Noccine

House Noccine is one of the ancient families of Ander, who at one time took the Hotham Creed along with House Lintreed, Bel'Tasq, and Revin, but pledged their loyalty to the Kingdom of Ander during the late portion of the third era.

House Noccine is one of the least popular of houses, rumored to have ties to the Midnight Syndicate and to the Hand of Halmar, though the past kings of Ander, and now Barce, have dismissed those accusations.

What is not doubted is their unusual effectiveness at maintaining their noble status and position on the Golden Council, as well as their ability to reveal and expose plots of assassination and scandal among the nobles of the Golden Council.

Recently, House Noccine had worked to block House Erket to be elevated to provisional noble status, but the motion failed due to House Lintreed's endorsement of a new house to take a seat on the Golden Council since House Revin fell from noble status.
