Hello!
I’ve always been interested in prehistory, particularly regarding mammalian evolution, and while researching for another clan of mine, I sort of reignited that passion. So naturally, I tried to think of ways to fit that into a Warriors setting.
I’ve done a bit of research on both
prehistoric and
domestic cat ancestors (those aren’t required to read, I just thought they were interesting) and thought, maybe a clan that incorporates aspects from them into their mythology and everyday life would be cool.
I was thinking, maybe a clan that lives near a fossil site, such as a cave or a tar pit? Naturally it would have to be virgin territory, with little to no human interaction, otherwise they wouldn’t have access to such a place. I was thinking maybe a European or Siberian woodland/mountainous area.
They’re cats and wouldn’t have the same view of fossils or other prehistoric artifacts/paintings like we do, so it would be neat to explore how they’d react and explain them. Maybe they incorporate them into their religion, creation, or mythology? Or perhaps, they’re a relativity ‘normal’ clan but the sudden finding of various fossils (maybe a large cat?) makes them question their place in the world?
Naturally, the plots don’t have to all revolve around prehistory, but I think it could potentially be an interesting foundation.
I am hoping to make this semi-lit to lit, with a very strong emphasis on developing plots, characters, and relationships, and worldbuilding. I was also wishing to make a very unique and interesting culture, one that stands out from other clans.
I’m mostly posting this to gauge interest, as well as offer a spot to anyone for help if the idea is intriguing to them! I find starting a clan a lot more fun if you have others who helped and contributed starting with you!
