AstralClan-Woven From Stars (Semi-literate RP 4+ lines)

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Introduction

There was once, long ago before the world was as we know it now, a Spirit with a glorious light who spent her days running away from those who pursued her. The Lost were drawn to those who exuded such light and—once they became monsters beyond all hope of saving—they hunted it endlessly. To try and devour the pure and cleanse themselves of their madness.

... This Spirit hid on the mountain, stuck on the very peak by the Lost monsters circling below waiting for her to try and escape. She paced on the mountain for thirty days and tried to find her way to freedom. If she ran down the peak, she would be devoured. If she tried to jump off, she may get a head start, but, in the end, she would perish. There was no way for her to leave this mountain alive. With a wail of hopeless despair, the Spirit hung her head.

... It was then her eyes caught sight of the specks of light below the mountain. They streaked through the dark with monstrosities chasing them relentlessly, but none of them gave up. When one fell behind, others would turn back to distract the Lost monster while the weaker light ran ahead. They were working together...helping each other!

... How could these other spirits, so much smaller and weaker than her, face the monsters when she could not? How could they can fall to despair as she had?

... Their perseverance and hope gave her strength and she rose to her paws with a new determination to free herself. As she re-evaluated her situation, she came to a conclusion. If she could not move down, she would have to go up! With a mighty spring, she leapt upward and tried to snag her claws on the clouds. She fell to the ground with a mighty thud that shook the mountain. With a huff, she rose and leapt again. And again and again and again, each time making it just a little higher. Until, eventually, the Spirit grabbed onto a cloud and pulled herself into the sky. Her light illuminated the chaotic darkness below as she looked down upon the world. The corrupted Lost souls scattered and ran until the light could no longer reach them and the other spirits looked up to her in wonder.

... "My friends, we have spent our whole lives running in fear of those who lurked in the dark," she murmured in the awed silence. "I...I almost gave up and became one of them, but you all gave me hope. It was your strength and compassion for others that made me try, that helped me reach the sky. To repay you, I will weave you a safe place to live in peace out of the darkness we feared so. I will guide you to it when you cannot continue to run from the Lost anymore. I will watch after your families and guard them as best I can until they too join you. From now on, you can rely on my strength and my brilliance. You will never be alone again. I will always be with you."

Customs

.-- Here in AstralClan, each leader rules during a time period called an Era. Each Era is named depending on how the leader wants to rule and will come with its own ideals. Clan members should try to live by these ideals. The current Era, its ideals, and how long it has been that Era will be listed below on this post.
.........Example: The Era of Seeking; Ideals are honesty, curiosity, and logic.

...-- Instead of apprentice evaluations, AstralClan has three distinctly different tests to be passed called the Trials. There is the Body Trial, the Mind Trial, and the Heart Trial. They can be taken at any time towards the end of an apprenticeship and all three must be passed to the mentor's satisfaction. If any of the trials are failed, the ceremony will be delayed and apprentice will have to start over.
.........The Body Trial: This is a basic test of hunting, tracking, and fighting skills necessary for the life of an AstralClan warrior. Any warrior other than the apprentices mentor can judge this trial and they can conduct it however they see fit.
.........The Mind Trial: The apprentice must escape the labyrinth listed in the territory within two days time. This trial tests your reasoning and strategic skills and shows how the apprentice would act when faced with extreme duress. If the apprentice can not make it out in time or they give up, their mentor will guide them back to safety.
.........The Heart Trial: This trial is a subtle one and is actually tested the entire length of the apprenticeship. It is how you work within the clan and how well you uphold the warrior code and the ideals of the current Era.

...-- There are two special secondary ranks some warriors and apprentices can take, a Lorekeeper or a Mystic. Lorekeepers are a few chosen cats who are taught the art of storytelling and are responsible for remembering all the past and recent history of the clan, along with their legends and mythology. A Mystic specializes in telling fortunes, whether it be by suggesting love matches, commenting on someone's personality, analyzing the dreams they are told, or by predicting an aspect of the future. They often take part at big gatherings or ceremonies but their skills can be called upon at any time. Each Lorekeeper and Mystic chooses their own apprentice when they feel they are ready to teach one but the admin has to approve them.

