Overview[edit]
The House of Shadow was formed from remnants of Devils, Exiles, Kings, Winter, and Wolves that believed that the House of Dusk would not be able to defeat the Guardians. Using the technology the other houses had, along with the SIVA tech the Devil Splicers had during the SIVA Crisis, they created the House of Shadow. They joined Sumeragi during the Red War. They are distinguishable by black and purple bodysuit along with additional items if they are in higher ranks.
History[edit]
In the aftermath of the SIVA Crisis, the Fallen Houses started to come together following the damage they received throughout the years. However, some members of those Houses knew that the newly formed House of Dusk would fail to defeat the Guardians. So they banded together to form their own House, one so complex that it will be impossible to take down unless they are thorough with its extermination. The House of Shadow was formed when the Red War started, where they quickly hid but monitored the war from the shadows, taking only what they can while everyone was distracted. They were contacted by Sumeragi for the chance for of an alliance with them. Skalos, the current Kell, reluctantly accepted the offer but asked if they were be slaves to Sumeragi. Surprisingly, Nova told them they were be whatever they wanted to be but never slaves. He even granted Skalos the position of being the leader of the Fallen branch of Sumeragi.
Red War aftermath[edit]
All throughout the Red War, the House, in an alliance with the Sumeragi, continued to lay a low profile but kept stealing supplies from all factions. They would learn about the crew of the Almighty securing Mercury with the intent to research more about Vex technology. Informing Sumeragi about this development, Nova requested that they take any information on the Vex themselves and any information on the Red Legion themselves. They would eventually learn that the Vex Sol Collective are trying to shape reality to fit their future, one in which the Vex reign supreme. They also encountered the Chaos Collective, who briefly engaged them in combat but Nova intervened and swiftly ended the conflict. The Collective leaders came to Nova to join Sumeragi for their own future. Nova accepted it but warns that he will watch them for a while until he knows that they wont betray him, his family, and his alliance.
Following the Infinite Forest incident, the House, Sumeragi and Collective gathered intel on a Red Legion dig operation on Mars, where the remnants of the Legion were pursuing energy cells. This prompted the three groups to investigate this mysterious operation and, possibly, steal any information of it. However, they, instead, would discover the hidden Hive faction, the Grasp of Nokris and the Worm God, Xol. They would also encountered the Cult of Darkness and the Black Legion. The Cult informed them that Xol is planning to take control of Mars but the Guardian is handling it, while the Black Legion informed them that Val Ca'uor has seized control of the Red Legion since Ghaul's death. They would also discover Ca'uor's plan to assault and capture Calus' ship. Following this revelation, Sumeragi deployed agents to infiltrate the ship to distract and take down as many Red Legion possible, while a Guardian Raid Team take down Ca'uor.
Scorn Assault[edit]
A few months later, a message was intercepted from Reef informing that a prison riot was happening in the Prison of Elders. Piquing the interest of Nova, he send a task force of Fallen, Cabal and Adeptroid to investigate this riot. They learn that the Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6 was killed by the hands of the Scorn Barons. Needless to say, this enraged Nova, forcing him to pursue vengeance, sending the Shades to assassinate the Barons. However, he would learn that the Guardian who accompanied Cayde during the riot was personally pursuing vengeance themselves. So the Shades, instead, made sure that no enemies protecting the Barons would interrupt the Guardian in their crusade for vengeance. They eventually followed the Guardian to the last Baron, and Uldren Sov, where they learned that he was mind-controlled by Riven since the Taken War. The Shades then witnessed Uldren Sov get devoured by a Taken Chimera, before being freed and killed. They reported back to Sumeragi and told everyone what has happened. After hearing of the events that transpired in the Tangled Shore, Nova ordered all Shadow troops to keep an eye out for the Awoken City to report any developments. Scouts would eventually find out that an Ahamkara named Riven was Taken in the Taken War and began spreading Blight throughout the Dreaming City. Following her death, they would also discover that Quria has placed a curse on the city to be time-looped over the course of three weeks thanks to the Ahamkara's dying wish.
