   Warrior Cats are divided into Clans, each with their own territories, skills and beliefs. Find out what it means to be a part of these Clans. Within the Warriors universe, cats live in a structured society divided into Clans. There are four main Clans: TerraClan, Brineclan, Moonclan, and Sunclan. What sets the Clans apart from other cats are their belief of their ancestors. The Clans recognize two formal afterlives, StarClan and the Dark Forest.

   A beingade of mist and stardust that takes the form of a cat is believed to be the leader of Starclan while the second similar being is believed to be the warden of the Dark Forest but it's heavily debated. Any cat that has nearly died often describe one of the two.

   The first cat will take on the form of a cat that played an important role in said indicidual's life, either that be a parent, mentor, friends, or other. And they will lead good cats to Starclan where cats are never forgotten and get to live and hunt and play among the stars. StarClan cats leave starry paw prints, their eyes shine like stars, and their pelts glow with a strange light that makes them look like they have stars in their fur. The cats' spirits remain in StarClan until they are forgotten by all living and dead cats over a long time and earned their own peace, causing them to fade away. It's believed when that happens Starclan cats are reborn. Starclan cats will often send visions or prophecies to the living to guide them. But communication is difficult even for cats that devote their life to Starclan and the Warrior Code. StarClan has the greatest role during leadership ceremonies, giving the new leader their nine lives and new name. Each of the lives are granted by different ancestors, usually a cat the new leader had cherished when the cat was alive. These can be loved family members, friends, or even mentors. All though Starclan cats face no struggle or hardship, they always worry for their clanmates they left behind. Therefore they're always watching and guiding their loved ones as best they can.

   When nine lives are granted to a leader said cat becomes near immortal and will live much longer than their clanmates. When nine lives is granted to a leader, they are given a special gift or attribute to make them a good leader, such as endurance, courage, or strength.

   But if a cat is approached by the other cat, the Warden. They're lead to the Dark Forest, also known as The Place With No Stars, where the sun never rises and prey is non existent. The warden of the Dark Forest guards the border between The Dark Forest and StarClan. Starclan cats can only enter the Dark Forest with permission from others. But if a Starclan cat enters, there's a chance they wont be able to leave. Dark Forest cats are also capable of interacting with the living for both helpful and nefarious reasons, but they're often attempting to lead the living astray, so it's best to ignore possible signs of a Dark Forest cat trying to communicate with you.

   The two ethereal cats are believed to be sisters, but little to nothing is known about them. They do not speak nor interfere with the living outside of visions and dreams. So- If you're approached by the weeping sister in a near death experience, best clean up your act!

   Terraclan . . . Terraclan cats are iron willed cats that have the strength to match. They are usually quite stocky in build and have thick-fluffy pelts because they eat lots and often participate in heavy activities such as climbing, digging dens and tunnels, and keeping larger mammals at bay like wolves, pumas, foxes, bears, and so on. They are formidable fighters but many usually prefer climbing and hunting. Their prey of choice are large birds, and mountain goats. Often in groups they will try to chase a mountain goat off a ledge of a cliff to kill it. When hunting birds some will place bait or even play dead to attract a bird, and once it's in range they will leap up to snatch it out the air. One Terraclan cat is strong alone but a group large enough can drive away almost any predator. They heavily rely on teamwork and clan/familial bonds.

   They have large paws and thick blunt claws to cling onto rocky surfaces, and a large tail to act like a rutter when chasing, climbing, and jumping to stay balanced. Terraclan LOVE the snow/colder months of the year and are most active that time of year.

   Brineclan . . . Brineclan cats are sleek web-footed cats that spend a lot of time in the water. Broad shoulders and powerful hind legs they are powerful swimmers that can often outswim any other cats outside their clan. They're often found hunting in large bodies of water to catch fish, small crabs, and sometimes clams as a treat. They have slick short fur that will sometimes puff up to trap air bubbles and float. Sometimes, clever Brineclan cats will use the tips of their tails to bait fish to them, but many don't like the feeling of something nipping their tail. Many Brineclan cat warriors will specifically hunt otters for "otter-wax" which allows Brineclan cats to groom said wax into their fur for a mostly waterproof coat. Brineclan cats have the largest paws out of all the clan cats.

