The Underhive BackgroundThe Underhive BackgroundThis page is for you if you do not know very much, or anything about necromunda, Hive Primus and the underhive.
Necromunda is a planet in the 41st millenium, it is a world covered with
ash and poisonous gases, so people live in gigantic hives. Necromunda RPG and Necromunda
the wargame are played in a hive called Hive Primus. The hive is controlled by Imperial
hous Helmawr and Noble houses Greim, Ulanti,Ty, Ran Lo, Catallus and Ko'iron. These houses
however do not come into the game very often, the improtant houses in the game are the
less important ones. There are 6 of these houses and are based in Hive city, inside Hive
Primus. Hive city churns out all sorts of goods and is where the wealth of the hive comes
from.
The 6 lesser houses are Cawdor, Escher, Goliath, Van Saar, Orlock and Delaque. These houses all have distinctive dress codes and traits.
