The [[House of Devils]] fell into chaos following the deaths of their nobility: [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], [[Riksis, Devil Archon]], [[Sepiks Prime]], and [[Aksis, Archon Prime]]. Leaderless, the Devils would abandon their banners and follow the instructions of the [[Kell of Kings]] to merge with the [[House of Exile|other]] [[House of Winter|noble]] [[House of Wolves|Houses]] to create the [[House of Dusk]]. Those who remained loyal to the other Houses were captured and sent to languish in the [[Prison of Elders]]. | The [[House of Devils]] fell into chaos following the deaths of their nobility: [[Solkis, Kell of Devils]], [[Riksis, Devil Archon]], [[Sepiks Prime]], and [[Aksis, Archon Prime]].

Though the House of Salvation 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 Eramis's leadership.

With a number of lieutenants at her disposal, Eramis was able to maintain a firm grip on her forces, using [[Splinter of Darkness|Splinters of Darkness]] that are harvested from nearby [[Crux of Darkness|Cruxs]] utilized by Praksis' drone technology. Further, their command over Stasis makes Fallen of this House especially dangerous. In addition, with so many different Fallen joining forces under Eramis's banner, their various tactics and technologies give them an edge on the battlefield, almost overwhelming their foes. | ||

*Early traces of the House of Salvation name can be found in the [[Lore:The Lawless Frontier#An_Evolution_of_Faith|An Evolution of Faith]] lore.