Black Armory[edit]
A few months later, a group of Shades located a Black Armory forge in Egypt and informed Sumeragi of it. A Shadow Priest, Axiki, would investigate the forge and discovered that it can create powerful weapons for the House and, by extension, Sumeragi itself. He and his soldiers took the forge to his personal Ketch and brought it to one of their research bases, where Weapon forgers managed to create their own version of the forge. Afterwards, they gave it to the Black Legion, along with their notes of the forge itself. Weeks later, they encountered the Shadow Guardians with Uldren Sov as a representative for the group, void of his memories. They joined Sumeragi, but warns that Uldren will kill Nova if he betrayed them. Meanwhile, Skalos would deploy several Shade troops to the House of Dusk after learning the younger members of the house have begun isolating themselves from traditional Eliksni beliefs. The Shades would recruit many members of the Dusk. Meanwhile, they learned that a crime syndicate called the Kell's Scourge was attempting to locate the other forges and have them create weapons for them, even as far as dispatching a Prime Servitor, armed with a giant mech armed with Black Armory weaponry and tech designed for said prime, to the ruins of the Last City in a attempt to locate an vault containing these weapons and advanced tech. Skalos sent Shades troops to observe the battle between the syndicate and Guardians. Following the showdown between a Fireteam of Guardians and the Prime Servitor, one of the Shades suggested that the House would retrieve the mech and repurposed it for their own usage.
Old Tower assaulted[edit]
Skalos learned that Eramis has escaped the Prison of Elders during the riot and informed Nova of the revelation, while sending multiple Shades to look for any information on her. The Shades reported that the Vanguard has learned that Variks caused the riot so he could escape the Awoken and become Kell of Kells. They also reported that Eramis has brought multiple Devil Loyalists to her cell, thus creating a fifth Fallen faction with the weakened and splintered House of Dusks, House of Judgement, The Spider's Syndicate, and the Scorn.
Nightmare[edit]
Months later, the Cult of Darkness reported mysterious Hive activities on the Moon. Catching the interest of Nova, he would send a strike force consisting of Shadows troops and Cult troops. The leaders of the strike force, Nakos, Shadow Prince and Ko Mal, Blade of Shira, would discover that Crota had daughters and were attempting to revive Oryx since, technically, the Guardians never took Oryx's power. They also found a pyramid-shaped ship within the depths of the Scarlet Keep. They both informed all members of the Sumeragi leadership of this discovery, even showing a photo of the ship. Following this discovery, Nova dispatched Vex and Cabal troops to recon the site of the ship. However, the task force would learn that the pyramid created spectral beings called Nightmares and the Hive's allegiance and minimal control of these entities. They would also learn about a fleet of Pyramid ships on the edge of the solar system.
Sol Divisive[edit]
The Shades in the strike force would also discover that the Vex of the Sol Divisive have started invading the moon. A Shade Captain informed the Chaos Collective of this development, in which the defiant collective discovered that the Undying Mind has been reactivated. The Shades also discovered that Ikora had begun developing a device to fight the Axis Mind. They would replicate the work and would use the machine to kidnap a copy of the Mind while the Guardians faced off against the Sol Divisive's army. They gave the mind to the Collective as a gift, as well as reassurance to their alliance.
Sundial[edit]
Sometime after the events on the moon, a group of Black Legion Cabal would reveal that a sizable army of Red Legion Cabal was regrouping on Mercury. They contacted the closest group of Sumeragi troops, which were the Shades, who then informed of this discovery and dispatched them to discover what they were planning. The Shades and Black Legion troops devised a plan for reconnaissance, as well as a way to keep Sumeragi informed without picking up attention from an active Cabal force. The Black Legion would disguise themselves as Red Legion soldiers and would infiltrate the group and learn who is leading them, while the Shades, save for one, observes the situation while one informant would reveal the details of the Red Legion operation to the leaders of Sumeragi about this development. The disguised members of the Black Legion discovered that a triune of Psion Flayers were leading the Red Legion splinter factions. Luckily, the Guardian and their allies managed to put an end to the plans the Psions thanks to Osiris and a device called the Sundial maintaining the victorious outcome of the Red War, as well as saving the legendary Exo Titan, Saint-14.
