Forum:The House of Storm

The House of Storm is a renegade Fallen house, distinguishable by their deep blue color scheme. They emerged shortly after Mercury's disappearance due to the Witness during the War of Salvation. The House is made up of simulated Fallen from multiple different timelines in the Infinite forest, who banded together to stop the Sol Primeval from colonizing their timelines.

Overview
Similar to the House of Kings, the House of Storm are a secretive group, only revealing themselves when they need to get violent. Multiple members of this house have stolen technology from the Vex, allowing them to travel to multiple simulated timelines. As stated by Nythrex, the only "true" goal of the house is to expunge the Precursors from the simulated timelines within the Infinite Forest.

Most members have already come to terms that they are not real, they are just simulations. Due to being simulations from differing timelines, the House of Storm is only present in the timelines that they travel to. Their house cannot be simulated, and combined with their secrecy, they are incredibly rare to come across.

Origin
As the Precursors began to explore multiple simulations within the Infinite Forest, they began to attack the Riis of a past simulation. Nythrex, a Fallen of the House of Winter attempted to warn their Kell, Draksis about the impending danger. The Kell dismissed the claims as he reprimanded Nythrex. As the Precursors began to colonize Riis, Nythrex killed a Precursor unit and stole its "simulation-hopping" technology, allowing Nythrex to escape his simulated timeline without being killed. Nythrex began to spread his knowledge of the Precursors and their plans to colonize their timelines.

The Speech
"Is this what you want?! To be turned to dust by these mechanical demons?! No, you want freedom. Not just for yourselves, but for others. So I ask, brothers and sisters alike. Will you stand by my side to expunge these treacherous demons from every reality?!"

- Nythrex giving his speech to the Eliksni

Nythrex gathered as many Eliksni as he possibly could under the site of a destructed Ketch. Nythrex warned the Fallen about the Precursors, and their goals to colonize their timelines. To set an example, Nythrex tied a Precursor Goblin to a post and stood it upright. The Goblin squirmed to escape the rope it was bound to, but to no avail. Nythrex stated that the Goblin was incapable of individual thoughts, incapable of having feelings like love or remorse. Nythrex set the post on fire, causing the Goblin to squirm even more as its plates began to burn. With a shout, Nythrex stated that if the Eliksni join him, this will happen to the rest of the Vex. The Eliksni cheered, causing the post to fall back, allowing them to beat the Goblin to death.

Recruiting the High Priest
In an alternate simulated reality further ahead in the future, the Precursors began to attack the Bunker Triglav, unaware of the High Priests presence. Kovik destroyed the Vex with ease, taking note of their abnormal architecture. Kovik began to study the Vex, dissecting their frames and stimulating their technology. As Kovik continued to study their technology, he eventually came across a device capable of crossing over into different simulated timelines. Accidentally activating this device, Kovik was transported to an alternate Venus, where the Vex were subjugating and enslaving the House of Winter. The Priest freed the Winter and began to travel to many different timelines.

Kovik had become a staple of the simulated timeline travel, pillaging settlements for tech and materials, killing Archons to become stronger, he was unstoppable. This would come to a surprising end when Kovik was caught and locked in the Prison of Elders for his deeds. Kovik was put in solitary confinement, never to see the light of day again.

Nythrex and the Storm would later break into the prison in search for those who wished to defect and become new members.
