These are offshoots of the canon ones. They live in the old forest as the canon Clans aren't there.
They are: LightningClan (tc), UmbraClan (sc), BreezeClan (wc), TorrentClan (rc) and skyclan will be CloudClan
I'm just not sure what their traditions, lore or culture would be.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Well if you are making these canon-like, with them moving into the place that the old clans left, then are you going to integrate them into the environment that's now there? They might be more like BloodClan living in the shadow of two legs, and might struggle to survive. It could be a more brutal take on clans, one whose code isn't so black and white.

I second making them adapt to the Twoleg presence. Either they have to include built-up areas into their territory - which creates some juicy threats such as frequent road crossing, rats and disease - or they're squished into the territory that's left, which is going to require some robust rules for sharing out prey and conflict resolution. Another question is how much these cats know about the old Clans (it sounds like you've thought about this at least a little). How long has passed since the New Prophecy arc? Are the old Clans legends or do some of the older cats in your Clans remember belonging to/interacting with them? This could inform their lore as they might have rituals dedicated to remembering the canon Clans, improbably exaggerated legends about canon events etc. Do they have a concept of the warrior code, and if so, is it treated as a revered set of rules from the canon Clans or have your Clans modified it? Have they inherited the canon beliefs in StarClan or do they have their own religion? Depending on how much your new cats know about the canon Clans, they might not have the same traditions regarding mentors and apprentices. Are you apprentices trained by all the senior warriors? Is there a teacher role that some warriors hold permanently? Do they have specialised medicine cats or is medical knowledge integrated into everyone's training? As far as I remember, Fourtrees got bulldozed, so your Clans will have to think of a different place to hold Gatherings. Or, due to the lack of an obvious place, they'll only hold Gatherings when there's a serious issue that needs resolving. Then, the usual exchange of news would happen informally or not at all.
That got kind of long, but I hope it helps!

~Sapphire~Sorry for this not being clearer, but the new Clans settle in the forest after travelling from elsewhere (which is where the canon Clans live). In essence, it's a huge timeline change, as well as history revamp.

They left the original Clans due to overpopulation.

Mmkay, I think most of my advice still stands in that situation. Was there any particular aspect of the lore/culture you wanted help with?

I'm going to change the codes. Did you want to see what they're like right now? ~Sapphire~

Looking good! You seem to have though it through really well. I like how the new Clans have been forced to become a lot more pragmatic than the canon ones. I also thought it was quite interesting how the medicine cats can retire to warrior/queen - there's some interesting things you could do with that.
