Fictional clans are groups of characters or beings that often share common traits, values, or goals within a story. These clans can be found in various genres, including fantasy, science fiction, and horror. They typically have unique customs, traditions, and sometimes even special abilities that set them apart from other groups in the narrative. In many stories, fictional clans play a crucial role in the plot, influencing character development and conflicts. They may represent themes such as loyalty, family, or rivalry. Examples of well-known fictional clans include the House Stark from Game of Thrones and the Hogwarts Houses from Harry Potter.
