Eliksni siege: Difference between revisions

=====[[Wolf Rebellion]]=====

A Fallen resurgence occurred in the form of the House of Wolves who's Kell had returned, possibly aided by the [[Nine]], and led the Wolf Fallen in a rebellion against the Awoken. In retaliation, Mara Sov placed bounties on the Wolves' nobility while enlisting Guardians to hunt down Skolas. While investigating, the Guardians tracked the Wolf Kell to Venus who sought to gain the allegiance of the leaderless House of Winter. The Guardians found Skolas rallying the Winter after calling himself the "Kell of Kells", a prophesied warrior who would unite the Fallen and reclaim the Traveler. While the Guardians failed in their chance to capture Skolas, they began to disrupt his operations in preventing him from gaining the allegiance of the other Houses, hunted down his followers, and thwarted his attempts to gain dangerous weapons from the [[Vex]] [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]].  

=====[[SIVA Crisis]]=====

One year after the Taken War, a new Fallen resurgence occurred greater than ever before in the form of the House of Devils. Under the command of a new Archon, Aksis, and his followers, the Devils pillaged every Golden Age vault and lab within the Cosmodrome they could find and in their efforts, they unearthed [[SIVA]], a dangerous self-replicating nano-technology from the Golden Age. The technology was then studied by the [[Devil Splicers]] who utilized the technology to augment their weapons and themselves to become more powerful than ever. Aksis was among those who infused themselves with SIVA but at a much greater level, almost becoming completely machine, and named himself [[Aksis, Archon Prime]]. In addition, the Splicers resurrected their Prime Servitor using SIVA, which became [[Sepiks Perfected]], as a means to prove the technology's worth to the rest of their House.

Hoping to learn more about the ancient technology, the Devils under the command of Sepiks Perfected attacked the [[Iron Temple]], the former stronghold of the old [[Iron Lords]] that sealed SIVA away. However, [[Lord Saladin]], enlisting the aid of the Guardians, prevented the Devils from breaching the Temple and drove Sepiks into hiding. The Guardians were then sent to the Cosmodrome where most of it laid in ruins and the Hive driven out of their holds, thanks to the Devil Splicers. In addition, the Devil Splicers breached the wall blocking off the [[Plaguelands]] where the SIVA replication chamber, [[Site 6]], was located. After destroying the Devils defenses and gaining vital information from a [[Clovis Bray]] database on Mars, the Guardians launched the mission to destroy the replication chamber and finish what the Iron Lords started. After fighting through the Fallen into the chamber, the Guardians initiated the self-destruct sequence but faced off against the SIVA-corrupted remnants of the Iron Lords. After a grueling battle with the corrupted remnants, putting the Iron Lords to rest, the self-destruct began and the Guardians escaped in time. With Site 6 destroyed, the Devils lost the means to produce more SIVA but their leadership remained a significant threat.

=====[[Red War]]=====

After the Cabal [[Red Legion]] under the command of [[Dominus Ghaul]] successfully invaded the Last City and drove the Guardians into a retreat, a new faction of Fallen emerged bearing different banners, new leadership, weapons and tactics, the [[House of Dusk]]. This new House of Fallen took advantage from the chaos of the Red War to emerge from the shadows and began to pillage across the system, engaging not only the Guardians but also the Cabal, Hive, Vex and even the Taken.

=====[[Forsaken]]=====

The war took a dark turn when a terrifying clan of Fallen pirates and criminals known as the Scorn besieged the [[Prison of Elders]] and broke out it's leading Barons, forcing [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] and [[Cayde-6]] to quickly respond with an attack. Teaming up with Petra Venj, the trio contained most of the prison. However, things quickly took a turn for the worse when Cayde was confronted by the Fallen Barons and Archon behind the breakout, with [[Uldren Sov]] revealing himself as the Scorn's leader. Cayde-6, despite putting up an admirable fight, was subsequently murdered by Uldren with his own gun, the [[Ace of Spades]]. The Guardian and Petra arrive just before Cayde passes and Uldren quickly flees from the scene alongside the Barons. The Scorn then began to reside within the [[Tangled Shore]] and the [[Dreaming City]], attempting to accomplish an unknown objective. The Guardians, driven by vengeance over their murdered comrade, swore to hunt down Uldren and the Scorn Barons. Meanwhile, in the Reef, the Awoken were completely scattered after Uldren's betrayal, leaving the region of space a lawless warzone with the Scorn running amok, spreading chaos.

However, while the Vanguard mourned the loss of a comrade, Commander Zavala refused to launch an all-out assault on the Reef to take down Uldren and his Barons, rationalizing that the Last City did not have the strength to conduct such an attack. Zavala argued that the Last City itself, their people and the awakened Traveler must remain their first priority. Despite Ikora Rey's strong objections, Zavala declared the Reef off-limits. Regardless, the Guardian conducted the hunt for Uldren on their own, without the support of the Vanguard. With only a small lead from Ikora, the Guardian headed to the Tangled Shore to find any clues to Uldren's whereabouts. While fighting Scorn Fallen, Petra Venj arrived to aid them in avenging Cayde and all the other innocent lives Uldren took.
