The Nuthyan Dynasty was a Necron Dynasty that was destroyed[1b], during the War in Heaven[1c] and has since been forgotten.[1b]

History

Its doom came, when a wandering conclave of Cryptek scholars came seeking to become patronages. Led by Am-heht, they sought resources to aid them in their quest to command all of the Cryptek disciplines through the mastery of the Necrons' mind. The conclave included the disciples Dagon, Khertykh and Mentep and it was the last Cryptek who convinced Nuthyan's Phaeron, Weret-segh, to allow them to become the Dynasty's patrons. After establishing themselves on Nuthyan's Crownworld, Carnotite, the conclave's work began to increase Weret-segh's wealth.[1b]

However while the disciples had the goal of mastering the Necron mind, to aid in ensuring the well being of their race, Am-heht's goals were very different. The conclave's leader was talented beyond measure, but also ambitious beyond caution. They sought to break the limits of what the Necrons thought was possible, for no reason other than the pleasure of doing so. To them the conclave's goal would achieve this and on Carnotite, Am-heht began a journey to the fevered depths of reason itself. In such a place, the distinctions as space, time, energy and matter became meaningless and caused Am-heht to become something else. They became more powerful afterwards afterwards, but Am-heht's disciples soon discovered that a madness began to overtake their leader[1a]. Am-heht became driven to conduct a grand experiment using the Crownworld itself and used their power to gain control of the Dynasty's resources. This was not enough for Am-heht to achieve their goal and soon the population of Carnotite became their puppets. The depravity of Am-heht's actions and their experiments would cause the conclave to shatter. One by one each of Am-heht's disciples would leave Carnotite in disgust of their leader and themselves. Each would then strike out on their own. With Carnotite now fully under Am-heht's control, the Nuthyan Dynasty disappeared from the Necrons' history, and the Crownworld was dramatically changed to better suit the needs of their experiment.[1b]