...-- StarClan and the Dark Forest do not exist here. Cats who are generally good are said to pass on to a world beyond this one that hides in the night sky. These cats are called the Risen. Medicine cats and leaders can sometimes talk to these cats in their dreams when the barrier between the two worlds is thinnest. Cats who have done terrible things in their lifetime are barred from entering this world and are trapped on the mortal plane. These cats are called the Lost. They sometimes try to terrorize the living and can cause nightmares or feelings of being watched in the darkness.

...-- Every so often, a cat will die a truly noble or heroic death or suffer one that came unfairly or before its time. In these special cases, this spirit may be reincarnated into the next kitten born into AstralClan and given a second chance to live. It is unlikely the kitten will remember anything specific about its previous life but they may retain something unspecific. Like, a cat who may have died from a snakebite might be reincarnated with a fear of snakes. This is extremely rare and the admin has to approve any requests for a character to be reincarnated.

Territory

.The Echo Tunnel –- This was once the temporary camp for strange creature the clan calls Two-Legs, which are tall and hairless creatures that walk on their back paws. They haven't been seen around the mountain in many eras and some cats don't believe they actually existed. These Two-Legs carved large tunnels into the mountain side that lead further than any other cavern. It is a dangerous place with sudden drops, falling rocks, and an abundance of rats, but it does hold one good thing—an unusual skylight tunnel that seems to go on forever called the Silvertrail. When moonlight shines into the tunnel leading down, the embedded stones in the side of the tunnel seem to glow. If you follow the markings left by leaders long before, you can find it. Sleeping there allows one to speak with the Risen. Unfortunately, for the same reason, many of the Lost haunt the other misleading tunnels and often try to lure weak-willed cats astray. This is a an abandoned mine shaft*
...The Black Path –- A cliff side trail full of strange black stones. The Clan call the shining ones coal, and the dull, sharp ones shale. It's easy for cats to be injured on the sharp, slippery rocks and warriors have fallen clear off the mountain in times past. It has little to no cover from birds of prey and is a common nesting ground for snakes. However, many rare herbs not found in the rest of the territory grow in the rich soil under the stones.
...The Falls -- The Falls are a large, clear series of waterfalls that cascade down the mountain into a large pool full of fish. The pool tapers off to form a quick moving river that is difficult to cross. The banks are full of soft, sandy dirt, vibrant moss and vegetation, and smooth stones. Most battle training and practice takes place here to minimize injury. This is also the best fishing hole in the territory. Bears tend to lurk around here in the warmer seasons.
...The Shrouded Forest -- The Shrouded Forest takes up most of the mountain. It is mostly full of pines with a mix of deciduous trees. The trunks grow so tall and close together that the land below is always in shadow. A few stray beams of light can breach the foliage, but the forest is predominantly dark. This is the main hunting spot on the mountain and it also hides the most predators.
...The Prism Pool -- There is rumored to be a tiny, warm pool of water hidden somewhere on the mountains that was blessed by the spirit of the first ever medicine cat. It is said to be nearly perfectly round and incredibly hard to find. The bottom is full of colorful shining stones and the water reflects the stars on a clear night. Legends say that is has healing properties and that the spirits will save a mortally wound cat who enters the pool.
Camp -- Because AstralClan believe that the Risen look after them when the night sky is present, they tend to sleep in the open air under the stars. The clan lives on a series of natural steps carved into the mountain with the cliff edges blocked by boulders and large logs to keep kits away. Dens are formed between boulders and overhangs, covered in dense woven brambles and vines to keep out the cold. The medicine cat's den and the nursery are the only dens the clan will sleep inside of year round. There is a small, trickling water source outside the medicine cat's den. The highest step is where the leader sleeps and holds clan meetings. It overlooks the Stone Labyrinth.
...Stone Labyrinth -- Far below the camp, there is a dark reminder of bloody Eras past. A large, treacherous labyrinth full of pitfalls and dangers is visible from the highest step in camp. Its walls are made by tall, heavy stones and mud-and-branch enforced walls that are difficult to scale. In days long ago, the Clan would watch prisoners, traitors, and trespassers get tossed into the labyrinth with little hope of making it out alive. In recent history, it has been used to test apprentices during the Mind Trials. With careful supervision from along the walls, of course.

8. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger.

