"Not all of the Fallen had faltered to your wrath. Yes?"
— Variks, The Loyal

The House of Lions are an old, but vigilant Fallen House, distinguishable by their vanilla armors and roundish dark brown fur cloaks. They are allies to The Last City and The Reef.

History

"Many Houses were known for their worth within Riis, yes? (Wheeze) House Wolves for weavering, House Rain for their prophecies, House Sky for their ships, House Lions for their courage, and House Kings for their leadership. But the Whirlwind tore it apart, and now...not much of us follow our previous ways, yes? What a shame..."
— Variks, the Loyal

During the events before the Whirlwind, the House of Lions were amongst many Houses that prospered under the Traveler on their home planet Riis, and noted to be one of the oldest Houses within their civilization. They were seen as the pride of their people and were noted to serve as enforcers and help the House of Judgement keep the peace between the rest of the Houses, as well as being known for their control over many Star Systems and their courage. Their power and influence would rival some from the House of Wolves and Kings. Although the Lions' Kell would be part of a council of Kells, from the Wolves, Kings, Judgement, and the House of Rain and Stone. But during the events of the cataclysmic Whirlwind, where the Lions would attempt to defend their home against the Darkness alongside some like the House of Stone and help evacuate many fleeing Eliksni, but while those who helped escaped, other would succumbed to the Darkness, only Yorvik would survive and escape with the rest of the Lions. They would escape amongst one of their Star Systems, which included a Planet known as Striviis.

Gray Wars

Phase One

The Wars started when a House known as the House of Sky entered the Lions’ territory and raided multiple camps, killing countless Fallen. This caused Yorvik, the Kell of Lions, to wage war against them. It was long courses of Battles, until Grayria, a spy for the Lions, went undercover, as a Sky scavenger, to search for the House of Sky's Lair, in which she does. She gives the report to the Yorvik, and with this info, he would lead the Lions to manned raid against House Sky, and combine with the Lions' most powerful forces, they destroyed the Sky's Lair and killed the Kell of Sky, along with it.

Phase Two

With the Kell dead, the House of Sky took revenge, while Yorvik was trying to collect Ether from one of the Astroids, Sky then cornered his ship, and destroyed it, killing him along with it. With Yorvik's death, the House of Lions fell into civil war, splitting into 3 groups, Tariks, Lion Baron, Skrisah, the Wise, and Skeklos, the Prowling.

During the civil war, Skeklos began to strangely rise to power. He first destroyed Skrisah's fleet, and then tricked the House of Sky into Defeating Tariks. With all of his rivals dead, He became the Kell of Lions, Although his rule did not Last, because most of the Lions saw him as a cruel and unfair Leader, when thing began uneasy, The Lions revolted with the help of Joskaa, Burning Blade, Grayria, Winter Lost, and Andiks-5. The attack, then led into a chase, ending in The Prison of Scars, A House of Sky facility. With the bulk of the House of Lions, they were able kill Skeklos, who apparently helped Sky kill Yorvik; Joskaa would then, destroyed the Prison, causing the Sky to trapped, with the War over, The Lion crowned Joskaa, as the new Kell.

Arrival in the Sol System

Magnusk, of the Kell's Wrath

"REPORT:

A Fallen house
Hostile level: 0 (Presumably non-hostile)

Base: 2 Pallas

Personal Response: non-wolf fallen, but has unknown objectives.

-REPORT END "

— A reef agent to command base

The Lions later arrived to the Solar System and lived around areas within the Kuiper belt, but some of their scouts and scavenging parties would be seen around the Reef and Jupiter, mostly in the vicinities of 2 Pallas and Callisto. But at some point, their Prime Servitor, Jobkis Prime, would go missing. Later on, while the Lions were scavenging around 2 Pallas, they would suffered Aattack, led by the House of Wolves, during Reef Wars. When this happened, the Lions stationed there, would retaliate, by driving the House of Wolves out of reef. But this went unsucceseded, but caught the attention of the Queen of the Reef, and a audience from the Awoken, to learn if they hostile or if they were friendly. Joskaa would be non-hostile if they are left alone, but would allow any of the Houses to enter the Reef, unless it would harm them in any way.

