House of Snow

"'From the stars we came, to the stars we rise.'"The House of Snow is a now-defunct House on Oreville Prime. The House consisted of the top minds, dealing with science and technology. Most of them escaped into space during the Whirlwind, attempting to flee in Ketches and Skiffs. They did not survive the trip. You can see the remains of their ships and space stations floating within the graveyard reef.

Before the Whirlwind
The House of Snow was one of the more prominent Houses, often having secure research facilities studying different aspects of the Prime system. They were responsible for many of the technological innovations seen on Oreville Prime, constantly developing new and exciting technology. It was common for other Houses to approach the House of Snow in order to contract them into developing House-Specific technology (such as weapons for the House of Blades). Snow Researchers are responsible for the creation of Servitor technology as well as Skiffs and Ketches.

The House of Snow was one of the few Houses that had stretched across almost the entirety of the system, along with the House of Blades, having various research outposts.

House of Fog
The House of Fog was created from a rogue splinter group of the House of Snow located on Ares. This subsection disobeyed their Kell’s orders to flee the system, instead residing within their small underground outpost. They were later found by the House of Crimson, and integrated into their ranks. The House of Fog survived the Jump, and are considered the successors to the House of Snow.

The Star-Lost
The Kings Baroness was assigned by the Council to oversee operations within the House of Snow, and toured Their facilities both on and offworld.

Two members of the House of Snow survived the initial calamity of the Whirlwind, traveling the cosmos with the Star-Lost. Only one of them would survive to reach Oreville II.

Project Hecate
The House of Snow was involved in Project Hecate, and are responsible for the creation of the H.o.u.s.e AI.

Technology
The House of Snow was responsible for the creation and maintenance of such technology as:


 * Computers and artificial intelligence
 * aeronautics
 * bioscience
 * chemicals with extraordinary properties
 * powerful weapons

the only known surviving member of the House of Snow is the Servitor Skeliks-13, who travelled with a House or Kings Baroness
