Welcome to the Riverstones!
This page serves as a both a border page and Gathering page for the Clans MorningClan and EveningClan.
MorningClan and EveningClan are a pair of Clans who occupy the mountain foothills and the lowlands beneath. EveningClan is the Clan of the mountains, known to be as cold and harsh as their stony and unforgiving environment. MorningClan are the cats of the forest, nimble like squirrels and changeable as the seasons. Each Clan has its strengths and weaknesses, and each Clan both respects and despises the other for its own reasons. Still, the two have managed to live in relative peace despite their noteable differences for many, many moons.

Rules
☾ Follow all forum rules, as always.
☾ No flaming, trolling, spotlighting, powerplaying, godmodding, etc.
☾ No mary sues/"perfect"characters. Your character is almost never going to be the absolute best in the land at anything. Being very good at some things (not everything), however, is entirely acceptable. Your character will be bad at some things. They will have some flaws. They will lose sometimes. Similarly, though, please don't make your character so awful that they have no good aspects and are mopey and depressed and annoyingly flawed. Give them some space to develop and improve, but also let them develop and improve.
☾ As always, keep things pg. So, no excessively graphic violence, language, or other inappropriateness. If you desire any of these things please take it to PM where it is legally out of my control.
☾ Please try to be literate and original. Make your characters and their actions unique and meaningful rather than making them from a cookie cutter with nothing personal going for them. Contribute to the plot and roleplay in a meaningful way that is enjoyable for everyone. Use good grammar, spelling, etc. At the same time, please don't write a novel every post. If you try to make things too long and complicated it gets boring and tedious. Find that comfortable middle where it's entertaining for you to write and entertaining for us to read.
☾ Please keep characters realistic in appearance. Obviously things don't have to be 100% realistic- there are plenty of tortoiseshell toms, and somewhat unrealistic pattern combinations exist, such as gray and black spotted☾ but keep the cats believable. So no purple eyes, blue stripes, or perfect star-shaped marking on their forehead.
☾ If you are gone for more than two weeks without prior warning, you will be suspended and your characters moved to the "inactive" slot. If you are gone for two weeks after this, your characters will be entirely removed. If you have any ranks- such as a leader, deputy, or medicine cat- then that character will be available for other people to claim, or (in some cases) the character may be killed off entirely.
☾ I reserve the right to reject or remove people who are not literate enough, who do not contribute well to the roleplay, who are not active, who do not keep in the spirit of the roleplay, or who do not adequately follow the above rules.
The Warrior Code
☾ Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from the other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
☾ Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
☾ Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders.
☾ Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
☾ A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
☾ Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
☾ A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
☾ The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
☾ After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
☾ A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.
☾ Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
☾ No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.
☾ The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
☾ An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
☾ A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
☾ Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the four. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.

Joining
Please join on the page of the Clan which your cat will be a part of. If joining as a loner, rogue, or kittypet, joining on this page is acceptable. If joining as a banished/former Clan cat, please join on the page of the Clan that they had been a part of; however, your cat will be listed here with the other "Cats Outside the Clans."
