lions' most known enemies, the House of Gray

Phase One

The War started when a House known as the House of Gray entered the Lions’ territory and raided multiple camps, killing countless Fallen. This caused Yorvik, the Kell of Lions, to wage war against them. It was long courses of Battles, until Grayria, a spy for the Lions, went undercover, as a Gray scavenger, to search for the House of Gray's Lair, in which she does. She gives the report to the Yorvik, in which, with this info, the Lions manned a raid against them, and combine with the Lions' most powerful forces, they destroyed the Gray’s Lair and killed the Kell of Gray, along with it.

Phase Two

With the Kell dead, the House of Gray took revenge, while Yorvik was trying to collect Ether from one of the Astroids, Gray then cornered his ship, and destroyed it, killing him along with it. With Yorvik's death, the House of Lions fell into civil war, splitting into 3 groups, Tariks, Lion Baron, Skrisah, the Wise, and Skeklos, the Prowling.

During the civil war, Skeklos began to strangely rise to power. He first destroyed Skrisah's fleet, and then tricked the House of Gray into Defeating Tariks. With all of his rivals dead, He became the Kell of Lions, Although his rule did not Last, because most of the Lions saw him as a cruel and unfair Leader, when thing began uneasy, The Lions revolted with the help of Joskaa, Burning Blade, Grayria, Winter Lost, and Andiks-5. The attack, then led into a chase, ending in The Prison of Scars, A House of Gray facility. With the bulk of the House of Lions, they were able kill Skeklos, who apparently helped Gray kill Yorvik; Joskaa would then, destroyed the Prison, causing the Gray to trapped, with the War over, The Lion crowned Joskaa, as the new Kell.

Arrival at the Reef

"REPORT:

A Fallen house
Hostile level: 0 (Presumably non-hostile)

Base: 2 Pallas

Personal Response: non-wolf fallen, but has unknown objectives.

-REPORT END "

— A reef agent to command base

The Lions later arrived to the Solar System and moved into the edges of The Reef, living out by the Awoken. But at some point, their Prime Servitor, Jobkis Prime, went missing. Later on, while the Lions were living at 2 Pallas, the Lions had suffered the Siege of Pallas, a massive event, during Reef Wars. Due to this, the Lions began trying to driving the House of Wolves out of reef. But this went unsucceseded, but the Lions caught the attention from the Queen of the Reef, and audience from the Awoken, to learn if they hostile or if they neutral, but Joskaa spoke to Mara, about where the Lions are able to live at, in which they both agreed that the Lions will in uncharted areas of 2 Pallas, with no one knowing their location, except Mara, and Variks.

Wolf Rebellion

Despite not physically being in the Wolves' Rebellion, the Lions were approached by Skolas, who tried to convinced Joskaa into joining forces with him, in order destroy all of the Fallen’s enemies and take back the Traveler to restore their civilization. In which the Lion Kell declined, believe that it would backfire and both of their Houses would suffer terrible casualties, due to their “Champion” being unstoppable and their results could destroy them. He also believes that the Fallen Houses should either leave the System and not chase around for the Traveler, join forces with Humanity, to be close with Great Machine, or should go in hiding to keep their civilization from faltering and further the breaking of the Houses. He sends Skolas back to his Ketch with a broken dagger, and a deactivated Shank. He also tells Skolas, that he should be focusing on searching for Kaliks Prime, rather than trying to be the “Kell of Kells”.

During in the aftermath of the Wolf Rebellion, a Guardian, known as AJ, discovered the lair of the Lions. Attempting to gain their trust, AJ would keep the discovery a secret, and doing several errands for the Kell, such as participating in the Kell's Arena. Sending messages to some Houses, and doing Bounties for the House. He would then, become a honorary Baron and become the Champion of the Kell's Arena, after defeating Kralikss, Joskaa's Champion, the former Champion of the Arena, and would gain trust from Joskaa.