   But despite their name and environment, most are usually not that keen on getting wet... Therefore outside clan cats see Brineclan cats as very grouchy.

5. #5MoonClan

   Moonclan . . . Moonclan cats are soft creatures of the night. Although lankier than other clan cats they are known for their cunning and and swift feet (or paws I guess). Unlike many clan cats they are known for their inky black fur color (or just dark fur colors in general.) They live mostly in low lands and swamps and hunt rats, frogs, small fish, and sometimes bugs. They would be the most mysterious of the clan cats and some legends say they have the ability to communicate with other animals, usually wolves and badgers. But those are just legends. Despite their swampy origins they take very good care of their fur. Moonclan cats are often the deadliest of the clan cats, due to their often unusual style of fighting, other clan cats call it dirty or unfair.

   Moonclan cats usually don't speak to cats outside of their clan unless needed.

   Sunclan . . . Sunclan cats are considered the most spiritual of the other clans. All though prideful, they have every right to be. Sunclan cats live in dense forests and hunt small mammals such as shrews, mice, squirrels, rabbits, and sometimes small birds if they can get their claws on one. They're often recognized by their thick "manes" and strong forelegs for climbing trees. They are usually the friendlies of the clans, but they stick to the warrior code and take pride in it. These cats would be the closest to Starclan and are best known for their knowledge in gathering herbs and connecting with their ancestors.

   Sunclan cats LOVE to lounge in the sun whenever they get the chance.

   The position of leader is the highest rank a Clan cat can obtain in their lifetime. A Clan's leader oversees the day-to-day activities of a Clan. The Clan's overall well-being is the leader's responsibility, and as such many of their tasks involve mediating between Clan members, consulting their deputy and senior warriors, and ensuring the Clan is running smoothly. It is also their duty to assign mentors to apprentices, hold warrior ceremonies, call Clan meetings when necessary, and decide whether or not a stranger is invited into the Clan.

   Leaders have their own personal den in camp, which they may use to discuss private matters with cats if necessary.

8. #8Deputies

   Keys: Deputies, Deputy

   Entry settings

   Deputies are the second-in-command of a Clan. A deputy is chosen by the leader to be their successor. Deputies are responsible for organizing daily patrols for the Clan, such as hunting patrols and border patrols, and they will do this autonomously. The deputy will also collect patrol reports from patrol leaders, and report back to the Clan's leader with them at the end of each day.

   If for whatever reason, such as sickness, injury, or kit-rearing, the leader cannot perform their duties, the deputy will step in for them.

   If a deputy dies or rises to the station of leader, a new deputy must be appointed before moonhigh. In order to be eligible for deputy-ship, a cat must have mentored at least one apprentice in their lifetime

   When the leader dies, their current deputy must travel to the Clans' sacred place, escorted by the medicine cat, to commune with StarClan and receive their nine lives.

   Entry settings

   Medicine cats are members of a Clan who treat diseases and injuries. They also receive and interpret omens and prophecies from StarClan.

   Medicine cats are considered somewhat removed from the usual rules warriors are bound to follow. This includes being able to cross territory borders without consequence, as well their ceremonies being presided over by themselves and StarClan instead of their respective Clans' leaders.

   Although not strictly forbidden by the warrior code, it is socially unacceptable for medicine cats to take mates and have kits, to prevent favoritism and bias in their healing duties. The punishment for this will be up to the Clan leader, but regardless of their decision, other Clan cats may cause the offending medicine cat shame.

   A medicine cat's main job is to heal their fellow Clanmates of their wounds and sicknesses. They have many ways of doing so, mostly through herbs and berries kept in the medicine cat's herb store inside their den. The Clans' understanding of medicinal herbs stems from Cloud Spots and Dappled Pelt's knowledge from the mountains and the ancient Tribe from when they gathered herbs in the valleys, which expanded with new herbs once they arrived at the forest territories. The expansion of medicinal knowledge exponentially grew after StarClan established the role of medicine cats, and the original four medicine cats shared their findings for various ailments with each other. Years later, medicine cats continue to share their discoveries with one another at the half-moon meetings.

