Delksis's Coup was a conflict that occurred after the Gray Wars when a House of Lions Baron known as Delkris conspired to overthrow Joskaa, the Kell of Lions, after becoming disillusioned with his views that seemed to threaten the nature of the House in the eyes of Delkris. Amassing followers ranging from those who were unloyal to the Kell, and others who were originally elites belonging to Skevsis, the Prowling, and even the Archon Priest of Jobiks Prime. Delkris attempted to push to the extremes in order to outright kill or remove the Kell, leading to an attempted assassination on Joskaa's family, and later a botched heist for Jobiks Prime, resulted in its destruction, leading to the self-exile of Warvriks, who became disillusioned with Delkris.

Eventually, Magnusk would investigate, and with the help of Julsis, Lion Baron and his Lion Enforcers, uncovers the plot and arrest all of his conspirators, who were stripped of their status and were locked in Cyro-Pods as punishment. Delkris himself was sent to Joskaa himself by the Enforcers, leading to the Kell beating Delkris to near death before cutting off the Baron's cape and tearing off all of Delkris's arms with his bare hands. Seemingly reducing him to a Dreg, Joskaa declared all of Delkris' resources and titles to be given to the rest of the House who needed it more than he did and ordered his Enforcers to drag him through Andiks-Fel for all to see to understand not to betray him. Thus, ending the conflict.

However, it was revealed that the coup was actually influenced by Tikmiks, the son of Skevsis, and with the self-exile of Warvriks, attempted to became the next House Archon. But as Jobiks Prime was immediately replaced by the surviving Andiks Prime, Joskaa immediately turned Tikmiks down and choose his sister, Seriviks, to become the next Archon, surprising both her and Tikmiks. As a result, Tikmiks went hiding as the Lions reached the Sol System, abandoning his House while escaping on a Skiff supported by Archon Servants loyal to him.
