House of Noot

"'Those who control the past control the future'""~House Noot motto"

the House of Noot is considered one of the oldest surviving houses, usually known for working closely with the House of Crimson. The House focuses on the collection and preservation of knowledge, allowing it to be preserved for further use. House Noot once had a great number of libraries, but currently only one remains located within in the primary House Noot base. It is one of the few Houses that seek to preserve the pre-Whirlwind Oreville culture.

History
It is unknown the exact date of the creation of House of Noot, but it worked closely with the more well known House of Crimson. During the events of Oreville Prime, House of Noot was absorbed by the House of Crimson due to its dwindling members. Most of this House consisted of various scribes and librarians, who collected knowledge for the House of Crimson.

During the Events of Oreville Prime:
The House of Noot had merged with the House of Crimson, with a House of Noot member acting as the Crimson Archon for many years. The House of Noot sent many expeditions to museums and libraries, to catalogue and recover important records and artifacts. They proved themselves as excellent scavengers in the field, and were helpful in the construction of the Crimson Ketch Polaris-Fel.

After the Jump
The House of Noot continued to work with the House of Crimson after the jump to Oreville II, and had brought many of the artifacts they had collected down to the surface. They lived in minor prosperity, until the time of the Great Dissension, in which the many Houses collapsed.

After the Great Dissention
After the House of Crimson scattered, the House of Noot fled with some of its vast knowledge from their Great Library, into the Wilds. The House of Noot had only a few hundred members during this era, led under the Kell Etravyks, who commissioned The Chronicon. After many changes in leadership, one of the Last surviving House members rose to power, and settled in a small settlement, hiding his House's banner.

During the Events of Oreville
The Kell of House Noot eventually revealed his House banners to the Citizens of Oreville, which led to the resurgence of House politics. The Noot-Kell was influential within the town, opening a restaurant, a Library, a prison, and various other amenities. The House of Noot worked closely with the House of Exile, which were a group of Outlanders cured from a necrotic virus. The House of Noot also saw itself becoming a military force, as it helped defend the town from Invaders on several occasions, as well as employing its own Private Army to defend areas of the town. The House of Noot was also responsible for the creation of the newer settlements of Noot Vegas and Noot York City.

The House of Noot actively searches through Kur for knowledge, fequently cooperating with the punished.

The House of Noot participated in the Campaign to slay the Warden, but was not the one to make the final blow. This may debunk the Chronicon as an unreliable source.

Artifacts
The House of Noot collects many weapons of historical value, such as:


 * The Moon's Tear (sword passed down from Kell-to-Kell, possibly made before the Jump.)
 * The Noot Vegas Special (a weapon created during the founding of Noot Vegas, firing 3 explosive projectiles)
 * The Queenbreaker (Weapon passed down from a legendary Kings archon)
 * Jaco's Lament ( Cursed Bow recovered from the Corpse of Jaco, rewielded)

And many artifacts, such as:


 * Jaco's Cursed Tools
 * Warden's Crystal
 * True Order Banner
 * Silvius' Legion Banner
 * Many, many books.
