Meet Stormclan
Since you guys wanted to see me play with Birchclan's future neighbors, let me introduce you to Stormclan. Both clans were built using a clan generator, and that generator gave two traits to describe the clan. Stormclan is the Nasty and Dainty.
They live the closest to a river, as well as to the moon ring, a ring of stones where cats go to connect with Starclan. These cats have a reputation for stealing prey, and being rather hostile to outsiders.
Stormclan's leader is the 52 moon old Nightstar, a rather adventurous tom. He and his mate Rainstone have 3 children in total, two of which are apprentices still.
The deputy of Stormclan is 41 moon old Wigeonblaze. I swear this clan is all torties and black cats. Wigeonblaze is the mother of the oldest apprentice in the clan, and the only other apprentice outside Nightstar's kits. The father of her only kit is unknown, however.
If it weren't leafbare in game, I wouldn't be sending all the cats to cas for screenshots.
Anyway, Stormclan's healer(med cat) is 91 moon old Blackbriar, a molly with very thin black fur and a no nonsense attitude. With the molly steadily approaching her 100th moon alive, she's thinking about taking up an apprentice once any new kits reach 6 moons of age.
Now, on to the warriors.
First is 69 moon Noonwatcher, a rather lazy senior warrior with a love for helping care for kits, despite having none himself. He's almost as excited as the expectant queens for the future kits to be born.
Next is 52 moon old Garlicbriar. She is Nightstar's sister, and the only pure white cat while her brother and father are black cats.
After Garlicbriar is 42 moon old Tansyfang.
And her sister, 42 moon old Rainstone.
Next is Wigeonblaze's sister Rowanface.
The youngest of the warriors is Nightstar and Rainstone's only son, Bitterwish. He looks almost identical to his mother, except for a patch of dark fur on his back.
Now for the apprentices.
The oldest apprentice, at 9 moons old, is Marigoldpaw. He is the son of the deputy and an unknown tom. Marigoldpaw has heard many a rumor that his father was some rogue or loner outside the clans, or worse... a Bugclan warrior.... While the young tom doesn't want to believe his mother had a relationship with their enemies, there aren't really many toms in the clan to begin with. His mentor is Nightstar.
The other two apprentices are 7 moon old Lighpaw and her sister Rookpaw. Lightpaw's mentor is Tansyfang.
While Rookpaw's mentor is Rowanface. Rookpaw was born rather weak and small, the runt of her litter. That, mixed with the expectations that come from being the kit of the leader himself, put quite a bit of stress upon the dark molly.
Next are the queens.
First is 42 moon old Brindlefang. She is the sister of Tansyfang and Rainstone.
The other expectant queen is 36 moon old Daffodilear. Neither queen is too willing to share who might be the fathers of their litters, knowing how the clan views outside cats. Daffodilear knows all too well how outsiders are treated, having been invited into the clan by the deputy Wigeonblaze. However, she has hope that her mate might be invited to join the clan as well before her kits are born.
Finally, we have the two Stormclan elders.
126 moon old Slugfur, the father of Nightstar and Garlicbriar
And 121 moon old Spiderleg, the father of Tansyfang, Rainstone, and Brindlefang.
That's everyone currently in Stormclan at the start of me playing with them. Next post will be Bugclan.

hizya, just wanted to tell you that i ADORE your art, and au's, and auushsh
it really makes me wanna share my own fan clans / develop them more !! if i may be a lil self-indulgent, these are quick overviews of 'em ( they are based loosely on the west coast of america, specifically california and its coastal redwoods ) !
ridgeclan live on rocky cliffs that mostly overlook the other territories, and make their camp inside the crags in the rock. they're the most reclusive, yet are amazing allies, they have a righteous upbringing that makes them defend those in the right.
redclan make their home in the trunks and underbrush of a large, shadowy redwood forest, falls into a sandy beach area. they are known to be the most brash, but are very inclusive, if you can prove yourself, that is.
birchclan has their camp in an abandoned tree house, a big one too, that has multiple bridges that connect to other small houses. while redclans forest is ancient, shadowy, and thick with underbrush, birchclans forest is younger, with enough space between the foliage and branches that dapple the grass below. at their best, they can seem confident and wily, at their worst, they're smug and apathetic.
streamclan is a lot like riverclan, but wayy more playful and inquisitive. some would even say the can is full of air heads... i never knew what else to add to that clan, agshsgs
and the last would be the mysterious cavernclan, that live in the cove that can be found for into the beach. they stopped attending gathering for a WHILE and there are rumors of what's going on with them.
annnnd that's it! the plot would've kicked off at the height of a california drought and heatwave, a stranger arriving in ridgeclan, and unfurling the mystery with cavernclan through the eyes of a ridgeclan apprentice + the friends they'd slowly make in other clans.
