House An (pronounced AHN) was a dynasty that, according to most histories, ruled Kintaka from Y4230* until its absorption into the growing Sangiran Empire many centuries later. The best-known member of the dynasty was Shei, who was the last monarch of independent Kintaka.

There is much disagreement as to the historical veracity of House An. They without a doubt existed and led Kintaka for many decades at least - many of their ancient ancestral tombs are still easily found around their stronghold of River's Eye - but the truthfulness of stories telling of their rapid conquests and early dominance are far less certain. In post-Sangiran Kintaka, some historians and scholars have taken a more critical eye to ancient records of the dynasty, with a suspicion they may have been written more to legitimize later monarchs than as a true account.
