History Long ago, three clans had lived in harmony amongst themselves: Horizonclan, located amongst the harsh sands, Barrenclan, located amongst the strange rock terrain, and lastly Rivuletclan, located in the lush forest. The three clans looked out for one another and made sure everyone could survive in any phenom that struck. They worked together to be able to survive, as it started out as three, and they believed that it should stay as such. Till the past greenleaf, Webstar, leader of Rivuletclan grew tired of such conditions. He sought to expand his clan’s territory, believing them to be entitled to more, as they were bigger compared to the other two clans at the time, so they needed more territory to hunt in to be able to ensure they could make it through leafbare. He knew he didn’t stand a chance against, Alertstar or the rest of Horizonclan. So he had set his sights on Barrenclan and the newly appointed Dovestar. After enough time had passed, with his manipulation of his clan successful, and had convinced them that they deserved more than what they had. Without warning he launched an attack on the clan in the dead of night. Ordering his warriors to kill anyone they had come across, no matter who. His warriors had obliged the order without question, taking out the smallest kit to the scrawniest elder. The medicine cat of Barrenclan, Brokenpetal, had managed to get a few cats out, an expectant queen, two injured warriors that had been in his den recovering, an apprentice, and the deputy. The group managed to make their way to Horizonclan camp, where they were allowed to take shelter. The deputy, Flamegust headed back to his camp, alongside Alertstar and a patrol of Horizonclan warriors to try to provide aid to any remaining Barrenclan cats. Sadly when they arrived the battle was over, with no sign of Rivuletclan lingering around. They managed to find one apprentice who had taken shelter protecting a kit. They brought the two back to Horizonclan camp. The next day Horizonclan helped bring all the bodies to their camp, where they held a large vigil for all the fallen cats, before assisting in the burials. The remaining Barrenclan cats: Brokenpetal, Vinesnout, Flamegust, Halfskip, Aspenwing, Missingpaw, Leappaw, and Beekit, were permitted to join the ranks of Horizonclan, with no real home for them to be able to go back to. At the next gathering, Alertstar condemned Webstar’s actions, and stated that any truce that existed between their clan was gone. With Alertstar vowing that if Rivuletclan ever runs into trouble, there will never be aid coming from Horizonclan. Rp takes place a year after the attack in leafbare Form Name | Age | Gender | Sexuality Description | Personality History | Kin | Crush/Mate | Other | sn
Plot: A prophecy has hit the clans. The cats are struggling to understand the meaning. With the first part going to Horizonclan, and the second going to Rivuletclan. It's up to the medicine cats to decide if they will share their half to one another. “A wrong must be made right, a sin must be corrected.(Horizonclan’s part). " "Only through blood and betrayal, will the sin be cleansed(Rivuletclan’s part).” Rivuletclan sub: Rivuletcan also is facing struggles with every kit being stillborn, with no new youth being brought to the clan, they start fearing for the worse. As a result of the lack of kits they have taken to kit stealing from rogues/loners in the area as well as from Horizonclan. Horizonclan sub: Horizonclan is working to fight off a new form a greencough, that is affecting the desert dwelling clan. With leafbare running it's course, they can't even risk going into Rivuletclan territroy to try gain access to some herbs. The medicine cats struggle with what to do and try seek guidance from the Sublime Fields.

Horizonclan traditions 1.Festival of the Sparrow- A festival held on the Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice. In greenleaf they hold various tournaments for both warriors and apprentices to compete in and have fun. Winners usually receive some kind of reward. 2.Rite of Passage- When it is time for a warrior to retire, they travel back to the Owl Tree, where they will find the marks they made at the start of their warriorship, and remark the place at a diangle, to symbolize that chapter now closed of their life. 3.Day of Remembrance- Held at the end of leafbare. The clan holds a week long feast, where they are free to socialize as much as they want. It is a peaceful time for the clan, as they just take the time to acknowledge everything they have gone through, and give thanks for making it through any hardships, but also remembering those they lost. 4.Courting- Horizonclan when a cat wishes to be mates with another will begin to court that cat. This is started by getting a blessing from the cat's parents, or in cases they are dead or are estranged, a medicine cat. The courter will present the courtee with various gifts, only one per day, from feathers to stones to whatever the cat desires that they feel the courtee might like. There is no limit to how long a courtship might take, it will end when either the courtee accepts or rejects the courter. 5.Tattoos- When a cat dies, a tattoo is dyed into their fur, using a berry like poultice. Depending on the cats rank, the more elaborate. It is to show respect to the dead cat and acknowledge their work towards the clan. 6.Brave the Journey- When apprentices are made warriors, instead of a vigil over night, they instead go on a quest to the edge of the territory, where the Owl Tree resides. Where they mark the tree alongside the numerous other marks from warriors before them. It is just done to help them use their various skills they gained as an apprentice, and get to leave their mark in the clan’s history alongside the other claw marks of the cats that done it before them. Rivuletclan traditions 1.Exile Ceremony- Since Webstar became leader, they no longer had elders. Once a cat has to retire for any reason, they are exiled, as Rivuletclan values strength and health above everything. The ceremony begins the day after the cat chooses to retire where a small feast is held, where the cat's achievements are recognized. After everyone is finished, the cat in question is stripped of their warrior name and given a new rogue styled one, before a patrol of their close friends and family escorts them off clan territory. 2.Early Warriors/Apprentices- There is times where they make exceptions to make apprentices become warriors early if the apprentice shows high talent in their abilities and if the mentor agrees. Since Webstar became leader he has started to go about making kits apprentices early. 3.Tournament of Champions- A warrior if they feel that the current deputy is not fit for the role. Can challenge that cat in a series of tournaments. If the deputy wins, they stay in their position and the losing warrior is demoted to doing apprentice duties for a moon, and even stripped of their warrior name for this moon. Of the Warrior win, the deputy steps down, and the leader holds a ceremony naming the new deputy. 4.Petals- Flowers are sacred to Rivuletclan, and are not to be picked by any means, there is only two exceptions made, 1) the ones that serve as herbs for the medicine cats, 2) for burials. As the clan will take petals and cover the deceased in them. They believe it helps their ancestors who reside in the Sublime Fields will find their soul faster. 5.Names of Strength- When kits are born, it is the senior warriors that name the kits, while the parents watch. This is done in hopes that the kits will grow into strong warriors like the ones that gave them their names. There is usually 1 warrior per kit born. 6.Stealth Games- A newly formed tradition the thieves, apprentices training to be kit stealers, partake in games designed to pit them against one another, to find who is the partner they are assigned to be with to work together when they pass their training.

