Should the introductions be from a cat's perspective, or just general? I was thinking a general introduction since we don't have any characters yet, but at the same time Fireclan's openness to strangers and Forestclan's lack of openness and focus toward tradition could be conveyed better if it was in the perspective of a placeholder cat.

๐ปvideocassette๐ป I was under the impression they'd be from a generic loner/stray perspective like how most intros are. that way the personality of each clan can be better illustrated I think?

Forestclan intro: You proceed cautiously through a beautiful forest, the trees alive with the sound of birdsong and the air teeming with the scent of prey. You have journeyed long, and faced hunger in the city streets - compared to what you have faced, it feels like a haven. You had seen the cold mountains surrounding the valley, and explored the warm, mouse-rich meadows under the same territory - You had scented the markers along the territory border, but you pushed past them. Perhaps the cats living here would welcome you after your travels. However, as you draw past a pond tucked among the trees of this land, you smell the catsโ scents drawing closer. Your fur stands up but you try to remain non-threatening as you see a patrol of cats emerge to meet you from the overgrowth. They are strong and serious, but non-threatening. The one leading the patrol steps forward, their jaw set as they acknowledge you with a dip of their head. โThis is Forestclan territory - We will not harm you, but you are not welcome here. We can escort you from our territory if you would like. There is prey to be found near the twoleg farm.โ They meowed. You canโt help but look around at the tall trees, shading you in comfortable, cool shadows from the hot sun. You can hear a nearby stream running, making you suddenly thirsty. The birds seem to sing louder, as though begging you to stay. But you know these cats are serious, and you do not want to be under the claws of so many of them. Who wouldnโt want to defend this territory? You give in to their request, and are guided off out of the forest that you couldnโt help but long to remain in. For a moment before they take you to their scent markers, you open your mouth to beg if you can stay with them, but their polite yet distant gazes make it clear they hold no interest in anything you might have to offer. โThis is where we leave you. If we find you over our border again, we will have to chase you out.โ The patrol leader warns, gently but firmly. You nod in agreement. In a final farewell, the Forestclan cats meow, โMay Starclan light your path.โ You watch them pad off into the forest, and you wonder what it must be like to live with cats such as those. Yet it seems that only those in this clan would ever know for sure...

ca$hew โง I wouldn't make it too long. Brief is okay with me. like, you can have two paragraphs. paragraph 1 is about the two clans history in general (this paragraph will be the same for both clans). but paragraph 2 focuses more on what that specific clan is like. awesome! in that case, I can write a draft for each clans info section P:

Fireclan intro:
You feel the ash-covered ground beneath you as you pad through what remains of a forest. It is clear that fire has ravaged this land moons ago, the few remaining trees from the fire bearing the scars of the flames, and some are charred and falling apart. But spiny pine trees have since grown in the destruction, speckling the land in small numbers and creating some shelter and home for prey. You pass a deep, rocky ravine, chiseled into the neighboring mountains, where you can scent prey hidden in the cracks of the stone. It is not a beautiful territory, but it is livable. That is all you hope for after your long travels. As you continue through the dismal territory, you are stopped when you scent other cats. From a tall pine tree, a cat climbs down - scarred, powerful. They meet your gaze, threatening and proud. โWhat are you doing all alone in a place like this?โ They ask, and you begin to wonder if they plan to attack you. You back away as the cat draws closer, but you can clearly see that they have faced incredible hardship and have made it out on top. They were shaped by this territory. And somehow their strong presence tells you, they shape the territory right back. โI am in search of a place to live. The forest is taken by a clan.โ You meow. โForestclan - sitting with prey falling at their paws. Thatโs no way to live.โ The cat snarls, โThey kicked you out of their paradise, didnโt they?โ You nod, recalling how the patrol of cats had escorted you off their territory, warning you to never set paw over their border again. You can understand this catโs obvious dislike for them. โWe here in Fireclan are far stronger than they will ever be. We get our strength by survival.โ They meowed. While they intimidate you, you begin to realize that they mean no harm to you. If anything, they seem to welcome your presence. โYou chose well coming here. You will have to hunt and fight with us, but you will find food and shelter with us.โ They meow. As if on cue, your stomach growls loudly for the two of you to hear. The thought of a good meal overpowers the fact that the chilled air smells of the smoke of moons ago. โAnything to finally not go hungry.โ You admit, dipping your head gratefully. โGood.โ They meow, flicking their tail eagerly for you to follow. You have traveled long and far, and have faced great exhaustion and hunger. While these cats may live in such a wasteland, it seems they are not in any great want. They have strengthened through trails, like you. You will do well in Fireclan.