9. Apprentices can not leave camp without a warrior unless instructed otherwise. Kits are forbidden from leaving camp.

10. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

11. Killing within the clan is inexcusable and could result in banishment or execution.



... The Medicine Cat Code is as follows:

1. A medicine cat must treat every cat equally and without bias, regardless of bloodline or personal grudges.

2. A medicine cat is forbidden from taking a mate or having kits.

3. A medicine cat apprentice has to be approved by the Risen. They will receive a dream at the Silvertrail if they are allowed to become a medicine cat.

4. All medicine cats must be taught basic hunting and defensive battle moves in case of emergency.

5. At least one medicine cat must travel to the Silvertrail on the night of the Full Moon and of the New Moon.

6. Medicine cats are especially sensitive to the influences of the Risen, as well as the Lost. A medicine cat is not allowed out of camp alone.

Personality: Lynxnight is a headstrong cat. He can be strict and mean, but inside he is a bit fluffball. He is wonderful at fighting, and decent at hunting. | Echowind is really shy. She can get easily embarrassed, and is very clumsy. Once you get to know her, she is the best friend you could ever have.
Crush/Mate: None for both
RP Sample: Willowbreeze was irritated beyond words when she had to go on a hunting patrol with this useless cat. Helping as much as she could, she tried to pretend not to catch that rabbit. Instead, when he was doping around, she ran it straight into his paws. Being irritated by being put with "useless as a mouse" over there, she was even more irritated on watching him brag about is wonderful rabbit. She just wanted to yell at him, "I drove it straight into your paws, you mouse brain!" But if she did, it would just get her in trouble.

Padding through the camp entrance, Willowbreeze didn't even look over her shoulder. She hoped he knew what to do. Take the prey. Put it on the pile. As she carefully placed hers on the pile, she heard mousebrain garble something. She bit back laughter as mousebrain forgot to put the prey down. Hearing him say clear words, it was hard not to congratulate him. But, after processing what mousebrain had said, she tried her beet not to say, "No! You're a mousebrain and I did NOT enjoy today!" But, instead, Willowbreeze said something nice. "I enjoyed it too. It was nice helping someone out for a change. I wouldn't mind if you came with me again." She cheerfully answered. I've been set up, haven't I? She thought, falling apart on the inside.
Other: BOTH CAN BE A MENTOR!

Personality: Lynxnight is a headstrong cat. He can be strict and mean, but inside he is a bit fluffball. He is wonderful at fighting, and decent at hunting. | Echowind is really shy. She can get easily embarrassed, and is very clumsy. Once you get to know her, she is the best friend you could ever have.
Crush/Mate: None for both
RP Sample: Willowbreeze was irritated beyond words when she had to go on a hunting patrol with this useless cat. Helping as much as she could, she tried to pretend not to catch that rabbit. Instead, when he was doping around, she ran it straight into his paws. Being irritated by being put with "useless as a mouse" over there, she was even more irritated on watching him brag about is wonderful rabbit. She just wanted to yell at him, "I drove it straight into your paws, you mouse brain!" But if she did, it would just get her in trouble.

Padding through the camp entrance, Willowbreeze didn't even look over her shoulder. She hoped he knew what to do. Take the prey. Put it on the pile. As she carefully placed hers on the pile, she heard mousebrain garble something. She bit back laughter as mousebrain forgot to put the prey down. Hearing him say clear words, it was hard not to congratulate him. But, after processing what mousebrain had said, she tried her beet not to say, "No! You're a mousebrain and I did NOT enjoy today!" But, instead, Willowbreeze said something nice. "I enjoyed it too. It was nice helping someone out for a change. I wouldn't mind if you came with me again." She cheerfully answered. I've been set up, haven't I? She thought, falling apart on the inside.

Stormfrost blinked her golden yellow eyes open,waking up to an blanket of snow outside of the Medicine Den.The tortoise shelled she-cat stretched out,yawning.She looked around,before noticing that she was running low on Catmint.The Medicine Cat stepped out into the clearing,tredging through the snow.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

(Hello?)

Can Silverpaw be her apprentice?
I don't mind

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

[Herontail]

(Will someone else be Shinepaw's mentor or should Cloverheart be his mentor?)

