With Eramis as the leader, the Fallen race, or as they were known before The Whirlwind Of Destruction, the Eliksni, have every intention of recovering their race’s pride and will face all the guardians to achieve it. With the help of power granted by the Darkness, this mighty Kell has an advantage over our heroes, so get ready for this battle.

Although they have been in the game since the first Destiny, in Beyond Light, the Fallen become your nightmare and greatest enemy. So, if you are already playing or thinking of playing Destiny 2: Beyond Light, you should get to know your enemy better, so your chances of defeating them are greater. Take a look at these new facts you didn’t know about the Fallen.

10 What Happened To The Fallen?

In the beginning, The Fallen were a society where peace and prosperity reigned, considered their golden age. This tribe worshiped the great machine, but everything changed when a whirlwind of destruction wiped out everything in its path; this was an attack made by the Darkness and later the Hive.

After this, the great machine fled away, leaving The Fallen behind.

They started a new nomadic way of life, living in their ruins. They also have spread around the solar system, living on Earth, the Moon, and Venus.

9 Who Is Eramis?

Formerly known as Eramis, the Shipsteaker, she is a Fallen Kell from the House of Salvation and former Baroness from the House of Devils. After the mass breakout from the Prison of Elders (started by Variks), Eramis escaped the Prison, then created the House of Salvation and became the new “Kell of Kells.”

After the destruction of their home, Eramis and his entire species were filled with rage. He used this to build a new family and lead a movement to take revenge after all the tragedy. She plans to destroy the great machine and all those who followed it.

8 Fallen Biology

Because the Fallen have survived quite difficult times, they have developed abilities to live in harsh environments without any armor or body modifications. Their blood is purple, and they wear a helmet that helps them with breathing.

However, something that makes them a species with evolutionary advantages is their ability to regenerate their arms if they are ripped off from their bodies. Destiny’s lore has yet to explain if this ability is natural or was generated artificially.

7 The Fallen Houses

This group does not have a specific religion as The Hive does. However, it is divided into 11 houses, like The House of Exile or The House of Scar.

Despite being many houses in The Fallen, almost none of them get along except The Judgment House. Each of these houses has its respective Kell, who commands the troops and armies. Each house worships the Primor Servitor in charge of providing Ether. Eramis created the last house in the game being “The House of Salvation.”

6 Command Structure

Kells are considered the highest political authority, and they are practically the kings or presidents if you want to see it that way. The captains are the leaders. They have managed to gather a following of vandals and dregs, who serve as their crew. Second, in command are the barons, and the Kell second their authority, so they command leadership in their stiff.

In the last line, we find the vandals and the Dregs. While the vandals serve as working-class or soldiers, in addition to aspiring to become captains at some point, the Dregs are the lowest class being humiliated by mutilation of their two lower arms.

5 Ether

The Fallen need a gaseous substance called Ether to survive, which only Fallen’s servers can produce. Servitors can convert scavenged matter and energy into this substance through an unknown ritual. While servants were revered in earlier times, their legacy has led to this society’s degradation.

The higher the amount of Ether, the greater the Fallen’s height, which is why captains are usually taller than Vandals. Those in charge of distributing the Ether are the Callable House, using their personal cipher.

4 The Battle Of Six Fronts

This battle is symbolized by the Titan’s Insignia, a hexagon representing the six fronts divided into four pieces. These pieces refer to the two largest orders and the two smallest that fought in this war. The Taken troops were looking to take The Traveler.

In this event, the House of Devil had planned an attack on the city. Four titans’ orders defended the four walls that protected the town against six enemy approaches, and none fell in battle. In this battle, great characters like Osiris, Saint-14, and Commander Zavala fought against Fallen’s troops.

3 Battle Of Twilight Gap

This battle has Tikal of King as the Fallen leader, who was in charge of manipulating the King’s, Devil’s, and Winter’s houses to plan an attack against the city. At the Battle of Twilight Gap, the city managed to push back all the Fallen’s united troops, thanks to Lord Shaxx leading a counterattack that defeated them all. At the end of this conflict, Saint-14 crushed all the troops, defeating Sulkus, Caliphs of Devils. This is known as The Crusade of Saint-14.

2 Atraks-1, Fallen Exo

Nicknamed Wildcard, Atraks is a Fallen commander who comes from The House Of Salvation and is a baron of the inner council where Eramis placed all her trust. She grew up listening to stories of the House of Devils and their glory days. Wildcard was born after The Whirlwind and had no memories of her first years of life on Riis.

Her first appearance in Beyond Light is right after the Glassway Mission, standing Right Next To Eramis. She was in charge of recruiting members for the House of Salvation to take advantage of the new power gained from the Darkness. After her conversion into an Exo, this girl had dissociative problems for changing into a robotic body, driving her to madness and causing her to murder the other Atraks.

1 Variks The Loyal

In any story, not everyone on the villain’s side is evil; some actually reconsider and join the right side of the story, like Variks The Loyal, a Fallen Scribe, and former Warden of the Prison of Elders. Originally from The House of Judgment, he is not loyal to any Kell or members of The House of Wolves. In the first Destiny, he even stole technology from the Fallen to help humanity.

In Destiny 2: Beyond Light, Variks had first made alliances with Eramis. However, upon seeing her obsession with Darkness’ power, he decided to betray her. Variks is the one who sent a transmission to the Guardians to come to Europa to fight against The House of Salvation. After his betrayal, Eramis froze him in half.
