The '''House of Dusk''' is a [[Fallen]] House, distinguishable by their dark purple cloaks and armor. They emerged following the advent of the [[Red War]] and were founded by the former [[Awoken]] Prince [[Uldren Sov]] under orders by the [[Kell]] of [[House of Kings]], [[Craask, Kell of Kings|Craask]]. They are engaged in conflicts with every other faction in the system.

==History==
===Origin===
[[File:Mithrax1.gif|thumb|300px|Former Wolf Born, Mithrax the Forsaken]]
{{quote|Thou shalt tell the Eliksni to tear off their banners. Thou shalt tell them that we must all surrender to each other. We must give up our rivalries, or we will not survive.|[[Craask, Kell of Kings]]}}<ref name="kings"/>

Sometime after the [[Reef]]'s disastrous attack on the [[Dreadnaught]], the surviving Prince [[Uldren Sov]] allowed himself to be captured by the [[House of Kings]] to gain an audience with their Kell, Craask. Craask reluctantly bent the knee to Uldren and beseeched him to carry the message to every other Fallen House to abandon their old loyalties, end their rivalries and join together for the sake of survival.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Age of Triumph]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Allies|Allies]]/[[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries|Legends & Mysteries]], [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: The Reef 4|Ghost Fragment: The Reef 4]]''</ref><ref name="kings">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Forsaken]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Forsaken Prince|The Forsaken Prince]], [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Kings|Kings]]''</ref>

The House of Dusk adopted their purple banners from the House of Rain that attacked a settlement of [[Mercury]] when it was still a garden world. The armor of the House of Rain was also adopted, more ornamental in appearance due to the House's prophetical stance. These contrasted rather starkly with the Fallen's previous more militant armor which was nearly full-body.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/6)''', ''[[Weblore]]:[[Weblore:Season of Dawn|Season of Dawn]] - [[Weblore:Season of Dawn#The Sundial|The Sundial]]''</ref>

Following the [[Devil Splicers]]' defeat at the peak of the [[SIVA Crisis]], the Fallen collectively retreated from all of their hardcore strongholds, leaving behind their banners and armor in ceremonial piles and burnt ash.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/28/3)''', ''Destiny: Age of Triumph - Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries, [[Grimoire:Allies/Legends & Mysteries#Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 6]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Destiny Grimoire Anthology, Volume II]]''', "[[Destiny_Grimoire_Anthology,_Volume_II#House_of_Dusk|House of Dusk]]", ''100''</ref>

===The Red War===
{{Quote|Fallen comms, still trying to reach their brothers and sisters. Some of these headers are still marked with House sigils. House of Devils, House of Wolves…|[[Ghost]]}}<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - Ghost scan: [[Ghost scan#European Dead Zone, Earth|EDZ-FBH-4]]''</ref>
Nearly a year after the SIVA Crisis, around the time of the [[Red War]], the House of Dusk suddenly emerged, with no sign of the other Fallen Houses being present outside of the ruins.<ref name="NEX77">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - Ghost scan: [[Ghost_scan#Arcadian_Valley.2C_Nessus|NE-X77-1]]''</ref> The House of Dusk entered a massive guerrilla war with [[Red Legion]] forces across the [[Sol System]] as well as battling the Hive and Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/9/8)''', ''Destiny 2''</ref>

====Earth====
[[File:Ketch D2.jpg|thumb|300px|House of Dusk Ketch above the European Dead Zone]]

The House of Dusk first became known when [[The Guardian]] sought the [[Shard of the Traveler]] to [[Spark|recover]] their [[Light]]. A former Wolf noble, [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed|Skriviks]], who disappeared after the [[Wolf Rebellion]] returned under the banner of Dusk. Accompanied by her lieutenants [[Tikkis, Diminished Scrapper|Tikkis]] and [[Maksor, Starving Scavenger|Maksor]], she and her crew launched a counterattack to reclaim the Shard of the [[Traveler]], but met their end when the Guardians regained their powers.<ref name="Spark">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Spark]]''</ref>

