The Land

The territory and surrounding areas, the Land is the stage in which most of the wffw writing takes place. This will mostly consist of the core Clans, but also extends into the wilderness (and beyond!)

The Clans
The five core Clans that inhabit the Land, along with a description of their values and territory.

StormClan, the Clan of the Brave. Bravery is valued highly here, and cowardice is harshly looked down upon. Their territory is covered in fairly open forest. Their camp is tucked under an craggy overhang in the middle of the forest, where the bank of the hill has eroded away. This provides shelter from the elements, although StormClan cats rather sleep out in the open given the chance. There's a large hollow fallen willow that houses the warriors and apprentices in bad or cold weather, and an old fox set has been converted into a medicine cats den, small hollows branching off from this making space for the queens and kits in the wintertime. StormClan cats have a range of pelts, although greyscale is often favored. Amber eyes also is a common trait of their bloodline.

IvyClan, IvyClan cats have a more lean frame with long legs and large paws for climbing. There pelts range in many colors, and are the most genetically varied clan of them all, besides MoonClan (somewhat). IvyClan territory is a dense forest scattered with large moss-coated stones and towering trees. The forest is so thick that a cat could travel the whole territory without ever touching the ground, the camp is located in the treetops with dens weaved from branches and leaves, with the exception of the nursery with is in a hollowed tree.

MoonClan, MoonClan cats are smaller with large paws for moving silently. Their pelts are usually darker colors, MoonClan territory consists of a large pine forest. The trees often shimmer a silvery color during the night, and the well-worn paths are often covered in pine needles, an open clearing in the middle of the forest serves as the MoonClan camp. The leader's den in under a fallen tree, and the other dens are made from other shrubbery that surround a large clearing.

BreezeClan, BreezeClan cats are lean and fast, with long legs and tough pads. Their pelts are generally greys and browns, to help them camouflage with the territory, BreezeClan cats live on a rocky moor, the foothills to a huge mountain range, a large cavern in the side of a small mountain serves as the camp. A split in the top of the cavern casts starlight down onto the hidden camp below. On the clear night, BreezeClan cats sleep in the middle of the cave to be closer to StarClan.

StreamClan - Stubborn and seclusive. StreamClan would live in a thick marsh land. Scattered around are a few gnarled water oaks and cottonwoods, making it look as if it's snowing most the year. Thick-bladed grass tries to take hold wherever it can, and grows in tussock-clumps scattered around the higher latitudes of the territory. The rest is covered in mud and water, run through with creeks and rivers fed by cold natural springs that eventually all trickle into a good sized pond. The pond is ringed with cottonwoods and willows, and it is around here that StreamClan keeps its camp. Overlooking the lake rises a faint hill, one of the only places in the territory where the ground isn't always mud. It is ringed with ferns and white oaks, a large red oak standing proudly in the center. Dens are ringed around the tree and the surrounding ferns. Cats in StreamClan are often long-legged to keep out of the mud and have wide paws and glossy fur for swimming. Their pelts are usually mottled -- solid colors are more rare than patterns -- and browns and blacks are prominent. Whites/silvers are very rare.

The Timeline

Not everything takes place at one time! From our own Dawn of the Clans to wars and natural disaster, each marks a bit of history for the world.

Traditions and Lore

On Sacred Places
I also had a bit of lore idea: Since the clans are so distant from each other, and StormClan is the only central location (in which they wouldn't want all meetings to take place on their soil) the cats would actually have two sacred places to commune with StarClan: the StarStone in BreezeClan's hills (like the OS) that they'd visit during the waxing moon, and the StarPool (like the po3/oots, but on an island) in StreamClan's territory that they'd meet during the waning moon. There'd be some lore of why those moontides are what they are, so if someone wants to make an origin story that's up for grabs.



On Gatherings
The gathering place would be an open hill on the border of BreezeClan territory. It'd be preferable terrain for all the cats and only StreamClan would have to commute far.
