♫ Four Part Harmony ♫
{Four part Harmony is A four clan Role-play.}
The woods are dark- it's getting cold. The rain pitter-patters down onto the leaves, splashing into puddles on the ground, making you squint your eyes. The howling of the wind brings the scent of another cat, the feeling of something or someone watching you creeps into your mind... You stumble deeper in the thick woods, your heart racing. All you wanted to do was go on a little walk. A few paces later you suddenly come across a hollow. The scent of four cats drift through your nose, and your fur stands on end. "Welcome," four voices mew, almost harmoniously. "You have stumbled into our territory. Join one of us, or be driven out." One of them mews loudly, his voice sounding authoritative. A loud clap of thunder crashed as soon as the large cat finishes his sentence.
Now is a time to choose.
♪ About The Harmony ♪
These four clans, Aarowclan, Abyssclan, Gulchclan, and Fernclan have lived in harmony for many many moons. Like any other clans, there have been fights, border fights, battles over territory, and forbidden loves, but Starclan continues to bless this little community of cats. In this Role-play, there are specific territories that each clan claims as their own, much like the warriors books with those four clans.
♫ Geography of the Harmony ♫
♩ AbyssClan ♩
Abyssclan is located in a darker ash and pine tree filled forest, much of which covers their territory. With lots of places to hide, defending their territory is super easy. Since the canopy is so thick, not much sun reaches the ground, making it dry and brittle. There is one small pond, very near the entrance of the camp, providing them fish and herbs.
Abyssclans camp in the middle of a deep knot of trees, bushes, and thorn bushes. As you near the camp entrance, there is a little dip in the ground, making you pass behind a rock, sliding in on your belly into the little underground camp.

♩ Gulchclan ♩
Gulchclan is located behind a large waterfall, its deep gorge running through the center of their territory. With many different types of trees spotting their lands, the amount of prey, and types of prey vary greatly. Gulchclans territory is very exotic looking, moss covering just about everything you eyes can see, and plenty of herbs to go around. To get to the camps entrance, you must carefully walk behind the waterfall on a thin ledge jutting out over the water. The camp is in a cave the big rocky cliff that the waterfall flows off of.
♩ Aarowclan ♩
Aarowclan has a very hilly terrain, lacking in foliage. With the direct sunlight almost constantly on the ground, the grass is withered and mostly brown. There are a few trees that line the border of Aarowclan and Abyssclan, and on the other side, there is thick foliage of ferns, nettle bushes, and other short plants, bordering Fernclan. There is a small little creek that separate Aarowclan and Fernclan's territory, making the border prominent. Aarowclan's camp is located in a hole in the ground, made from an ancient moonstone. Now lined with soft moss, this camp is very homey. There are two entrances to this camp, but the one that leads through a series of other tunnels to get out, is rarely used since there is no light there.
♩ Fernclan ♩
Fernclans territory is rather flat and not very exciting. It is covered in ferns, and soft nettle bushes. The camp is nestled nicely in the middle of a large clump of ferns. there is a stream that separates Fernclan from Aarowclan, giving them lots of Fish to eat.

Exceptions
Cats on their way to the Moonstone or Moonpool are allowed to cross other Clans' territories to get to their destination - WindClan grounds on the moorland in the forest, and ThunderClan grounds by the lake.[source?]

Cats may travel on other Clan territories if they have something to report or to ask for help.
The code is flexible about leadership challenges. Cats may challenge a weak or cruel leader if their Clan is in danger, and if their leadership threatens the Clan, the code expects a warrior to challenge their leader.

Medicine cats may not have a mate or kits.
Kits must stay in camp until they are apprenticed, and are not allowed to hunt.
The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one cat.
Clans must not unite together to drive out another Clan.
