The Start of Fernclan

and so we begin...

[primrosepaw]

Okay I'm doing it!! Starting a Clan and then immediately skipping ahead 5 generations to moon 720!

So... FernClan's founders:

Alright. Time to skip ahead 720 moons and see what we have by then!

FernClan’s History

Heeelllooo, my dear readers!

The blog is still pretty new, but I figured why not go over FernClan’s history - as well as territory, the camp itself, landmarks… etc.

For anyone who stumbles across this blog and has no idea what it’s about, the blog is dedicated to an alternate universe ft. Wordgirl x Warrior Cats! FernClan is the stand-in for Fair City, chosen as a pun on the city so it wouldn’t have to be FairClan wheeze- but anyway! I plan on breaking this down with the background of how the clan came to be, including all the other fun stuff!

So- for one thing, a group of cats escaped from a research facility and sought refuge within the forest in the hopes of not being found by the scientists. Things at first, were tense as they had no idea how to survive until one of the cats received a vision from StarClan - telling them they must form a clan in order to survive from the horrors ahead. FernClan became founded soon after, and eventually more cats began to join from all sorts of places (between wandering kittypets, strays, and more!), eager to experience clan life.

Though as the group continued expanding, trouble arose in the form of natural predators - not to mention unfriendly felines who would attempt to steal prey or cause problems by attacking the clan cats. Well, until a brave young cat by the name of Cometshine decided to boldly chase out the rogues and became the first savior great warrior of FernClan!

Though sometime after, seemingly without any explanation - Cometshine disappeared. No one knew what happened to him. Some claimed he might have found a mate, others believe he had other cats to help but it did shape FernClan’s history…

If you’re curious about the rest of the FernClan lore, check below the cut!

TERRITORY

FernClan is located deep within the forest, surrounded by wild flowers and thickets of berry bushes. At the center of the territory is a clear lake used for hunting. Prey is plentiful during the leaf-fall and new-leaf seasons, though it can quickly grow scarce during leaf-bare. The clan's known for having vines which the cats can used to hunt after birds, squirrels, and other critters living on tree branches. FernClan also has an old, abandoned playground which the apprentices frequent. It got remodeled a bit and the cats decided to add their own 'equipment' (which is meant to reference the episode "Tobey's Playground Calamity".

CAMP GROUNDS

FernClan's campgrounds are a little bit different. The leader's den is located just a bit away from the center of the camp; as it was once a wild critter's cave, the top is layered with moss and has a small array of flowers spreading around it. A canopy of moss falls from the top of the cave - almost like a curtain - clan meetings tend to be held around the leader's den. The medicine cat den however, is a smaller cave which was caused through moons and moons of erosion. The camp is filled with a lot of moss which is often used to make nests for the cats. The warriors' den is located closer to the entrance, made from a large opening which gets longer as once gets inside since cats dug in order to create more space. A small, seeable hole can be seen from the top. The apprentices' den strongly resembles a burrow and the nests are of course, made of moss - cushioned by other accessories found within the territory. FernClan's camp is known to be fairly big in order to accommodate for unexpected, new arrivals though it's been a while since new visitors arrived within the clan.

PREDATOR AND PREY

As FernClan is located deep in the forest, prey consists largely of mice, rabbits, rodents, and birds. Though there are also squirrels during leaf-fall and new-leaf which are a bit harder to reach during times of leaf-bare. Reptiles can be found closer to the lake, primarily consisting of lizards and snakes which can make for a good, tasty snack. Since FernClan's members have been known to be adapted with climbing, they have also been known to snag prey within the trees.

Unfortunately, FernClan does have predators which largely consists of foxes and the occasional badgers. Dogs are a rather uncommon threat though further within the territory, there are wolves which means the cats must be careful when venturing deeper. Birds of Prey such as hawks are a problem though FernClan felines, as they come from different backgrounds, are known for striking them down.

