Toland was obsessed with the hive and all their practices, I am obsessed with the fallen, who are you obsessed with? Who do you want to know inside and out?
Post why below.
Here's some of my theories on them:
Fallen[spoiler] they have an amazing hierarchy of royalty. If you didn't know the dregs are actually just vandals with their arms cut off. The captain's are just vandals with better gear. I assume barons are just captains that hold land. The Kell may be equivalent to a king, but I'm unsure.
So what made them scavengers? What made them fall? Was it us? The traveler? The darkness?[/spoiler]
Hive[spoiler] they exist outside death! They are not born into life, nor do the pass on from it. They are simply created and destroyed.
And horrifyingly, created again.[/spoiler]
Vex[spoiler] computing organic robots. Who created them? The precursors? The darkness? The traveler? Are they trying convert all organic life into their hybrid like?
Will we be able to defeat them?[/spoiler]
Cabal[spoiler] these brutal soldiers are easily holding their own against one of our greatest enemy, the vex. Who do they fight for? I've read grimoire that stated some merely fear their command while others follow.[/spoiler]
Traveler[spoiler] is it evil? Is it just misunderstood?
Will it be our salvation our destruction?[/spoiler]
Come check out the collective of knowledge and discuss the lore of all these and more!

As far as the Kell goes he and the Archon have an arrangement. The Archon hears the needs of the House, gets updates from the Prime Servitor about where to go, and generally keeps track of culture and religion. The Kell keeps 'em in-line and oversees military operations and in general finds the needs reported by the Archon and decides how to get where the PS dictates. What's most interesting is that while they're given some serious leg room they are incredibly bound by the Servitors as they supply the Ether necessary for survival. Much of this is elaborated in The Arena's Armor flavor text. Most excellent read.
