Pre-release ARG[]
Before House Divided was revealed, there was an out-of-game ARG that involved finding clues on a third party website to uncover J'Ula's manifesto, as well as J'mpok's response to it. In addition, members of the Sons of None were revealed, an elite group of warriors brought forward in time with J'Ula. The ARG culminated with the reveal of Rekha Sharma (who played Ellen Landry) taking over the role of Adet'pa.
