I think you mean "fallen house", Kell isa title that fallen leaders have... technically the House of Wolves (who the Awoken lead) do not have a Kell, they are led by the Queen of the Reef.

Spot on, my mistake.

Darkness itself is fairly vauge (obviously intended to be so) and could be anything from simply the inevitable doom of the Traveler, the ire of the species it has left behind, or an actual force that is seeking out the traveler.

Seeing that most of the species in the game have either been tainted by or consumed by darkness and there are visible effects ( I mean just look at the hive). So I am far more inclined to believe that the darkness is a consuming force AND the named darkness also includes whatever drives it. I mean that when it is referenced it means the actual force that is consuming and the inherent will to consume as being of a greater sentient presense.

In short: something lurks in the Darkness and has taken control of it, using it to spread corruption and consuming the galaxy.

Just a thought.
