Noble Houses are Necromunda Houses, that have been officially recognized as Nobles by the Hive World's ruling Imperial House, by being given a writ of nobility.[1a]
The ruling House Helm'ayr originally ratified the creation of Hive Primus' first Noble Houses in M35 and many of Necromunda's Hives then followed their example[1a]. Since their creation, many new Houses have been created, while others have met their end, by losing their status [1b], or being destroyed [1c]. While they may fight each other, all of Necromunda's Noble and Clan Houses have signed the Oath Nobilies, vowing to never break the world's Pax Imperium with open warfare.[1d]
