ElfClan · · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · A Clan inhabiting eternal Leaf Fall
Ok so lol. I know I just made Honey Clan and I would not plan on opening up Elf Clan until our irl Leaf Fall this upcoming season hehe. But I wanted to revamp some things about my previous idea.
The territory would take place in a land where it is eternally Autumn. There would be Elves co-existing with the cats and the two creatures would help each other thrive off of the land.
I thought there could be the possibility of rp'ing as foxes too because they match the season and are very Elf-coded imo. Red squirrels are also a very Elven creature and I thought maybe we could weave them into the story somehow, although, I understand the difficulty of this because they are prey. I just think it would be very fun to explore the roleplay aspects of creatures outside of cats.
In my previous iteration of this Clan, the Elves disappeared and there were Four Clans that ached under the tragedy of it. I would like to not do that LOL, because StarClan forbid I ever let my creations live in a fr tragedy.
But listen, are we going to choose "Elves disappeared and everycat is sooooo sad and has to abandon their homes to forge a big Clan together to deal with the loss" or "We all live in an eternally autumn forest with our bffs, Da Elves" you know? LOL
I am unsure at this moment what the concrete plotline would be, as I won't be publishing this until late September c: (given there is enough interest, of course)
I would love to explore any plotlines or ideas anyone would may have. Autumnal goodness, Elven goodness, I am open to hear any ideas. and I will update more of my own ideas as time passes !
((also I know this is the same font and similar colors to Honey Clan/Applestar but like... whatever, you know LOL. This font is so Elven and Applestar's colors are so Leaf Fall so what am I to do when the shoe fits?))

still loving it 🙌 maybe red squirrels are considered sacred animals by the cats and it's very frowned upon to kill or hunt them, even in famines? there could be folklore about the squirrels leading cats to food or water during hard times, or maybe that young cats who pass on become them so they can run and play in the trees forever
i rly like the idea of a magic infused land like this though! it reminds me of the secret of kells a little bit 😊 do you think the elves are able to communicate with the clan cats or are you imagining them more as mysterious arcane caretakers

cinder you're such a genius omg, let's make both of those things about the squirrels canon plz Hmmm... I like the idea of them being able to communicate but the mysterious arcane is always so tantalizing. Maybe they have a subtle way of communicating, empathetically and with mannerisms.

I loooove alchemy like medieval fantasy alchemy. especially the mechanics in the elder scrolls and a game called potion craft. I think I'd really like to implement the idea of strange and outlandish herbs and ingredients to do things we wouldn't normally see in warriors.
I am a huge fan of magic being done in Earthly, subtle ways like this.

Cloverwood i love what im hearing so far!! i think strange herbs is a good idea and could also make potential for more roles than just medicine cats, like maybe potion/poultice smiths or jewelers 🥹 im imagining them living in pretty little fairy houses in the trees (i do too!!! if you like pretty animation i can definitely recommend it)

also, as far as plots go-
i did like the original plot idea of multiple clans learning how to coexist. maybe a long winter could have fallen over the territory of other clan(s) and elfclan accepted them in?
or, if we wanted something a little less perilous, the plots could be entirely character driven (an overly ambitious clan member) or something new and magical happened (likeee maybe a strange elf appeared and left, and the morning after the meadows were overgrown with new mysterious herbs?)
with a world like this we could do anything really!!

dropping rank and plotline ideas in here !
Prince - one of the democratically chosen leaders (1 cat) Princess - one of the democratically chosen leaders (1 cat)
Herbalist - a forager and master of all things herbalism (3 cats) Alchemist - an extension of the herbalist, one who is a master of herbalism but also a master of medicine making and potion crafting (2 cats)
Scout - the sharp vigilance of the Clan (3 cats) Warlord - the brazened soldiers of the Clan (4 cats)
Clairvoyant - the all-seeing and ether touching, this one is always blind (1 cat) Keeper of Crypts - the dream weaver, the cryptic, the one who covets the Clan's secrets; the "eyes" of the Clairvoyant (1 cat) Clairvoyant's Tender - the caretaker of the Clairvoyant (1-2 cats)
Wisecat - the seasoned, wise and retired; the lorekeeper, the advisor (1-3 cats)
Plotline 1: The prince and princess died foolishly at the maw of a vicious wolf attack. This led to ElfClan putting an end to their archaic political system of heirdom and bloodlines. They are converting into a democracy slowly and have yet to choose a new prince and princess.
Plotline 2: There is a prophecy regarding one Scout and one Warlord to go on a perilous journey (details tbd)
