So seeing as ROI is on the horizon, I decided to replay a bunch of story missions and strikes from vanilla and HOW, since I'm desperate to learn about the House of Kings and what their goal is. What I found was that the House of Kings is potentially present in more of the game than I realized. Remember the Shrine of Oryx mission, and the House of Exile trying to invade the Hellmouth? This is the first time we meet a Fallen Baron. I pulled out my ghost to read the explanation of my objective and it says "assassinate Frigoris and weaken the Kings grip on the Moon." This leads me to believe that Frigoris was "exiled," but in fact works for the Kings as some sort of undercover spy, taking orders and leading Exile to do the Kings bidding. I also believe Aksor, the Archon Priest, is from the House of Kings. I assumed he was a Wolf, but his armour is yellow and white. Then I remembered the Kaliks Reborn boss from PoE 32/34. The Fallen he absorbs for health are Archon Servants, and they are also from the House of Kings. This leads me to believe that the Kings had some behind-the-scenes involvement in the Reef Wars, or a plot to incite rebellion against the queen. This is further supported by the HOW storyline, where Skolas conquered the House of Winter, and sent the Silent Fang to assassinate the leaders of the Devils, but went about the Kings entirely differently. All he sent was a small force lead by one of his lieutenants. This Baron is seen negotiating with two Kings Barons. This indicates a diplomatic relationship between the two houses, and the Kings trying to manipulate the other houses to do their dirty work. This is just speculation, but I think the "Kell" of Kings isn't Fallen, but rather, a Warmind or the nine, but that's just my take on it. What do you guys think? I think I will receive my Spinfoil hat in the mail soon. Edit: Holy cow were trending! Glad to see you like it, I thought it was just me reading in too deep!
