☙ [This wonderful banner was made by -` percy ´- .✫ 🌊 ! Thank you so much!] A wintry wind pushes it's way through the desolate highlands, emitting a high keening sound as it wreathed between the crags of the faraway Cynffon Sarf. This sound has been described as unearthly and unsettling by most, but to you, a warrior of the native HeathClan, it is the song of your homeland. All of this is familiar to you, and you would die to protect every pawstep of it. From the mountains of Cynffon Sarf to the haunting landscape of the Hen Graith, it is the land of your clan and the land of your heart.
But for how long will it remain your home?
HeathClan is a Claim-a-Cat clan that is based in the Welsh moorlands. We're looking for neighbors, if you're willing. If interested, PM me with your clan's link, and perhaps we can work out an introduction for them.

☙ Clan Nature
The cats of HeathClan are rumored to be fearless in battle and as swift as the north wind. Naturally, no two cats are exactly the same, so there's a little more diversity than meets the eye. Typically, clanborn members of HeathClan are stout, muscular cats with long fur and tough paws. This helps them to traverse the chilly and rocky landscape of the moor they call home. They hold great faith in their ancestors, the cats of StarClan, and are a particularly insular clan, wary of outsiders.
Rules- Forum Rules -- Members of HeathClan must follow the official rules of the forums. If you're unfamiliar with these, you can find them listed here.
- Spam and Outside Advertising -- This is not a chatroom, nor is it an advertising board. While members can chat OOC'ly, I'd still like more than page after page of chatting. As far as advertising goes, if you want to be an allied clan, I'd prefer for you to message me about it.
- Theft -- I worked hard on creating this clan, typing everything out, and making the map. Please don't take any of it and claim it as your own. That's...extremely not cool.
- Story -- If you have an idea for a plot, whether it's big or small, share it! We can work out how it could go down, and who is involved.
- Ability -- I would appreciate it if each member gave a minimum of 3 lines of text per post, and used the best spelling and punctuation that they know. Please don't use asterisks (*) around actions, and separate OOC comments by using brackets or parentheses.
- Characters -- Although this is a claim-a-cat roleplay, these characters will basically be blank slates until you claim them and play them. Make them yours! Do not, however, make them one-sided or perfect. I'd prefer if each member claimed two cats minimum, a tom and a she-cat. I will make plenty of both, and if you want to suggest more, PM me! Apprentice to warrior names are subject to whoever is the leader at the time, although suggestions can be made over PM.
- Activity -- I'm going to be totally honest with you. I work a 40 hour a week job, and I am currently writing a story and hoping to go to college. I won't be the most active person ever, and I don't expect you to put your life on hold for this place either. But if you could make an effort to be on at least twice a week, I would appreciate it.
- RP Profiles -- I'd like if you used them, but if you don't want to, I swear I'm not going to teleport through the computer and threaten you or anything.

☙ This map was made by me, on the online mapmaker, Inkarnate
HeathClan territory rests on a moor in the Welsh highlands. It is mostly grasslands, with a forest and mountains, as well as Twoleg buildings dotting the landscape.
- Castell Ucheldir (Highland Castle) - An abandoned Twoleg tower, northeast of Llyn Seren, serves as HeathClan's camp. It has been untouched by Twolegs for as long as any living member of HeathClan can remember. The leader's den is in the room at the top of the tower, then the junior warriors, queens, and apprentices live on the next floor, and then the elders, senior warriors, and medicine cat live on the bottom floor. This gives the easiest access to the weakest cats, protected by the most experienced warriors.
- Sydyn Mawr (Big Starfall) - This is the largest river, leading out of Llyn Seren, to the south of Castell Ucheldir. It received its name from the numerous waterfalls leading down the uneven terrain, as well as the way the stars seem to be caught in its waters. The Sydyn Mawr is known for its swift waters, and only warriors and older apprentices are allowed to swim in it.
- Llyn Seren (Star Lake) - In the middle of HeathClan's territory lies a massive lake. The cats of HeathClan named the lake for its crystal clear waters, which appear to capture the warriors of StarClan on their surface. The shallows of the lake are much calmer than the rivers leading in or out, and it is often used as a safe water source, as well as a place to swim on the rare occasions that it is warm outside.
- Pren Unigol (Solitary Woods) - The only living forest of trees on HeathClan's moor, it is used to find moss and feathers for bedding, herbs for healing, and land prey to eat. The Pren Unigol is located to the northwest of Castell Ucheldir.
- Bach Seren (Little Star) - The waters of Llyn Seren are fed by the waters of the Bach Seren. The smaller of the two rivers on HeathClan's land comes from an underground river, deep beneath the Cynffon Sarf. Cats must cross the Bach Seren to reach the caves of Ceg y Sarf, or any of HeathClan's western lands. Thankfully, it is more gentle than the waters of the Sydyn Mawr.
- Cynffon Sarf (Serpent's Tail) - The mountains of the Cynffon Sarf are said to be the remains of the long-dead serpent that our ancestors slew. Apprentices must reach the peaks of the mountains before they are allowed to be named as a warrior. It also holds the entrance to the Ceg y Sarf. It is located to the northwest of Castell Ucheldir.
- Ceg y Sarf (Serpent's Maw) - A cave that snakes deep beneath the remains of the Cynffon Sarf. At the end of the dark tunnels, medicine cats and leaders alone will witness the origin of the Bach Seren. After drinking its waters, they will lay down to converse with the cats of StarClan.
- Hen Gerrig (Old Stones) - No one really knows the origins of the Hen Gerrig, much like they don't know how our own Castell came to be. Prey can be found in the rubble, but so can danger. Rogues are often known to make camp here and cause trouble for the HeathClan warriors.
- Hen Graith (Old Scar) - A terrible wound on the landscape, the land here is all burnt and grey, and the trees are merely burnt out husks of their former selves. Many believe these woods to be haunted, and there's not much reason to go there, as there is no prey. But if you wished to speak with someone alone...
- Mole Tunnels - A set of tunnels dug by a mole, northeast of Hen Gerrig. These tunnels were found by Honeypaw and Murkpaw on an exploration mission.
- Twoleg Place - Kittypets and Loners will visit from the Twoleg homes every once in a while. Not much can be said about it, other than most are warned to stay away.
Creatures Other Than Cats
More animals than cats live on the moors. Some are predators, some are prey. Some are neither.
Predators:
Dogs - Twolegs occasionally bring their dogs onto the moorland. They herd sheep, bark, chase cats, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Very dangerous, and relatively common. Badgers - Much less common than dogs, although more dangerous, are the badgers. They'll set themselves up in random places on the moor, and are very difficult for less than a full patrol of trained warriors to chase off. Foxes - Foxes are very common, although they generally don't stick around for long. Patrols of warriors and older apprentices are encouraged to chase them off before they cause a problem, however. Birds of Prey - Hawks and Eagles aren't very common, but they have been known to swoop down and snatch a smaller apprentice, or even a kit that evades the wary eyes of their mothers. Twolegs - Very rarely, a Twoleg will be seen, and they may try to take a member of HeathClan from the moor with them. Infinitely dangerous, as they have been known to be impossible to chase off.
Woodland Prey:
Squirrels, rabbits, mice, and birds may be found in the Pren Unigol, and all of them are fairly common. Squirrels are a bit harder to catch, however, due to their tendency to climb up the slippery pine and elm trees in the woods.
Moorland Prey:
Mostly hares, but some mice have been known to wander out into the open moor, and voles and fish are often found near or in the lake and rivers. A few lucky cats have managed to catch an eagle or a hawk when it dives down to catch its own dinner.
Neutral Animals:
Sheep, Horses, and Cows aren't interested in killing cats, but they don't make for good food, either. The same goes for the deer that wander the moor.
Clan Stories
The Stories of HeathClan post is ever expanding and changing, and will probably be added whenever a cat tells a story. This section is meant to be pretty interactive to the clan.

