Forum:Dusk Splicers

The Dusk Splicers are a unique sect of the Fallen House of Dusk's Splicers.

Early History
During the Red War, the loss of Raksil, Archon Priest and Serkuleks, the Fount have greatly despaired the House of Dusk. Their primary Archon as well as their main Prime Servitor and Kell: Karnix, Rezziks Prime, and Phryzzak respectively, have been brought down and slain at the hands of the Guardians. With no enhanced ether production, their Barons then began to discuss the best course of action in a secret meeting. They sent former Devil Splicer engineers to retrieve SIVA samples across the system. Aboard their Skiffs, they detected remnant SIVA samples in Exodus Black on Nessus. They snuck onboard and successfully stored them on their Skiffs. Meanwhile, two powerful Fallen commanders rose to leadership: Kraviks rose to the position of the House's new Archon, and Thralkis rose to the position of the House's new Kell. As the engineers return, they present offerings of SIVA to the Barons, giving them newfound strength. Then, in an act of ritual, they used SIVA to resurrect Serkuleks, which then became known as Serkuleks Perfected. Ever since, the Dusk Splicers have started the reconstruction of Site 6 deep with the underground tunnels of the European Dead Zone, combining their enhanced Ether and retrieved SIVA samples and becoming the most powerful faction of Fallen since the SIVA Crisis.

Strengthening the Splicers
One month after the Red War, the Dusk Splicers employed Greg, Skriviks’s Champion, a House of Devils veteran. He led an Ether sacrifice ritual that revived Aksis, Archon Prime, Vosik, the Archpriest, Kovik, Splicer Priest, Rahn, Devil Captain and Riksis, Devil Archon; Rahn and Riksis became known as Rahn, Dusk Captain and Riksis, Dusk Archon respectively. Later experimentation led to them infusing SIVA with Thralls and on a Wampa named Rampa, Perfected for some "fun". They built new lairs on Hoth, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and on Cybertron.
