The three main clans in Pendle are the Malkins, the Deanes and the Mouldheels. But there are also lesser clans including the Hewitts, Ogdens, Nutters and the Preesalls. Witches often migrate to places that are a source of power and have the right ambience for performing dark magic. It was the brooding presence of Pendle itself that drew the clans to that area.
