What are the Kings plotting?

First off, I just want to say thanks for letting me in The Ashen Conflux. Now, for the theory. Will the Kings attempt to do what Skolas did? House of Kings card- [quote]The colors of the House of Kings are rarely seen. They act with [b]brutal contempt[/b] as if they hold their rivals-[u]other Fallen[/u] and City alike-[u]in disdain...[/u][/quote] Interesting. So, House Kings obviously holds hatred for humans and the City, but also shows that they hate the other houses, which isn't exactly ground breaking. But, it's the fact that they see them as actual enemies, not just rivals. During the House of Wolves DLC, there was a mission called the Ruling House. In that mission, you saw three ambassadors around a table, two hailing from Kings, one from Wolves. But, those King Barons weren't as they seemed. They were assassins. In the Paskin, King Baron card, Uldren talks about how the Kings aren't going to just roll over and let Skolas subjugate them. Then, in the next card, Vekis, King Baron, Uldren elaborates on how why the Kings just sent two Barons to meet Yavek. It's because, as I said earlier, because they weren't just common Barons, but assassins. Maybe the Kell of Kings thought Skolas himself would appear, or maybe he wanted to send a message to Skolas with Yavek's head. Either way, they were stopped. But, it just shows how clever and ambitious the Kings are. And now, with Skolas out of the way, and a new technological enhancement(SIVA) the Kings can become even more powerful than ever before. They rule the Devils. They most likely rule the Splicers as well, as you can see King banners all over the Archon's Forge. What's also interesting is the confuzzling case of Aksor. A disciple of Kaliks, Aksor crusaded against the City and the Awoken. But, he is bathed in King colors, has King banners, and is trying to join Winter. Perhaps Aksor had orders to infiltrate Winter, after he possibly joined Kings? It would theoretically make sense, as Winter was a major force(until the Guardian obliterated it), with a strong Kell, Draksis. To sum up, I believe that House Kings is trying to get all the Houses together, like Skolas did. They already rule Devils, and with their uncovering of SIVA, Kings could possibly be stronger. House Kings may have been trying to eliminate their direct competition, Wolves, becuase Skolas had the same idea. Kings may have tried to pull Winter to them, with the Priest Aksor. But now, with almost all Houses(King untouched) destroyed, they may all just join willingly. And when they do, the City may not stand for a third time. [b][u]*EDIT*[/u][/b] [spoiler][quote]The Kings watch from afar, like bosses. They wouldn't send their ranks out when they can take advantage of the expendable Devils. They tested SIVA's augmentative abilities in the Devils, like lab rats. They needed to see what it would do to Fallen DNA, without risk of damaging a King. After Aksis, who was most likely ordered by the Kings to become so powerful, they've seen its capabilities and can now augment it even further. The Kings aren't present in the plaguelands as encounters, because being in such a place is beneath them. But surely they've made their presence known by their banners and connection to the Devils. What the Kings have planned for us will make Aksis look like a true puppet.[/quote] Written by Goku Black. This is a really good explanation of how the Kings are manipulative beings.[/spoiler] [spoiler]If there's anything wrong with my theory, please feel free to say so in the comments.[/spoiler] [spoiler]3 walls! New record![/spoiler] *Last edited 11/20/16*

  • Nothing, the kings are planning nothing. Seriously, we beat the vex, we beat the hive, we beat skolas (in all honesty it doesn't make sense since crota and the vex should have been infinitly more powerful than skolas) and then we beat Oryx. Seriously, by any means of comparison at this point we are the superpower of the galaxy, if at lest not the solar system. Splicers and SIVA was a joke, but whatever. Anything going foreword in destiny needs to introduce some sort of new superpower for us to fight, the fallen at this point are nothing, I still believe Oryx was the pinnacle of powerful enemies. Nothing else at this point really compares. If anything D2 should bring the fallen into an alliance with us because we could/should be able to absolutely crush them and exterminate their race at any point we choose to. Cabal? Meh.... If anything I think it's a little ridiculous how they created the story and the game, year one we should have been fighting fallen and cabal, massive campaigns and wars and story with them. The Hive, Taken, and Vex shouldn't have even been introduced yet (maybe a little hive or vex here or there to scare us or something, maybe seeing lost stories or hints to them) but we should have beaten the fallen and cabal first, established a universe, a large story, and then game changers like the vex could show up, then hive, then taken. Progressively fighting stronger and more powerful enemies. Building up the lore. Bungo made a huge mistake by having us essentially destory the Vex in what, 15 missions? Destroy the Hive in no time. These guys are the biggest and baddest bosses out there. Atheon, Crota, Oryx, should have only been spoken or teased about. And bungo shot themselves in the foot by trying to convince us that after killing these three (if not even the first two) anything else should provide a challenge in comparison to these gods.
