Legend of the Beads of SWC
There have been many traditions of SWC. One of these have been awarding Beads for Achievements and Participation in SWC Events, Games and Roles. Over the year there has not been consistent use over what bead colors mean what. Over recent years, we have attempted to standardize this tradition. As you gaze at a SWC Necklace, you can begin to realize what the Beads stand for based on the following. Just understand, this standard has not been long enforced and you may see weird colored beads that were given out in some years past.
