Changes

'''House Catallus''', also known as the '''House of Masks'''{{Fn|3a}}, is one of the seven [[Noble Houses]] of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Primus]], and was once second only to [[House Helmawr]] until a civil war divided the House. The losing faction was exiled to the [[Ash Wastes (Necromunda)|Ash Wastes]] where they became the [[Ash Waste Nomads|Nomad gangs]], and are hunted by the Catallus [[Spyrer]]s to this day.{{Fn|2a}}

House Catallus sends out its young men and women in [[Spyrer]] teams to prove themselves ready to rule like the other Noble Houses. They are sent to the [[Ash Wastes (Necromunda)|Ash Wastes]] to hunt the [[Nomad]]s descended from their ancestors' enemies in what is more a traditional ritual than genuine revenge. In practice, Nomads, [[Shanty Towns|Shanty]] dwelblers and even [[Merchants Guild|Guilder]] caravans are all hunted as vermin, who hate and fear the Spyrers in return.{{Fn|2a}}

{{Trivia}}* The lore which made exiled House Catallus nobles the forebears of the [[Ash Wastes Nomad]]s was retconned in 2022, when the Ash Wastes Nomads were presented as being the last citizens of the [[Araneus Continuity]]'s empire who fled from their oppressors into the wastes, way before House Catallus existed.{{Fn|5}} No mention of 2002's House Catallus civil war{{Fn|2a}} was found in the 2021 [[Necromunda: House of Artifice]] book.{{Fn|3b}}* Unlike [[Necromunda Magazine Issue 3]]'s article ''The Ash Wastes'', where Catallus was presented as divided in a civil war and only the losing faction was exiled into the wastelands,{{Fn|2a}} the house was presented in [[Fanatic Online 030-039#Issue:_31|Fanatic Online 31]]'s article ''Necromunda: Ash Waste Nomads'' as a fully [[Fallen House|fallen house]] whose members were all cast out into the wastelands.{{Fn|7}}
