Wolf Rebellion: Difference between revisions

After the death of Skolas it was hoped that the Wolves were broken, never to rise again. This would not be the case as a new army of Wolves regrouped in the dunes of [[Meridian Bay]], intent on making Mars their home. Led by the rebuilt [[Orbiks Prime]], the Wolves were able to seize numerous Cabal strongholds weakened by the [[Taken War]]. But these gains were swiftly reversed by Guardian intervention and in the end, ether stained sand was all that was left of the once mighty House of Wolves.

The prelude to the Wolf Rebellion began during the [[Battle of the Twilight Gap]]. All Fallen Houses banded together to seize control of the Traveler for themselves. The Devils, Winter and King houses met the Guardians in a fierce battle at the Twilight gap. The House of Wolves originally intended to join them and they could've turned the tide to the Fallen's favor but Queen Mara Sov intervened. Whether to save potential allies or for some other unknown reason, Mara Sov launched a surprise attack on the Wolves that claimed the lives of half their numbers and even their Kell, [[Virixas]]. Soon began a long and bloody conflict, the [[Reef Wars]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen_Hunted#WANTED:_Skolas,_Kell_of_Kells|WANTED: Skolas, Kell of Kells]]''</ref>  

Without the Wolves' support the Fallen failed to take the Traveler in the Twilight Gap and the Wolves now served as the Queen's enforcers and bodyguards.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-5-19)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[House of Wolves]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Fallen#Ghost_Fragment:_Fallen_3|Ghost Fragment: Fallen 3]]''</ref>

Gathering his followers from the [[Prison of Elders]] and leading an attack against the Reef, Skolas nearly assassinated the Queen, led by [[Saviks]] and the [[Queenbreakers]], before taking his house away from the Reef to plan their next move. Angered by the Wolves betrayal, the Queen called in her favor to the Guardians, offering the riches of her realm for hunting down the traitorous Wolves.<ref name="Reveal"/>

With [[Petra Venj]] and Variks as their guides, the Guardians tracked Skolas to [[Venus]] where he sought to gain the allegiance of the leaderless [[House of Winter]]. The Guardian was able to find Skolas rallying the Winter Fallen after calling himself the prophesied [[Kell of Kells]], a Fallen warrior that would unite all Fallen Houses and claim the Great Machine. Despite encountering Skolas, the Guardians were unable to capture the Kell and he was able to gain a number of the winters allegiance.<ref name="Rising"/>

The aftermath of the Wolves reemergence led to another defeat for the House of Wolves. The Guardians destroyed whatever leadership and strength the Wolves might have had left and were now humiliated and broken. Once a great and feared House, the Wolves were brought low for good. The House of Wolves would truly be doomed to extinction after the last of its servitors were hunted down, the last one being personally destroyed by the [[Scorn]].
