It's a bitter leaf-bare, isn't it? The winds whip past your ears, chill you through your pelt. Your paws are starting to numb. You've been traveling for many days, trying to make your way through the thick forests, towering cliffs and jagged stone passes. While the mountain valleys provide temporary relief, they do not protect you from the brutal cold. You're becoming weaker by the day. The longer you wander, the closer you are to collapsing.
And you almost do collapse.
You reach a large cavern, as the winds begin to carry snow through the dark and thick woodlands around you. The cavern is a refuge. You're so exhausted that you fail to notice the scent of cat drifting in the wind. You march into the cavern and fall down, shivering and weary. You hate to think this will be your last adventure. You almost give into the comforting darkness of sleep, before suddenly you see sharp blue eyes staring down at you. In the cavern, it's hard to see this other cat, but you know it's a cat.
You are too tired to flee, and too cold to waste your remaining energy. You hope this cat makes it quick and painless. But soon, you blink. The cat has done nothing to you. Instead, a tom's voice comes from the cat staring at you.
"My. It seems you've been on quite the journey. It's a good thing you're far too weak to pose a threat...Don't worry, traveler. We will extend kindness to you, but do not take this lightly." He pads closer, and you can start to see his dusky tabby coat, as well as the eyes of other cats peering from the cave.
"Welcome to Cavernclan." Cavernclan was founded many moons ago by a traveling pair of sisters. These two she-cats, by the names of Crystal and Stone, had wandered away from the twoleg properties where they were born, seeking out adventure and freedom. As they traveled, they reached a large mountain range. At first, the sisters were reluctant to attempt to navigate through the terrain, but courage and curiosity drove them forwards. As they spent time exploring this area, they found it to be full of both beauty and hardship, a paradise that offered a challenge. The sisters fell in love with their new home.
One night, when the sisters were sleeping in one of the many caverns they had explored, they both shared the same dream, of a single old cat who spoke of clans. The sisters were unsure of this strange occurrence, and when the old tom in their dream had told them to gather enough cats to create a clan on the mountains, they did not believe him. As they awoke, they continued on their adventures and thought little of it.
That is, until a group of three scared young cats, barely a year old in age, were found by the sisters, lost and hungry. It seemed they too had left their former homes to venture out, but had not had as much luck as the sisters. The two sisters had been skilled hunters after they had accustomed to the mountain home. Stone, who was more suspicious of the sisters, didn't want to be troubled with beggars. But Crystal, who held more compassion and a natural care in her heart, urged her sister to take pity, and allow these cats guidance under them. Stone finally agreed, and the three cats were trained under the sisters.
Soon, it was clear the group was functioning greatly. Prey was caught quicker, injuries and sadness were quelled by Crystal's instinctive persona, and Stone's stern yet skilled guidance changed the once miserable trio into strong and loyal friends of the sisters. It was then that Stone remembered the dream, and suddenly understood what the old tom had said. This clan...
If she and her sister could change cats like these into good and strong adventurers, imagine how amazing this place would be if it were a whole clan? Filled with purpose, Stone told Crystal and the three followers what she was proposing. Luckily, it seemed to be a good idea. The trio agreed easily, and Crystal felt a sense of joy at the possibility of caring for more cats.
Stone followed the instructions from the dream, once the group had decided that she was to become their leader. Crystal attended as well, for the dream had mentioned the need for a clan caregiver, a healer. The sisters trekked deep into the caverns that lined the mountain river, where stars reflected against the water. In the deepest cavern rested a large pool of water, lit up by a small opening at the roof of the large cavern, where moonlight and starlight reflected onto the water.
Stone and Crystal drank from the water, and instantly fell into sleep. The vast lands of Starclan opened before them, and they gazed in awe at the sight. Cats of a once forgotten clan circled around them, summoning Stone forward. It was here, on that night, that Stone received nine lives, and made the promise of building and leading a new clan. It was here that Crystal gained the blessings to become the clan's medicine cat. It was here they received their new names.
Stonestar, leader of Cavernclan, and Crystalgaze, medicine cat of Cavernclan.
The sisters returned to the trio, who became the first warriors of Cavernclan. Their names, formerly Eagle, Falcon and Hawk, were now Eagleflight, Falconshade and Hawksong. Cavernclan had begun its first generation, and as time passed, the five founders gathered any followers they could persuade.
Cavernclan continues to grow and thrive, as generations pass and new adventures begin. Cavernclan lives on!
Cavernclan territory consists of a large expanse of thickly forested mountains that reach up into snowy peaks of strong stone. The clan also uses the vast expanses of caverns and caves for hunting, hiding and keeping safe from the harsh elements.
Camp- Cavernclan's camp is located in a large cavern on the bottom of a valley between two mountains. This cavern has a stream running constantly through it, and provides many caves for dens and nests of different ranks. The cats like to sun themselves on the warm stones and grass patches of the large mountain valley outside of the cavern, but they sleep in the caves.
Starpool- The Starpool is a large pool of still and crystal clear water in the deepest used cavern of the clan. This cavern is located almost secretly near the largest river in the territory, also at the bottom of one of the nearby peaks in the valley. This is where medicine cats and leaders come to talk to Starclan.
Shaded Forests- These are the large expanses of thick forest land in the territory, that stretch across the mountains and stop at certain elevations where it becomes mostly stone. Lush with prey, but also predators, one must be viligent in these beautiful yet creepy woods. It's easy to get lost if you don't know the territory well.
Bonebreak Cliffs- One can easily guess how these towering cliffsides got their names, considering the number of cats, prey and predators that have broken bones and taken their own lives from falling off. A great place to catch birds, but only the warriors can come up here. Young apprentices and kits are forbidden to trek up here.
Twoleg Dwelling- A distance from the territory is a small twoleg camp that extends farther to become a larger one. Many nests are made of trees, and cats like to come explore the mountain and join Cavernclan when they leave from here.
Mountain Path River- The largest river on the territory, that splits off into many smaller streams and sometimes into lovely waterfalls. Cats can come here to fish, swim or just enjoy a nice splash. Although, bears can actually be seen here, and are possibly the most dangerous creature here. So one must be careful...

