Clan House
The clan house is a RuneScape house constructed using the Construction skill and used for clan events, most notably meetings and anniversary events. Historically, His Lordship's house was used for clan events and more recently on Old School RuneScape the Clan Chat house has been used. On RuneScape 3 the existence of the Citadel largely makes a clan house defunct.
His Lordship's House
The Construction skill was released to RuneScape on May 31st, 2006, which enabled players to build their own houses via portals in select locations around RuneScape. Upon release, His Lordship set to work on constructing a clan house. Within 3 days, he had hit level 70 construction, and within 5 level 85, and the clan house was ready at this point. The entire project cost between 120-200m in RuneScape gold, of which around 80m was funded by members of WildGuard. His Lordship even sold his Santa Hat for funds toward construction - at the time it was worth only 23m. Despite numerous requests, Jagex refused to allow players to visit houses while the owner was not online or inside, so the clan house is only available while His Lordship is present.
The original house is currently located in Yanille on RuneScape 3. It is structured symmetrically. A virtual tour of the clan house was made around September 2007 by His Lordship in Flash format - however, it is outdated and many modifications have since been made (such as the underground level and the Throne Room). Today, the ground level contains the majority of the house's rooms, which have their general purposes, which are as follows:
- The Throne Room
- Menangerie
- 3 formal gardens - including the portal and two posh fountains. Massing for events took place here.
- 2 portal chambers with portals to Varrock, Lumbridge and Falador (East chamber) and Camelot, Ardougne and Kharyrll/Canifis (West chamber).
- 2 studies - tablets can be made, but members cannot spot stars.
- Workshop - Armour can repaired here, and plumed items can be made.
- 2 combat rooms - with a balance beam and a combat ring.
- Chapel (Northernmost room) - includes a gilded altar and two marble burners for the highest prayer xp.
- Games Room
- Dining Room
- Kitchen
The First floor is primarily for His Lordship only, and consists of two bedrooms and a costume room. There is also an Amulet of Glory for teleports to Edgeville, Karamja, Draynor and Al Kharid. Formerly, the upstairs was known as the Upper Council Chamber - this was a restricted area, and similar to the throne room, screenshots were forbidden.
The underground level was added after the main construction stages. Designed solely for the clan, it contains a set of five dining rooms in the style of a dining hall. Each room has an opulent table with gilded benches and a marble fireplace, with oak wall decorations and bell-pulls. Events such as celebrations and Musical Chairs are held here. Previously, the southernmost room was a dungeon cage below the Throne Room, which contained a Rocnar. This was replaced with the 5th dining room on July 8th, 2010.
The Throne Room
The Throne Room was the most sacred room in the Clan House, and was one of the most important in-game locations to the clan. It was also added after the creation of the Flash tour. Many historical meetings and events have taken place in the Throne Room, and it played part in the Race to the Throne event in the 2009 Anniversary. Members must not enter the room without His Lordship's permission. Two sets of rules are strictly enforced in the Throne Room, of which punishments for violations extend as far as suspension from the clan. The rules were pinned in the Important Announcements (clan-only) forum of the WG.com boards.
The western throne is reserved for His Lordship, and the throne to his right is for the second-in-charge of the clan. Members are to take a seat or sit against the walls, and to stand and take the middle of the floor only when speaking. Pets and summoning familiars, items of Zamorak, threatening weapons and headgear which hides the character's face are banned from the Throne Room. The lever is not to be activated, unless told to by a leader. Members are also required to not dress comically (Eg. in chicken outfits) while inside the Throne Room.
Screenshots and videos of the Throne Room are also disallowed. The only available screenshot (pictured) is from the clan's Events Catalogue, and shows one of the house meetings.
Present Day
Present day usage of the clan house is much diminished for many reasons. The original clan house now exists in RS3 only and is therefore inaccessible to OSRS players. Furthermore, His Lordship is no longer active, making the house impossible to access except on a special occasion where he might log in. The majority of clan house functions on RS3 have become obsolete due to the addition of the Citadel in 2011.
On OSRS, the Clan Chat account, WG_CC, is sometimes used to host events. This provides a secure location inaccessible to enemy clans. Most OSRS Cabinet members can access the CC account, making it much easier to host events here compared to using His Lordship's account.
