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's prior fanatical reverence for machines and Servitors appears to have been replaced with a new, unknown motivation, but this has not affected their hostility to Guardians and other alien races. With their emergence, they are believed to be the most powerful active Fallen faction in the Solar System.

Various pieces of evidence strongly implies the House of Dusk is an amalgamation of the remnants of other Fallen Houses. 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. In addition, 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. Even a former noble of the House of Wolves was found to have joined the ranks of the House of Dusk. 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 and Prime Servitors from multiple lines (Brandaks, Kendricks, Kiriks, Merix, Nariks, Serkuleks, and Teleks) which was unseen since the House of Wolves deployment of Kaliks and Mecher-Orbiks servitors. This many Servitor lines may give clues as to why most of the notable Captains are the size of Kells. Ghost also wonders if an abandoned servitor was a old prototype for Sepiks and proceeds to mock it by referring to it as 'Sepiks Beta' and 'Sepiks Inferior'. Previously no Fallen House had been known to employ more than a single Prime Servitor at once, and Prime Servitors were almost never deployed offensively except where the Fallen believed that they had an overwhelming advantage or when their lair was invaded. However in the Gunslinger subclass quest, Guardians encounter Brandaks Prime who is seen protecting a corrupted Shard of the Traveler. Also of note is the House's casual deployment of Heavy Shanks and in one Lost Sector quest deployed S.A.B.E.R.-0.6, which previously belonged to the House of Devils.

In addition to their scavenging, the House of Dusk also appears to be focusing on ether production. In the European Dead Zone, Raksil, Archon Priest and Serkuleks, the Fount were responsible for distributing an enhanced variety of ether 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 were experiencing a dire ether shortage.

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 noblilty. The whereabouts of their Barons, Archons, and Kell are unknown.

Withdrawal
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. Around this time, Prince Uldren Sov established an audience with the Kell of Kings, who reluctantly bent the knee to him.

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.