Rules: -No cursing, flaming, or bullying of any kind. I don't tolerate nasty behavior, no matter what.
-Be literate please. You don't need to write tons of paragraphs, but please check spelling and grammar. And when you're not rping, put your chat in brackets ( ).
-No God-Modding. A kit or apprentice cannot kill a full-grown warrior. Don't rp other cats either. Allow the other rper a chance to respond if you're rping a fight.
-Join with a lot of cats if you want! But please keep track of them and rp with them! Don't make 15 and then only rp with 2. If you feel you'd only be able to rp a few, only make a few.
-Rules are to be enforced by me, and the deputy rper of the clan, who will be chosen by me based on activity and such. Don't disobey the rules.
-No force-mating, kit-stealing, too graphic gore or unrealistic plots. Seriously, don't give your cats super powers. That's God-modding.
-Not all cats are perfect! Try and give them some flaws!
-If you've read this far, good. I expect you to! The codeword is "Cave Dweller"

Leader
Soaringstar- Soaringstar is a large, thick furred dusky grey-brown tabby tom with piercing light blue eyes and large paws. Muscular and hardy, this tom is capable of taking hits and dishing them right back, as well as being able to brunt well against the harsh environment. Soaringstar is strong-willed, open-minded and humorous, usually seen making jokes and socializing often with as many clanmates as he can manage. Even so, while he may be very understanding, he can sometimes be too lenient or reckless when leading patrols and hunts. He's also a bit awkward in the romance field. He does have a big heart though! Born to two now deceased Cavernclan cats, his living kin is his sister, Plummetsky. His warrior name was Soaringwind. (Moonblazer)

Warriors
Plummetsky- Plummetsky is a large, muscular and long-furred grey she-cat with darker tabby markings and pale blue eyes. Her body is littered with scars from her past battles and fights, and her paws are large and heavy. Plummetsky is stern, wise and devoted, and is excellent in battle. She works very hard for her clan, and while she has trouble connecting with her clanmates at times, she would give her life for them in a heartbeat. Her brother is Soaringstar. (Moonblazer)
Apprentices
Canyonpaw- Canyonpaw is a bulky dark brown tom with black mackerel markings and black paws. His eyes are a piercing yellow. Canyonpaw is laid back, friendly and loyal tom with a desire to be a great Cavernclan warrior. He can be bold when he speaks, which can get him in trouble a lot. Even so, his heart is in the right place, and he's an excellent socializer! (Moonblazer)

Hello, moonblazer! My name is Miststrike, and I currently collaborate with Gigithebear to make MistyClan and JayClan (we are also planning on asking Butterflynuggets to add her clan FernClan). Thing is, things aren’t balanced with just 3 clans (if butterflynugget says yes), so Gigi and I want 4! It would make it more balanced. So, would you like to be part of the River/Forest territory?
Please do not take this offer lightly, because planning a clan is a HARD JOB! We need to work together to have the best turnout possible. Of course, you can plan your clan rules and such however you wish, but, as the old saying goes: “what are friends for?”
We will work together as an original 4 clan rp (I am not interested in claim-a-cat, but if you are, that’s okay.) So, whattaya say? We will give you one week to decide. You have until November 17th, 2017. We hope you accept!
Miststrike

Hello Miststrike! The offer sounds really great, but as of now I'm going to have to decline. The clan is just starting out as a new clan, and with College right now, I feel that my capabilities to help with a four-clan rp will be hindered, andI want you guys to have a great 4-clan rp!
Cavernclan will remain a solo clan, but thank you so much for the offer! I may open it to 2,3 or 4 clan rps in the future, but for now It's best I not.

Oh, sorry! That’s okay. We have a few others on the drawing board as well to try for, so don’t think that declining would stop us in our tracks or anything Sorry!

Thank you! Feel free to join them once it’s done (if you want), but I need to get back to Gigi (She has no idea what’s going on!) Bye!