Seraph Assault[edit]
Skalos and his house would then learn that the Red Legion remnants, led by the final sister of the triune, Amtec, planned and attempted to crash the Almighty to the Last City. They informed Nova of this, leading him to command all Sumeragi forces to find a way to stop the Almighty. Merak, a member of the Adeptroid, informed everyone that Rasputin has awoken all of his defenses, and that they have an opportunity to acquire some of its technology. House Shadow, the Darkness Cult and the Black Legion agreed and had deployed some detachments and salvager groups to several locations where Rasputin was active while the Guardians began plans to destroy the Almighty. They managed to acquire several caches of Warmind tech, including the Seven Seraphs weapons.
The Arrival[edit]
Suddenly, following the destruction of the Almighty, all branches of Sumeragi reported the arrival of the Pyramid ships on Titan, Io, Mercury and Mars, causing Nova, Skalos, Nikros, Atlas, and Xa'lus to order all troops from those locations to bring back all supplies and equipment and return to Pluto and Neptune where they watched as the Pyramids reversed what the Traveler did. The House of Shadow managed to relocate all their supplies from Mercury and Titan, leaving behind token bases on those locations. Most of the special projects that were either mostly done or halfway completed, which were sent away to secure locations, while the projects that were started or about halfway done were scrapped while the notes, research and innovations for them were sent to Shadow Lair.
House of Salvation[edit]
Skalos and his House would finally find Eramis, and would discover that she has made the House of Salvation, a megahouse created from the remnants of Wolves and Devils along with deserters of Dusk. They also discover the Splinters of Darkness that gave them Stasis, as well as the tech that controls the powers, as well as their Brig assault platforms, mirrored after the work of the Kell's Scourge, intriguing them. They would discuss their discoveries to Sumeragi, which Nova quickly orders them to acquire Splinters of Darkness to enhance all Sumeragi members except for the Adeptroid. The House immediately set out for Europa to get these Splinters and acquire the newly created Brig war mech. They managed to acquire many Splinters and Brigs for the House and Sumeragi. Giving the Splinters to the Cult of Darkness, Chaos Collective and the Black Legion, all divisions managed to adeptly wield the dark powers. As for the House, they gained new Stasis powers, which make then made a new, powerful branch of the House: the Ice Wraiths. They also stole the Technocrat's technology, including bulky, yet resilient drones that projected immunity shields. Following the Guardian's raid on the Deep Stone Crypt and the destruction of Taniks, the Abomination, former Splicer Priestess Mryziss would gather some of her most loyal followers and uploaded all of their consciousnesses into modified and enhanced Exo bodies mirrored after Atraks's work, creating the powerful and widely feared Exo Wrath division. They would also locate Taniks, who managed to survive the engagement but was severely wounded and damaged. Thanks to Mryziss' genius and technological insight, they managed to repair him, transforming him into Taniks-1.
Ploy of the War Goddess[edit]
Weeks into the Vanguard's war with Eramis's House of Salvation, the factions of Sumeragi would report mysterious energy spikes around the Solar System. Curious about the new developments, House of Shadow leadership would send scouts to investigate these disturbances. Of these scouts were brother and sister Talnak and Althyks, who would be the first of Sumeragi to discover an inert Cryptolith. Following this discovery, Nova would order his armies to research more into these devices. However, when the Darkness Cult would finally uncover their purpose, they all activated, seizing the minds of those around them, turning those who succumbed to the Cryptoliths into mindless, bloodthirsty peons of the Hive God of War and other sister of Oryx, Xivu Arath. Among them was Taln
