Clans
Clans are a group of players following a common theme or goal and are a very important part of Aardwolf. Clans have many features not commonly found among other worlds: their own donation, healing, jail, and recall rooms; separate bank accounts into which members can deposit gold and quest points; optional tax rates to raise income from their members; clan-only skills and spells; clan morgues, where members' corpses go upon death; clan equipment, including armor, potions, and transporters; clan guards and mazes; and exits to some of the harder or more distant places in the mud to reach.
Each clan has specific requirements for joining, promotions, and remaining in that clan. These are decided upon by the clan when it is created, but may change slightly over time. To see these requirements, type 'help <clan shortname>' (ie 'help doh'). Another good resource is to type 'claninfo <shortname>' and follow the link listed in the Web Page field at the bottom. You can find these shortnames and a list of the current clans by typing <clist> ingame.
There are currently 34 player clans on Aardwolf.

Joining a clan is not something to be undertaken lightly; once in a clan, the only way to leave is to become an outcast (see 'help outcast').
Players that decide they will never want to be part of a clan can choose to become a loner (see 'help loner'). Players that want to join a clan without having to deal with PK life can seek out NoPK clans. These are indicated by a Y in the NoPK column in clist. More information on NoPK clans can be found in 'help nopk'.
The immortals of Aardwolf also comprise a special clan, The Wolf Administration.
