Variks says House Rain was destroyed, but he “keeps their prophecies”. In house of wolves, these are: ——- Before him, foes will flee or fall. But he will heal the houses, make them whole. The Great Machine will marvel, moved by might, and come to crown him Kell of Kells. What Whirlwind whisked away will be rewrought, and every Kell and Ketch will kneel to the Kell of Kells. ———- It doesn’t say the Kell of Kells is a fallen. Uldren and the crows are the ones who take Skolas into custody at the end of the campaign. Skolas wasn’t the real leader because he didn’t fulfill the prophecy. The prophecy also says that House Judgement is closest to peace the fallen have known. Just wondering if he meant “closest” in a literal sense. Variks leads house judgement. He was attached to the Queen.... putting him closest of all the fallen to Uldren.
