 The Fallen are a nomadic race of pirates and scavengers descended from a once-great civilization. This is evidenced by their social organization into various Houses in the manner of nobility, the banners and flags of which are still flown like heraldry.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/16/the-enemies-of-destiny.aspx?PostPageIndex=1 '''Game Informer: The Enemies of Destiny''']</ref> The Fallen search the stars for artifacts of their lost civilization.<ref>[http://instagram.com/p/pHQWjFFXHT/ '''Instagram''' - ''Destiny the Game'']</ref> They first arrived in the [[Solar System]] after the [[Collapse]], arriving in their massive [[Ketch]]es to loot and pillage humanity's former worlds, leaving grief and wreckage in their wake.<ref name = "GrimoireFallen">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies#The Fallen|The Fallen]]''</ref>
-The overall strength and size of the Fallen population has yet to be determined. The [[House of Devils|Devils]] and the [[House of Winter]] are believed to be the largest Houses as they occupy the most ground on [[Earth]] and [[Venus]] respectively. The [[House of Exile]] is a newer, smaller house that is scrounging out a meager existence on the [[Moon]]. The [[House of Kings|Kings]] have yet to reveal their full might. The [[House of Wolves]], as a result of years of near constant warfare with nearly every major enemy race, is scattered and decimated. It is unknown if any other Houses dwell beyond the inner planets and the [[Reef]]. Taking this information into account, it is highly likely that the entire Fallen race may reside in our solar system.
+The Fallen are antagonistic toward the [[Cabal]], [[Taken]], [[Hive]], and [[Vex]], and are known to be in conflict with the latter two over territory and technology. They have ordinarily avoided the Cabal until the [[Taken War]], when the [[House of Wolves]] attempted to make their new home on Mars using abandoned Cabal bases. They lack any type of established stronghold such as the [[Citadel]] or the [[Hellmouth]], instead preferring to squat in ruins or inside their ketches.<ref name="Destiny">'''Bungie (2014-9-9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Activision Blizzard''</ref>

 ===History===
-The Fallen's name for their own race is "Eliksni".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HK3ULvxgB4 '''YouTube''' - ''Eliksni'']</ref> According to [[Variks, the Loyal]], the Fallen once encountered the [[Traveler]], or "Great Machine", before an event or entity called the "Whirlwind" (possibly the [[Darkness]]) destroyed their civilization. In the aftermath, the surviving Fallen became embroiled in a bloody civil war over their civilization's ruins, before achieving a tenuous peace and embarking on a journey into space to locate the Traveler in order to return to greatness once again. The Fallen eventually arrived at the [[Solar System]] shortly after [[human]]ity's [[Collapse]], and rediscovered the Traveler on Earth.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Allies#Variks, The Loyal|Variks, The Loyal]]''</ref>

 The Fallen's overall approach to recapturing the Traveler has been aimless, however, due to the conflicting ambitions of the [[Kell]]s. The [[House of Devils]] mounted a massive assault of [[the Last City]] not long after its founding, but the battle that became known as [[Six Fronts]] ended in a victory for the City, and the Devils have since focused their efforts on scavenging the [[Cosmodrome]]. The [[House of Winter]] conducted a guerrilla campaign against human settlements and [[Guardian]] expeditions, but their interest later turned to the [[Vex]] ruins of the [[Ishtar Sink]], which in turn has resulted in a losing war of attrition with the [[Hezen Corrective]]. Outcasts from the larger Houses have banded together to form the  [[House of Exile]], which has taken to pillaging the human ruins and [[Hive]] temples of the [[Ocean of Storms]]. The secretive [[House of Kings]] is believed to be manipulating a number of other Houses with the long-term goal of seizing the Traveler from the [[Guardian]]s; this scheme may have precipitated the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]], one of the few times any number of the Houses actively cooperated with each other.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''Destiny: House of Wolves, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Activities#The Ruling House|The Ruling House]]''</ref> The Kings however, have kept to the shadows and have avoided major conflict with the City. Meanwhile, the [[House of Wolves]] was caught up in the [[Reef Wars]] with [[Awoken]], which ended with the imprisonment of their nobility and [[Mara Sov|Queen Mara Sov]] being crowned as their Kell.
