welcome

➤ While the original four Clans in the forest aren't the most original, they are nice to make. With more in-depth Clans, things get lost and it has become more of a job over just something for fun. While this won't be all fun and play, as we expect the admins to run their Clans respectively, it won't be too troublesome. The original four or even the five are something that I feel are more directed at making new acquaintances and friends over just making something to be at the top. Hey, we happen to become popular, that's a plus, too!

guidelines

➤ If it is truly needed, admins may take two ranks. As an example, you can claim leader and deputy, but since you have claimed that, you can not claim medicine cat nor the medicine cat's apprentice. For obvious reasons, one person cannot claim both medicine cat positions in one Clan. We will, however, alternate with members for the leader position.
➤ It is advised that leaders remain in their own Clans until each Clan has a sufficient amount of members. Once all Clans have reached a point, then leaders may join the other Clans. However, if a Clan is severely lacking members while the others are thriving, leaders are allowed to join to help get activity up.
➤ We have the right to deny anyone from accepting a position or being an admin of a Clan. If a reason is requested, it will be given through private messaging. If an issue arises with an admin, they may be removed from their position(s). Deputies will not be chosen at this time unless it is another admin or the admin itself.
➤ Secondary leaders are other admins. Their purpose is to temporarily run a Clan and moderate how an admin runs their Clan. They issue strikes against a leader and with evidence to help support their claim. This is so if an issue rises, it can be taken care of without a story of hearsay. We deeply apologize, but helpers can not be secondary leaders. Secondary leaders have already been assigned. The ThunderClan Admin will be secondary to ShadowClan, the ShadowClan Admin will be secondary to RiverClan, the RiverClan Admin will be secondary to WindClan, the WindClan Admin will be secondary to ThunderClan. They have been assigned to save time and effort.
➤ Everyone is required to contribute. A lot of the work is already done or is in the process. However, plots and other things will be discussed. Helpers must contribute to potentially have a chance at gaining a rank later on. Everyone, unless specified, must be on every day at least once. Greeting someone does not count.
➤ The form given is the form that is to be used. If it is not satisfactory by any means, you will be denied or offered a position to help. Those who ignore the rules and simply ask if a Clan is open will be denied. Anyone who asks for a job that has been taken will be denied, even if they ask for being a helper. This does come across as harsh, but we have dealt with people not reading the information constantly. It has occurred multiple times on multiple pages.
➤ This role-play will accept LBGTQ+ characters. If you are not comfortable with this, then please do not join. All leaders must enforce the rules that are written.
➤ Any rule may be added at any time in the case something is forgotten or an issue rises.
➤ If you have any questions or one of the rules are unclear, please let me know so I can clarify and edit the rule to make it easier to understand!

territories

RiverClan
     The RiverClan forest territory is located in what Twolegs call Morgan Farm's Campsite and the River Chell. Landmarks in this territory include:
        ● Camp - A well-drained island surrounded by the river and reeds. The other Clans' fear of water means this camp has never been attacked.
        ● The Gorge - A deep gorge cut by the river in the terrain, border with WindClan. Apprentices are forbidden to go near it.
        ● The River - A source of food and protection to the Clan. Sometimes, it is peaceful while other times, it floods.
        ● Twoleg Bridge - A bridge built by Twolegs that allows the cats to go to Fourtrees when the river is high.
        ● Beech copse - A training area for apprentices and warriors.
     The whole camp is surrounded by reeds. In the central area, the cats lie and share tongues in the sun. In the tangle of one of the reeds, there is the warrior's den. It is also right next to the nursery. On the roof of the den, cats have woven in sparkling rocks and shells from the river. The light dances on these, making beautiful reflections. The river comes up very close to the nursery. That's why the walls are built very thickly to prevent the nursery from floating away in a flood. The nursery is also close to the river so the kits can practice getting wet and sometimes swimming. This helps them when they become apprentices. Across the central clearing, the elder's den, leader's den, apprentice's den, and the medicine's den dwell. They are all in a tangle of reeds covered by a hard reedy roof.