Special Ranks of Rivuletclan Kit Stealers- These are warriors that are trained in stealth. They know various ways of moving about without detection, as well as tricks to cover up their crimes. From faking it to look like a bird of prey snatched the kit to luring foxes into the area to get the scent everywhere to make it seem like a fox attack. They are masters of cover8ng their scent. They have no hunting training, but do have fighting experience. They usually work in pairs, as it is safer to have another cat their watching your back, especially when using the likes of foxes. SPECIAL CREDIT TO Pineclaw for the ideas of what formed the kit stealers Rank to what it is Thieves- Apprentices that are specially selected or chosen, to become kit stealers. They are trained till they are paired with their partner. Special Ranks of HorizonclanNight Dwellers- cats that operate at night, with the dangers that come from their sandy home, there are warriors that sleep during the day, and protect the clan during the night
Twilights- Apprentices in training to be Night Dwellers

more information sometime this week life: nawww heres some though, sicne some seem interested this is now mostly for planning so feel free to respond About Horizonclan Horizonclan is settled in the vast desert of the area, as such the cats have long since adapted to the harsh climate of it. With their clan mostly made of cats with short lighter colored pelts, to better be able to thrive in the harsh sun, but it isn’t uncommon for dark or long haired cats to be amongst its ranks, usually these cats are stationed as being the night dwellers, with the dark or long fur being able to help them with the cooler and darker times. Their clan makes it’s home in the ruins of a twoleg structure. Horizonclan has it warriors and apprentices split into two different categories:Warriors and Night Dwellers; Apprentices and Twilights. Their dens are the various rooms of the ruins. Horizonclan has various predators that they have to be knowledgeable about, from various snakes, scorpions, mountain lions, coyotes and golden eagles. Their prey consists of mice, lizards, mourning doves, desert cottontail, antelope squirrel, gambel’s quail, jack rabbits and fish. Animals that they are cautious of are tarantulas. About Rivuletclan Rivuletclan is settled in the forest of the area, with access to the rock terrain of what was once Barrenclan. Their cats are made of varying colored pelts and lengths of fur, though most common color is brown and orange. The warriors are split into two groups as are the apprentices: Warriors and Kit stealers; Apprentices and Thieves. There are no real requirements to get placed into either category. Their camp resides in an open clearing, that was once used by twolegs for logging purposes. Their dens are dug out holes under the bushes that reside in the flat area, reforced with various branches to prevent them from collapsing. Rivuletclan deals with the usual predators such as birds of prey, badgers, and foxes. In Barrenclan’s territory, they deal with wolves, snakes and mountain lions. Their prey consists of birds, rabbits, squirrels, and fish. There are no animals they are cautious of.

Hey there! I am super interested in joining these clans. I haven't been on the forums in years, so I thought it might be easier to start with a new clan that doesn't have as much history to learn. Are there any aspects you want help with making or brainstorming? I am in college now too, so I understand it can be hard to find time to work on things. If not, I will anxiously await the opening of these clans.

Perhaps for the ex Barren clan lands, you could have like a cave, a series of pointed rocks/spires, or even like an old rock structure left by two legs log ago, kinda like stonehenge. They could also have a ravine or canyon like area where the river has dried up. Perhaps there could be an old sinkhole? If there are significant old remnants of long lost forests there could be large, dried wood pieces/stumps, or maybe even petrified wood/fossils.
For Rivuletclan, it's sorta hard to come up with good variation in woods outside the classics of clearings or significant trees of sorts. Perhaps there is a particular hill that is taller, maybe one or more trees that have fallen in a certain way or were previously struck by lighting to form a certain structure. There could be a really ancient oak tree. There could be a section of for example birch trees that spirits are said the wander through. Perhaps there is a clearing that is particularly good for finding flowers in certain seasons because of the amount of sunlight that is let through. Given that they have a tournament of Champions, there might be an area that functions as an arena where this tournament takes place. Also since it used to be used for logging, there could be areas that have large grooves or tracks from log haulers.