Later, when the Guardians returned to attain new subclasses, they met resistance from [[Poknis, Order Captain|Poknis]], a Prime Servitor named [[Brandaks Prime]] and a [[Graviton Burner]] heavy shank. The Fallen were trying to harness the corrupted [[Light]] of the Traveler's Shard but ultimately failed.<ref name="SotT">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Shard of the Traveler (mission)|Shard of the Traveler]]''</ref>

In the European Dead Zone, [[Raksil, Archon Priest|Raksil]] and [[Serkuleks, the Fount|Serkuleks]] were responsible for producing and distributing an enhanced variety of ether by using modified Cabal technology. This would strengthen the nearby Fallen into a class of Empyrean capable of eliminating the Cabal.<ref name="ET:E">'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Experimental Treatment]]: [[Enhance]]''</ref>

During the [[Larceny]] mission, the High Servitor [[Teleks-5]] led an offensive against the Cabal alongside a crew of Fallen to scavenge supplies.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Larceny]]''</ref> Later in the [[The Arms Dealer|Arms Dealer]] strike, the House of Dusk would infiltrate [[Firebase Hades]] again and enter a massive battle against the forces of [[Bracus Zahn]], a weapons supplier for the Red Legion. They were however pushed back by a Fireteam when the [[Vanguard]] enlisted them to eliminate Zahn.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/09/09)''', ''Destiny - [[The Arms Dealer]]''</ref> The increased campaigns against the Cabal highlight a greater show of strength especially when former Houses would refrain from such tactics.

====Titan====
[[File:Mithraxfight.gif|thumb|300px|Mithrax battling Hive Knight, Golthor]]
When Commander Zavala fled to Titan to establish a secret base against the Red Legion, the House of Dusk saw an opportunity to follow him there. The Fallen quickly got to work after finding long abandoned [[Golden Age]] cities such as the [[New Pacific Arcology]] ripe for plunder and intercepted many unmanned shipments sent to Earth by Sloane.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/09/04)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [[Scatterhorn Suit#Scatterhorn Mask / Helm / Hood|Scatterhorn Helmet]]''</ref> 

As they encroached into Hive territory, the two races began a bitter feud. In the Savathûn Song strike, the Fallen fought for dominance against the Guardians as the two sought to investigate the Hive territory past the [[Solarium]].<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Savathûn's Song (strike)|Savathûn's Song]]''</ref>

Later, a group of Fallen led by [[Mithrax, the Forsaken]] compete against the Guardians to gain access to an ancient methane reactor to double or triple the Ether production output for their Servitors. Mithrax, always one step ahead of the Guardians, constructs various barriers and enlists the High Servitor [[Selkis, the Obstructor|Selkis]] to prevent the Guardians from reaching the reactor. Fallen [[Walker]]s would be deployed to fend off Hive Orges and Knights swarming the complex. Finally, Mithrax is seen duelling against [[Golthor, the Subtle|Golthor]], during which Guardians are given a choice of who to kill. Killing the Hive Knight and sparing Mithrax will trigger an ending in which he'll thank the Guardians with an Eliksni display of respect, to Zavala's surprise. He disappears and grants the player access to the reactor, putting questions to a Fallen and Human alliance.<ref name="C&C">'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Chances and Choices]]''</ref>

====Nessus====
[[File:Thaviks.gif|300px|thumb|Guardians battling Thaviks, the Depraved]]
After following [[Cayde-6]] to Nessus, the House of Dusk quickly established themselves by setting up Fallen comms with Titan and EDZ, forming a triumvirate communication network using modified House of Kings encryptions.<ref name="NEX77"/><ref name="TMSW1">'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - Ghost scan: [[Ghost_scan#New_Pacific_Arcology.2C_Titan|TM-SW-1]]''</ref>

