Clan House
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Clan Houses are Necromunda Houses, that have been given official dominion over the various industries of the world's Hives.[1a]
The ruling House Helm'ayr originally ratified the creation of Hive Primus' first Clan 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 either being forcibly split apart[1b], destroyed in battle[1a] or by a hostile takeover of their industries[1c]. While they may fight each other, all of Necromunda's Clan and Noble Houses have signed the Oath Nobilies, vowing to never break the world's Pax Imperium with open warfare.[1d]
