ClansAllied players who raise their own halls, keep their own ranks, and sometimes go to war.

Clans are a collection of players who are allied together. Most clans have built their own clan-houses, where only members of the clan are allowed. The wealthy clans can hire alchemists, blacksmiths, and the like to make life easier for their members.

Occasionally, but not often, the clans go to war on one another. Unlike ordinary players, clan members are allowed to kill the members of the clan they are at war with — something otherwise strictly forbidden on Tera. Thus clans give the realm a structured way for those who wish it to player-kill one another, while those who do not can stay out of it.

Anyone may start a clan, but it is quite expensive in both gold and experience.
