THE CLANS
Not very long ago, four clans lived in a territory far away from here. Original cats of the clans remember their journey to be where they are now and share stories of their travel as one to their young. For many generations the clans lived in peace, separated into four mighty territories and mighty clans. Devastation fell upon them many of times but they remained strong until their final battle with the elements. When an ancient volcano that sat not far from the clans territories erupted and shook the ground, cracking it open and filling it with ash and hot lava, the clans were forced to flee. Many cats were lost to the heat of the lava, to sick or too old to run away fast enough, other were lost in the clouds of ash or died after inhaling it. The ocean swirled with angry waves and pushed them further north, up into the old mountains of the lost Peakclan territory. The journey was hard, the mountains offered little shelter, little food, and frigid temperatures. Many more cats froze to death, fell to their deaths on the steep cliffs, were taken by eagles, or were too weak and were left behind to starve or freeze. This was a dark time for the clans but eventually they found shelter and with the guidance from Starclan, who had been silent all this time, they made their way out of the mountains.
To the new territories they call home they found themselves clustered around a fairly large lake, the grass green and breezes warm. After a few moons of regaining their strength the clans parted ways and established fair territory between them all, calling this new place home. With Prarieclan claiming the moorland, they decided to rename themselves Breezeclan, having lost their old prairie dog burrows, after the breezy landscape of their new territory.
Oakclan took the oak forest, keeping their name and settling in deep within the woods, their leader ___star, guiding them to health. The cats of Waveclan, battered but used to wet paws, took to the marshlands, renaming themselves Mistclan, after the several mornings of mist floating around their new territory, finding it a more suitable name after loosing the waves of their old ocean territory. Some cats however, found it difficult to fit in, those cats fled and sheltered in a mix of cats within a murky and dark pine forest, naming themselves Shadedclan in thanks to the shadows the forest gave and let them learn to take advantage of, growing strongly. The four clans settled around this lake, calling it home and hoped to rebuild their numbers.

CLAN LANDS
The climate for this roleplay takes place in a land very much like the Pacific Northwest United States: Most of the flora and fauna of that area can be found here. However, as it is a fantasy roleplay; the territories found here are different and usually would not be found in close proximity to one another. We ask that you suspend your disbelief: because after all, this is a roleplay where cats believe in cat-heaven and some have magical prophetic powers. While we try to be realistic in some areas, we do want to provide a bit of freedom in the types of dangers and challenges they may face.
THE MOORLAND - The place Breezeclan calls home.
THE OAK FOREST - The place Oakclan calls home.
THE LAKE - The water source that sits in the center of all the clans and is shared by them.
THE PINE FOREST - The place Shadedclan calls home.
THE MARSHLAND - The place Mistclan calls home.
THE MOUNTAINS - The passageway to the old territories.
