Forum:House of Desire

"In this house that which is most hidden is in plain sight here. Let them not separate us any further. Let them unite us into a single shape, let us wield that shape until we fit our purpose"

- Azarias, The Subverter

The House of Desire are a house of the Fallen, distinguishable greatly among their peers. Their armor isn’t any discernible color aside from the eerie glow of their taken bodies. The crew is majority made up of P taken Marauders from various houses. Though in growing the house it has adapted to include taken Captains, Minotaurs from the Vex and expanded to various members from all races for very specific purposes. They are in mass a house designed for stealth and infiltration though quite capable to direct contact as later battles would prove. Many of their assaults have brought them into conflict with various races such as the Hive, Vex and at times the Cabal. Though they are not a threat to the Last City they will not hesitate to deal with Guardians investigating them or their movements.

Early History
"Have you heard the stories? they speak of an Eliksni house run completely in the shadows, the fact there’s no name to identify them speaks volumes of their efficiency. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing yet."

- Master Rahool

A house that is virtually shrouded in mystery from everything including intent, purpose, gathering and even deployment. The house was put together by a individual known as Asiriks, The Unseen. While there’s not background information on such a being among the fallen houses, Asiriks has completely built his house on the premises of stealth, recon, and remaining hidden from open and known conflicts beyond that which actively blocks their path. Because of this there hasn’t been many interactions with this house beyond stories exchanged from those who have lost friends or family members to the mysterious house which seemingly appear out of thin air. The House from the outside possess a very mysterious purpose that often brings unwanted attention, however to those within there is single purpose guiding them all known only to the members of said house. The House was truly born in the heart of the Red War, prior to this there was a Mass fracturing of Houses following the SIVA Crisis. Taking note of the situation at hand and knowing he alone would not topple the more powerful of the Worm Gods and deal with the Hive, he opted to create his own. Using the cover of Ghaul's attack and the city being fractutred as it was. Azarias, under the alias of Asiriks began recruiting Eliksni to his cause. Their desires to have a house to truly belong and have a purpose in allowed for an amazing and opulent feeding ground for him to grant wishes. Compounding wishes that led to the house consolidating power as with each wish granted, Elisksni were partially taken to uphold their end of the bargains and thus the house itself was born. Though at the time they lacked resources, with all the mass confusion, House of Dusk and Former territories open for who would claim them. The House of Desire began it's salvage operation under chaos.

The Wishful Salvage
"There’s been a reported large number of fractured houses among the fallen, one has to wonder where many of them winded up besides the House of Dusk"

- random Ghost

His team together their main focus started off with commandeering a Ketch first and foremost. A mobile base of operations would allow them to remain unseen and work within the shadows and then after that focus on gathering stealth drives to mask their approach or descent from locations and areas from prying eyes. Such as the Red Legion, Rasputin and varying other eyes that could become curious of his intentions.

The Taken Initiative
"They desecrate our holy halls with their thievery and tactics. Yet they wield strange powers, there’s a greater hand and will that’s guides them, their visage, it smells of our grandfathers fabled power to Take yet I do not sense him among them, nor his siblings."

- Hashladun

Strength in Salvage
"There’s been a number of conflicting reports that suggests someone or something is hitting old fallen bases and hideouts, ransacking them dry and then vanishing before anyone can even identify who it was. Given the reports I’m skeptical to put any stock in what I’ve been reading, but we will continue to monitor the situation."
