Battle of the Forges

The Battle of the Forges was a brief but heavily destructed conflict between the Guardians of the Last City and the anarchic Fallen of the Kell's Scourge crime syndicate, led by Siviks, Lost to None.

Prelude
Following a fall out with his brother, The Spider, Siviks was sent to the Prison of Elders but after the Scorn's rampage, Siviks was able to escape and gather followers to form his own crime syndicate. For a time, Siviks remained beneath the radar of the Guardians but after discovering powerful technology and weapons belonging to the secretive Black Armory, Siviks began to make a power grab over all the Fallen in the Solar System. Knowing of the dangers, Ada-1, the last caretaker of the Black Armory, reluctantly sides with the Guardian to combat Siviks and his syndicate to secure the Black Armory's weapons and forges.

The Black Armory
After the events involving the Scorn and Riven's schemes in the Dreaming City, the Guardian received a pass from the Spider, directing them to a hidden area within the Last City's walls, stating that it requires their attention. The Guardian takes the pass and after returning to the Last City, they find a secret passage within the wall that leads them to a hidden foundry filled with powerful and highly advanced weaponry, the Black Armory. They soon encounter the armory's curator, Ada-1, whom presently refuses them entry or to conduct business but relents after seeing they possess a pass.

However, Ada-1 states that some of their best weapons are unavailable as the forges to create them have gone silent as a result of the Red War. Unable to investigate herself, Ada-1 reluctantly allows the Guardian to investigate on her behalf. Traveling to one of the forges located in the European Dead Zone, the Guardian encounters scores of Fallen belonging to a faction they have not encountered before. Before the Fallen could pilfer the Forge, the Guardian thwarts their efforts and sends them fleeing, allowing them to secure and activate the forge. Ada-1 is grateful and slowly begins to trust the Guardian but worry's that if the forge in the EDZ nearly came under the control of this new faction of Fallen, then the others could be compromised. Thus, despite her reservations, Ada-1 requests the Guardian to investigate and prevent the Fallen from defiling her order's forges.

Hunt for Siviks
Returning to the Spider for information on this new faction of Fallen, the mob boss explains that this faction of Fallen calls themselves the Kell's Scourge, led by the Spider's own brother, Siviks, Lost to None. Originally, the two brothers worked together in running their operations in the Reef but Siviks grew disgusted with the Spider's dealings with the Awoken and Humans, leading to a bitter fallout and Siviks' subsequent imprisonment. Knowing his brother has new and grander ambitions since gaining his freedom, rallying dissenting Fallen and deserting House of Dusk members, the Spider believes that the theft of the Black Armory is just the start and thus gives his consent to put his mad brother down.

After defeating several forces of Fallen in the EDZ on Earth near the Volundr Forge, an intercepted signal revealed that Siviks made a bass for himself located on Nessus. The Guardians traveled to centaur to catch the Kell's Scourage leader and while they located him at The Conflux alongside Telksis, the Pillager, he escapes, leaving Telksis to defend the Black Armory caches alone. Despite the Pillager's efforts, he was killed and the cache was secured. This brush with the Guardians forces Siviks's to retreat into hiding but pushes forward with his syndicates' plan to acquiring as much weapons and technology from the Black Armory.