Wolf Rebellion

Despite not physically being in the Wolves' Rebellion, the Lions were approached by Skolas, who tried to convinced Joskaa into joining forces with him, in order destroy all of the Fallen’s enemies and take back the Traveler to restore their civilization. In which the Lion Kell declined, believe that it would backfire and both of their Houses would suffer terrible casualties, including the deaths of both of them. However after the Wolf Rebellion, the Lions would be pushed back out of the inner Reef, making sure what side are they on. But the Lions would partially stay as their allies

During in the aftermath of the Wolf Rebellion, a Guardian, known as AJ, discovered the lair of the Lions. Attempting to gain their trust, AJ would keep the discovery a secret, and doing several errands for the Kell, such as participating in the Kell's Arena. Sending messages to some Houses, and doing Bounties for the House. He would then, become a honorary Baron and become the Champion of the Kell's Arena, after defeating Kralikss, Joskaa's Champion, the former Champion of the Arena, and would gain trust from Joskaa.

Taken War

When Oryx arrived in the Sol System, they would attempt to keep their control over the Kuiper belt, but would backfired, thanks to his power of the Taken. They would flee and abandon any location, belonging to Oryx and would stay within the Reef, within the shadow of Pallas, and would act as safe haven for surviving or deserters of Fallen Houses, affected by the Taken War.

Recent Events

House of Gray

(Will add soon)

Forsaken

Before the events of the Hunt for the Scorn, many of the House of Lions would be attacked by the Scorn during their rampage across the Reef. The Lions would survive the attack but just barely, as a result they would flee from Pallas and over to Earth, seeking to try to find a new home. They would soon find ruins of Old Monaco and began setting up shop there, however their arrival to the ruins would be challenged by some forces of the Red Legion Remnants and some scavengers of the House of Dusk. However they would soon form a beachhead up in Mont Agel and began to slowly gain control over Monaco day by day.

After the destruction of the Scorn and the failures of The Kell's Scourge Syndicate, the Lions would push back the Cabal out of Monaco with the assistance of AJ. But their situation with Dusk was a different and more troubling problem, as their former Archon Priest, Warvriks, whom was now a House of Dusk member, would attempt to wrestle control over the Lions by building a replica of Jobkis Prime, the previous Servitor to the Lions. To make matters worse, the House of Dusk would deploy Cabal from Dusk Legion, a Cabal Legion that are loyal to Dusk, to capture Andiks Prime and hold the Servitor hostage. With Andiks out of the way, it would grow a power vacuum of the position of Prime Servitor, allowing Warvriks to assume command with the use of Jobkis, causing a split between the Lions. Those who were still with Joskaa were eager to rescue Andiks from the Dusk Legion, they would dispatch AJ once again to recover Andiks and help put a end to Warvriks' plan. Him along with a team of Lions, they would infiltrate the Dusk Legions' Outpost amongst the Monégasque Ruins and break out Andiks and kill its jailers. Now with Andiks free, Joskaa would pull off the assault against Dusk as they entered where they had Jobkis, destroyed the False Prime and drive Dusk out, finally giving the Lions the control over Old Monaco. After their victory, The Lions would later contact and ally with Mithrax to help bring any Open-Minded Eliksni to the Humanity side.

Crusades of the Jackals

Finally!, I did it, now time to put in this images for seriviks and others.
"The Forgotten Sibling"

"So, this "Syndicate" made by my sister, thinks they're a theat to us, We'll show them whos the real threat here, hehe.."
— Joskaa

Joskaa's sister, Seriviks, who was once a notable Archon to Andiks Prime, left the House, due to the Lions making peace with The Last City and Awoken. But after years and years of waiting, she would gathered up many Fallen from all around the system, including House of Gray remnants, who refused to bow to Joskaa and Lion deserters who were loyal to Seriviks, to form the Jackal Syndicate, and remain hidden from the system. However, a Jackal member, by the name of Chelsik would began an attempt to assassinate Joskaa and Grayria by hacking Lion Shanks and Walkers, to distract any Lions or Guards, while his crew infiltrates the area to kill them. But The Guardian, However thwarts his attempt and kills him, but would cause the Jackals to be revealed, and thus, the Crusades of the Jackals begans.

