{ Welcome to PatchClan.
Introduction
Padding over hills and through fields of moor you grow weary. This long travel with no destination has had you at your wits end. The sun slowly rises over the horizon and you stop abruptly in your tracks. A silhouette of a white feline can be made out along the pink and orange skyline. Another cat comes up to join them. They stand still and alert as they have spotted you among the grasses. Your ears perk up and your whiskers twitch as you watch the white cat trot down the hill, their companion following them.
You stand your ground as they pad up to you with your fur instinctively fluffing up. The white tomcat seems cool and collected, his red eyes sweeping you over in one glance. His companion behind him also seems calm as well. Her fluffy brown tail rustling the tall grasses as she kept her steady green gaze focused on you.
The tom cleared his throat before speaking. "Fellow cat, I just came down here to alert you that you are coming up upon clan territory. Please do not tempt to cross the border, or you will be treated as a threat." He took a step forward, a glint sparking in his red eyes.
The white and brown shecat leaned her muzzle into the tomcats ear to whisper a few words before backing away. She shot you a small smile to comfort your concerned look. The white cat stood up straighter, speaking in a more serious tone, "Unless, you consider joining our clan?"
Do you accept or decline his offer...?

About
Welcome to PatchClan! The clan got it's name from the fact that each cat is very unique. All of the cats come together to create a patchwork of a clan. The clan is incredibly diverse. Cats range from kittypets, to loners, to simple warriors. The cats don't follow a set body-type and come in many different colors and breeds as well. Though the clan is small, they are strong.
The cats of PatchClan also have a few unique traditions. The clan cats are very fond of collecting trinkets ranging from smooth pebbles to bird feathers. Things like these are often used as gifts towards new mothers, proposing mates, or newly made warriors. It is a sign of appreciation and friendship. The more things you have in your nest, the better. The felines also have a feast every spring, when prey reaches its peak. Where they spend the day hunting and at sundown they celebrate and thank StarClan for all that is given to them.

Territory
PatchClan territory is just about diverse as the cats who live in it. You can cut up the territory into three parts of a square.
The upper left corner contains a birch and maple forest. The forest canopy is a constant beautiful orange and red color. The forest is thick with ferns and bushes. It is the prime place to hunt squirrels and birds. But beware, because there is a twoleg cabin in the woods where a hunter and his dogs live. It is very dangerous. Warriors must also be wary for foxes and badgers living in the forest.
In the bottom left corner is a marshy territory. Where many rivers and streams flow. The place becomes completely flooded in the spring time from the snow-melt. There is a small pond that all of the streams are connected to called Silver Lake. It is the best spot for swimming and catching fish. Cats whom are water pawed should feel at home here, where the fish are plenty.
In the bottom and upper right side of the territory it is all moor land. The fields make up the most of PatchClan territory. PatchClan's camp is located in the meadows as well as their training clearing. The Training Place is a sandy dip in the grass land where mentors train their apprentices, it is not located far off from camp. There is also Herb Fields, a very lush and flowering meadow not far from camp either. It is the best place to find herbs and butterflies. You can expect there to be many rabbits and field mice in the moor land, with the occasional hawk to be wary of.
In the north side of the territory, past the border, it is all mountains. No cat has ever traveled past the mountains. But some say that the creator of PatchClan came from the mountains. On the south and east side of the territory, it is all twoleg dwellings. There are fences upon fences and twoleg homes upon twoleg homes. PatchClan cats are very friendly with the Kittypets that live there, it isn't rare to find a PatchClan cat that is friends with a Kittypet. In fact, a lot of PatchClan cats have kittypet roots.

Camp
The clan's camp is located midst a meadow, in between the Training Place and Herb Fields. The camp is in a large dip in the moor, with a pact sandy clearing. At the top of the wall there is thick gorse to keep out threats. There is a single exit and entrance, a gorse tunnel that leads up and out of the camp.
All of the dens are holes that were dug out from the wall of the camp. The Nursery, Elders, and Medicine cat dens all have a small tunnel leading deeper into them, so they can retain comfortable temperatures and are also safer from threats. The medicine cat den has another room within it for patients and small holes in the walls of it to store herbs in.
The only den that is not a cave is the leaders den. There is a tree that had fallen into the gully that the clan lives in. The tree is lopsided and leaning against the wall of the camp, kind of like a ramp. The leader makes their home inside the trunk of the tree. The leader also makes announcements from the tree.