ShadowClan
     The ShadowClan forest territory is located in an area that Twolegs have no specific name for. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as Windover Road, and the North Allerton Amenity Tip, and the North Allerton Road. Landmarks in this territory include:
        ● Camp - A dark, well-concealed hollow hidden deep in shadows. It is surrounded by prickly and fierce brambles.
        ● Carrionplace - An evil place where rats and diseases lurk.
        ● Thunderpath tunnel - ShadowClan cats move freely across the most feared part of the Thunderpath. This has enhanced their reputation for mysterious strength and invincibility.
        ● Burnt Sycamore - An ancient tree struck by lightning moons ago. Apprentices are trained here to hunt at night and stalk through undergrowth.
     The forest is quite different on ShadowClan's side of the Thunderpath. Instead of thick trees, there're more pine needles. The camp is protected by brambles, and the entrance is through a tiny path. There is hardly any grass, but the ground is muddy and cool. The leader's den is beneath the roots of a big oak tree. The warriors' den is under a bramble bush. The den looks prickly on the outside, but on the inside, it's lined with pine needles and moss. There is a smooth boulder at the edge of the clearing, which serves as a higher place for the leader to address the camp. Propped up next to this large rock is another rock, and it creates a sheltered cave underneath. It is the medicine cat's den. Sick cats can rest in the ferns surrounding the boulder. There is another hollow shielded by a thorn bush. This is the nursery, and the thorn bush is protection.

ThunderClan
     The ThunderClan forest territory is located in what Twolegs call the White Hart Woods. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as Windover Road and Chelford Forest. Landmarks in this territory include:
        ● Camp - It lies at the foot of a sandy ravine, protected by thornbushes. The camp is easy to defend and hard to attack.
        ● Tallpines and Treecut Place - Pines near Twolegplace. Usually filled with Twoleg tree-eaters, the ground there rumbles and leaves deep gullies filled with muddy water.
        ● The Great Sycamore - One of the largest trees with strong and thick branches.
        ● The Owl Tree - A tree that serves home to a tawny owl.
        ● Sunningrocks - Rocks that absorb the sunshine and are a place of relaxation. Moons ago, it used to be an island belonging only to RiverClan, but when the river changed current, ThunderClan wanted this territory, too.
        ● Snakerocks - Home to venomous adders. The caves beneath the rocks can also be homes to other dangerous creatures.
        ● The Sandy Hollow - A training hollow with soft sand so apprentices don't hurt themselves.
     The camp entrance is well hidden by brambles, which protect the camp from predators, but doesn't stop sunshine from coming in. A ravine leads through it. This ravine was once a river, but it is now dried up. The way into the camp is through the gorse tunnel. The nursery has thick bramble walls and is the most guarded part of the camp. Behind a tree stump, there is a clump of ferns where the apprentices sleep. Warriors sleep under a bush in another tunnel. Inside the camp, there is a fallen tree where the elders sleep, and the senior warriors sleep in the center of the camp. Across the clearing, a smooth tall rock resides. This is called the Highrock, and the leader stands there to make important speeches. The leader's den is in a cave in the rock which was carved out by an ancient stream. Lichen covers the entrance. The last notable feature in the camp is a fern tunnel that leads to a crack in a rock. This is the medicine cat's den.

WindClan
     The WindClan moors territory is located in what Twolegs call Windover Moor. The territory also includes Twoleg places such as the border, Windover Farm. Landmarks in this territory include:
        ● Camp - It is tucked into a natural dip in the sandy moors. This makes the camp sheltered from wind, but easy to attack.
        ● Abandoned Badger Set - A tunnel once used by a badger.
        ● The Gorge - A deep gorge cut by the river in the terrain, border with RiverClan. Apprentices are forbidden to go near it.
        ● The Farm - The northwest border of the territory is marked by a farm.
        ● Outlook Rock - A large rock on the border heading towards Fourtrees. From here, everything can be seen across the moors.
     The camp is very well hidden, surrounded by a tangle of gorse. An old legend says that Windstar, the founder, scooped out a pawful of sand to make the hollow for the camp. There are no proper dens. The leader, apprentices, and warriors prefer to sleep under the open sky, although in bad weather, they retreat in burrows made by rabbits, foxes or badgers. The leader has a den behind the Tallrock, but he never sleeps there. The Tallrock is a large boulder used by the leader for special ceremonies. The elder's den and nursery are dens along the gorse wall surrounding the camp.
