Welcome, wise traveler, you have chosen well. You have found one of the smartest, most stealthy, and quickest thinking clan known. We have a lot of things to tell you, before you may even enter our home, the Skynest.
Twolegclan was created when a group of kittypets were left to fend for themselves, after their owners all left at the same time. They had some kittypet food left originally, but quickly realized they had to catch their own food to survive, especially when they learned all the other twolegs had left as well. After they first got together, they received a message from Starclan, learned the warrior code, their first leader, Pinkstar, received her nine lives, and they became a clan. When the other clans learned of them, there was outrage, especially from Jayclan, who were blinded by their "purity", but Twolegclan managed to be recognized as one with help from Mistyclan, their skills and intellect, and of course, Starclan.
Special traits and skills
Being originally kittypets, Twolegclan still prefer to use the nests to their advantage, and are masters of ambush, being almost silent hunters in the nests. Since the abandoned nests are very old, creaky and missing boards are common, leading any apprentices to need to be near silent to catch anything, as there are many small crevices that are impossible to enter. The need to remember many twoleg nests, and to differentiate between them, leads Twolegclan to have much better memory and always looking for another angle. This leads to very smart and strategic cats, and apprentices have been known to give an idea that is better than what even the elders could come up with. Since the nests provide a ton of different elevations, Twolegclan has learned to use all sorts of terrain very effectively, and can easily reach treacherous or hard-to-reach areas. They are not as strong or quick as other cats, and their reliance on using the terrain around them heavily disadvantages them in open areas such as moors. Even in unfamiliar terrain, they can quickly learn and take advantage of hiding spots and ambush locations. The different twoleg nests are also fairly difficult to patrol, and if another animal finds an entrance it can be hard to get them out, not to mention being extremely dangerous to an untrained apprentice.Their tendency to only fight if they have a good advantage can lead to them retreating often, but this is easily remedied by the fact that Twoleg clan cats can avoid other cats very easily when they are trying to hide.
Territory
Since Twolegclan has primarily used the twolegplace where they live for everything, they do not have much territory outside of it. Even with this extra territory, Twolegclan rarely fights in it unless they have the advantage, retreating to the nests when they are outnumbered.
The skynest
Being the largest nest, and considered a mansion at the time of it's abandonment, it was an obvious choice for Twolegclan's camp.The entrance has been barricaded by generations of cats painstakingly moving large furniture and has a much smaller and much more easily defended entrance, and any entering cats can be easily spotted.
Red rock
A pile of bricks, put there by the owner before leaving, most likely for a project that never happened. it is where the leader speaks, and is at the top of a hollow mountain (second floor and stairs).
Leader's den
Situated in a small bedroom, the leader's den has a small skylight, enabling the leader to receive signs from Starclan.
Medicine den
The medicine den is located in a twoleg hider place (kitchen) where the drawers and cupboard aids in storing and protecting herbs. It also helps in newer cats to learn herbs quicker. It has a sliding glass door, but the cats only know of it as a field put there by starclan to enable the medicine cat to connect to starclan, and protect the medicine den at the same time. Cats can hide in empty drawers as well, and the medicine den has been saved multiple times through this method.
Elders' den
Placed in a bedroom at the end of a dark hallway, the elders' den is a quiet place, as not many kits are brave enough to go there, and those who are often get scared by the coldness, or scary voices (the elders) speaking, and leave. A few who venture further are greeted with praise, being braver and tougher than most others and not letting fear get the best of them.
Nursery
Placed in a master bedroom, the nursery is one of the largest areas in the skynest, and needs to be that large to support the large amount of kits being born. It has a double bed for queens, and the kits have plenty of room to play, with the added bonus of the Nursery having many cat toys. It has been used as a small base when the skynest is being attacked, as it is the most protected area within the skynest.
Apprentice den and warrior den
These two are pretty much the same, and are the medium rooms. Some cats have their own area, but most stick to these two dens. Both are always defended.
Other dens
The deputy, and certain cats who have proved themselves, receive their own dens, for themselves and their mates. Not all cats get these, but it helps cats strive to be better. These are situated in more hidden and secluded spots, making an attack on the main dens from an enemy much less effective.
Other twoleg dens
The six other twoleg dens (not counting Blackwood or the training nest) in Twolegclan's territory are heavily blocked off, except for a small, secret entrance that is constantly moved. It helps outnumbered cats be safe, and provides a area for sick cats to not spread whatever they have to others. These are much smaller as well, being bought from the owner of the skynest.
Blackwood
A burnt-down twoleg den, used for burial and vigils. A cat is only buried here if they have a large contribution, or they lived their lives to become an elder. What caused the fire or how the whole house was made of wood is not known by Twolegclan.
Training nest
The oldest twoleg nest in Twolegclan's territory, it has been overgrown by vines and serves a challenge to apprentices during training. They learn to use the terrain to their advantage, and many warriors remember when they first tried it, the vine breaking, them falling, being laughed at, and finding a new angle to get up.
IMPORTANT!
Twolegclan may have come from kittypets, but they are not all accepting. Pure strength or power is less important than skill and thinking, and they are not easily impressed. Not many cats can even learn or remember one nest, let alone 8. This does give them a great way to improve, and the cats have even learned to open doors. They may advance to become smart as humans, but this is severely limited by their natural fighting skills and bodies. They are purely focused on what cats can do, and very few are ever accepted, almost less than Jayclan. This could lead to similarities between both of them, but opposite the same.
