Fallen House
Fallen Houses are Necromunda Noble Houses[1a] and Clan Houses[2b][3], that have lost their status.[1a][2b][3]
Description
The Houses' Lords are usually hunted down and killed to ensure they do not threaten the rule of the Hive World's Imperial Commander Gerontius Helmawr. Those that survive, though, become known as Rebel Lords and are often driven to seek vengeance against Gerontius for their downfall[1b]. In time, however, the names of most Fallen Houses will simply fade away, as the Hive World's long history is littered with them.[1a]
