d100 Dread Family Secrets

This could be used for the clan that built a haunted house or castle, or even for any wealthy characters. Good for NPCs and red herrings too. Higher the status the more horrible secrets. Adventure hooks aplenty. Could tempt with roll on table for new characters or offer them a starting magic item or higher status for a roll. Some could be secret shames, others public possibly untrue rumours. Most families in Shadelport have dodgy pasts. That's why many clans moved here from empire. Some try to blackmail clans but with most being at least a bit evil that is a dangerous act.

1 roll for wealthy gentry or townsfolk clan
1d3 rolls for landed nobility
1d3+2 rolls for lesser royal family
