[[ | Kells also have access to better resources and eat better, sleep safer, and live longer. A strong Kell's power is described to be like the wind: swift, howling and everywhere at once, comparable to the Guardians. Kells are more stronger, faster, and intelligent, than the common Eliksni.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/7/31)''', ''[[Destiny]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard'', [https://db.destinytracker.com/d1/items/2221235552-kellhunters-path| Kellhunter's Path]</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Death to Kells]]''</ref> If a Kell dies, the House collapses into a civil war between their nobility vying for dominance and kellship.

However it is possible that a House can still function without a Kell, as an [[Archon]], [[Prime Servitor]], or another Kell from a different House can assume command of the House. <ref name = "Transcript">[http://destiny.bungie.org/forum/index.php?id=13568 '''Destiny.bungie.org''': ''Transcript of the official English version of the cards'']</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]], [[The Taken King]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Prime's Path]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#A_Kell_Rising|A Kell Rising]]''</ref> Their loss severely weakens a House and demoralizes its forces, so for this reason, Kells are a prime target for enemy forces. | |||
Recently with the fall of the Houses, most Kells have perished. Only the [[House of Judgment]], [[House of Light]], and the [[House of Darkness]] are three known to be led by self-proclaimed Kells. | |||
==Prophecy of the Kell of Kells== | |||
According to a prophecy by the [[House of Rain]], the [[Great Machine]] would crown a mighty warrior as the Kell of Kells, and rule over all houses. None but [[Skolas]] and [[Variks]] has ever attempted to claim this title for themselves.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House of Wolves#The Kell of Kells|The Kell of Kells]]''</ref> | |||