OUTSKIRTS AND BORDERS

Beyond the clan territory, and well past the broken fence, there are other lands... though cats tend not to venture that far. On the other side of the fence is a barn where other cats might dwell. Past the barn and heading down a dirt path, there's a seemingly abandoned cabin though it still appears to be in roughly good condition. FernClan cats are highly advised not to go beyond the borders, mainly due to the rumors of reaching the city which slims the chances of making it back to the clan.

FernClan borders another clan though no one has seen the members of said place in ages. [INFORMATION REDACTED]

KNOWN LANDMARKS

Woodview Point: Woodview Point is a cliff which is part of the mountains past FernClan. Cats are advised to travel in groups instead of alone as the area can get steep. However, it has been used as a training ground for apprentices in order to better their climbing and hunting skills. Great Lake: The Great Lake is a body of water located within the clan's territory. Fish is plentiful within there and apprentices are often taken as a way of perfecting their hunting skills. Raven's Ledge: Raven's Mountains are the surrounding mountains located further into FernClan. While they are known for being a bit steep, cats are known to travel - especially when it comes to the medicine cats as there's another landmark which allows connections to the Starry Plains (a term referring to the bridge between the mortal plane - aka the clan and beyond - and StarClan).

There might be other landmarks but for now - this is the best I could come up with. More for FernClan will be revealed soon and there is intention of making an official discord roleplay server, though we'll breach that later. The Dark Feline Association will also be talked about in a separate post!

Though for now, I bid you all a goodnight and good luck with classes picking up again tomorrow.

Lagoonclan's second neighbor, Fernclan, who have a baby for a leader. They are very traditional and seem to have some sort of inheritance system going on with the high ranks.

[lucentclan]

well! i wasnt expecting this-

I wrote a little snippit for this that I'll put it under the cut, I'm so upset over them you have no idea

despite the war between Lucentclan and Fernclan being over, Newtstar decides that he, Pepperflare, and Violethope will go patrol the borders one last time before the sun goes down. They don't realize the scent of rain or the clouds forming in the distance, as they're crossing the beach, rain begins falling heavily and weighing down their pelts.

"Newtstar!" Pepperflare calls over the now howling wind, anxiety pricking in her paws as the rain brings back unwanted memories of Sablepaw being washed away in a flood four moons ago. "We should really go back to camp! I don't have a good feeling about this."

Newtstars ears flick in acknowledgement, "we need to be sure that Fernclan isn't up to anything. I won't lose anymore cats to those fox-hearts!" He argues back, claws digging into the sand as he thinks of their previous medicine cat, Rippleclaw.

"No sane cat will be out in this weather!" Pepperflare insists, "Especially Fernclan cats! They hate water!"

"I agree with Pepp-" Violethope begins, her meow quickly cut off by a deafening crash and flash of lightning. In the distance, the sound of trees cracking and breaking echo down the mountains.

All three clancats freeze, heads snapping to the horizon where they see a massive wave of water quickly making its way down the hill, rocks, trees, and other natural debris coming along with it. The clancats barely have time to process what was happening before the water reaches them and sweeps them off their paws and into the unforgiving ocean. Their lungs fill with freezing saltwater as they cry out for starclan to save them to no avail.

Newtstar is the first to open his eyes, the yellow a sharp contrast to the darkness around him. Stars now shine in his pelt, and reflect in his eyes as he takes in the vaguely familiar area. He had been here when he lost his first life protecting his clan from a dog the same moon Rippleclaw had been found dead on Fernclans border. It had been nice to see the tom again to be assured that he wouldn't be alone, their starclan guide, and Newtstars own kin, Shardfoam being there to keep him company.

He sits and sighs, watching the water drip from is glimmering pelt and dissappear into the stars beneath his paws. He couldn't help but feel as if he had let his clan down.

Pepperflare and Violethope join him soon, appearing with splashes of salt water and gasping breaths that didn't take any oxygen. The she-cats meet eyes for a moment, confused as they look towards their leader.

They realize the stars at the same time, dismay filling them. Quietly, they step forward to sit beside their leader in quiet mourning.

