'''Noble Houses''' are [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] Houses, that have been officially recognized as Nobles by the their [[Hive World]]'s ruling [[Planetary Governor|Imperial House]], by being given a '''writ of nobility'''.{{Fn|1a}}
The ruling [[House Helm'ayr]] originally ratified the creation of [[Hive Primus]]' first Noble Houses in [[M35]] and many of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive]]s then followed their example{{Fn|1a}}. Since their creation, many new Houses have been created, while others have met their end, by losing their status {{Fn|1b}}, or being destroyed {{Fn|1c}}. While they may fight each other, all of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s Noble and [[Clan House]]s have signed the [[Jar Helmawr IV|Oath Nobilies]], vowing to never break the world's [[Pax Imperium]] with open warfare.{{Fn|1d}}