OH MY GOD I LOVE THISSSS
as a Californian who loves going up to the mountains I m literally obsessed.
Im thinking about making my own clans in a California inspired territory at some point!!!
Also bringing in our drought and heatwave as a plot line is great it would be super interesting to see how that would effect things!
i rarely ever see water when I go hiking these days its so dryyyyyy,,, well except for rn bec we got hit with like 10 yrs worth of rain in like the span of 2 weeks heh

Cautionary Tale: ??
Story:
The first moon was Oakkit, a little thing that Cherrystar had found on the side of a Thunderpath, and took great care of until she got her ‘vision’ of her Clan failing. She had killed Oakkit, then lied and said she didn’t have a clue what had happened to him.
Moons passed, and finally, Beetlewhisker announced proudly that she was expecting kits. Three little bundles of fluff quickly reduced to two as Cherrystar sacrificed the eldest--Beetlekit--to Starclan, hoping for blessings.
Her pleas went unanswered, and she lost a life to greencough at the tender age of just thirty-four moons. Whispers scurried between the warriors, and soon, the two bundles of fluff at Beetlewhisker’s belly were reduced again, leaving only little Almondkit, spared for being the runt of the litter.
Then her own kits were born, at the same time that Applemouse had brought a litter of four home. He glared at the leader, unsheathing his claws as she drew near. He had held his sister, Beetlewhisker, as she had cried, and knew exactly what Cherrystar had planned for one unlucky kit.
However, no one expected that she would turn on little Curlkit--her own son. She had looked up at Applemouse with blood coating her muzzle, and said, in a happy voice, “Since I’m leader, it makes sense to send my kits as sacrifices.”
She stuck to this rhetoric as the next moon passed, and her other son--Murkkit-- was offered up to Starclan.
The next moon, as she readied herself for the next sacrifice, she was mauled by a badger, thus saving the life of Applemouse’s kit, Stagkkit. When she came back to life, she looked thrilled. “They said that my life was a good sacrifice!” she had crooned, crouching over Stagkit to keep them safe from the frigid morning wind.
That leaf-bare, on patrol, Cherrystar froze to death, only reviving when she was thawed in the new-leaf sun.
She staggered back to camp, grinning, and scared half the camp to death.
Her grin faded when she learned that Stagkit, by then Staglake, had been killed by a badger.
She sat vigil for two days, only snapping out of her trance when she heard Snailbite talking about how she was expecting kits.
The leader perked up, but didn’t say a word, until Snailbite gave birth a moon later to a pair of healthy kits. That pair, unfortunately, soon divided, as Snailbite found poor Coniferkit strung up on the brambles above the nursery.
She had tackled Cherrystar, who was bewildered as to why she could possibly be faulted, until she finally figured it out.
“I was making sure that Starclan won’t take the other one!” she mewed. “They only don’t take lives when they get fed. So I feed them!” It took the combined efforts of four other cats to pry Snailbite off of Cherrystar, and the leader was promptly confined to her den for three moons, in an attempt to punish her.
With the kit-killer locked away, two new litters were taken into the Clan, much to Cherrystar’s horror.
“We can’t have this many kits without a death!” She wailed. “Starclan will kill us all!”
She was ignored, but many cats unconsciously relaxed when Heathpelt was found dead on the thunderpath.
When she was released from her den, she was put under guard, but no cat can keep their eyes open all the time.
This time, another of Beetlewhisker’s kits was killed. Minnowkit, who had gone to the medicine den for a bee-sting in her paw, only to be smothered by moss by Cherrystar, who had hidden under a bed of the same moss.
Back in her den she went.
The pattern continued.
She was let out under heavy guard, only to slip away and throttle Hatchkit in their sleep.
Odds changed, however, when the fresh-kill was poisoned, and Applemouse-- Cherrystar’s anchor to whatever sanity she had left- -died, just as Cherrystar learned that she was expecting her second litter of kittens.
She had called a Clan meeting, something she had never done before, and announced that, to honour the nine cats lost to poison, there would be no sacrifices for nine more moons. Her face looked pained as she said it.
The next day, a patrol found her mortally wounded on the border with Birchclan, but they brought her back to camp, not wanting a repeat incident of her frozen corpse impression.
Cherrystar had three kits a moon later, and--predictably--was kept under strict watch to make sure she took care of her litter.
But tragedy struck again when four more cats were killed in a rogue ambush, and Cherrystar reluctantly added four more moons to the count.
