How do the fallen houses work?

In destiny 1 there was the house of wolves with skolas who was considered a kell. However, before that they had a god called orbiks prime they worshiped. Does every fallen house have a machine god and a kell to command them? And if so then what would be the leadership hierarchy for them? In Destiny 2 we see Mythrax trying to make the house of light while variks considers himself the kell of kells. Can anybody give me some insight on the fallen houses from past to present? Or any place I can get some info?

  • Well when Bungie want a “new” adversary they just re-skin an old one... that’s how the system works for everything in Destiny. Reissue, reuse, re-skin, recycle...

  • No the Kell is that house leader. The floating round ball provides ether being their form of light supplement post Traveler blessing taken back. Your referencing a rare and odd circumstance. I don’t recall how the Arkon priest part worked except it was a separate role.

    • Fallen society is organized like feudal (medieval) Europe. Each house is like a kingdom. The Kell is the king. The Archon is like the Archbishop or Cardinal. But as in any feudal society, the king isn’t powerful enough to rule on his own. He has to win the support of the Church—-The Archon—-because they keep the Ether necessary for the Houses survival flowing. He also needs the support of the warrior class (nobility), the Captains. Both to protect the House from outside threats, and because any challenges to the Kelly’s power will come from the Captains. The Captains run things at the local level and command the common soldiers (dregs). The support of the Dregs is won and maintained by offering them a chance to move up in status and become a Captain if the distinguish themselves. Captains are kept in line by the fact that they can have their preferential access to ether cut off, their arms docked and demoted back to the ranks of the Dregs.

    • When a kell loves an archon very much they share a special hug and make babies. They then move into a ketch together and get a pet servetor, who ends up having babies of it's own because they for got to get it fixed.

      • In D1 each proper house had a Kell to lead them, a prime servitor to feed them, and an Archon to worship and tend to the prime servitor. House of devil's did not have a Kell during D1, however they stayed together thanks to their archon and prime servitor taking the leads House of exiles also didn't have a Kell, or an Archon, or even a prime. They were nut jobs, I loved them In D2 the house of dusk is the result of fallen society getting so desperate that they'd rather throw their old traditions aside just to survive. They have no Kell, they are unorganized, but they have the combined resources of all previous houses and the will power to survive Mithrax is the Kell of house of light, whether he has an archon or a prime is unknown But none of this matters because... [spoiler]THE SCORN ARE ETERNAL[/spoiler]

      • They don't work. That's how they work.

      • yay something I can answer: the fallen formerly known as the eliskni are divided into houses with kells being the leaders and bellow them archons and prime servitors. servitors are worshiped by the fallen as they were made in the image of the traveller and are the fallen's primary source of ether. in between d1 and d2 the fallen houses collapsed and they combined into 1 house called the house of dusk with no kells or archons, and prime servitors being mass produced. currently there is only 3 kells:variks,mithrax,and erimis

        Kells lead the House and commanded all the Fallen and Servitors in their House as the undisputed ruler. Prime Servitors (like Orbiks Prime) are the main source of Ether for the Fallen. After their civilization was destroyed in the Whirlwind, the Fallen’s dependence on Servitors and technology led them to treat the Servitors as gods. Archon Priests were caretakers for the Servitors and also became religious figures. Barons are next in the chain of command, then Captains, then Vandals are the regular soldiers/members of the species, and Dregs are the lowest ranking who are shamed and have two of their arms docked. One Kell leads every House. There can be multiple Prime Servitors in a House or no Primes. Orbiks Prime was actually a secondary Prime for the Wolves. Kaliks Prime was the Prime of their House. But the last of the Houses were killed off in Destiny 1, with their leadership gutted. The remaining Fallen united to form House Dusk, which has no structure of leadership. Since then, Dusk has been dividing, splitting into radical groups and syndicates. Mithrax is making a new House callled Light that wants to side with humanity. Variks has declared himself the Kell of House Judgement (not Kell of Kells, that was a comparison made by one of Ikora’s Hidden), and he intends to restore the peace and laws the Fallen had before the Whirlwind. Anything more questions?

        • KS27 crushed the response here. I'll only add that Variks, Eramis, and Mithrax are currently the only 3 contenders to fufill the prophecy of rain, which I presume is where the feel that Variks is a kell of kells. Fingers crossed we kill Variks and Eramis and get that house of light happening as the fufillment of the prophecy of rain. That would be my jam.

          • All Houses have a Prime Servitor they worship and use as the primary of the primary sources for Ether creation. Then the have Kells and sometimes Archon Priests. It’s just part of the Hierarchy. Prime Servitors, Kells, and Archons all basically lead the Houses. But none of that actually matters since all of the old D1 Houses banded together to create the House of Dusk you see in D2. Only now Eramis is moving to create her own House. Mithrax is doing the same. No one knows about Variks, though it’s known that Eramis is with Variks, either as her prisoner or her partner.

              Fallen lore isn’t something I’m good with, but every house probably had a prime servitor, but I don’t know if they all worshiped them like gods, or if any of the houses saw them as nothing more than machines. And as far as I know the only house that doesn’t have a kell would be the House of Dusk (and [i]maybe[/i] Judgment?) which isn’t really a house. And I don’t think they really worship servitors since you can find a bunch of them abandoned in some of the destinations. Edit: Oh, Exile also didn’t have a kell. Most of the houses are gone, mostly absorbed into Dusk or destroyed. Though, we do have the House of Darkness coming in Beyond Light, which seems to be composed mostly of ex-Devils, with their Kell also being an old Devils baroness. Ok, how inaccurate was that? Someone correct what I got wrong, since I’m also curious.
