Heyo, I've made a good amount of clans in my day and I was wondering how this sounded, I hope you guys think it's a good idea. I'm happy for criticism.
Shrikeclan
Shrikeclan is a clan based mostly on survival, apprentice ceremonies are quick and dangerous and only the best can guard the rocky mountainside.
Shrikeclan is set up on an island type structure with a tall mountain used to communicate with the 3 Gods, Shrike (The God of Prey and Shrikeclan's protector), Flint (The God of Predators, Shrikeclan's Judger), and Zerith (The God of Wisdom, The One Who Chooses Prophets). Together they help the clan thrive.
To the east of the clan is a large expanse of lush forest territory called Jay's Landing, where they hunt and explore. As everything on this place, make sure not to wander too far. For if you fall off the floating territory you will die. The west is covered in a hot, sandy ravine called Jackal's Passing, this is where Flint is said to reside as a throne like rock formation was found there, Flint's chosen animal is also a Jackal and as there are many there it is a dangerous place. This is where apprentices are tested. The south is a small section used for dens, food, and other small area before the drop off. The north is the true beauty, crystalline lakes and rivers all comings from God's Peak, a large mountain on the north ledge. This is where Prophet apprentices are accepted and where a deputy is allowed to be a leader. It scares most cats as it is a treacherous climb where many have died.

Culture
Shrikeclan due to it's age has an interesting culture. Though it is very similar to the clans below them. Shrikeclan values honor over everything and will not be afraid to do what must be done for the sake of the clan. Due to their partial isolation the warrior code for them is tweaked and quite odd compared to the clans below. Since they also have winged cats, said to be children of their ancestors, Zerith and his mate Hyacinth who were the ones to discover this place. Most have dark colored and large wings and are respected, as they are the ones to allow the others to join the gathering and save wandering kits and apprentices who fall off the edge. Slowly they are dying out and the clan is planning what to do once they are gone. Prophet's much like medicine cats, are the only ones who can receive visions. They are the one's the Gods talk to and are seen as family to the three brothers. Oddly enough though True Prophets are created in the time of need and are actually immortal until they aren't needed, different from the fact Prophets are only able to live longer than others. Warriors are in charge on making sure any jackals and coyotes come into the mainland from Jackal's Passing. Apprentices are allowed to chose their special job to train for before coming a warrior. Any apprentice can train for more than one job, though it is tiring. A Prophet's apprentice can only become a Prophet when their mentor dies.
When a Prophet dies all of the clan will mourn them in the largest lake. The body believed to be bathed in the tears of the brothers so they can return to the stars. Shrikeclan also believes in Starclan.

History
Three brothers had watched as the clans had suffered. Hurt by the pain the youngest and the eldest Zerith, and Shrike pleaded with their brother to agree with them. Soon Flint agreed and they figured out a plan. Stealing a few kits from different clans they raised them alongside Zerith's young. They then felt that this small haven was enough. When the three died the brothers decided what must be done. Instructing the first Prophet what to do they could only watch and wait as time went own and their dream grew. Soon even recognized by the clans on the ground the three were content. Besides Flint that was, his bitterness at the fact that he was ignored and hated as the God of Predators grew as his other brothers were revered. Soon his bitterness caused the "Blackout" as it was called when he returned to his part of the land to release the Jackals on the clan. Leading to his brothers to fight him and them back alongside the Clans. After that they realized how they had hurt the god and now every new moon the honor him and how he strengthens the clan.
