The House of Reckoning as seen from outside.

This article is about the Banished facility. For the Halo Infinite campaign level, see House of Reckoning.

"The House of Reckoning. Such an appropriate name. Many of your kind have entered this arena. None have left!"

The House of Reckoning was a Banished facility on Installation 07. During the Installation 07 conflict, it served as War Chief Escharum's headquarters. It was also the final destination for UNSC POWs after they'd been interrogated at Chak 'Lok's Tower. Within the House of Reckoning, some prisoners were forced to undergo "training", in which they'd be placed on an artificial battlefield and forced to fight against overwhelming numbers of Banished troops. Despite being allowed to arm themselves with scavenged UNSC weaponry, no prisoner survived the arena. Other prisoners were simply tortured to death by Jega 'Rdomnai for his amusement.^[1]

Facilities

The "House of Reckoning had at least four levels accessible via elevator. The first two levels contained "training" arenas - mock battlefields made from stolen and salvaged UNSC sandbags, weapons, vehicles, and even structures. These objects were arranged on raised platforms that had been covered in sand, dirt, small rocks, and large boulders (likely acquired from the surface of Zeta Halo itself). The third level consisted of a single UNSC structure, the interior of which was set up to mimic an urban, close-quarters combat zone. Each of these arenas could be monitored from an observation room on their respective levels.

The fourth level possessed a torture machine like the ones used at Chak 'Lok's Tower.

The arena also possessed natural elements, namely large boulders (likely taken from the surface of Zeta Halo itself). These objects were arranged on a raised platform covered in sand. The second level of the House contained a very similar mock battlefield. The third level's arena consisted of a single UNSC structure, the interior of which was set up to mimic an urban, close-quarters combat zone. Each of these arenas had an observation room overlooking them.