"I'm sorry it had to be this way," A familiar voice says, a cream tabby tom stepping into sight. Sympathy reflecting in his grey eyes as he looks at the warriors. Beside the medicine cat is a younger spotted gray apprentice, Sablepaw, who is looking at them with the same sympathetic look.

"Rippleclaw! Sablepaw!" Newstar cries, standing. "Whats going on? We can't actually be dead, right? What about my other seven lives?" The words tumble out of his mouth before he can stop them, needing answers. Beside him, Pepperflare tries to speak but just hacks up a mouthful of water. Violethope remains quiet.

Rippleclaw sighs, "Unfortunately there was no way for starclan to bring your body back, it was washed too far out to sea for it to be possible." He steps to the side, the area behind him now streching out into a vast area, stars littering ground. This was starclans hunting grounds. The medicine cat dips his head, tears in his eyes as his friends try to process their deaths, "Welcome to starclan, my friends. Here you can watch over and guide Lucentclan."

Down below the sky, Quailcall sits outside the medicine den, blue eyes watching the entrance of the camp. It's been far too long since the patrol had left, and the elder was starting to get a bad feeling. He looks up at the dark clouds as it stormed and shakes out his pelt before standing and turning to enter the den.

Sparkfire lays in a nest against the far wall, curled up tightly as she sleeps through the infection in her wounds. The she-cat twitches and whimpers in her sleep, shifting slightly. The tom silently makes his way to sit beside the nest, watching the slow rise and fall of Sparkfires back, half expecting it to stop at any moment.

Quailcall looks towards the entrance of the den once more, dread filling his belly. "Starclan help us." He says quietly before curling up close to the deputy and shuts his eyes in an attempt to sleep until the patrol returns.

sorry for the short fic but i wanted to write for this moon soo bad and got carried away.

What will Sparkfire and Quailcall do now?

[bundlesofcrows]

Maybe Stemstar? I love him, hes just a baby who inherited an entire clan and it's probably crushing him

I WANT YOU 🫵 TO GIVE ME ☝️ YOUR CLANGEN OCS 🤝

Looking to draw some new friends!

Reblogs or comments, but I have to be able to find a character reference on your Tumblr! One per blog 😁

[fernclans-story]

A few moons after the beginning of the clan, Duskpaw was old enough to be apprenticed. On her first outing as an apprentice, she got a little too close to the otter pups on the Fernclan side of the river and was attacked by their mother. Frozenpaw and Violetpaw jumped to their junior's defense, keeping the young apprentice from further harm and driving the otters back to the river.

on their return to the camp, Bravestar gave the elder two apprentices their warrior names, Violetwind and Frozencreek, making them the first new warriors of Fernclan

FernClan Navigation Page

Heeelllooo, my lovelies!

So this blog is dedicated to a crossover between Wordgirl x Warrior Cats of my own design. It was originally inspired off of this post and I decided to make my own, because I am an impulsive little kit. I'm going to break the navigation page into different sections and that way you can get an impression of how everything works!

To preface this, FernClan is meant to represent Fair City which currently does not technically have a leader (right now, the intention is it's the canon mayor-) but this will be covered again later. The clan is located deep within the forest in order to avoid being detected by "two-legs", the clan term for humans. Two warriors by the name of Foxspirit and Oakshade found an abandoned kit and her 'pet' ferret, deciding to raise her as their own. Deciding to give the little molly her own clan name, she became Flarekit. Eventually they came to have another kitten, this time a tomcat, but little did they know just how different their lives would become.

FernClan has seemingly been the only clan in the area though - who knows, there might be another. As for our resident villains, they're a rogue organization known as the Dark Felines Association (not the most creative, I know-) which live on the outskirts of clan territory. This is the rough overview of the background information, but now we get to the fun part.

Read below the cut for more information!

Full lore will be covered in another post, but Cats of FernClan is a project by a fan and written FOR fans. This is not meant to reflect any preexisting canon as this was done to share within the community.

FERNCLAN CATS PLOT

Flarepaw and her fellow clanmates, a group of apprentices, are now undergoing training to become warriors but of course - FernClan has always been full of surprise. Ever since she was a kit, Flarepaw was communicating with cats only she could see. They attempted to guide her, claiming she would be the "word of the clan". Whatever that meant.