Shinepaw opened his yellow eyes and yawned. Glancing around, he saw Stormfrost and Cloverheart had woken up. He caught sight of the prey pile, and he realized how hungry be was. If only he could walk over there and eat whenever he wanted, like when he war a kit.

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Silverpaw walked out of the Apprentice den,only to see Shinepaw was already awake."Hi!" She said happily.Her white paws were blending into the snow.

[Herontail]

Shinepaw nearly jumped when he heard Silverpaw's voice, only to calm down. "Oh, hey." he answered in a monotonous voice. "Do you need anything?"

[SIlverheart_the_Warrior]

Shinepaw nearly jumped when he heard Silverpaw's voice, only to calm down. "Oh, hey." he answered in a monotonous voice. "Do you need anything?"
Silverpaw shook her spotted silver gray head,staring over at all the snow."It really snowed,huh?" She said,her light green looking around.The she-cat sat down,her tail curled around her white paws neatly.

[Herontail]

Shinepaw shrugged. "Sure, but that means less prey," he said. He touched the snow with one paw, shivering when he felt it melting. "Plants die when snow comes. Trees discard their own leaves to sleep. Prey don't like it when this happens. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what Cloverheart meant by, 'There'll be less prey since their food runs low at this time.'"

"But after,there are many plants,the trees are covered in leaves,and prey is plentiful!" Silverpaw said,her green eyes shining.Silverpaw liked the winter,because she hunted best during the winter,due to her silver-white pelt.

"I suppose so." Shinepaw said. "I think AstralClan should've caught more prey during LeafFall. We'd have more food and we wouldn't be starving."

Shinepaw turned his head towards Blizzardstar. "I'm sorry, sir." he said in his usual bland voice. "I only got distracted, that's all." Without saying goodbye, he turned his head away from Silverpaw and walked up to Cloverheart.

Introduction

There was once, long ago before the world was as we know it now, a Spirit with a glorious light who spent her days running away from those who pursued her. The Lost were drawn to those who exuded such light and—once they became monsters beyond all hope of saving—they hunted it endlessly. To try and devour the pure and cleanse themselves of their madness.

... This Spirit hid on the mountain, stuck on the very peak by the Lost monsters circling below waiting for her to try and escape. She paced on the mountain for thirty days and tried to find her way to freedom. If she ran down the peak, she would be devoured. If she tried to jump off, she may get a head start, but, in the end, she would perish. There was no way for her to leave this mountain alive. With a wail of hopeless despair, the Spirit hung her head.

... It was then her eyes caught sight of the specks of light below the mountain. They streaked through the dark with monstrosities chasing them relentlessly, but none of them gave up. When one fell behind, others would turn back to distract the Lost monster while the weaker light ran ahead. They were working together...helping each other!

... How could these other spirits, so much smaller and weaker than her, face the monsters when she could not? How could they can fall to despair as she had?

... Their perseverance and hope gave her strength and she rose to her paws with a new determination to free herself. As she re-evaluated her situation, she came to a conclusion. If she could not move down, she would have to go up! With a mighty spring, she leapt upward and tried to snag her claws on the clouds. She fell to the ground with a mighty thud that shook the mountain. With a huff, she rose and leapt again. And again and again and again, each time making it just a little higher. Until, eventually, the Spirit grabbed onto a cloud and pulled herself into the sky. Her light illuminated the chaotic darkness below as she looked down upon the world. The corrupted Lost souls scattered and ran until the light could no longer reach them and the other spirits looked up to her in wonder.

... "My friends, we have spent our whole lives running in fear of those who lurked in the dark," she murmured in the awed silence. "I...I almost gave up and became one of them, but you all gave me hope. It was your strength and compassion for others that made me try, that helped me reach the sky. To repay you, I will weave you a safe place to live in peace out of the darkness we feared so. I will guide you to it when you cannot continue to run from the Lost anymore. I will watch after your families and guard them as best I can until they too join you. From now on, you can rely on my strength and my brilliance. You will never be alone again. I will always be with you."

Customs

.-- Here in AstralClan, each leader rules during a time period called an Era. Each Era is named depending on how the leader wants to rule and will come with its own ideals. Clan members should try to live by these ideals. The current Era, its ideals, and how long it has been that Era will be listed below on this post.
.........Example: The Era of Seeking; Ideals are honesty, curiosity, and logic.

