House of Winter: Difference between revisions

|Nobility= [[Draksis, Winter Kell]]

The '''House of Winter''' are a [[house]] of the [[Fallen]], distinguishable by their blue and white armor and angled cloaks.

Years later, following a message sent by the [[Kell of Kings]] calling for a coordinated attack on the [[City]], [[Draksis]], the Kell of Winter, temporarily allied his house with the [[House of Devils]] and [[House of Kings|Kings]] in order to join the planned assault. In the ensuing carnage, later known as the Battle of [[Twilight Gap]], the united Fallen Houses were eventually forced into a full retreat due to the valiant efforts of the [[Guardians]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref> Following the failed assault, the House of Winter returned to scavenging the Venusian ruins and came into conflict with the [[Vex]]. It is believed that some time after the Battle of Twilight Gap, Winter's Prime Servitor, [[Simiks Prime]] was destroyed, though proof of its demise remains elusive. This loss left the leadership of the House in a precarious state.<ref name= "Simiks-3">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Simiks-3|Simiks-3]]''</ref> Draksis continued to wage war against the City, raiding jumpship convoys using guerrilla tactics, later causing [[Cayde-6]] of the [[Vanguard]] to personally raise the bounty on him.<ref name= "Kell of Winter>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Draksis_Winter_Kell|Draksis, Winter Kell]]''</ref>

During the [[Wolf Rebellion]], [[Skolas]], Kell of Wolves journeyed to Venus to take control of the now leaderless House of Winter, assimilating them into his forces and declaring himself as the Kell of Kells.<ref name="Kell Rising"/> In their hunt for Skolas, [[Guardian|Guardians]] fought against House of Winter troops on Venus, salvaging ship links from them in order to track the Kell's movements, leading [[The Reef]] to discover his deployment of the [[Silent Fang]] on [[Earth]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/House_of_Wolves#Gone_to_Ground|Gone to Ground]]''</ref> Later, Winter forces were present alongside the House of Wolves in aiding Skolas to break into the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]] and steal the Vex technology within, however they were stopped by [[The Guardian]]. Winter forces were also stationed in the [[The Citadel]] while Skolas enacted his plan to bring the entire House of Wolves through time. Following the capture of the Kell of Wolves at the hands of the [[Guardian|Guardians]] and the [[Reef]], and his subsequent execution in the [[Prison of Elders]], cooperation between Winter and the Wolves fell apart. As the Wolf Rebellion ended, the House of Winter was once again leaderless.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/5/19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Leadership#Skolas:_Defeated|Skolas: Defeated]]''</ref>
