— — clan one

minnowclan | mistclan | dewclan | echoclan

     Clan character: Observant, Calm, Brave
     Prey: Fish, mice, voles, water voles, and shrews
     Hunting skills: Only Clan that desires to use the waters around, but can be skillful in the undergrowth if need be.

     The cats of CLAN ONE are known to have handsome and beautiful features. They have glossy fur and are larger than most of the other Clan cats. Colors that help them blend in with the stones and undergrowth are common, so white is incredibly rare. The only unfortunate thing is that they often lose kits early on and have an average maximum of three kits per litter. Queens are forbidden from eating fish the moment they learn of their pregnancy.

     Located near a small cove, CLAN ONE resides where the waters gracefully cut through Rustling Leaf Bay. They border primarily next to CLAN THREE, but a small sliver of land touches with gradually rocky terrain of CLAN TWO's territory. There are several important landmarks:
     Twilight Crest - the only cove in the forest, the Clan forbids apprentices from going here, as the cliffs are often slippery and the currents can pull a cat out to sea with one wrong pawstep
     Swirling Pool - fed by a larger stream, this pool is used to teach younger apprentices how to properly swim as it isn't too deep for an inexperienced cat
     Little Runnel - a small little creek where fish like minnows reside, cats come here for an easy snack
     Pricklestone Groove - A ravine that borders with CLAN TWO, the ravine itself provides some forest prey but leads to this landmark sometimes being fought over
     Foggy Hollow - the thicker part of the forest, filled with a variety of trees this area gives the Clan a different taste other than fish
     Flickering Rill - a creek that leads to the camp located on an island in the middle

— — clan two

firclan | ryeclan | buzzardclan | talonclan

     Clan character: Prideful, Independent, Wise
     Prey: Rabbits, hares, mice, robins, sparrows, hawks, and owls
     Hunting skills: Excellent in the tall grass, and the only Clan to develop a way to hunt predators like hawks and owls. These cats are built for night and speed. Unlike the other Clans, they utilize both day and night to bring prey in and are more well-fed.

     These cats often have dull, neutral pelts. Browns and grays are very common. They're built with long, strong legs. Because of their pride, they're less likely to ask for help but with the right price, are willing to help. They are considered wise because they journey to speak with StarClan more than the other Clans, as well as their knowledge to outrun and hide in plain sight against predators of the land and air.

     CLAN TWO makes their home on the rocky plains. The forest slowly transitions to moor and rock and eventually turns to complete stone the higher you go. The openness of their territory makes the other two Clans uneasy and alone serves as some mental defense. Primarily bordering with CLAN THREE, CLAN TWO only shares a small ravine with CLAN ONE as a border. The Firefly Cavern is located near their territory and the other Clans must travel through to reach it. There are several other important landmarks as well:
    Raging Rapids - the main water source for the Clan, the rapids flow past the camp and through the territory, reuniting with the Rustling Maple Bend in CLAN THREE's land
    Windsnap Heath - the stretch of moor at the edge of the border, once you hit the heath after exiting the forest, the wind picks up
    Chicken Scratch Prairie - a small farm the cats avoid, unless hunger drives them to snag a few chickens and their eggs; apprentices love daring each other to hunt here
    Rabbit Burrow Hedge - a thin patch of trees where the grass grows taller and rabbits hide
    Sandy Chasm - a ravine where the apprentices are trained
    Coldwind Peak - rubble is scattered throughout this area and serves as the Clan's camp, since it is located higher up the mountain, the wind is often colder

— — clan three

elmclan | finchclan | ivyclan | mothclan

     Clan character: Friendly, Loyal, Impulsive
     Prey: Mice, shrews, voles, squirrels, and all kinds of birds
     Hunting skills: Skilled in the undergrowth, but exceptional in the trees.

     They have the most variety of pelt colors compared to the other two Clans. They range from pale to vibrant, with straight white still lacking. They have long tails to help with balance and toughened pads for the bark they climb on. Their claws are also unusually long, to help with the climbing.

     CLAN THREE stakes their claim in the forest. They border CLAN ONE and CLAN TWO. Between their border with CLAN ONE, rests the Hazy Cascades. Unlike their neighbors, the Clan extends their territory out and away before moving borders with another Clan. There are several important landmarks in their territory:
     Fernwood Path - a trail that twolegs often take when hiking into the forest
     Rustling Maple Bend - the river that carves into the forest and then turning to the border with CLAN ONE
     River Bend Gorge - a crevasse that settles where the border is once the river turns, perfect for hunting woodland creatures
     Dancing Timbers - a collection of firs where the wind easily shakes the branches and gives them a "dancing" movement; warriors often catch sparrows and robins here
     Sunlit Woodland - where the sun often peaks through the trees and dapples the earth, where the Clan trains
     Hickory Ridge - camp; a ravine where the hickory roots cuts through
