Ilvermorny House Theme - Stamping Guide
Ilvermorny Houses: General Guide
Welcome to the Ilvermorny House stamping guide! A few things to keep in mind while you are stamping:
Hogwarts vs. Ilvermorny
• The Hogwarts houses sort by personality traits - brave, loyal, wise, and cunning
• Ilvermorny houses sort by what you DO with your personality traits - the adventurer, warrior, scholar, and healer.
• Therefore, not every Hufflepuff is a Pukwudgie, for example.
Example of differentiating between Hogwarts & Ilvermorny Houses:
A Gryffindor Wampus fights to defend themselves/others
A Hufflepuff Wampus fights because it's the right thing to do
A Ravenclaw Wampus fights because it's wise
A Slytherin Wampus fights to promote themselves or their family
