House Info
Name: House Acasta
Affiliation: Imperium
Knight World: Nethreus
Colours:
Motto:

House Acasta is a Knight House of the Imperium.[1]


Overview

It resides on Nethreus, located within the Gilead System, but the isolationist House normally does not concern itself with off-world affairs. Nethreus is also a volcanic Death World, which is filled with giant creatures that constantly attack the void-shielded cities where the world's population resides. Each city, known as a Dominion, is protected by Acasta's Knights and are ruled by one of the House's Barons, who in turn show fealty to Acasta's High King. Currently Vilmaar XIV rules the House, but each Baron covets his powerful position and the Throne of Ivory Knives the High King sits upon.[1]

In the wake of the Great Rift's creation, Gilead has become isolated from the Imperium and is now protected by the forces of the Rogue Trader Jakel Varonius. However, in order to procure Acasta's aid in defending the System, Jakel has begun providing the House with off-world flora and the aid of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Vilmaar has since become willing to help Jakel in a limited fashion and he has sent a few of his Knights to aid the Rogue Trader. This has drawn resentment from some of Acasta's Barons, though, and some have begun secretly meeting with off-world envoys from other groups.[1]
