Two-Faced War
The Two-Faced War erupted on Necromunda in M37 after Planetary Governor Hyrodo Helmawr died without leaving a clear line of succession between his two eldest children, the Lady Cinderak and Lord Gothrul.[1]
This led the two siblings to wage war on each other for the right to succeed their father and the Two-Faced War became the greatest threat to Necromunda's Pax Imperium since the Second Great Pacification. The two siblings knew not to let their conflict grow too out of hand, though, lest the Imperium's wrath fall upon them, and in the end, Lady Cinderak defeated her brother. She would go on to become Necromunda's next Planetary Governor, while Gothrul would have a hive named after him, which some say still contains his remains beneath its surface.[1]
Meanwhile, the conflict escalated between the Necromundan Noble Houses Ulanti and Athenos. After its conclusion, the secret Ulanti sect known as the Eschaki became disillusioned with how far their House had drifted from its origin. They chose to then exile themselves from Hive Primus's spire and in time became known as House Escher.[2]
