'''Necron Dynasties''' are former great houses of the [[Necrontyr]]. Now however they are entities of allegiance by every [[Necron]]. Allegiance to a dynsty dynasty was once purely a matter of family and tradition, but it is now entrenched through conquest and programming. Before the coming of the [[C'tan]], there were many hundreds of Necrontyr dynasties. Through the Wars of Secession, the [[War in Heaven]], and the rebellion against the C'tan, many of these dynasties were dstroyreddestroyed. It is impossible to say how many survived, though the number is likely in the hundreds.<sup>1</sup>
Since the [[Silent King]] destroyed the protocols of control over the Necron race, the Necron Dynasties now act independently from one another and pursue their own agendas. Each Dynasty is ruled over by a [[Necron Overlord]] while the most powerful Dynasties, ones which encompass an entire [[Sector]], may be ruled over by [[Phaeron]]s. Currently, the [[Sautekh Dynasty]] is the most powerful of the Necron race.<sup>1</sup>