In the mission [[Six]], the Dusk launch a large-scale attack against the [[Vex]] near the remains of the [[Exodus Black]]. The Vex displeased with the Fallen moving into their territory go into a muderous rampage and defend themselves with [[Acanthos, Gate Lord]]. The Dusk counter with [[Fallen Walker]]s to push past the Vex.<ref name=Six">'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Six]]''</ref>

[[Jaliks, Fallen Captain|Jaliks]], the commander leading the charge arrives and stations his Ketch above the Exodus Black. His crew attempted to crack [[Failsafe]]'s defensive shields and deploy Servitors to hack the network, only to short circuit. They also set up terminals for remote access into Exodus Black's security system. Jaliks would ultimately die at the hands of the Guardian.<ref name=Six"/>

In [[Exodus Siege]], the Dusk continue their pursuit to destroy Failsafe's mainframe so they can scrap her for parts. [[Elyksul, Assault Leader|Elyksul]] leads the second assault and corrects past mistakes by deploying a special Assault unit with cloaking and sending signals behind a massive barrier powered by Vex tech to avoid detection. The Guardian intervenes by annihilating the assault and traces Elyksul back to their hidden cavern. After fighting through numerous [[Assault Servitor]]s, they kill the Captain and end their siege.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Exodus Siege]]''</ref>

In [[Exodus Crash]], the Dusk attempt a third raid on the Exodus Black, this time on the secondary hull where Failsafe is blind. [[Thaviks, the Depraved|Thaviks]] led this raid, holding himself up inside the hull and deploying even more forces, which included [[Fallen Walker|Walkers]] and [[Heavy Shank]]s outside the area. However, a Fireteam led by the Guardian was able to break through the defensive line and kill Thaviks, discouraging any more Dusk Fallen from raiding the Exodus.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Exodus Crash]]''</ref>

Though the Fallen would try to scrap Failsafe at various points, she however would be sympathetic towards them when the Vex started imprisoning the Fallen. Failsafe enlists the Guardian's help in the adventure [[Release]] to fight through the Vex network and free the Fallen. Later it is discovered that Vex promised to release the Fallen only if they fight each other to the death, but the Fallen held together by genuine loyalty did not attack one another, signifying an end of old House rivalries.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/09/23)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Release]]''</ref>

===Red War Aftermath===
[[File:DuskDefectors.jpg|thumb|300px|House of Dusk defectors]]
{{Quote|House of Dusk, fah! House of Desperation! House of Erased Differences! Differences define us.|[[The Spider]].}}<ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.light.gg/db/items/2672345035/wanted-mazan-lost-captain/ Wanted: Mazan Lost Captain]''</ref>

One year after the Red War, the House of Dusk entered into a civil war with the [[Scorn]], following their breakout from the [[Prison of Elders]]. By then, the House had entered a state of dishevel after its conceiver, Craask was betrayed by Uldren and killed at the hands of [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Lore:the Forsaken Prince, [[Lore:The Forsaken Prince#Docking|Docking]]''</ref>   

With the release of former inmates and the demise of the [[House of Wolves]], the House of Dusk saw a surge of membership which included the [[Silent Fang]], [[Queenbreaker]]s, [[Pallas Siegebreaker]]s and those affiliated with [[Student of Beltrik|Beltrik]] and [[Irxis Partisan|Irxis]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/wanted-silent-fang-4 Wanted: Silent Fang]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/wanted-queenbreaker Wanted: Queenbreaker]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/wanted-pallas-siegebreaker Wanted: Pallas Siegebreaker]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/wanted-student-of-beltrik Wanted: Studant of Beltrik]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/08/31)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/items/wanted-irxis-partisan Wanted: Irxis Partisan]''</ref>