After the failed assassination, Seriviks, would take refuge on Nessus through a abandoned Kell's Scourge lair. But when scouts, belonging to the Lions found her location, Joskaa send in The Young Wolf to take her down and capture her. While arriving to Nessus, She was seen commanding Jackal operatives. But after She spotted the Guardian, she would escaped and would send Giltris, the Prowler to distract The Guardian, while She escape. After the unsuccessful capture, Joskaa would order the guardian to stand down while letting his Invisible Claw dealing with her capture. But despite the Guardian unable to capture her, they would intercept a hidden transmission from Magnusk, Lions' Wrath, which would include the coordinates to her location, deep within the vicinity of the moon: Titan. The Young Wolf would discover Jackalship Semkis-Fel and would fight her Kell's Guards, to reach her in the throne room, but even though they have almost catch her, She would escaped once again. Joskaa would find the Guardian, and question their motives. But they would explain it to him, he would allow the Young Wolf to continue their hunt over the Jackals, while he would re-open the Kell's Wrath to counteract the Jackal leadership.

With the return of Kell's Wrath, Guardians all around the system began hunting down any Jackal's Barons, Baronesses, or Generals such as Thresik, the Swordsman, Graksul, the Headhunter, Kithiks, the Pathfinder, and Pavik, Once Meek, they even make a more bigger blow with the destruction of Semkis Prime, The Crimson Widow, and the Metal Siblings. But with these victories, the Lions would staged a full-scale assault into the The Jackals' Den to defeat Seriviks and any remaining Jackals. So with the help of the Guardians, they were to kill most of Jackals' Generals, push further into their Lair and face Seriviks. But despites her Stock pile and reinforcements, they were able to execute her. crippling the Jackals, and the end of the Crusades.

Operation: “Duskfall”

In the aftermath of Forsaken and the Battle of the Yarkora Homeworld, Joskaa began observing the House of Dusk, seeing them become more dysfunctional than usual, thanks to the rivaling powers within the House. This led to Joskaa forming Operation: "Duskfall", a plan to dismantle Dusk’s competing sects. Such as destroying their Cloning factories and targeting their Political Figureheads. This would go on for long, before being disbanded before the events of Shadowkeep.

Wolf Resurgence

Despite the House of Wolves becoming extinct, by the Scorn, there has been some Wolf Loyalists who have recently joined the House of Lions, notably Trigoris and Lirsis. However it's unknown if they have allegiance under the Lion banner or if they are still truly loyal to the Wolves.

Structure

"House Lions are not like the rest of the others. They are quiet, they prowl, learn your tactics, learn your ways, and learn your weaknesses. But, just like Variks, they are smart enough to side with you than to face death (laughs)."
— Variks, The Loyal
The Lions' Kell, Joskaa

Unlike most Fallen House, the House of Lions follows a more complex and unique structure in a similar fashion to the House of Wolves, following the common leadership of Kells, Archons (although both of the two Archons are currently missing or dead), and a Prime Servitor with Barons and other notable nobility supporting them. However, they also have many stations and groups that operate more freely than those from other Fallen House, as long as it benefits the House.

Newly elected or younger Kells are mostly assisted by a council formed up of the most esteemed members within the House, which they help the Kell lead the House to a better path and works on the rules that the House must follow. Kells are protected by their own group of Kell's Guards, formed from the Lions' best soldiers, to defend and stay close to the Kell at most times, while the Kell's council are served by Lions' Guard, similar to Wolves' Guard, although they aren't hand selected or brainwashed to the point of serving their duty. The Lion Enforcers are there helps cements the rules and authority of the Kell's council and makes sure that the rank-and-file keeps their loyalty to the House even if they are allowed to do things freely. Similar to the Silent Fang, the Lions have their own sect of spies and assassins, known as the Invisible Claw, who aims to eliminate potential threats to the House, and spy on other Houses and Hostile races to learn more about them and potential weaknesses. Much like most Houses, the Lions also have their Splicer sect to help with augmenting their fellow Lions with cybernetics, and are in-charge with overseeing, modifying or repairing the House's machinery, led by the chief scientist of the House, whom has a seat within the Kell's council. Inspired by the Queen's Wrath, the Kell also have a personal team of elite Fallen who are tasked to target and destroy significant and more dangerous entities whom threaten Kell and take down traitors to the House, as well as placing Bounties on certain targets personally ordered by the Kell.

