Clans of Underworld Dreams

We like to think that Underworld Dreams has a rather unique take on clans. On many muds, clans are predefined entities, or require the acquiescence of an immortal to create. They also require the immortals or the clan leaders building a customized clan hall, etc, etc. Not here. Underworld Dreams sports an original system which does not require, an indeed, even discourages immortal intervention in the affairs of mortals.

The system goes, briefly, as follows. Characters (although only Legends are likely to hold one) can fight their way to the center of an unclaimed clanhall, and once at its altar, can spend 5 million gold coins to create a clan with a name of their choosing. They now have a one-member clan and clanhall, since upon being founded, the guards and equipment in the clanhall immediately becomes owned by that clan. Warlords of this clan (including the founder) may invite, promote, demote, and outcast new members into their clan.

However, things are not quite that simple. When a player kills a clanguard or sacrifices a clan object (and is not a member of that clan), the clanhall loses some of its funds. When a clan's funds drop below zero, the clan disintegrates, its stats are erased from the game, and the clanhall is now open for another potential warlord's plunder. Members of a clan can, however, tribute gold to their clan, increasing the power of its guards and equipment, thereby increasing the clan's power and adding to its defense at the same time. Wars and constant strife ensue as clans battle desperately to maintain footholds in the world and strive to become the most powerful force in the realms.

A variety of statistics are maintained on each active clan, most of which are viewable to all players, or if not at least the warlords of the clan, including: The founder of the clan and the roster of the clan for each rank; the clanhall and its status; the enemies and allies of the clan; the total pkills and pdeaths by and of members of the clan. Clans represent one of the final frontiers of the game, representing in a robust system the hierarchy of power and wealth within Underworld Dreams.

The Seventh Age
The seventh age began when the historian finally deigned to listen to the pleas of the masses, who wished to see how the ages of the clans had unfolded.

The Sixth Age
Little is recorded or remembered of the Sixth Age of the clan, mostly because the only historian (Drey) grew tired of the swift, rapid changes that happened during this time. No clans fell to external forces but many changed from within. Some of the clans that are known to have existed during that time were:

The Fifth Age
The clans entered a dark time of betrayal, war, treachery, underhanded dealings, ennui, urban renewal, legend boredom, and the slow heat death of the Universe. Numerous clans rose and fell during this dark time and in the end only one remained -- Eclipse. Which, considering what a dark time this was, it only figures.

The Fourth Age
For a time Mistasha, warlord of Thorn, had been absent with only a few of her clan mates appearing as well but still her clan stood, a symbol of chivalry among the wastes that are Underworld Dreams. When she finally appeared again after a long absence it was to perform a stunning move -- she disbanded her clan! Her reasons, as stated, were that since others felt clans were just to be destroyed and not to promote ideals, she wanted no part of it. Thorn gone, Castle Spectre empty, she departed.

The Third Age
Under Mistwalker's hand Maelstrom grew prosperous and a sister clan, Thorn, was formed to push the ideals of courteousness and chivalry. Caravan's members slowly trinkled away until no one from their halls ever set foot here. Then a group of malcontents formed as Malfeasance, under the leadership of Azrael, and made numerous verbal attacks on Maelstrom's warlord, Mistwalker.

Something stirred in Mistwalker and he stepped away from the clan he formed. The new council of warlords disbanded it and formed Reckoning. Within a night Malfeasance was swept from the world but it was a hollow victory, as they had deliberately left their hall unguarded.

The History of Clans on UD
The history of clans on Underworld Dreams is a long and sordid affair, and requires more time than I have right now to do it justice. So, check back here for updates! (Approximately never or as Bela and Kheldar feel up to it).

Past clans of Underworld Dreams (roughly chronological):
[Dead Souls]
 founded by Flea 
[Anime]
 founded by ??? 
[Vengence]
 founded by Crow 
[Bladed Moon]
 founded by Clown 
[Blue Rose]
 founded by Gandalf and Lag 
[Freak Buddhas]
 founded by Taliv 
[Corinthian]
 founded by Luca and Sherekan 
[Voodoo Children]
 founded by Macavity 
[Bloody Squirrels]
 founded by Roland

A more detailed history will be eventually forthcoming never happen. Drey doesn't know it and the Imms who do are growing old, getting senile, and never log on anymore anyhow.