Though as the apprentices continue their journey, the Dark Felines Association is looking to cause trouble...

CLANGEN!!!!!!!!!!

I have taken to playing the game and was so pleased my first time I spent hours on it, so I’ve started a second play through on Expanded Mode. I named it AmberClan, the camp is in the Cavern, and we’re starting in Newleaf.

I love Warriors (despite having only read up to Power of Three) and seeing as I could download this game I went for it and here we are; inspired enough to make another post on Tumblr and very excited to see if it further inspires me!

Here we have Cranestar, her deputy Flinttooth, the medicine cat Storkmask, warriors Shrewswirl, Puddletimber, and Yellowflake, the only apprentice Thistlepaw, the elder Tricklefall, and the two kits Ratkit and Needlekit! I’m too tired of writing about their traits to do it again (I have somehow managed to lose my first draft), but perhaps I’ll do showcase posts of some of them later should they become important enough? Regardless, it’s time to talk about the other clans.

Currently AmberClan is viewed as mellow. PloverClan is also mellow, SootClan and RattleClan are logical, and scarily, FernClan is bloodthirsty! My biggest debate so far with them is if I want to try for a pacifist and peaceful angle by befriending them all, or if I want to aim for something more combative. If I do, should I then target FernClan, or become their ally and make enemies of the other three clans? Time will tell, I suppose. Perhaps I’ll find myself with a particularly violent leader in the future…

More exploration of this new mode has revealed to me the prey count in the patrol menu! 😧 Frightening. I am very ready to fail miserably at meeting these requirements. Current prey is at 60 and needed prey is 20.0. Further research shows the nutrition counter in the cat list (an enabled setting allows to see the actual number, but otherwise it just says the status). Very interesting.

I’m not sure if the founding clan leader’s leadership ceremony is the default or if there are different ways it can go, but I’ll be able to check by the end of the week. I also notice that none of the founders have conditions, which would be interesting to start out with but I don’t mind the absence.

Just noticed that Puddletimber’s status says “Makes note of Thistlepaw’s journey as an apprentice” which I find very curious since Yellowflake is actually his mentor, but it’s probably nothing.

I just found the clearing button as well! All of this is overwhelming already and I haven’t even started the main game, but I’ve set the feeding tactic to less nutrition first. I’ll be sure to make use of all of them at some point, surely! There’s also a ration button, probably helpful during the winters or if something else were to happen. This freshkill pile log looks interesting too, can’t wait to figure out how it works! The medicine den has additions as well and I’m honestly excited to play this mode now. More stuff to do! The leader’s den is the same as in classic.

That’s basically all I have at the moment! Except, I have one question that may never be answered; why in the world does it say “DebugClan” at the top of the screen when everything else says AmberClan? 😵

[heepthecheep]

I wish Queens and Mediators could patrol. I think it would be cute if they had specific patrols like medicine cats, or if they could just join along in general.

Like if queens where going out to look for supplies (Cherryleaf wants softer bedding! Pigeonkit really wants some new feathers to play with) or (and idk how this would work) they'd function like a regular warrior, but they'd have a positive influence on situations with abandoned newborns and queens w/litters. Perhaps the kits would survive more often, the "strange sound" encounters would have queens and kits more likely to be alive. Maybe the scared apprentice from another clan one too (scared kid = comfort from parental figure= more likely to join your clan??) and having a higher chance of having the kittypets who join bring a litter with them.

Mediators could have specific patrols that are like the little updates that pop up on the monthly summary (Beenose went to Fernclan to negotiate XYZ but it didn't go well, etc) but I can also see them being locked into training and border patrol. Training with one would increase (and sometimes decrease) the relationship points with the selected cats. Border patrols could help interactions with outsiders and other clan cats go more smoothly. Maybe even increase the likelihood of outsiders joining, or the relationship with the neighboring clans be more positive

Moon 11!