Despite having these new recruits, the House of Dusk continues to splinter and suffer, as agents of the Last City have observed that many of its members deserted to either join the [[The Spider|Spider]] and his [[House of Spider|criminal syndicate]], the [[Kell's Scourge]] led by his brother [[Siviks, Lost to None|Siviks]], return to [[Zero Hour|old allegiances]], or strike out on their own. Following Siviks' mounting failures and death by the Guardians, the House of Dusk continues to fracture and radicalize; the result of a lack of a unified leadership.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Drifter]] - Lore:[[Lore:Stolen Intelligence|Stolen Intelligence]], [[Lore:Stolen Intelligence#Outliers|Outliers]]''</ref>

===Return to the Moon===
{{Quote|The House of Dusk is not the future of the Fallen, but it is a sign of their evolution— of a future yet to come… No longer the desperate fools clinging to a lost history and misguided faith in machines. I am curious as to what the Eliksni will become on the far side of their current struggle.|[[Toland]]}}<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Patrol/Dialogue#Traitor.27s_Ketch|Field Assignment: Active Duty]]: [[Traitor's Ketch]]''</ref>
[[File:Newlightarchon.gif|thumb|300px|A Dusk leader seen in the New Light mission]] 
A year after the events of the [[Hunt for the Scorn]], the house is now more fractured and divided than before. The re-emergence of the [[House of Devils]], the birth of the [[House of Light]] and Variks, The Loyal's [[House of Judgment]] have only further drained the ranks of what was once considered a unified Fallen House. Despite this, however, the Fallen have seemingly made one last haven for themselves on the Moon. Exploiting the crashed Ketch, [[Wolfship Kaliks-Syn]], they now hold a lot of the old territory that they once did. Even despite this, the legacy of the House of Dusk seems to be drenched in failure, at the start of the Red War, they were the largest House ever to threaten the System. But, with their constant defeats at the hands of the Guardians and with no Kell in the absence of an Elder Cipher, they have no legitimate leadership.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''Destiny 2: Shadowkeep''</ref>

The House would continue to act as scavengers during both the [[Almighty Crisis]] and the [[Arrival of the Black Fleet]], looking to pillage the technologies that were being employed by the Vanguard. All the Dusk residing on Titan would disappear with it when the moon was Taken by the [[Black Fleet]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Worthy]] - [[Seraph Tower]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/3/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Worthy - [[Seraph Bunker]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of Arrivals]] - [[Contact]]''</ref>

===War of Salvation and Rise of the War God===
{{Quote|Variks hears whispers. House Salvation still calls out to House Dusk. Even with no Kell, they do not relent.|[[Variks, the Loyal]]}}{{Citation needed}}

The House of Dusk would continue to splinter following [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] and her [[House of Salvation]]'s rise to power. Seeking to join the powerful Kell in her campaign against the [[Traveler]], many Fallen would abandon the House, further eroding its ranks. The vanguard of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s forces also made itself known on the Tangled Shore, where her brood planted [[Cryptolith]]s that brainwashed many of the Dusk into [[Wrathborn]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Beyond Light]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Hunt]]''</ref> Despite these setbacks, it was revealed that the House of Dusk had claimed old Devil territory in the [[Cosmodrome]] from the Hive. Eramis would also send an envoy, [[Bakris, the Adamantine|Bakris]], to parley with these elements and convince them to help her in the war against the Last City. However, Guardians would continue interfering time and time again, keeping this remnant of the House of Dusk on the backfoot by killing its [[Deksis-5, Taskmaster|commanders]] and sabotaging their [[Exodus Garden 2A|infrastructure]].<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''Destiny 2: Beyond Light - [[Exodus Garden 2A]]''</ref>