...-- Instead of apprentice evaluations, AstralClan has three distinctly different tests to be passed called the Trials. There is the Body Trial, the Mind Trial, and the Heart Trial. They can be taken at any time towards the end of an apprenticeship and all three must be passed to the mentor's satisfaction. If any of the trials are failed, the ceremony will be delayed and apprentice will have to start over.
.........The Body Trial: This is a basic test of hunting, tracking, and fighting skills necessary for the life of an AstralClan warrior. Any warrior other than the apprentices mentor can judge this trial and they can conduct it however they see fit.
.........The Mind Trial: The apprentice must escape the labyrinth listed in the territory within two days time. This trial tests your reasoning and strategic skills and shows how the apprentice would act when faced with extreme duress. If the apprentice can not make it out in time or they give up, their mentor will guide them back to safety.
.........The Heart Trial: This trial is a subtle one and is actually tested the entire length of the apprenticeship. It is how you work within the clan and how well you uphold the warrior code and the ideals of the current Era.

...-- There are two special secondary ranks some warriors and apprentices can take, a Lorekeeper or a Mystic. Lorekeepers are a few chosen cats who are taught the art of storytelling and are responsible for remembering all the past and recent history of the clan, along with their legends and mythology. A Mystic specializes in telling fortunes, whether it be by suggesting love matches, commenting on someone's personality, analyzing the dreams they are told, or by predicting an aspect of the future. They often take part at big gatherings or ceremonies but their skills can be called upon at any time. Each Lorekeeper and Mystic chooses their own apprentice when they feel they are ready to teach one but the admin has to approve them.

...-- StarClan and the Dark Forest do not exist here. Cats who are generally good are said to pass on to a world beyond this one that hides in the night sky. These cats are called the Risen. Medicine cats and leaders can sometimes talk to these cats in their dreams when the barrier between the two worlds is thinnest. Cats who have done terrible things in their lifetime are barred from entering this world and are trapped on the mortal plane. These cats are called the Lost. They sometimes try to terrorize the living and can cause nightmares or feelings of being watched in the darkness.

...-- Every so often, a cat will die a truly noble or heroic death or suffer one that came unfairly or before its time. In these special cases, this spirit may be reincarnated into the next kitten born into AstralClan and given a second chance to live. It is unlikely the kitten will remember anything specific about its previous life but they may retain something unspecific. Like, a cat who may have died from a snakebite might be reincarnated with a fear of snakes. This is extremely rare and the admin has to approve any requests for a character to be reincarnated.

Territory

.The Echo Tunnel –- This was once the temporary camp for strange creature the clan calls Two-Legs, which are tall and hairless creatures that walk on their back paws. They haven't been seen around the mountain in many eras and some cats don't believe they actually existed. These Two-Legs carved large tunnels into the mountain side that lead further than any other cavern. It is a dangerous place with sudden drops, falling rocks, and an abundance of rats, but it does hold one good thing—an unusual skylight tunnel that seems to go on forever called the Silvertrail. When moonlight shines into the tunnel leading down, the embedded stones in the side of the tunnel seem to glow. If you follow the markings left by leaders long before, you can find it. Sleeping there allows one to speak with the Risen. Unfortunately, for the same reason, many of the Lost haunt the other misleading tunnels and often try to lure weak-willed cats astray. This is a an abandoned mine shaft*
...The Black Path –- A cliff side trail full of strange black stones. The Clan call the shining ones coal, and the dull, sharp ones shale. It's easy for cats to be injured on the sharp, slippery rocks and warriors have fallen clear off the mountain in times past. It has little to no cover from birds of prey and is a common nesting ground for snakes. However, many rare herbs not found in the rest of the territory grow in the rich soil under the stones.
...The Falls -- The Falls are a large, clear series of waterfalls that cascade down the mountain into a large pool full of fish. The pool tapers off to form a quick moving river that is difficult to cross. The banks are full of soft, sandy dirt, vibrant moss and vegetation, and smooth stones. Most battle training and practice takes place here to minimize injury. This is also the best fishing hole in the territory. Bears tend to lurk around here in the warmer seasons.
...The Shrouded Forest -- The Shrouded Forest takes up most of the mountain. It is mostly full of pines with a mix of deciduous trees. The trunks grow so tall and close together that the land below is always in shadow. A few stray beams of light can breach the foliage, but the forest is predominantly dark. This is the main hunting spot on the mountain and it also hides the most predators.
...The Prism Pool -- There is rumored to be a tiny, warm pool of water hidden somewhere on the mountains that was blessed by the spirit of the first ever medicine cat. It is said to be nearly perfectly round and incredibly hard to find. The bottom is full of colorful shining stones and the water reflects the stars on a clear night. Legends say that is has healing properties and that the spirits will save a mortally wound cat who enters the pool.
Camp -- Because AstralClan believe that the Risen look after them when the night sky is present, they tend to sleep in the open air under the stars. The clan lives on a series of natural steps carved into the mountain with the cliff edges blocked by boulders and large logs to keep kits away. Dens are formed between boulders and overhangs, covered in dense woven brambles and vines to keep out the cold. The medicine cat's den and the nursery are the only dens the clan will sleep inside of year round. There is a small, trickling water source outside the medicine cat's den. The highest step is where the leader sleeps and holds clan meetings. It overlooks the Stone Labyrinth.
...Stone Labyrinth -- Far below the camp, there is a dark reminder of bloody Eras past. A large, treacherous labyrinth full of pitfalls and dangers is visible from the highest step in camp. Its walls are made by tall, heavy stones and mud-and-branch enforced walls that are difficult to scale. In days long ago, the Clan would watch prisoners, traitors, and trespassers get tossed into the labyrinth with little hope of making it out alive. In recent history, it has been used to test apprentices during the Mind Trials. With careful supervision from along the walls, of course.

