- "To my Eliksni sisters and brothers out amongst the stars, and here at home on Europa. We are the future of our kind, and we will destroy all who threaten us. Remember, Light only burns bright so long, but Darkness is forever."
- — Eramis.[1]
The House of Darkness is a Fallen House distinguishable by their white and blue cloaks/armor.
Founded by Eramis, Kell of Darkness, a former Baroness of the House of Devils who originally sought to reform her old House, but later abandoned them to form a new empire comprised of former Devil, Dusk and Wolf members.[2][3]
Eramis led the newly formed House to Europa in hopes of using the Darkness as a means to rebuild their civilization and take vengeance against The Last City.
History
The House of Devils fell into chaos following the deaths of their nobility: Solkis, Kell of Devils, Riksis, Devil Archon, Sepiks Prime, and Aksis, Archon Prime. Leaderless, the Devils would abandon their banners and follow the instructions of the Kell of Kings to merge with the other noble Houses to create the House of Dusk. Those who remained loyal to the other Houses were captured and sent to languish in the Prison of Elders.
A year after the Red War, Variks, The Loyal orchestrated a massive prison break which led to the release of notable Fallen such as Fikrul, Siviks and the Silent Fang. An old House Devils Baroness captured during the Wolf Wars, known as Eramis, also managed to escape the Prison of Elders. Upon learning the demise of Devils nobility, Eramis rallied former Devil traditionalists, saboteurs and loyalists to join her cause in rebuilding the House of Devils.[4] Eramis then sought to harness SIVA to enhance the Devils after learning the conducts of the Devil Splicers.[5]
Recent Events
Raiding the Tower
- "Field reports indicate that Eramis is rallying violent dissidents to reconstruct House Devils from the ground up."
- — Outliers
After their creation, Eramis ordered the Faction to raid the destroyed Tower and steal the Outbreak Perfected Pulse rifle. Led by Siriks, Loyal to Eramis, they broke into the crumbling building and pillaged anything they could find in order to get to the SIVA-powered weapon. This caught the attention of Mithrax, the Forsaken, the Kell of the Fallen House of Light. Mithrax proceeded to drop clues for The Guardian to join him in his attempt to stop the Devil Loyalists. Meeting in secret with the The Guardian in the basement of the barn at The Farm, they rushed to the ruins of the destroyed Tower to stop Eramis’ militants from retrieving the weapon. Together, The Guardian and Mithrax stopped the raiding party, killing Siriks and his allies.
European Aerial Zone
The Faction returned again to attack the European Aerial Zone, attempting to claim it as their own. Led by Phensis, Loyal to Eramis, the Devils found themselves challenged by teams of intervening Guardians, who quickly killed Phensis and drove the Devils out.
Niflheim
Following the Nightmare events of the Moon, Eramis would abandon the Devils banner to lead a new faction of Fallen from the former Houses of Devils, Wolves and Dusk. They were later found to be investigating a dangerous entity on a extra Reef territory called Niflheim. Reports also suggest that Variks, Kell of Judgement to be among the group, but it is unknown if he is a co-conspirator or is being held as a prisoner.[6]

Trivia
- The House of Darkness symbol bears a slight resemblance to, or is based on, parts of House Devil's, King's and Winter's banners.
- The House has also been observed to use the old Eliksni suits and armor from Destiny 1 instead of the more ornamental House of Rain (adopted by the House of Dusk) armor.
