At first glance, {W.U.} Westeros United is nothing more than a small niche clan for game of thrones fans, however upon further inspection one will find that it is in fact a unique community of very high quality. As if a private chat game for members along with clan forums weren’t enough, some members {W.U.} take it a step further by chatting and roleplaying on the app, LINE. Under the leadership and management of Homeless and Lady Anastasia, the {W.U.} community hosts regular private and public clan games on the popular “Westeros map”. The clan also plays in their internal clan tournaments.
The clan page, similar to {101st}’s, is direct, to the point, and cuts the often excessive bullcrap of elaborate ranks and ridiculous government hierarchies. Brief, concise, and informative; it tells the reader what the clan is all about, what it can offer members, internal tournament results, and a point of contact. On the clan page there is also a link to an informative and well-made external clan website. Most members are quite casual and a few inactive, but at the end of the day {W.U.} delivers a sense of social clan community that you will rarely find in other rp clans on Warlight. As their clan page put it best, {W.U.} is “A small, friendly, and tight knit community that shares a common passion for Game of Thrones.

The reader has probably never heard of the Mongols, but for regulars that frequent the forums, the name “Genghis” will most likely ring a bell. Genghis, the clan’s leader, is a light hearted and constant presence on the Warlight forums and has taken in several “warlight refugees” from other clans into his community. The Mongols are generally a friendly rp clan with several members regularly hosting their scenarios on open games. Like {W.U.}, the Mongols also play clan games together.
The clan page informs one the type of games that the clan plays and a point of contact, rounded off with a long paragraph on rank hierarchy. Some members of the Mongols community are inactive but for the most part the clan is made up of fairly dependable players. In addition to taking in high profile “clan refugees” from the forums the clan also recruits members by putting up recruitment games where the winner gets auto advancement into the Mongols. Despite having been around for awhile the clan has never recruited members en masse like some other rp clans and instead has focussed on interacting internally. For roleplayers who want to join a clan headed by a well-known forumer Mongols is a very nice option.