===Return of Titan===
The House of Dusk members that remained on Titan would be left to contend with the maddening influence of the [[The Witness|Witness]]. When the moon [[Skirmish of Titan|re-emerged]], the survivors were found to have torn down their banners and been driven crazy in the service of Xivu Arath.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/23)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Season of the Deep]] - [[Sloane]]: [[Deep Dive#Coral Siphoner|"Hive, Taken, Fallen who never made it off Titan, driven out of their minds."]]''</ref> They would come into conflict with Guardian fireteams, which were tasked with retrieving [[Golden Age]] materials and [[Egregore|egregore coral]] from [[Kraken Mare]]. A notable example is the [[Servitor]] [[J4W-S, Wrath-Hunter Servitor|J4W-S]], who was turned into a predatorial [[Wrathborn]] and hunted Vanguard recon teams by driving them into areas infested with [[Hive]] and [[Taken]]. It would eventually be confronted and destroyed by Guardians to retrieve the coral they needed.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/22)''', ''Destiny 2: Season of the Deep - [[Operation Thunderbolt (Twilight)]]''</ref>

===Cosmodrome Arms Deal===
During the [[Operation Ahamkara|operation]] to stop the [[The Witness|Witness]] and prevent them from completing the Final Shape, the Guardian would help [[Micah-10]] to do what they could to heal the [[The Traveler|Traveler]] and helping to locate several lost [[Ghost]]s. One of these [[The Desperation|missions]] involved finding and saving Hecate, a Ghost that was investigating a rumor that members of House Dusk were moving back into the old [[House of Devils]] territory in the [[Cosmodrome]], despite the Devils having been gone for a long time. Once they got close to the location, Micah, Cayde and the Guardian would intercept Eliksni communications bristling with talks about a new [[Prime Servitor]] and the fact that remnants of House of Dusk were indeed gathering in the area. Approaching the [[The Devils' Lair (location)|old Devil's Lair]], the Guardian would face [[Brig]]s produced by [[House of Salvation|House Salvation]] who however were not flying that House's colors, initially leading the team to think that they might be the property of Pirates and that who was bankrolling this Eliksni operation had a great arsenal.<ref name="desperation">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''Destiny 2: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Desperation]]''</ref>.

When the team overcame the House of Dusk's defenses, infiltrated their new fortress and defeated [[Sepiks Prime]] once again, Micah detected a House Salvation [[Ketch]] launch, even though the Vanguard thought their forces had rallied at the Pale Heart to serve the Witness. Additionally, Cayde recognized some of the defeated Fallen as renegades from [[House of Wolves]], leading him to deduce that they had interrupted an arms deal and that the House Dusk was offering Eramis a Prime Servitor in exchange for weapons. This track not only implied that [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]] was more [[Ether]]-starved than the House of Dusk refugees and that she was not working under the Witness anymore but also that House of Dusk had a spare Prime Servitor to give her, meaning that they must have had another one or an alternative supply of Ether<ref name=desperation/>.

===Nessian Mercenaries===
{{quote|Fallen incoming! I have seen this crew repeatedly enter Shadow Legion territory. With no casualties on either side."<br>"It's likely the Shadow Legion are offering them the security a House would otherwise provide. In exchange for… what?|Failsafe and Ikora Rey}}<ref name="breach"/>
At some point during the [[Upheaval on Nessus]], House Dusk Pirates would investigate the planetoid following the increased Vex and Coalition activity after the crash of an [[Echo (object)|Echo]]. Led by the Baron [[Kalliks, Baron of House Dusk|Kalliks]], they would start to work with the [[Shadow Legion]] as their mercenaries, using their channels to communicate, having their bombs modified by the Dark Cabal and receiving support on the field from their forces. In addition [[Failsafe]] would detect the Fallen crews operating on Nessus repeatedly entering Shadow Legion territory with no incidents, leading [[Ikora Rey]] to speculate that a new force was driving the Shadow Legion to continue sending scouts to Nessus supported by the Fallen Pirates, offering them the security a House would normally provide but without understanding what in exchange for.<ref name="breach">'''Bungie (2024/6/11)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Breach Executable]]''</ref>