    Entry settings

    A queen is a cat that is expecting or has recently given birth to a litter of kits, or a she-cat who has decided that warrior duties don't suit her as much as kit-rearing duties do and chooses the role permanently. Pregnant she-cats will move to the nursery at some point during their second trimester, roughly halfway through the pregnancy. They will not return to warrior duties until their kits are at least four moons old, though most will remain until the kits are apprenticed.

    A kit is a cat under the age of six moons who is still living in the nursery with their mother and littermates. Their sole duty is to grow big and strong enough to become apprentices. Kits will spend their days playing and listening to stories told by the elders. Their games will give them a head start on the Hunting and Fighting Skills, and observing them play can offer clues as to their stats and personality traits.

    An elder is a Clan cat that has served their Clan faithfully, but has now retired. Elders have earned the right to do what they want, be that sleep all day or wander around the territory without the burden of duty. They are not required to hunt for themselves, and are cared for by the Clan's warriors and apprentices. An elder's only remaining duties to the Clan are to share the Clan's history with new members, usually the kits that visit them for stories, and to bury the dead. A Clan's Memories will be known by all members of the Clan that bore witness to the events that transpired. New members will not know at first the Clan's history; it is important to keep a Clan's history alive through word-of-mouth and telling stories. This is the primary role of elders, but if there are no elders in a Clan, it will fall to the Playercat and their senior warriors.

    When a kit turns six moons old, they are ready to become an apprentice. Until this time, their name ends with the "-kit" suffix. When a kit becomes an apprentice, their name is changed so that the suffix of their name becomes "-paw", showing the path that their paws are now on.

    The Clan leader calls a Clan meeting to appoint a new apprentice and assign a mentor to them. The following words are used, by tradition:

    Leader: (Kit), you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as (new name, ending with the suffix "paw"). Your mentor will be (name of warrior or medicine cat). I hope (name of warrior or medicine cat) will pass down all they know on to you. The leader calls up the warrior they have chosen as a mentor.

    Leader: (Warrior), you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have received excellent training from (former mentor), and you have shown yourself to be (quality) and (quality). You will be the mentor of (apprentice), and I expect you to pass on all you know to (apprentice). The mentor touches noses with the apprentice, and the Clan greets the new apprentice by calling out their name.

    An apprenticeship usually lasts six moons or more. Once a mentor is satisfied with their apprentice's progress and skills, they recommend them to the leader of the Clan. Then, the apprentice must pass an assessment, in which their abilities as a warrior are checked. In cases when the apprentice has just made an important contribution to the Clan, the leader may decide that there is no need for an assessment.

    If the Clan leader is satisfied, they call a Clan meeting and call the apprentice forward. The following words are used, by tradition:

    Leader: I, (Leader), leader of (Name)Clan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Leader: (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life? Apprentice: I do. Leader: Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. (Apprentice), from this moment on you will be known as (new warrior name). StarClan honors your (virtues), and we welcome you as a full warrior of (Clan). The leader rests their muzzle on the apprentice's head, and the former apprentice licks the leader's shoulder.[8] The rest of the Clan then greets the new warrior by calling them by their new name.[9] The warrior will sit a silent vigil guarding the camp that night,[10] unless that is not possible.

(He/she) has trained hard to understand the ways of a medicine cat, and with your help (he/she) will serve (his/her) Clan for many moons. (Apprentice), do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between Clan and Clan and to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life? Apprentice: I do.

