House Visscher
House Visscher are a Navigator House of the Navis Nobilite.[1]
Overview
One of the most ancient Houses operating in the Koronus Expanse, despite great wealth, they are not especially well known outside of the Navis Nobilite, due to their specialisation in the gathering of knowledge, particularly astrographics data. The House’s agents sometimes infiltrate the inner circles of numerous other bodies, including the crew of Rogue Trader, Imperial Navy, and Explorator vessels, as well as their rivals within the Navis Nobilite itself.[1]
Visscher favour casting drops of their own blood and certain dyes into water and reading the coloured ripples to predict the influence of the Warp upon a prospective journey.[1]
Heraldry
The House's colours are blue and crimson, with a device of a stylized cardinal quill upon a blue parchment.[1]
Holdings
House Visscher maintains extensive holdings across the Segmentum Obscurus and their palace on Holy Terra. The House has established a chancellery in Port Wander on the Calixis end of the Koronus Passage.[1]
