The House of Exile is a fringe House of the Fallen, distinguishable by their green cloaks. They are located primarily on Earth's Moon and on the planetoid Kepler in the Oort Cloud.
History[edit]
Origins[edit]
- "With the exception of the House of Exile, the Fallen usually try their best to stay out of each others' way. That's why the system is parcelled up so neatly. Winter on Venus, Exiles on the Moon, Kings and Devils keeping to their own areas of the Cosmodrome."
- — Ghost
The House of Exile is a smaller and more recently discovered House located on the Moon. They attempted to carve out a realm for themselves on the surface of the Moon, despite the heavy Hive presence.[1] The Exiles served no Kell or Archon, making them an abnormality among the Fallen.[2]
During a mission on the Moon, Cayde-6 met a Baroness of the Exiles, whom he later fought alongside against a horde of Hive.[3]
War with the Hive[edit]
- "Frigoris was a wild card, and needed to be taken care of. The City can rest a bit easier with this threat removed."
- — Bounty
When Guardians first returned to the Moon after years, they discovered the House of Exile squatting among the ruins of the old Moon bases.[4] Later, when attempting to breach deep into the Hellmouth, a Guardian was caught in the middle of an Exile raid against the Hive. Leading the raid was Frigoris, Exiled Baron, who became a priority target due to his station in the Exiles and was dispatched by the Guardian.[5]
Wolf Rebellion[edit]
- "He may seek to gather the Exiles, but they will not follow. They follow none, no Kell, no Archon."
- — Variks, the Loyal
During the House of Wolves revolt against the The Reef led by Skolas, Kell of Kells, the Exiles were not approached to join in Skolas' rebellion. Variks, the Loyal noted that the Exiles would not have joined the Wolf Rebellion because they followed no Kell.[2] Skoriks, Archon-Slayer also refused to follow Skolas and attempted to join the Exiles. However, he was dispatched by a Guardian sent to hunt him down before he was able to.[6]
Rise of the Scorn[edit]
At some point before the Red War and the creation of the House of Dusk, eight Dregs of the Exiles were cast out. They banded together in the Tangled Shore and founded the Scorn, a group of exceptionally violent Fallen pirates.[7]
End of the Exiles[edit]
It is implied that most, if not all of the surviving Exiles have now joined the House of Dusk.[8] As of the Red War, there has been no evidence of Fallen on Luna until Shadowkeep, where the House of Dusk had claimed the former territory of the House of Exile, including the former Ketch of Taniks.[9]
Rule of the Archon Prime[edit]
Sometime after the Red War and the emergence of the House of Dusk, a subset of the Exiles chose to flee to the edges of the system to find a place to live in peace. They came upon the planetoid Kepler and made their home alongside the local Aionians, where they lived in peace thanks to the proficiency in communicating with humans from one of them, Levaszk.[10][11] As part of their partnership, the Aionians would help the Exiles to create Ether. However, the Exile's Ether would become contaminated by the Dark matter permeating Kepler from the Singularity deep within the planetoid.[12] Levaszk, after taking in the tainted Ether, seemingly began to hear the Singularity speak to him through it. Calling the entity "The Giver" and the tainted Ether "Gift-Ether", Levaszk preached to the other Exiles to take it, believing that it would allow them to grow stronger than if they had chosen to remained on Earth with the rest of the Fallen. He would also take the rank of Archon to lead the House and make more of the Gift-Ether.[13][14][15]
The Aionians would attempt to cure the Exiles of their affliction but were unsuccessful.[citation needed] Levaszk, becoming increasingly fanatical toward the Giver as a result of the tainted Ether, used this to turn the House against the Aionians, telling them that the Aionians would take Kepler's gifts and leave the Exiles starving.[16] Additionally, the Dark Matter in their Ether gave Levaszk the ability to see and speak through any other Eliksni who had also taken the Gift-Ether.[17] The Exiles would begin attacking the Aionians and cut off their access to the Singularity,[14] intent on making it grow and consume Kepler so that they would ascend.[18][19]
