well, there are many houses but basically the fallen got the traveler first before the humans even knew about it, they grew into a noble and prosperous species only for the traveler to leave their homeworld triggering something the Eliksni call “the whirlwind” basically plunging the species and houses into chaos, houses split up, alliances were broken, and battle lines were drawn.

now the fallen are a race of space pirates some clinging to their old ways of peace and honor some taking a more ruthless approach, attacking any and all fellow Eliksni on sight if they’re a different house from theres.

just some background, Skintar is the Kell of the house of wolves…a kell is the leader/warlord of the particular house in question and the kell gets the most ether but thats a sidenote…the dregs are the lowest of all the fallen or closest to lowest, they have their lower arms “docked” they essentially cut their lower set of arms off and put caps on so they cant grow back, forcing those dregs into submission to the captains…the dregs fight to impress the captains hoping to one day be promoted to the rank of vandal and get their lower arms back..

anyway, just some insight into the fallen, hope it helps!
