What are Clans?
Clans are simply generic, player-created and player-run organisations. A clan could be:

a chess club with annual dues
a death cult
a group of performers
a family
a collective of Champions

Clans are highly customisable, and you are encouraged to use your imagination when forming them.

Basic Clan Information
Anyone may join a clan, and you may be in up to ten clans. A clan is led by
one individual, who is the undisputed leader of the clan. He cannot be
replaced unless he chooses to be.

In order to form a clan, you must go to Clan Headquarters in Delos, and have
500,000 gold in your inventory. You must know what you wish to call your clan
(you can change it later), as well as know what you wish to nickname your clan.

Clan Examples
Established clans within Achaea include:

The Dwarves of Kongol Drak
The Warriors of Sapience
Lighthawk Family of the Forest
...and hundreds more.

Forming a Clan

FORM CLAN NAMED <name1> | <alias>

	The first name can be up to 50 characters long and can be multiple words.
	The second name can be only 1 word and no longer than 15 characters. It' more like an alias, so that, for instance, instead of typing CLANHELP THE WELTSDOWN LEGACY , players can just do CLANHELP WELTSDOWN (if that's what the founder called the clan alias.
	You must separate the clan name and alias with the \| character
	You must have 500,000 gold in your inventory, and be standing in Clan Headquarters, on the isle of Delos. The 500,000 gold will be taken as the fee for clan formation.
	Upon forming the clan, you will automatically be the clan head.

Clan commands for all members

CLAN LIST
	Lists the clans you are in and what positions in those clans you hold. This will also list your "current" clan. Nearly all of the commands will work automatically on your current clan.
CLAN SWITCH <clan number or clan alias>
	When you list your clans, you will see that each is given a number. Because nearly all of the below commands will work automatically on your current clan, and because you can belong to multiple clans, there must be a way to switch which clan the commands work on. This is it.
important hint
	You do not have to use the clan switch commands to use most of the clan commands on a clan different from your current clan. Instead, you may simply make the second word of the command the clan alias or clan number. For instance, say your current clan is clan #1, and you wish to see what clan members are in clan #2. You could either do: CLAN SWITCH 2 CLAN MEMBERS or CLAN 2 MEMBERS (i.e. see the clan members for clan #2)
CLAN WHO / CLWHO / CLANWHO
	Shows what clan members are currently online.
	In a secret clan, only the clan head may use this.
CLAN MEMBERS
	Shows all the active clan members. Does not work in secret clans except for the clan head.
CLAN MEMBERS DORMANT
	Shows all dormant clan members. Does not work in secret clans except for the clan head.
CLANTELL / CLTELL / CLT
	Clan tell. In a secret clan, unless you are the clan head, you will just see "someone" instead of the person doing the clantell's name.
	You can also do the CLT <clannumber> to speak on a specific clan # in your clan list. For example, CLT5 Hi Guys
CLANTELL ON / OFF
	Turn clan channel on or off.
Clan News:
	Each clan will have a newsboard. NSTAT will list it using the clan alias.
	In a secret clan, the postings will be anonymous.
QUIT <clan name or alias>
	Quits your clan.
CLAN PAY DUES
	Pay your clan dues. Must have money in hand.
CLAN AUTOPAY DUES
	Sets you up to auto-pay your dues to your clan every new year. Will search through your bank accounts and transfer the money from the first one it finds to your clan account.
