Like the House of Hoten the House's lands are desert to the south and steppes to the north. They share in the same beliefs as the House of Hoten but unlike their neighbours they also believe that two of the local gods, Brandruss and Maroe, promoted male and female prostitution respectively.
Prostitution is banned under the kings law but the Nome make an exception at their citadel in Barabow. Where all over 16 must serve at least six months working at the brothel. This work is seen as an act of holy devotion. One must learn acceptance, accepting all and turning away none (expect those who cannot afford to pay).