Warrior & Medicine Cat Codes

The Warrior Code is as follows:

1. The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.

2. Defend your Clan, even with your life. The safety of the Clan comes before the life of one cat.

3. Elders, queens, and kits must be fed first.

4. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

5. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

6. A deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled. The Clan will vote between the two available deputies.

7. After the death or retirement of a deputy, a new deputy must be chosen before moon-high.

8. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger.

9. Apprentices can not leave camp without a warrior unless instructed otherwise. Kits are forbidden from leaving camp.

10. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

11. Killing within the clan is inexcusable and could result in banishment or execution.



... The Medicine Cat Code is as follows:

1. A medicine cat must treat every cat equally and without bias, regardless of bloodline or personal grudges.

2. A medicine cat is forbidden from taking a mate or having kits.

3. A medicine cat apprentice has to be approved by the Risen. They will receive a dream at the Silvertrail if they are allowed to become a medicine cat.

4. All medicine cats must be taught basic hunting and defensive battle moves in case of emergency.

5. At least one medicine cat must travel to the Silvertrail on the night of the Full Moon and of the New Moon.

6. Medicine cats are especially sensitive to the influences of the Risen, as well as the Lost. A medicine cat is not allowed out of camp alone.

Each Lorekeeper and Mystic chooses their own apprentice when they feel they are ready to teach one but the admin has to approve them.

...-- StarClan and the Dark Forest do not exist here. Cats who are generally good are said to pass on to a world beyond this one that hides in the night sky. These cats are called the Risen. Medicine cats and leaders can sometimes talk to these cats in their dreams when the barrier between the two worlds is thinnest. Cats who have done terrible things in their lifetime are barred from entering this world and are trapped on the mortal plane. These cats are called the Lost. They sometimes try to terrorize the living and can cause nightmares or feelings of being watched in the darkness.

...-- Every so often, a cat will die a truly noble or heroic death or suffer one that came unfairly or before its time. In these special cases, this spirit may be reincarnated into the next kitten born into AstralClan and given a second chance to live. It is unlikely the kitten will remember anything specific about its previous life but they may retain something unspecific. Like, a cat who may have died from a snakebite might be reincarnated with a fear of snakes. This is extremely rare and the admin has to approve any requests for a character to be reincarnated.