Outside the political and other leaderships of the House, the society of the House acts very more different than a House normally should. The House's numbers are a abnormally large amount of Vandals (this is due to Joskaa's beliefs and a number of gangs and groups), with them being allowed a large degree of operational freedom, long as they keep their loyalties to the House and bring valuable data and intel to the Lion leadership. Captains continues their roles of leading their crews and such, but are given more freedom, but with their power marginally weaken in favor for more operational freedom to other lower ranks. Subject of docking is shown to be very rare within the House, although this is because of the use of docking is used as a sentence to criminals and traitors within the House rather than punishment for certain mishaps, those who are docked serves crews and teams as labor and support, once at a certain threshold, they can be allowed to regrow their lower arms. There are rare instances where few Dregs are selected by the Kell for certain operation mission, which those said Dregs are allowed a small operational freedom in exchange for being supervised by a Lion Enforcer to make sure they do not abandon their mission or betray the House.

Following the events of Forsaken, and the rise of Fallen "syndicates", the Lions would be one of the only Houses that weren’t affected by this due to the Lions were able to adapt and grow more thanks to their system they have used during their time on Sol, however this would also cause a growing rift between those who continues and holds the customs of the old ways and those who are more younger and began learning and following Human culture and beliefs. This went even more further with Joskaa, the Lions' own Kell began adopting Humanity cultures, to point of him courting a Exo, which would break the Fallen's traditions; Furthering the rapid decline of the Fallen old culture and ways while being overshadowed by the rising trend of Fallen following human ways within the House.

Trivia

  • The House of Lions could be the descendants of the House of Wolves, since their Kell was formerly part of the wolves.
    • This theory was later debunked as not true, due to Joskaa’s predecessor, Yorvik was the kell and not a former wolf.
    • However, the Lions are a sister House to the Wolves.
  • To the Lion members, they call the House: "House Lions", while rival Fallen or Non-Fallen May sometimes call the House: "Lion Pack".
  • They are one of 3 houses that to not worship Servitors, the other 2 is House of Dusk and The Scorn.
    • They are also the first and only house that worship the christian religion.
      • However, after the Crusades of the Jackals, Joskaa allowed the Lions to have the freedom of religion, meaning that the Fallen can worship whatever they want. Most of the Lions went back to worshiping Servitors, while others continued to follow the Christian religion and other Earth religion, notably Joskaa and Askar, Lions' Patriarch.
  • The Lions are the first that eat other food that is not Ether.
  • It was seen that the Empty Tank, was a Hideout to the Lions, seen by it Lion Banners and white flags over the areas (Fan Fiction).
    • It was confirmed by Joskaa, however, the lair was supposed to be used a celebration party area, which was used for victories for the Lions, it also use as a relaxing and cooling down area for Joskaa, as the throne inside the fighting pit chamber was actually a replica of his throne, which the original is inside of Lionship Andiks-Fel (another Fan Fic Story).
  • It has been rumored that there's a House of Lions' Den in the vicinity of Jupiter, as it been noted that there's some Lion Scouts seen on Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter.
  • The Lions are the only known House, to have both their House Archons to desert their House, as Seriviks, the Archon of Andiks Prime, left the House to create The Jackal Syndicate, while Warvriks, Jobkis's Archon deserted his House to join the House of Dusk.
  • Their appearance in D1, stays the same in D2, with the exception of some of their members having a resemblance to House of Dusk Fallen (mostly their Wretch and Marauder units), possibly former Dusk members who defected from Dusk and join the Lion banner. However, ever since Beyond Light, the House of Lions' appearance would change entirely; their units carrying a similar style to their House of Salvation counterparts. This would be the same for the House of Vipers, the House of Emperors, and other newer Houses, after them.
  • Originally the Lions the lived among the Kuiper belt, but was changed to the Reef, but was changed back, but as a reference, as they did used to live there until the Taken War, and they moved to the Reef.
