{{Quote|For centuries, our [[Fallen|people]] have [[House of Wolves (expansion)|suffered]] [[Rise of Iron|pain]] [[Zero Hour|and]] [[Beyond Light|death]] at the hands of the [[Traveler|Traitor Machine]] and its [[Guardian|weaklings]]. We thought this was the end of us all, but then the [[Forum:The Black Swordsman|Black Swordsman]] and his [[Forum:The White Angel|angel]] showed us the way... a true path to rebirth. With [[Darkness|this power]], we can have the opportunity to create our new future! Our enemies will soon know what it's like to die without honor! Without glory! Without valor! Without Light! And in the end, we will drive our blades straight through their [[Ghost|shells]] and their hearts!|[[Forum:Kotrik|Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Kirito]].}}
The '''House of Shadows''', also known as '''House Shadows''' in Eliksni, is a new massive [[Fallen]] [[Mega House]] distinguishable by their black and purple bodysuits with green dragon marks/sigils with white cloaks along with additional coloring and or items, each powerful by length for those in higher ranks. Working under the [[Forum:Shadowkeeper|Shadowkeepers]], they assisted [[Forum:The Black Swordsman|The Black Swordsman]] and [[Forum:The White Angel|The White Angel]] in destroying [[The Last City]] so that they can rebuild their civilization with the [[Darkness]].

Founded by [[Forum:Kotrik|Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Kirito]], a former [[Archon]] of the [[House of Devils]] who survived the destruction of [[Riis]] during the [[Whirlwind]] long ago, the House of Shadows is a dark empire comprised of former members of other Houses and syndicates, including [[House of Salvation|Salvation]], [[House of Dusk|Dusk]], [[House of Wolves|Wolves]], Devils, [[Kell's Scourge]], and [[Forum:Castris's Criminal Empire|Castris's Criminal Empire]], who have rallied under Kotrik out of desperation, ambition, and revenge due to numerous losses over the years from the [[Guardian]]s and allies of the [[Light]]. Believing that the [[Traveler]] was responsible for the [[Whirlwind]] that drove most of their people to extinction, they aim not only to destroy the Guardians and claim their revenge against the Traveler, but also to restore their society to greatness.

During the [[Forum:Second Collapse|Second Collapse]], Kotrik led the newly formed House across the [[Solar System]] and acquired the powers of the Darkness, helping [[Forum:The Black Fleet|The Black Fleet]] launch an invasion on The Last City, which led to the enshroudment of the [[Solar System]].

==Structure==
Though the House of Shadows is made of up members from a multitude of other Eliksni factions, it is much more organized and disciplined compared to the other Fallen Houses, a testament to Kotrik's plan to continue what [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] left off. With a number of lieutenants at his disposal, Kotrik was able to maintain a firm grip on his forces, using Splinters of Darkness that are harvested from nearby [[Crux of Darkness|Crux]]s utilizied by Kyuvekis's drone technology and from shards of [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|Mal]]'s Birthright Jewel retrofitted with dark energy from the Black Fleet capable of empowering them with the same dark energies that turned her evil. Further, their command over Fusion and Marrow makes Fallen of this House especially dangerous. In addition, with so many different Fallen joining forces under Kotrik's banner, their various tactics and technologies give them an edge on the battlefield, almost overwhelming their foes.

==Trivia==
*The House of Shadows symbol bears a resemblance to [[Forum:Mallory Bertha|Mallory Bertha]]'s dragon-shaped marking, which coincidentally also appeared in [[Wikipedia:Descendants: Wicked World|Descendants: Wicked World]].
*The House has also been observed to use what looks to be amalgamations of the Eliksni suits and armor from both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2.
*While this House is the second House to worship the Darkness, it is the first and only House to also worship anime characters.
**It is further explained through lore entries suggesting their strange passion for [[Wikipedia:Catgirl|catgirls]].
*The House of Shadows is currently the only House to deploy Neko Captains and Servitors.