Once the Guardian and Ikora Rey arrived on Kepler, following an invitation from the Nine, Levaszk would claim their arrival had been prophesied by the Giver and would send his followers against them. However, the Guardian would prevail against the Exile forces, including three of Levaszk's Vessels and recovered a Strangelet Capsule the Exiles were guarding, one of many needed to open the way to the Singularity.[19] After meeting with the Aionians and Lodi, the Guardian would work to rescue some Aionian scientists the Exiles had captured to take the Acceleron they possessed.[20]
Following this, the Guardian would work with Lodi, Drifter and an informant from the Exiles, Keelsk, would work to retrieve another Strangelet in the Exile's Accord and gain more information on the Exiles.[21] After acquiring a Relocator cannon from the Exiles,[22] the Guardian would move to disrupt a power plant in the Accord feeding energy to their warship. During the operation, Lodi would attempt to make peace with the Archon, but Levaszk would refuse, claiming they were working with the Vex to keep them from the Giver.[18]

Structure[edit]
The House of Exile on the Moon were considered an abnormal House due to the fact they did not follow any Kell or Archon by choice.[2] It is unknown how the House maintained its unity without proper leadership amongst its disparate Barons or if the House has a Prime Servitor that allowed for the House's supply of Ether to be secure.
The Exiles on Kepler initially did not have a leader.[18] But after their Ether became contaminated with dark matter, Levaszk would take the rank of Archon to distribute it, assuming full control of the House.[13] Using his ability to see and speak through any other Eliksni who consumed the Gift Ether, Levaszk was able to find and kill any dissenters.[17] In addition to an Archon, the Exiles on Kepler also have a Prime Servitor.[23] However, it is unknown how they came to be, whether they had been brought with the Exiles that came to Kepler or built after Levaszk became the House's leader.

Trivia[edit]
- The House of Exile has a disproportionate number of Dregs in their ranks.[1] Due to being a House of malcontents, it is likely that most, if not all, of its members deserted from other Houses.
- The Exiles have a Fallen Walker named Noble "Iron" Walker, signifying the Walker being stripped of its former House colors to its bare iron.
- The House of Exile was previously named "The Shattered House" in an earlier stage of Destiny's development. This discarded name is still present in the final published version of the BradyGames official guide for the game.[citation needed]
- According to Xander 99-40, House of Exile Fallen are present on Mars, at Olympus Mons.[citation needed]
- Strangely enough, there is also a House of Kings hideout in the Olympus Mons as well.[24]
- In the mission, Shrine of Oryx, the description when facing Frigoris, Exiled Baron, states that killing him would weaken the House of Kings' grip on the Moon, implying that the House of Exile might fall under its command, however, it could be a developer oversight.
- There is a large misconception among the community regarding the insignia of the House of Exile, mistaking a version of the symbol of Crota for its sigil. However, the real insignia of the Exiles remains unknown due to there being no major known records in lore or in-game, with the only known piece of lore hinting at the existence of one being the banner that was carried by the Exile Baroness, which Cayde-6 took after her death.[25]
- In the Season of the Splicer, when Mithrax argues to Saint-14 about monsters and him being one in the Eliksni's eyes, a cutscene that depicts the story shows the incorrect Exile banner in there, showing how large the misconception is, to the point that it caused Bungie to accidentally place it in there.[26]
- This would occur again in a cutscene in Episode: Revenant.[27]
- According to recent Vanguard briefs, the House of Exile were made from the malcontents from the Battle of Twilight Gap, while the Cryptarchs learned that they were founded prior to their rise on the Moon and had existed during the Long Drift.[28]
- These briefs would also report their use of Stasis and Strand due to III, a member of the Nine the Exiles referred to as the Giver, had pulled through time and offered to the Exiles, along with dark matter which formed into fungal growths that impacted their stylistic choices and began to effect them mentally.[28]
