'''House Cawdor''' (also called the '''House of Redemption''' or '''House of Faith''') is one of the six major [[Clan House]]s on [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Primus]], known for its rigid adherence to the [[Redemption Cult|Cult of the Redemption]], though the connection to the Cult's outlawed crusades is one their leaders are careful to minimise. This mysterious House is perhaps the second most populous after [[House Orlock]]{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|3a}}, while other sources state it is the most populous by far.{{Fn|15e}}
House Cawdor has dedicated itself entirely to the Redemptionist cause and the Cult has attained the status of an official religion in Cawdor uniquely among the hive's Houses, making Cawdor the stronghold of the Cult and effectively controlled by it. The unforgiving creed of the Cult demands a strict code of conduct; those who break the rules are driven away and become outlaws. The codes of their religion forbid them from showing their faces in public upon pain of death, and so the Cawdor can be recognised by the hooded jackets or heavy, elaborate masks which they wear to conceal their features, which are often quite bizarre or disturbing in design. The path of righteousness is at its purest in House Cawdor, with regular public witch hunts and mass burnings of heretics and mutants, who they are especially quick to turn on, even in the more tolerant Underhive.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}
While House Cawdor never has a shortage of manpower due to the popularity of Redemptionists within the downtrodden [[hive scum ]] of Necromunda , it is said that so-called Child-Harvesters exist to roam the hab levels at night and look for lost youth to conscript.{{Fn|15e}} The Cawdors' gang-dialect is know known as ''pilgrim cant''.{{Fn|18}}