A Guardian fireteam would later intercept an operation led by Kalliks to capture [[Nessian Schism]] units within the [[Well of Flame]] to extract any intel they possess on their way to delve into Nessus to directly confront the [[Maya Sundaresh|Conductor]]. Despite his repeated attempts to flee deeper into the Well to escape them and make a stand to protect one of the captured Vex [[Hypolydron, Captive Mind|Minds]], Kalliks would be killed by the Guardians, the captured Vex would be destroyed and the House of Dusk would be kept from getting deeper into Nessus.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Episode: Echoes - [[Battleground: Delve]]''</ref>

==Structure==
[[File:DuskSkiff.gif|thumb|300px|Skiffs deploying Dusk troops on Nessus]]
{{Quote|And what does Dusk stand for? They do not know. This is telling.|[[Variks, the Loyal]]}}{{Citation needed}}

Primarily distinguishable by their dark purple cloaks and new weapons, their eyes glow an intense turquoise, much brighter than the pale blue seen in Fallen from [[Destiny]] 1, and wear very little armour, instead choosing to rely on their natural exoskeletons for protection. What armor remains is heavily weathered and worn down.

The House can be found on [[Earth]], [[Titan (moon)|Titan]], [[Nessus]], and [[Luna]], warring with every other alien faction in the system. Within the House of Dusk, the Fallen no longer worship [[Servitor]]s and machines as they used to{{Citation needed}}, having devoted their energy towards simple survival. With their emergence, they are believed to be the most powerful active Fallen faction in the [[Sol System]].

Evidence strongly implies that the House of Dusk is an amalgamation of the remnants of other Fallen Houses. Dusk structure bears a level of complexity similar to the [[House of Wolves]], though they ultimately follow no Kell leadership. While united for the sake of survival, they operate similarly to the former [[House of Exile]]: with respective crews led by [[Barons]] working independently of each other.{{Citation needed}} Multiple specialized forces are given their own set of tasks. Pike gangs are sent to patrol Fallen territory and harass intruders.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Unsafe At Any Speed]]''</ref> Signal crews led by recon specialists and stealth troops hack into and jam communication devices used by enemy forces to prevent them from strategizing.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Poor Reception]]''</ref> Glimmer extraction crews use Glimmer Drills to acquire wealth and resources.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Glimmer Extraction]]''</ref> All of these divisions are given their leaders from the ranks of their nobility.{{Citation needed}}

The House of Dusk is actively calling other Fallen to join with it. Fallen banners displayed in Trostland bore a crude version of the [[House of Judgment]]'s sigil, but the banners were seemingly used as warnings rather than to mark territory ownership.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[A New Frontier]]''</ref> Some Fallen tech also found in the area once belonged to the [[House of Winter]] and had been transported from [[Venus]]. While a communications device in [[Siren's Watch]] was discovered to be using variants of encryption protocols derived from the [[House of Kings]].<ref name="TMSW1"/> A former [[Skriviks, the Sharp-Eyed|noble]] of the [[House of Wolves]] was found to have joined the ranks of the House of Dusk.<ref name="Spark"/> Lastly, the House produces [[Heavy Shank]]s based on the [[House of Devils]]' [[S.A.B.E.R.-2]] prototype. [[Ghost]] notes that where [[Skolas]] failed in uniting the Houses, sheer desperation (due to the massive losses faced in the [[Taken War]] and [[SIVA Crisis]]) succeeded in burying old grudges.<ref name="Rig"/> 

Another unusual characteristic is that it utilizes Servitors from multiple lines (Brandaks, Drensik, Kendriks, Kiriks, Merix, Nariks, Selkis, Serkuleks, and Teleks), a practice previously only seen with the [[House of Wolves]], which used two lines (Kaliks and Orbiks).<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Hunted|Fallen Hunted]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen Hunted#WANTED: Mecher Orbiks-11|WANTED: Mecher Orbiks-11]]''</ref> Furthermore, it possesses multiple Prime Servitors where no Fallen House had been known to follow more than a single Prime Servitor at once. They were almost never deployed offensively except where the Fallen believed that they had an overwhelming advantage{{Citation needed}} or when their lair was invaded.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[The Devils' Lair (strike)|The Devils' Lair]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''Destiny: [[The Taken King]] - [[Prime's Path]]''</ref> The House of Dusk went against traditions by regularly sending [[Prime Ether Servitor]]s to directly distribute ether to crews in combat zones on various worlds,<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [[Ether Resupply]]''</ref> and deploying other Primes like [[Brandaks Prime]] as reinforcements against Guardian incursions.<ref name="SotT"/>