    An aging warrior, queen, deputy, or medicine cat may retire as an elder by their own initiative when they feel they can no longer help the Clan efficiently. If the Clan leader feels that it is time, they may encourage a Clanmate to retire. A Clan leader may retire themselves if they are no longer able to lead. A cat may also retire if they are hindered from serving their Clan through old age and its effects, illness, or injury. A cat who wishes to retire reports their decision to the Clan leader, who calls a Clan meeting and addresses the retiring cat:

    Leader: ...Is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders? Clan member: It is. Leader: Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given to us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest. An elder ceremony may not always follow the same pattern. Some leaders may hold a less formal ceremony. In some cases, the Clan leader may mention certain virtues with which the retiring cat contributed to their Clan, such as loyalty, wisdom, and courage. Accordingly, leaders may address retiring cats a little differently:

    Leader: ...(Clan) thanks you for your loyalty and courage. You have served your Clan well, and we hope that your days in the elders' den are peaceful. Your stories and wisdom will still have a place in the Clan, and we will continue to learn from you. At the end of the ceremony, the Clan will call out the retired cat's name, and the new elder will move to the elders' den. An elder may receive a completely different name with a renaming ceremony, rather than keeping their warrior or medicine cat name. A Clan leader who retires will assume their warrior name once again and surrender leadership to their deputy.

    The new leader goes to the Moonstone (or Moonpool) with the Clan's medicine cat. After touching the stone (or drinking from the pool), the new leader cannot move for a short period of time, because their old life is being ripped away so they can receive nine new ones. Upon awakening, cats of StarClan come down from Silverpelt. Nine cats, normally ones who were significant during the new leader's life or the Clan's history, although this is not always the case, give them their nine lives with these words:

    Life giver: (Touches nose to the top of the new leader's head) With this life, I give you (gift). Use it well (to, in, as, for, etc.) (use of gift). When all of the lives have been given, normally the previous leader says these words: Previous leader: I hail you by your new name, [original prefix]star. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of [the Clan they lead]. Defend it well; care for young and old; honor your ancestors and the traditions of the warrior code; live each life with pride and dignity.

    Often, after all the lives are given, the previous leader usually conducts the coronation for the new leader. However, sometimes the previous leader does not speak at the ceremony, or it is unknown if they are actually present, and another cat will conduct the coronation for the new leader - often the last cat to give them a life, but it also can be performed by the entirety of the amount of StarClan cats known to be present in the ceremony. Just as the forest-cats would call a warrior by their new name, the StarClan cats acclaim the new leader. After the ceremony, the new leader is not allowed to tell any cat what happened during the ceremony, with the exception of the medicine cat. Each of the lives normally give the new leader a great deal of pain as a sign to ready them for the hard work it normally will be to lead their Clan. However, certain lives, depending on the gift. Getting nine lives does not necessarily mean that a leader will live longer, but they can survive certain accidents or injuries that would normally claim the life of a cat. However, they cannot survive if they have major injuries. If a leader no longer wishes to be the leader, they must go to the Moonstone/Moonpool to revoke all but one life, so their deputy may receive their full nine lives. In rare cases, a cat chosen to be leader that has already died may be taken to the Moonstone/Moonpool to be revived by StarClan. The revived cat only receives eight lives, as they had already used up one of their lives prior to the ceremony.

    The Moonpool is located upstream of the stream that marks the MoonClan and SunClan border. It is situated at the bottom of steep stone hollow guarded by thorn bushes with moss-covered rocks. One side is a sheer cliff with moss and fern. Water bubbles from the cleft half-way up that feeds into a small pool below that glitters with starshine at night. The waterfall churns the water so it never stays still, and it sends spray across the rocks where it hits. The edge of the hollow and opposite of the waterfall is a narrow rocky path that spirals down to the pool and is lined with ancient paw prints of the Ancients. The top of the hollow is lined with bushes, and there is a hazel bush is rooted in the rock face near the waterfall. There is an underground stream leading out of the pool, which flows into the lake and the stream that borders TerraClan and BrineClan. The Moonpool is capable of freezing, though it has only once frozen completely through.Meltwater from the mountains can also slightly flood the Moonpool. There is an entrance to the Moonpool from the Dark Forest that only spirits can enter. The entrance lies underneath a large tree alone in a clearing. Its branches touch rippling water instead of dark sky. The tree's scent is fresh unlike the stench of death like the rest of the afterlife. Cats must climb the tall tree and then swim through the Moonpool to reach the living world.

