The '''House of Kings''' is one of the major [[Fallen]] houses, distinguishable by their three-pointed yellow cloaks.
The '''House of Kings''' was a [[Fallen]] House, distinguishable by their three-pointed yellow cloaks.


Among the Eliksni, they are unique, secretive, and dangerous. Their power is only matched by their cleverness. They hide in the shadows, waiting, and plotting the downfall of the [[Last City]] and reclamation of the [[Traveler]].

For many years the House of Kings maintained influence over the techno-religious leadership of the House of Devils and controlled the [[Archon's Forge]] until a newer, more ambitious sect, the [[Devil Splicers]], assumed control over the Forge. This gave rise to three new [[Archons|Devil Archons]] and allowed the Splicers to burrow into connecting area of [[Site-6]], later infusing themselves with [[SIVA]].

By the end of the SIVA crisis, the House of Kings seemed to have pulled out of the Cosmodrome completely.
