House Ch』oosh’marah was one of the noble houses of Haraf, also known as the Haraf'ne Kinah. It was located in the northern parts of Haraf, on the stretches of land forming the border with the Desert of the Haraf. The Kinah was formed in 342 after a tribe of sandworm hunters united their area through pure military might, taking advantage of the scarce population of the region. Initially, the Kinah was of lesser influence, mostly due to their relatively low population and poor land. However, after trade opened up from the unification of the First Kinah Federation, the worm carcasses left from their grand hunts would turn out to be a very profitable market for the Kinah. The ruling dynasty, with their newfound wealth, would become rather opulent, ordering magnificent clothing and organizing grand feasts. Today, House Ch』oosh’marah is mostly remembered for its extravagance and impressive trade network, rather than their warrior culture. It would eventually fall out of favor after the discovery of worm-taming in 857, with the worm riders of House Leeti』haàt officially taking their place as the desert-dwelling Great Kinah in 913.