    A Gathering is a peaceful meeting of the Clans on the night of a full moon. As said in the warrior code, there is a truce, which forbids fighting during the Gathering. It is considered a great honor to be chosen by a Clan leader to go to a Gathering. In the forest, this meeting was held at Fourtrees. A circle of large trees in SunClan territory with large boulders in the middle. On Gatherings, Clan leaders announce current affairs and significant events within their respective Clans, such as the appointment of new apprentices, warriors, and deputies, the deaths, and births of cats, and the retirement of cats. They also use this time, if necessary, to ask for help from others. Warriors use this chance to meet their friends from other Clans and exchange information and stories. Many cats will use a Gathering to try to determine the strength and weakness of another Clan. Clan leaders hold Gatherings to share news with the other Clans, or to discuss changes to Clan life, such as additions to the warrior code or new customs, or threats that affect all the Clans. Gatherings are meant for meeting new cats, but not to share Clan weaknesses and strengths. When the moon is full, the Gathering begins. The start of the Gathering marks a time of truce between the four Clans. If the truce is broken, StarClan will send clouds to cover the moon, signaling their displeasure. Should this happen, the Gathering ends and each Clan returns to their respecting territories. It is possible for leaders to call Gatherings, known as emergency Gatherings, to share news that is very important with the Clans. The Gathering is held on the night of the full moon because it is the only time that the moon is bright enough to see everything and everyone. If clouds cover the moon for days leading up to the Gathering, that moon's Gathering will be skipped. The leader, the deputy, the medicine cat and their apprentice, if they have one, several warriors, apprentices, queens, and elders participate from each Clan. If a leader cannot attend, the deputy will speak on behalf of their Clan. Once arrived at the Gathering territory, the leaders sit on a designated high spot (i.e: the Great Rock or Great Oak) along with the other leaders where they can be seen and heard well while talking to the warriors and to each other. Deputies sit close by. A yowl by a Clan leader is the signal to start the meeting. It is considered to be disrespectful if any other cat speaks from atop the leader's spot, unless specifically asked. As decreed by StarClan, the nights of the Gatherings are a time of peace. If there is any violence, StarClan sends a cloud to cover the moon signifying their displeasure; usually the Gathering ends if this happens. After the leaders finish sharing their news, the Clans often mingle or share-tongues before leaving.

