'''Clans''' bring multiple [[Dynasties]] together beneath a shared organisation. In the current hierarchy they sit between Dynasties and [[Bloodlines]]. A Clan may therefore include Houses, Packs, Covens, Orders, or a combination of those Dynasty types.

__TOC__

== Leadership and membership ==

The existing hierarchy guide describes the Clan leader as the '''Sovereign''', with a possible '''Co-Sovereign''', followed by Ambassador and Proxy roles. Current game-site Clan profiles display their available leadership and the Dynasties associated with the Clan.

== Rankings and profiles ==

Signed-in players can browse [https://descendantsofdarkness.com/clans Clan Rankings] on the game website. Clan profiles can show leadership, member and Dynasty totals, bloodline relationships, descriptive material, and activity information.

Weekly and lifetime scoring are explained in [[Dynasty and Clan Activity Scores]].

== Legacy requirements awaiting verification ==

<blockquote>
'''Unverified legacy information:''' The older hierarchy guide described approximately 25 active members, at least two member organisations, and a L$20,000 creation fee. It also linked a [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf49QRpPqZKhS6ve9X4_rH7ie-agoDd5xR2iV9BqBARSXHb8A/viewform Clan Application Form]. These requirements were not confirmed by current documentation during the 2026 audit and should be treated as historical until the game owner verifies them.
