Slytherin: Clan Snape

 Snape

"always"

Sigil: the lily and doe, silver on black

Skills: Potions (expert) | Curses (basic) | Herbology (basic) | Stealth (basic)

+1 Courage


The Snapes are a small and rather poor clan, but all know them as bitter enemies of the One Enemy - indeed, their family words "always" are said to be a reference to how long the Snapes intend to oppose Him. Their seat is at Spinner’s End, where they own a watermill built into the brick ruins of an old pre-war muggle mechanical one.

Slytherin: Clan Slughorn

 Slughorn

"family, duty, honor"

Sigil: the horn and sun, gold on plum

Skills: Potions (experted) | Transfiguration (advanced) | Courtesy (basic) | Herbology (basic)


A wealthy, well-liked, and well-connected family, the Slughorns are related to most prominent wizarding families by bonds of blood or business. Though the Slughorns fight more wars with quill and ink than with wand or blade, clan Slughorn has always known that there can be no rapprochement with He Who Must Not Be Named.

Slytherin: Clan Moody

 Moody

"constant vigilance"

expect the unexpected!

Sigil: the eye and claw, green and gold on red

Skills: Curses (expert) | Potions (advanced) | Transfiguration (basic) | Stealth (basic)

The Moodies have long studied the arts of the Enemy in order to better combat them. They have a reputation for hardness, even cruelty, but it is universally acknowledged that their courage and conviction is second to none. The family is small, grim, and strict, with few dependents, but their dim halls are full of the honors and battle-trophies won by generations of Moodies.

Slytherin: Clan Rookwood

 Rookwood

"even death may die"

Sigil: three triangular eyes, gold on black

Skills: Devices (expert) | Stealth (advanced) | Curses (basic) | Divination (basic)

+1 Shadow


Though the ruins of Azkaban have long been abandoned to the dementors, the head of Clan Rookwood still holds the title of Warden of the Isle. From their coastal fortress the clan keeps watch against the horrors of that blasted island prison - a dangerous and thankless task, for no Lord Warden has yet died a natural death.

The sullen, salt-stained folk who owe fealty to the Rookwoods claim that Rookwood blood runs to madness, born of gazing too long upon things not meant to be seen, and strange tales tell of madmen and worse things kept chained for long generations in the family dungeons.

Slytherin: Clan Crabbe

 Crabbe

"honor to serve"

Sigil: a mailed fist crushing a serpent, black and green

Skills: Fighting (expert) | Athletics (advanced) | Curses (basic) 

+1 to Strength

The Crabbes have a reputation for brutality, having served Clan Malfoy for generations. In their secret ceremonies, however, the Crabbes recall that they once served a power older and greater than the Malfoys, and that they may do so again one day. 

Slytherin: Clan Malfoy

 Malfoy

"blood and honor"

Sigil: the Malfoy dragon, silver on green.

Skills: Courtesy (advanced) | Curses (advanced) | Fighting (basic) | Devices (basic) | Potions (basic)

+1 Shadow


Though one of the oldest wizarding families, and undoubtedly the richest, the folk of Malfoy Manor have seen better days. That venerable house, opulent and imperial, saw many dark deeds committed during its occupation by the Dark Lord in the time of the Great War. A shadow of evil seems to have seeped into the stones of the Manor, and tragedy haunts its noble heirs to this day.

Night-Haunted Hogwarts: House Slytherin

 


SLYTHERIN

 

House Modifier: +1 Cunning

 

Inspired ActionCunning Folk

The Slytherin ethos prizes acts of great cunning, resourcefulness, determination, and revenge. You can spend Inspiration to make any roll involving Cunning (or which the Referee agrees demonstrates the positive side of the Slytherin spirit) Safe.

 

FlawAmbitious

House Slytherin's values are well adapted to this violent and insular age, but malice, self-preservation, and pride may still meet their just desserts. You can make any roll involving Cunning (or which the Referee agrees demonstrates the negative side of the Slytherin spirit) Deadly. When you do, gain Inspiration.
