A vast forest stretches far ahead, with hazy forms of mountains in the distance. Tall pines, many ancients who have grown for hundreds of years there, populate most of the greenery, surrounding a shimmering lake which reflected all the beauty around it. This is PineClan land, filled with the scents of pine needles, and trilling with the sounds of birds.
PineClan was founded many generations ago by a former kittypet named Tomas, who loved the pine forests outside his twolegplace. After he was, by mistake, transported by train to a strange city, and forced to fend for himself, he began to have dreams of shimmering cats who told him to look for the pines again. He searched until he reached wilderness, gathering with him many cats on his journey, telling them to help him in his search.
There, they met their first foe, a vicious tyrant cat formerly of a long disbanded clan. He had been ruling over the forest cats for generations and was very old, but very cunning. Tomas and his friends faced him off, defending the innocents from his tyranny and, ultimately, defeating this foe and his minions. Afterwards Tomas learned of clans, and their ways, and realized his starry dreams were of StarClan. Thinking of the pines he loved, he called himself Pinestar, and founded PineClan.
Now, it is many, many generations since then, but the descendants of the tyrant ruler, now known only as Timberstar, never quite left. They banded in the northern edge of the forest to form TimberClan. These cats in their own way were not evil, but they never quite forgot their original battles with early PineClan.
That being said, a new ruler came to power in TimberClan, after many disputes over the years. This was Sunstar, a very powerful cat, who decided TimberClan should reclaim PineClans' territory, feeling it was rightfully TimberClan's. After seasons of battle, Sunstar succeeded. PineClan has been forced to leave their home, following a new trail of pines to a new territory suited to their way of life.

PineClan is made up of many different cats, allowing outsiders to join often giving them diverse looks. However, a lot of PineClan are large and fluffy, leaning to the taller side as more pure blooded PineClan cats have Norwegian forest cat or Maine Coon blood in their veins. The cats are trained for forest hunting for the most part, with a select few training in the water in case fish is needed for their survival, although overall PineClan does not swim all too often. They have a few unique traditions developed through the course of their existence, which you can read about in the "Clan Information" section.
PineClan originally bordered TimberClan. However, they have recently been given only a short time to flee their home, overpowered by TimberClan's forces. However, they have hope. They are following the pines, as StarClan told them long ago, to a new territory, the path leading into the unknown.
