Forum:House of Lions: Difference between revisions

The Gray Wars initially began around the events of the [[Long Drift]], the [[Forum:House of Sky|House of Sky]] moved out into a Star System that was in control of the House of Lions, and attempted to take over Striviis from the Lions, resulting in many Lions living on the planet to be killed by the invading Sky. This would cause Yorvik, the Kell of Lions to retaliate against the Fallen Sky, causing the Wars to began. During the courses of the wars, the Lions and Sky battled out for control over the planet, lasting for many years, resulting many to be perished, including most of the Sky leadership, would soon end with the revealing of the Sky Kell's location, Yorvik would group his powerful forces and allies to obliterate the Sky's lair and their Kell, which succeeded and would effectively bring a temporarily end to the Gray Wars.

After finally arriving into the [[Sol System]], the Lions would settle down in the frontal edges of the Kuiper Belt, but were rumored to have a minor presence amongst [[Callisto]] and [[2 Pallas]]. During their early times there, the House would remain in hiding from both any enemy factions and even other Houses, sticking to mostly spy and observe for possible allies or enemies, the only time the House ever made contact was during the [[Reef Wars]] in the [[Siege of Pallas]], where the Lions attempted to defend their hidden hideout from invading Wolves, and stealing minor item from both Wolves and the Awoken to keep any attention from the two factions. After the War ended, the Lions would approached the Reef to form a neutrality with each other, hoping to at least keep the House's existence a secret from other Houses but mostly, [[The Last City]]. The two would agreed although their areas within Pallas would be supervised by the Awoken while the Lions can have some of the Awoken's relics to study.  

Despite not physically being in the [[Wolf Rebellion]], the Lions did however minorly assist the Awoken by keeping the Wolves from going into the outer System, pushing most of them back into the inner system should they tried to expand further outward. Later [[User:Joskaa|Joskaa]], the Kell of Lions would be approached by [[Skolas]], the Kell of Wolves himself, in hoping to combine their forces together to take back the Traveler, although Joskaa would deny him in order to keep the House from being discovered and not to break the Awoken's trust. After the Rebellion ended, Joskaa kept watch over the wandering Wolves, whom are without a Kell after the defeat of Skolas.

At some point during this time, the Lions would soon be discovered by a young [[Forum:AJ, the Relentless|Guardian]] whom was searching for answers about the Fallen. However, after learning more about the House and their reason why of their obscurity to anyone else, he would continue to keep the House's secret from the [[Vanguard]], in fear of them targeting the Lions. Soon the Guardian would began to help the House out more, eventually becoming their ally and became their Kell's subordinate and friend after gaining an audience with Joskaa and participated in the [[Forum:Kell's Gauntlet|Kell's Gauntlet]], a gladiatorial combat challenge, representing as the Kell of Lions.

During the [[Taken War]], the House of Lions, like many other Houses, were effected by [[Oryx, the Taken King]] and his [[Taken]], although the Lions still stood strong due to their leadership was still intact, the Lions had to abandon their strongholds within the Kuiper Belt when Oryx was traveling into the system, and escaped into the Reef, holed up in Pallas, and acted as a safe haven for surviving Fallen suffered from the Taken.
