An alliance is formed by two or more clans who formally or informally agree to support each other in various aspects of the game.
Traditionally, a formal alliance only requires the two or more participating clans to list one another as allies in writing (usually on a clan website or in a forum). An informal alliance can be established simply through the leadership of both clans mutually agreeing upon peace terms (clans are almost always initially hostile when they encounter one another in the Wilderness) and engaging in allied activities. These range from joint events such as PK trips, wars, and non-PvP events, to providing services such as ACing (Anti-Crashing) their ally's fights and taking part in intra-clan competitions.
The first alliance established by the Wilderness Guardians was with The Sabres in December 2003. Since then, WG has shared alliances with many different clans, and been a member of two syndicates comprised of multiple allied clans – The Federation and the Justice Alliance. As of July 2019, WG does not have any formal alliances. The last allies of WG were the members of the Justice Alliance (Red Blade Hunters and Vanguard) in May 2017.

Minor and Failed Alliances
Occasionally there have been attempts at alliances which either failed or did not last long enough to have any significant impact. These are:
The Royal Kingdom of Asgarnia*
| The Royal Kingdom of Asgarnia (RKoA) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| 18 September 2001 - ? | |
| Type | ARPK clan |
| Key players | unknown |
| Links | Website |
2004 – 2005
RKoA was a clan founded on 18 September 2001. They were a Federation clan offered an alliance by WG in the early days of WG history, however further details regarding the alliance and its ending are unknown, and no other surviving records of RKoA have been found. Their forum and domain (asgarnia.com) remain active as of 2025, though registration appears to be impossible and they are believed to have fallen into complete inactivity at an unknown point in time.[1]
Ryu Saikoken'i
2004
RS was a clan founded in 2004. RS was a Japanese-based ARPK clan, and RS and WG listed each other as allies during 2004.[2] Details regarding the ending of the alliance are unknown, though the last update to RS's website was on 26 May 2004.[3]
GhostKnights
| GhostKnights (GK) | |
|---|---|
 | |
| ~2004 - 4 February 2005 | |
| Type | RS2 Anti-PK clan |
| Key players | Lordkruk (Leader) D Distroyer (Leader) |
| Links | Website Archive |
~August 2004 - 31 January 2005
GK was an Anti-PK clan founded during or before 2004.[4] They held alliances with The Titans and The Synergy[5], and WG formed an alliance with them around August 2004. This lasted for around 5 months, though there is little evidence of any actual events and its productivity was often questioned.[6] However, GK leader D-Distroyer was fairly active on WG's forums and attended several PK trips.[7] He resigned from GK on 31 January 2005 for personal reasons, and ended the alliance[8] - shortly before GK closed on 4 February 2005.[9] He later applied and was accepted into WG.[10]
The RuneScape Warriors
5 August 2004 – ?
RW was a clan founded during or before 2004. Record exists of an alliance being established between WG and RW on August 5 2004[citation needed]. Further details regarding the alliance and its ending are unknown, and no other surviving records of RW have been found.
Reckoning Day
Mid-2006
RD was a clan founded in 2006. Following the severing of WG's alliance to Fear, RD proposed an alliance to WG which was accepted. However the relationship was short-lived as RD closed within a few weeks. An attempt at restarting RD was made in 2008[11], though the last record of the clan's activity was on 30 March 2009[12] and RD is presumed to have closed around this time.
Poison
6 June 2013
Poison was a clan founded in 2009. Poison was similarly sized to WG and had provided many clean and respectable fights, particularly in the early days of Old-School RuneScape - however, at least two of these fights were interfered with by Critical Damage, including WG's first war in Old-School RuneScape. In June 2013 Poison entered a crashwar (an intense form of rivalry) against CD. WG leadership considered joining the dispute which involved an alliance to Poison, but the proposal was met with a negative response from the rest of the clan. Plans for involvement in the crashwar were not executed, and the alliance was short-lived.[13] Poison closed on or around 17 May 2017.[14]
The Rising and New Blood
September 2016
TR is a clan founded in July 2007.[15] TR and its junior clan NB would have become allies of WG by way of the Justice Alliance - though TR and NB took part in discussions during the foundation of Justice, neither really responded afterwards and the alliance was short-lived. Despite having closed and reopened at least once[16], as of 2020 TR was still an active clan in Old-School RuneScape - though their current status is unknown.[17]
Zero Tolerance
22 May 2009 – 24 October 2010
Zero Tolerance (ZT) is a clan formed in early 2009. ZT was an exodus of 3v0lution_X formed by Torreoria. His Lordship was aware of 3v0's issues and supported Torreoria, resulting in the ZT warlord offering an alliance on 30 April 2009. The offer was officially accepted on 22 May.[18] The alliance lasted for over a year and was considerably successful, with ZT taking part in frequent allied PK trips, but was ended in late 2010 due to a broadening rift between the clans.[19] ZT was active in Old-School RuneScape up until at least 2020.
