'''House Helm'ayr''' was the ruling [[Imperial]] House of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], until its poor fortune it was struck by misfortune that led to the rise of its successor [[House Helmawr]].{{Fn|1a}}
The House was founded by [[Martek Helm'ayr]], who was made [[Planetary Governor]] of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], after he restored order to the rebellious [[Hive World]] in 085.[[M34]]{{Fn|1b}}. House Helm'ayr would then rule Necromunda for several millennia{{Fn|1a}}, which saw them defeat a powerful warlord in 490.[[M34]] during the [[Tray'ayr Cyberia|Great Road War]]{{Fn|1c}}, cause the exile of thousands into the [[Ash Waste]]s after Helm'ayr targeted subversive bloodlines in 150.[[M35]]{{Fn|1d}} and its ratification of [[Hive Primus]]' first [[Noble House]]s and [[Clan House]]s sometime in [[M35]]{{Fn|1e}}. Misfortune would then strike House Helm'ayr though and by early [[M36]], the sickly [[Jar Helm'ayr]] was the last true gene-descendant of Martek. Jar would spend his short life ensuring the preservation of Helm'ayr's bloodline and his House's rule, by creating vat grown children using his DNA strands combined with those of the strongest Necromundans. Before his deformities and frailty ended his life, Jar then created [[House Helmawr]] for his gene-children to rule, which would also serve as House Helm'ayr's successor.{{Fn|1a}}
