House of Dusk

The House of Dusk is a new Fallen House that has recently emerged following the advent of the Red War. They are engaged in conflicts with every other faction in the system.

Overview
Primarily distinguishable by their dark purple cloaks and new weapons, the House can be found on Earth, Titan, Io, and Nessus, warring with every other alien faction in the system. Within the House of Dusk, the Fallen no longer worship Servitors and machines as they used to, having devoted their energy towards simple survival. With their emergence, they are believed to be the most powerful active Fallen faction in the Solar System.

Various pieces of evidence strongly imply that the House of Dusk is an amalgamation of the remnants of other Fallen Houses. 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. Some Fallen tech also found in the area once belonged to the House of Winter and had been transported from Venus. A House of Dusk communications device in Siren's Watch was discovered to be using variants of encryption protocols derived from the House of Kings. A former noble of the House of Wolves was found to have joined the ranks of the House of Dusk. Lastly, the House produces Heavy Shanks 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 (in part due to the Guardian's actions, and in part the massive losses faced in the Taken War and SIVA Crisis) succeeded in burying old grudges.

Another unusual characteristic is that it utilizes Servitors from multiple lines (Brandaks, 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). Furthermore, it possesses multiple Prime Servitors where no Fallen House had been known to follow more than a single Prime Servitor at once, and which were almost never deployed offensively except where the Fallen believed that they had an overwhelming advantage or when their lair was invaded. The House of Dusk flaunted those traditions, regularly sending Prime Ether Servitors to directly distribute ether to crews in combat zones on various worlds, and deploying other Primes like Brandaks Prime and Serkuleks, the Fount as reinforcements against Guardian incursions.

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, Archon Priest and Serkuleks, the Fount were responsible for producing and distributing an enhanced variety of ether from Cabal technology that strengthened the Fallen. 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. Equally intriguing is that many of the House of Dusk's Captains throughout the system are comparable to Kells in size, a level of growth which requires a large amount of ether to achieve.

Appearance
The House of Dusk can be immediately identified by their ragged purple cloaks, a color previously unseen among the Fallen Houses. Their eyes glow an intense turquoise, much brighter than the pale blue seen in Fallen from Destiny 1, and they wear very little armor, apparently relying on their natural exoskeletons for protection. What armor remains is heavily weathered and worn down.

Structure
The House of Dusk's structure has a level of complexity similar to the House of Wolves. There are multiple specialized forces that are given their own set of tasks. Pike gangs are sent to patrol Fallen territory and harass intruders. Signal crews led by recon specialists and stealth troops hack into and jam communication devices used by enemy forces to prevent them from strategizing. Glimmer extraction crews use Glimmer Drills to acquire wealth and resources. All of these divisions are given their leaders from the ranks of their nobility. The whereabouts of their Barons, Archons, and Kell are unknown.

Withdrawal
Some time after the Reef's disastrous attack on the Dreadnaught, the surviving Prince Uldren Sov allowed himself to be captured by the House of Kings in order 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 and join together for the sake of survival.

Following the Devil Splicers' defeat at the peak of the SIVA Crisis, the Fallen collectively retreated from all of their known strongholds, leaving their banners behind as well.

Red War
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 ruins. Currently, the House of Dusk is engaging in a massive guerilla war with Red Legion forces across the Solar System, with other factions being targets as well.

Forsaken
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.

With the demise of the House of Wolves, former members can be seen working with the Dusk which include The Silent Fang, Queenbreakers, Pallas Seigebreakers and those afilliated with Beltrik and Ixris.

Trivia

 * The House of Dusk is the creation of the Kell of Kings and they get their name after he says It is "Twilight" for the Fallen, and we must lay our banners down. Twilight meaning Dusk.
 * With the release of Forsaken, it is confirmed that Uldren is not the leader of the House of Dusk amid fan speculation. The Dusk did not attack him in the EDZ given that he was ordered by the Kell of Kings to rally the Dusk.
 * The House of Dusk has the most Prime Servitors of any House seen to date, commanding three. These Servitors are Brandaks Prime, The Prime Ether Servitor, and Serkuleks, the Fount. Most Houses only have one or two.
 * The Dregs and Wretches of the House of Dusk do not possess docking caps, while all Major and Ultra Dusk Fallen possess gold-yellow streaks on their armor and cloaks, signifying a strong House of Kings connection.
 * However Thaviks, the Depraved and the Fortress crucible has shown the existence of a Red Dusk banner, possibly hinting a divide among the House.
 * The identity of the current Kell of the House of Dusk is currently unknown, but could exist as a Ketch can be seen flying above when a Fallen public event begins in the EDZ.
 * Unlike other houses in Destiny 1, which their members wear bodysuits under their armor and capes, members of House of Dusk do not wear bodysuits and wears armor on their half-naked body.
 * A Vandal can be found by a tiny island the north of the Sunken Isles with 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 Silent Fang can be found working with the Dusk in the EDZ. They were previously under the rule of House of Wolves, showing further unity.
