## Overview
**Clans** are Kingdom-run organizations that provide free stat bonuses to adventurers. Unlike guilds, clans do not participate in War of Emperium (WoE), making them perfect for players who want stat bonuses without guild commitments.
***
## Benefits
* **Free stat bonuses** - Each clan provides different stat bonuses suited to specific playstyles
* **No WoE obligations** - Clans cannot participate in WoE, so you're free from siege schedules
* **Easy to join/leave** - Join and leave anytime without restrictions
* **Social connections** - Chat with fellow clan members and share information