Territory

.The Echo Tunnel –- This was once the temporary camp for strange creature the clan calls Two-Legs, which are tall and hairless creatures that walk on their back paws. They haven't been seen around the mountain in many eras and some cats don't believe they actually existed. These Two-Legs carved large tunnels into the mountain side that lead further than any other cavern. It is a dangerous place with sudden drops, falling rocks, and an abundance of rats, but it does hold one good thing—an unusual skylight tunnel that seems to go on forever called the Silvertrail. When moonlight shines into the tunnel leading down, the embedded stones in the side of the tunnel seem to glow. If you follow the markings left by leaders long before, you can find it. Sleeping there allows one to speak with the Risen. Unfortunately, for the same reason, many of the Lost haunt the other misleading tunnels and often try to lure weak-willed cats astray. This is a an abandoned mine shaft*
...The Black Path –- A cliff side trail full of strange black stones. The Clan call the shining ones coal, and the dull, sharp ones shale. It's easy for cats to be injured on the sharp, slippery rocks and warriors have fallen clear off the mountain in times past. It has little to no cover from birds of prey and is a common nesting ground for snakes. However, many rare herbs not found in the rest of the territory grow in the rich soil under the stones.
...The Falls -- The Falls are a large, clear series of waterfalls that cascade down the mountain into a large pool full of fish. The pool tapers off to form a quick moving river that is difficult to cross. The banks are full of soft, sandy dirt, vibrant moss and vegetation, and smooth stones. Most battle training and practice takes place here to minimize injury. This is also the best fishing hole in the territory. Bears tend to lurk around here in the warmer seasons.
...The Shrouded Forest -- The Shrouded Forest takes up most of the mountain. It is mostly full of pines with a mix of deciduous trees. The trunks grow so tall and close together that the land below is always in shadow. A few stray beams of light can breach the foliage, but the forest is predominantly dark. This is the main hunting spot on the mountain and it also hides the most predators.
...The Prism Pool -- There is rumored to be a tiny, warm pool of water hidden somewhere on the mountains that was blessed by the spirit of the first ever medicine cat. It is said to be nearly perfectly round and incredibly hard to find. The bottom is full of colorful shining stones and the water reflects the stars on a clear night. Legends say that is has healing properties and that the spirits will save a mortally wound cat who enters the pool.
Camp -- Because AstralClan believe that the Risen look after them when the night sky is present, they tend to sleep in the open air under the stars. The clan lives on a series of natural steps carved into the mountain with the cliff edges blocked by boulders and large logs to keep kits away. Dens are formed between boulders and overhangs, covered in dense woven brambles and vines to keep out the cold. The medicine cat's den and the nursery are the only dens the clan will sleep inside of year round. There is a small, trickling water source outside the medicine cat's den. The highest step is where the leader sleeps and holds clan meetings. It overlooks the Stone Labyrinth.
...Stone Labyrinth -- Far below the camp, there is a dark reminder of bloody Eras past. A large, treacherous labyrinth full of pitfalls and dangers is visible from the highest step in camp. Its walls are made by tall, heavy stones and mud-and-branch enforced walls that are difficult to scale. In days long ago, the Clan would watch prisoners, traitors, and trespassers get tossed into the labyrinth with little hope of making it out alive. In recent history, it has been used to test apprentices during the Mind Trials. With careful supervision from along the walls, of course.

Warrior & Medicine Cat Codes

The Warrior Code is as follows:

1. The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.

2. Defend your Clan, even with your life. The safety of the Clan comes before the life of one cat.

3. Elders, queens, and kits must be fed first.

4. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

5. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

6. A deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled. The Clan will vote between the two available deputies.

7. After the death or retirement of a deputy, a new deputy must be chosen before moon-high.

8. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger.

9. Apprentices can not leave camp without a warrior unless instructed otherwise. Kits are forbidden from leaving camp.

10. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.

11. Killing within the clan is inexcusable and could result in banishment or execution.



... The Medicine Cat Code is as follows:

1. A medicine cat must treat every cat equally and without bias, regardless of bloodline or personal grudges.

2. A medicine cat is forbidden from taking a mate or having kits.

3. A medicine cat apprentice has to be approved by the Risen. They will receive a dream at the Silvertrail if they are allowed to become a medicine cat.

4. All medicine cats must be taught basic hunting and defensive battle moves in case of emergency.

5. At least one medicine cat must travel to the Silvertrail on the night of the Full Moon and of the New Moon.

6. Medicine cats are especially sensitive to the influences of the Risen, as well as the Lost. A medicine cat is not allowed out of camp alone.