Structure

"House Lions are not like the rest of the others. They are quiet, they prowl, learn your tactics, learn your ways, and learn your weaknesses. But, just like Variks, they are smart enough to side with you than to face death (laughs)."
— Variks, The Loyal
The Lions' Kell, Joskaa

Just like its sister House, the House of Wolves, the Lions has a complex structure within their ranks, as not only that have Kells, Archons, and Prime Servitors as their main Leadership, like most Houses, they also have a new leadership branch that only the Lions are know to have access to, This type of leadership called Fallen Queens. Fallen Queens serve as the Queen of the house and consort of a Kell, but have other duties, as for an example, if the Kell is a female, then the house will pick the second oldest female child or female relative of the previous Kell to serve as Queen for Second-in-command, or if the heir is still a child, then their mother, who should still be the Queen, will serve as the acting leader of the House. They can also get large amounts of Ether. But, if a Kell is too young or unfit to rule, they will be assisted by the Lions' Council, helping make the rules, until the Kell is old enough to rule, and will acts as jury to those who've broken the House's rules. Then have new stations of the house like Lions' Guards, Lion enforcers, Lion pike gangs, Invisible Claws, Lion Scouts, Lion Scavengers, Lion Kell's Guards, Lion mechanics. The structure of the Lions, also differs from the rest of the other Houses. The Dregs of the Lions, are not dishonored Fallen, or shameful, instead, they are criminals, or traitors of the House, and would either be: locked up in Prison, or docked and overseen by a Lion Enforcer, or a Lion High Servitor, similar to a parole, and would serve their penalty, until the Lions' Council lifts the docking, or would go rouge, but would not be able to set foot, within any Lion territory. Lion Vandals has the biggest operational freedom, than the rest of Vandals of other Houses. As they can have any role they want, as they can be Freelancers, giving their serves to other Houses or Factions, but would still be loyal to the Kell of Lions, would serve within battle; as Scouts, solders, marksmen, battle-field medics, or they can serve within the House, as guards, lawmen, Merchants, or Gladiators that fight within the Kell's Arena, Vandals are able to maintain how much their own Ether they can use. Captains have the same roles, as Vandals, but with more power, than the Vandals, as they can either have their own crew, or work solo. They can either be teacher to other Fallen, who trying to become Captains as well, or can serve as field operatives. They can also serve as Wardens, within the House's Prison. Servitors retains the role as machine gods, but, can be utilized by any Fallen crews, factions, or workers, and are no longer only to be used by nobles or high-ranking Captains.

In Destiny 2, however nothing has changed about them, however their Elite variants has a Brown colored armor and white body suit, as for Ultra/Major versions, Their armor color is red and yellow, similar to Joskaa, Lion Kell. Their servitors, same as D1, but for their Elite versions, they have the same model as the Lion High Servitors. As for Ultra Servitor variants are the same as Overpowered Servitors, however, They're painted with red, yellow, and orange marks, similar to the Ultra Lion Members.

Trivia

  • The House of Lions could be the descendants of the House of Wolves, since their Kell was formerly part of the wolves.
    • This theory was later debunked as not true, due to Joskaa’s predecessor, Yorvik was the kell and not a former wolf.
    • However, the Lions are a sister House to the Wolves.
  • To the Lion members, they call the House: "House Lions", while rival Fallen or Non-Fallen May sometimes call the House: "Lion Pack".
  • Even though Finsik, Lion Baron works for the House of Lions, his colors shows that he belong to the House of Exile.
  • They are one of 3 houses that to not worship Servitors, the other 2 is House of Dusk and The Scorn.
    • They are also the first and only house that worship the christian religion.
      • However, after the Crusades of the Jackals, Joskaa allowed the Lions to have the freedom of religion, meaning that the Fallen can worship whatever they want. Most of the Lions went back to worshiping Servitors, while others continued to follow the Christian religion and other Earth religion, notably Joskaa and Askar, Lions' Patriarch.
  • The Lions are the first that eat other food that is not Ether.
  • It was seen that the Empty Tank, was a Hideout to the Lions, seen by it Lion Banners and white flags over the areas (Fan Fiction).
    • It was confirmed by Joskaa, however, the lair was supposed to be used a celebration party area, which was used for victories for the Lions, it also use as a relaxing and cooling down area for Joskaa, as the throne inside the fighting pit chamber was actually a replica of his throne, which the original is inside of Lionship Andiks-Fel (another Fan Fic Story).
  • It has been rumored that there's a House of Lions' Den in the vicinity of Jupiter, as it been noted that there's some Lion Scouts seen on Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter.
  • The Lions are the only known House, to have both their House Archons to desert their House, as Seriviks, the Archon of Andiks Prime, left the House to create The Jackal Syndicate, while Warvriks, Jobkis's Archon deserted his House to join the House of Dusk.
  • Their appearance in D1, stays the same in D2, with the exception of some of their members having a resemblance to House of Dusk Fallen (mostly their Wretch and Marauder units), possibly former Dusk members who defected from Dusk and join the Lion banner. However, ever since Beyond Light, the House of Lions' appearance would change entirely; their units carrying a similar style to their House of Darkness counterparts. This would be the same for the House of Vipers and the House of Emperors.