When Snailbite and Snipkit died from poisoning, Cherrystar’s wails were loud enough to wake the surrounding Clans, who individually sent cats to check on the situation. Once the delegations were gone, Cherrystar showed some of her old fighting spirit, only to be kept in check and away from the kits by Gravy, who got a notch in his ear for his troubles
Her wounds from her fight with Gravy soon festered, and she lost another life to infection.
Soon after this, tradgedy struck the Clan again, when a patrol of four, including Cherrystar’s children, Autumnpaw and Egretpaw, were swept away in a flood, bringing the total number of cats in the Clan down to twelve.
Despite how low Clan numbers were, when Minnowfin had a litter of three, Cherrystar didn’t hesitate to sacrifice Skykit, citing all the recent disasters.
This seemed to work, to the horror of Cherrystar’s Clanmates. And when a litter was left with the Clan, their adoptive mother, Garnet, willingly offered one of them up for Cherrystar to kill.
The trend continued when Crouchsun, who previously had vehemently opposed the killing, followed Garnet’s example.
Gillpelt also willingly gave up a kit, eyes wide as she comforted the crying Ashenkit.
However, Cherrystar merely stared coldly at her. “You aren’t doing this for the greater good.” She had hissed. She had lashed out with unsheathed claws, and Ashenkit could only watch in horror as she watched her mother’s body drop.
The leader walked outside, taking a breath, only to lose another life as a hawk swooped down for the kill.
Another poisoned instance of fresh-kill killed off Coastivy and Cicadakit,
A few moons later, more poison killed off Cicadakit’s parent, Wheatblotch.
Cherrystar mourned the deaths, only to be shocked into action when a new warrior, Spiderpounce, left a stolen Birchclan kit outside her den for sacrifice.
Spiderpounce later took things up a notch when he killed an elder to spare a kit being sacrificed that moon.
This seemed to work, as no disasters befell the Clan for twenty-four moons.
However, when disaster struck, Cherrystar acted as they always had.
The next moon, a Birchclan apprentice took another of Cherrystar’s lives in a border skirmish.
A few moons later, a bout of whitecough took another life, and Cherrystar decided to increase the rate of sacrifices to one per moon.
However, this was stopped when the whitecough worsened into greencough.

Prologue
EdenClan. The strongest Clan on their side of the Thunderpath. The lone survivor of the valley brawl. The open arms of the dangerous forest. But it was soon to only be remembered by their ancestors who walk the stars of Silverpelt.
Tricklequill sighed, the past few moons hadn’t been a good one for their Clan. It had all started with a kit. A border patrol had found the little thing and brought it back to camp to be seen by the medicine cats, but nobody could have known the trouble this would cause. It had started out as kittencough, they would hack and cough all day long, no amount of catmint seemed to help their illness. Then it started to spread.
Seven moons later their Clan of two-hundred-and-thirteen had dwindled down to fifty. This wouldn’t have been too bad if it weren’t for the warriors. None of them had ever been in line to become the leader or the deputy so now arguments broke out, night and day, about who should lead the wondrous EdenClan. But these arguments went nowhere.
Tricklequill was getting older, he didn’t have many moons left in him and all he wanted was for this problem to be resolved. But he could’ve never foreseen what was to come. Silentpaw, a long furred tortoiseshell she-cat, had pointed out to the arguing warriors that there were the same amount of potential leaders as there were medicine cats. From this point onwards the collapse of EdenClan was in the very close future, and nothing could be done to stop this.
The eldest of the medicine cats, Sandflame, seemed tired as she arranged which cats would go into what Clan. But there were only four elders, not too much to worry about there, that’s why Tricklequill believed her stress to be about what was to become of the orphaned kits. There were fifteen of them, some of them barely opening their eyes, and others bouncing around waiting impatiently for the day they would become an apprentice. It was a miracle that so many of them were able to survive the epidemic that would usually be fatal to cats their age, but there was now the problem of what Clan they would call home in the future.
Tricklequill could only watch in dismay as arguments broke out between Sandflame and the new Clan leaders. None of them wanted to take in cats that would cause them trouble, but the medicine cat was adamant that if the weaker were not taken in then they wouldn’t get their fancy new Clans.
But eventually the problems were resolved. EdenClan was to be no more, in its place would be AspenClan, BirchClan, MapleClan, PineClan and SageClan, led by Paleleaf, Wishspeckle, Doedapple, Fadedfeather and Blizzardspeck, respectfully.
Tricklequill could only hope that these Clans could live up to the expectation of EdenClan. His home.