In addition to their scavenging, the House of Dusk also appears to be focusing on [[Ether]] production and experimentation. In the [[European Dead Zone]], Raksil and Serkuleks were responsible for producing and distributing an enhanced variety of ether from Cabal technology that strengthened the Fallen.<ref name="ET:E"/> In the [[Arcadian Valley]], Ghost scanned a tank with ether that had been diluted through unknown means, which he speculated meant that the Fallen on [[Nessus]] were experiencing a dire ether shortage.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - Ghost scan: [[Ghost scan#Arcadian Valley, Nessus|NE-EXB-1]]''</ref> Equally intriguing is that many of the House of Dusk's [[Captain]]s throughout the system are comparable to [[Kell]]s in size, a level of growth which requires a large amount of ether to achieve.

==Trivia==
*The name of the House of Dusk likely stems from the Kell of Kings' message "It is twilight for the Fallen, and we must lay our banners down," twilight being a synonym for dusk.
**It also has a double meaning as a crossroads for Fallen allying themselves with [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]] and [[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]].
**The House is a reflection of the Kell of Kings "dream of a united Eliksni", having once united his people for the [[Battle of Twilight Gap]].<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''Destiny 2: Forsaken - Lore:[[Lore:Most Loyal|Most Loyal]], [[Lore:Most Loyal#JobUndone|Job Undone]]''</ref>
*The House of Dusk insignia is first seen in ''Destiny 1'' from the [[Rise of Iron]] expansion, where the [[Devil Splicers]] drop Synthetic Ether bearing the Dusk logo.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''Destiny 2 - [https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/items/1337773052-synthetic-ether Synthetic Ether]''</ref>
*In [[Season of Dawn]], it is revealed that the House of Dusk adopted the symbols and purple banners of the [[House of Rain]].
**The lore for [[Estival Excursion]] ship obtained during [[Solstice of Heroes]] 2018 hinted at this, saying "they <nowiki>[House of Winter remnants]</nowiki> bore the crests and colors from one of the original Eliksni factions".<ref>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] - Item Description: [[Estival Excursion#Lore|Estival Excursion]]''</ref>
*The [[Dreg]]s and [[Wretch]]es of the House of Dusk do not possess docking caps and have regrown the first parts of their lower arms, while all Major and Ultra Dusk Fallen possess gold-yellow streaks on their armor and cloaks, suggesting a House of Kings connection.
*A red banner with the Dusk insignia is worn by Thaviks, the Depraved and can be seen around [[the Fortress]] [[Crucible]] map. This possibly hints at a divide or another division in the House.
*It is unknown whether the House of Dusk possesses a [[Kell]]. 
*The House of Dusk has the most [[Prime Servitor]]s of any House seen to date, commanding at least three. These Servitors are Brandaks Prime, the [[Prime Ether Servitor]]s, and Serkuleks. Most Houses only have had one or perhaps two.
*Unlike other houses in ''Destiny 1'', whose members wear bodysuits under full armor and capes, members of House of Dusk do not wear bodysuits and instead wear armor on their half-naked bodies.
*A Vandal can be found on a tiny island north of the [[Sunken Isles]] in the EDZ with a disproportionate amount of health and strong attack. This is an Easter Egg reference to "Randal the Vandal", a notorious Level 8 Reaver Vandal found in the [[Forgotten Shore]] of the [[Cosmodrome]] who was later turned into [[Rahndel, the Perfected]]. 
*The House of Dusk has no named dregs and [[Yalsis, the Igniter|one]] named vandal.