[Okay, so how about...Rookstar and Goosefeather are out hunting, Mousekit and Cloudkit are either playing with one another, or trying to get a story out of Milkpatch and Branchtail, and Honeypaw and Murkpaw are hunting, working on battle moves, or exploring the moors with each other?]

Rookstar --> Goosefeather { Sparkly } || Pren Unigol
In the early-morning mist that routinely coated the moor, two figures wove through the trees that made up the Pren Unigol, or Solitary Woods. As much as the she-cat enjoyed the burst of excitement that came from a run on the moor, she had to admit that her daughter's idea to hunt in the woods was an excellent one. The wind that whistled through the empty highlands hadn't had a chance to wash away the fog here, and the canopy of limbs gave a small amount of protection from the persistent drizzle that had started somewhere around moonhigh.
Along with that train of thought, the fog provided excellent cover from anything the pair might catch. The grey pelts of the two she-cats melded with the grey air, which was a horrible bit of luck for the squirrels, mice, and birds that might not yet be awake enough to evade them.
With this in mind, a scent finally drifted across the air, and the older cat stopped, her muscles instinctively bunching into a crouch. A small nod of her head was given to Goosefeather, in an attempt to alert her to their prey: a nest of mice, some babies and some adults, all perfect pickings for a morning's hunt.
Murkpaw --> Honeypaw {𝓢𝓹𝓞𝓞𝓴𝓨 𝓢𝓹𝓐𝓻𝓚ℒ𝔂} || Somewhere West of Llyn Seren
"Hey, Honeypaw, what do you think might've dug this?"
Meanwhile, further away from the safety of Castell Ucheldir, two apprentices were on a patrol of their own, although it might not have been sanctioned. Murkpaw sneezed as a drop of rain fell on his nose, then quickly flicked his whiskers in an attempt to clear the gathering droplets. His bright orange eyes gazed in the direction of the elder apprentice as if he were asking for her explanation. While Honeypaw was only two moons older than the skinny black tom, he still followed her as if she were his mentor, not Stoatfoot.

Rookstar --> Goosefeather { Sparkly } || Pren Unigol
Rookstar was the first to strike, and her body uncoiled as she darted forward. One paw swept into the area where the suspected mouse nest was, catching one of the mice with a paw as the others scampered towards Goosefeather. A quick bite dispatched the rodent in her paw, and she lunged after another one, the small horde of mice now somewhat effectively trapped beneath she and her daughter. One or two had the good sense to run to either side, but for the majority of the...six or seven mice that had been there, it was easy pickings for the pair.
Murkpaw --> Honeypaw {Spooky Sparkly} || Somewhere West of Llyn Seren
"Dunno. Doesn't smell like a fox, and it's too small to be a badger set." The thin black tom sniffed the opening of the hole in the ground, his brow furrowed curiously. Murkpaw had been acquainted with the stench of fox only a few sunrises before when he had taken part on a dawn patrol that chased one off. This did not smell like a fox, and it didn't look big enough to be a badger set, either.
He looked up again, mischief in his eyes. "Maybe the old Serpent is digging his way back from under the mountains, and we're all going to have to do battle with 'im again, aye?" He teased, and he crouched down low to the ground to make his best attempt at snake noises towards his denmate, whiskers twitching in amusement.