    Chest infections: Whitecough and greencough are the most common chest infections known to the Clan cats. Whitecough is the milder form, but if untreated, it can develop into the much more severe greencough. Cats usually catch it during leaf-fall and leaf-bare, and sometimes it develops into large-scale epidemics. It can be fatal for elders and kits, and it has claimed the lives of many cats. It spreads quickly and is highly contagious. Cats with greencough have white patches in their throat. Catmint is the most effective treatment for greencough. If fevers accompany the cough, tansy or borage is used as well. Poisonings: Poisoning is the ingestion of a substance that causes harm to the body, such as; eating or drinking poisonous substances or plants such as deathberries. Kits are the ones who usually fall victim to this, being curious and unaware of the danger. Eating poisoned or rotten prey or drinking tainted water. Inhaling too much smoke from a fire. Or being bitten by a venomous animal such as a snake. If only a small quantity of poison is ingested, the cat usually just receives a bellyache, but larger amounts can cause death. Medicine cats can induce vomiting with yarrow leaves to force their patients to expel ingested poison, while mild bellyaches can be treated with watermint, chervil root, or juniper. If a cat has been severely poisoned, they may become unconscious for a length of time. Loss of sensory perception: A cat may lose their eyesight or hearing due to old age, or from accidents and infections, or birth defects. These conditions usually end their career as a warrior, as they cannot hunt or fight efficiently, and must retire as elders. Kits born with defects usually die young, unless they have special skills compensating for it. Kits that are white with blue eyes have a higher chance of being born deaf. Joint aches: A condition usually associated with elders, the joints gradually degenerating with age, causing pain and difficulty to move. Damp environments can cause the appearance of this condition, so apprentices must make sure that the moss they gather for bedding is completely dry. It is usually treated using daisy leaves or juniper berries. Toothache: A toothache is caused by a cracked tooth, cavities, or an infection in the mouth. Alder bark is used to soothe the pain. Fever: Fever is an abnormally high temperature of the body. It is not a disease in itself, but it usually signs the presence of an infection, such as greencough or an infected wound. If needed, it can be treated with feverfew and borage. Chills: Chills are mostly associated with cold weather or being submerged in cold water for a long period of time. Although this condition is mild and is not a disease. Kits and elders are more at risk of dying when they get a chill. Licking a cat's fur the wrong way gets the blood flowing again. Feverfew is a good remedy. Sprains: Sprains are injuries to ligaments of a joint, caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. It causes severe pain and decreased ability to move the joint. The cat must rest for several days. Joint dislocation: Joint dislocation is the displacement of a bone from its normal joint. Medicine cats treat this condition by first feeding the patient poppy seeds to make them sleepy so they don't feel it as much, though they may not to keep the patient awake if they suffered head injuries. Medicine cats then force the limb back into the joint and while it is very painful in the moment, it is temporary. The injured cat will be able to use their limb right after, though the muscles may need time to heal properly if they were torn. Medicine cats learn the placement of bone structures by studying prey skeletons. Cracked pads: The paw pads may crack while walking long distances on hard surfaces, or due to cold weather. Elders are especially prone to this condition. It is treated with a poultice of coltsfoot or yarrow. Dock leaf poultices are also used to cool cracked pads. Broken bones: A broken bone is usually the result of an accident, such as falling down from a high place. Cats most often break their legs, and while medicine cats try to bind the bone with cobwebs or a stick and leaves making a makeshift cast, the injury usually results in the cat remaining disabled for the rest of their life. Only a few of these disabled cats survive. A more severe injury is when a cat breaks their backbone. This results in the cat being unable to feel or move parts of their body. If the break is bad enough the cat will be killed on or shortly after impact. Burns: Besides wounds, burns also cause a cat's fur to be singed or burnt away. The fur usually grows back in a moon, however, if the burn is severe enough, the resulting infection can prevent fur growth.

    In the clans, the naming of cats follows a certain pattern. Every cat has a name to be identified by, and they call each other by their given names at birth. It is up to the mother to decide the names of the kits. In a Clan, the name of a new kit is given with the suffix -kit at the end. The names of Clan cats are constructed from two words (for example Bramble+Claw or Squirrel+Flight). Both of these words pertain to things or notions known to the Clan cats, and usually describe the appearance and/or the personality of the cat.

    The first part (prefix) is usually given by the kit's parents upon its birth. The names can be of the following: Pertaining to the kit's appearance (Squirrel- for fluffy tail, Blossom- for patches that look like fallen petals, Bumble- for stripes similar to a bumblebee's) Or it can be in honor of another cat or ancestor. Some event pertaining to the birth or life of the kit. Other, seemingly unrelated to either.

    Kits, apprentices and leaders have -kit, -paw and -star respectively as the second part (suffix) of their names by tradition. Like example- Whitekit, Whitepaw, Whitestar. The suffix of warrior and medicine cat names are assigned by the Clan leader (or medicine cat, respectively), though they (or in some cases one of their relatives) can request a specific name for themselves, if they wish.

    The following notions are generally not used in Clan names: -star, -kit and -paw are reserved as leader, kit, and apprentice suffixes. Terra-, Brine-, Sun-, and Moon- cannot are reserved names from the Clan's original founders.

    So no, you cannot have a names like- Starstar, Kitkit, or Pawpaw. That also includes names that start with existing clan's names.

    Queens will usually name their kit based off things and phenomenon they'll see in their natural habitat. For exmaple- Frogkit, Bouncekit, Ripplekit, or Snowkit.
