The '''House of Dragons''' are a powerful and aggressive [[House]] of [[Fallen]], and are the main antagonists of the ''[[Forum:Season of Fire|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 [[Guardian]]s, along with any other faction that greatly crippled the Fallen.

{{Quote|Dreviks? Oh yeah, I remember him, he was once a legend within the [[House of Wolves]], was very noble and powerful among their ranks, he could have gotten the seat for Kellship, if it wasn't for [[Skolas]]...guess living with the [[Cabal]] on [[Mars]] was enough for him to leave the Wolves...but now instead of joining the [[House of Dusk]], he makes his own House, good for him. But bad for [[The Guardian|You]] and your [[The Last City|City]].|[[User:Joskaa|Joskaa]]}}

After the defeat of [[Orbiks Prime]] during the [[House of Wolves]]'s failed campaign to claim [[Mars]], [[Forum:Dreviks, Dragon Kell|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 [[House of Kings|Kings]] joined his ranks.

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.

While the Dragons' existence would still remain largely unknown at this time, further investigation into the House of Ash by the [[Forum:Iriksi Syndicate|Iriksi Syndicate]] and [[The Guardian]] would lead them to discover that the Ash does not have a strong leadership of their own and that they are being manipulated or controlled by another entity.

The structure of the House of Dragons remain true to traditional Fallen organization, with a single [[Kell]]. However, they have multiple [[Prime Servitor]]s 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. [[Wretch]]es are considered by the Dragons to be of even lower rank than [[Dreg]]s and are treated as such, as Dregs also serve as scouts and manual laborers within their house, and are given the liberty of riding [[Pike]]s, while Wretches are only meant to be sent into battle and die as worthless canon fodder.

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. Similarly to the Wolves, the Dragons also have certain elite groups or posts with special functions, who are also given a certain amount of autonomy, such as the [[Forum:Serpent's Fang|Serpent's Fang]], a special group of highly-trained assassins that answer directly to Dreviks himself, usually meant to take out high priority targets. Another good example of elite groups in service of the house would be the [[Forum:Searing Claw|Searing Claws]], who serve as bodyguards of some of the Dragons' more high-ranking and important members.

[[Servitor]]s in the House are not worshipped as gods unlike in other houses, but are still regarded as important to the Fallen's survival and strength and thus are still revered among them. The same holds true for SIVA, which is not seen by the Dragons as a means of apotheosis, but simply to make them more powerful. A large part of the House of Dragons is also focused on Ether production in general, partly to sustain the Dragons themselves, but mostly to keep the subordinate House of Ash in line. They also have several Barons and Rising Archons dedicated to controlling the House of Ash, either directly or through some sort of proxy.
