House Wiseaufang

Founder: Wanda Wiseaufang

Wiseaufang is the largest House of the occult and occult studies. They are the potion masters, herbalists and alchemists of the magical world. Wiseaufang wizards and scholars become the keepers of apothecaries or magnificent teachers, healers and shaman. A giant cauldron full of poisonous herbs boils in the dungeon of the Wiseaufang keep. When stirred sequentially and correctly with a specific wooden spoon, the brew becomes a knowledge potion granting wisdom beyond compare.

The Wiseaufang clan deem themselves the greatest of the conjurers. Confident, headstrong, and opinionated, these conjurers can often seem indolent and unconcerned with the difficulties of others. They are rarely inclined to think their way around any obstacle or foe that can be more simply be hammered down with the right application of summoned power. The magical cauldrons and enchanted spoons used by the conjurers can fetch a healthy bit of coin on the open and black markets.

The clan chooses to live in places of ethereal beauty, in stone towers amid ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and alchemic fragrances waft on the breeze. They also prefer to live in these isolated frontiers or wilderness areas because of their lack of interest in associating with those they deem beneath them and to practice the most dangerous aspects of their craft without worrying about the neighbors complaining or being eaten.

Most of these conjurers view the other Houses with disdain. Though they can appear to be aloof and uncaring from first glance, they have a deep love of nature and magic, art and artistry, music, and poetry. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring or learning a new skill or art, the Wiseaufang are focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance. The Tommywalkers are important to Wiseaufang clan because every part of them can be used beneficially in a potion or elixir. When mixed correctly, these mixtures become the most powerful variety of material component. Thousands of the creatures used to thrive in the lands where the castle stands. Some wizards, in years past, started to poach the tømmywälkers to use for personal gain. Because of this, no more than a few dozen remain. Those that remain are heavily guarded by protection and veiling spells.
