ELF CLAN INFORMATON

 

THIS SITE HAS BEEN RE-ESTABLISHED AT http://elfclan.org

The new site is currently under construction.   Thank you for your patience.  The information here will remain until the new site is built.

 

 

Elf Clan is one of the oldest and largest virtual world fantasy groups.  We feature the genres of fantasy, science fiction, steampunk and "tiny" worlds on 130+ regions.  On this site you will find our Charter, information on using virtual worlds, and classic Elf Clan stories and articles.  

 

PLEASE NOTE:   Due to technical limitations of the server, this website does not accept membership requests.   The purpose of this site is to provide current and historical information.

 

Many articles on this website are considerably out of date and are present here solely for historic and documentation purposes. To join Elf Clan, please do so on Second Life or DigiWorldz grids.
