Introduction
Each Clan and House has a history and power all their own, brought about and manipulated by personal and unit interests, as well as the forces that have acted upon the Clans and Houses. These "Schools," sometimes referred to as "Clan/House Powers," are secrets jealously guarded by each Clan and House. Those who have mastered the secrets through time and training are given abilities that are generally not mimicked by any other darksider outside of their respective unit. Those who either leave their Clan or House, or are expelled from it, are denied those abilities through various rituals that strip the secrets from these cast out members. Members who only leave their home unit to pursue a position on the Dark Council generally are permitted to retain their former Clan or House's esoteric information. Grand Masters, being above Order or Clan affiliations, have such a deep understanding of the Force that no Force Abilities are closed to them.