Sparkstars leader ceremony under the cut! much longer than I intended, but I'm so emotional over these cats man

Sparkfire never intended to become leader.

and yet. here she was. staring down into the long abandoned burrow that led to an underground pool surrounded by glistening rocks that somehow still managed to reflect the starlight. She couldn't see the rocks from here, the darkness seemingly endless.

Newtstar was supposed to long outlive her. Sparkfire wasn't terribly older than him, but old enough. His nine lives weren't supposed to be gone that quickly.

Thinking of the previous leader makes her stomach churn with a mix of guilt and grief. *Why* had she encouraged the war against Fernclan? If she hadn't, the clan she and Newtstar worked so hard to bring together would still be thriving.

She was stupid and arrogant, but she can't change anything now.

With a deep breath, she ducks into the hole and makes her way down to the starpool. The dirt walls of the tunnel close around her, dirt and roots getting caught in her ginger fur and threatening to suffocate her.

After what feels like an eternity, the tunnel opens up to a small cave. In the center a glistening pool surrounded by similarly glowing rocks. The sight takes her breath away and she stands there for a moment, imagining the future generations of medicine cats and leaders of Lucentclan coming to this pool and etching their paw prints into the ground. Solidifying the clans legacy.

She shakes off her pelt as if shaking the thoughts away and steps up to the pool, her pawsteps echoing gently around her. Once to the waters edge, she lays down with her toes and chin barely brushing the cold water. The cold water sends a jolt through her but she quickly finds herself drifting off.

When she opens her eyes again, the cave has been replaced with inky blackness. Stars sparkle around her and the ground ripples underpaw as if she were standing on water.

From the darkness emerges all the cats she had grown to care for over the last few moons, The only one she didn't recognize was a black tabby that looked similar to Newtstar. She assumed it was Newtstars sister, Shardfoam. The she-cat had died far before Newtstar had left his old clan and met Sparkfire but Shardfoam had become their starclan guide after Newtstar had formed Lucentclan.

The first cat to step forward is Pepperflare, the black and white she-cats eyes showing warmth but also hesitance. Pepperflare stands infront of Sparkfire, "To start, I give you a life for friendship. Use it to treat others with the kindness you showed us in life." With that, she leans forward, only able to hope that Sparkfire uses her honeyed words and silver tongue well as they touch their nose to the leaders head. She steps back, bowing her head respectfully before drawing back into the line of starry furred cats.

The second to step infront of Sparkfire is Violethope, who's can't help but wonder if her head strong mentor will use her charm and popularity to make Lucentclan a better clan or for her own selfish gain. Her blue eyes glint with distrust, making Sparkfires heart lurch. The leader goes to speak, but is quickly cut off causing her to close her mouth with a click of teeth.

"I give you this life for farsightedness, to see any enemies before they strike and to recognize prosperous opportunities that come your way." She mews, voice more mature than it ever had been in life. Sparkfires legs almost buckle when Violethope presses her nose into ginger fur, sending the life flooding through her being. Violethope nods and turns to stand beside Pepperflare once more.

The next cat startles Sparkfire, stars reflecting in his youthful gaze as he trots up to Sparkfire. Sablepaw appears much friendlier than the previous two. "This life is for trust, to trust your clanmates and keep them close to your heart. I think you'll be a great leader!" He says cheerfully, stretching up to touch Sparkfires nose with his before backing up again to let Sparkfire regain her balance before rejoining the crowd also.

A cream tabby and white tom steps out next, it was their old medicine cat Rippleclaw. Rippleclaw was the start of the tragedies that hit their clan, having been killed by Fernclan which led to the war.

Sparkfire half expected hostility from the medicine cat, but was met with a warm smile instead. The tom leans forward until their noses are touching gently, this time the life feels like it flows through Sparkfire like the tide pools in their camp.

"With this life I give you wisdom. Take care of the clan the best you can. I believe in you." He purrs, voice hardly above a whisper. Sparkfire nods, thankful.

Shardfoam is next, the she-cat not giving away her true emotions. "I know you do not know me,  but I'm grateful for you taking over the clan and for helping Newtstar get as far as he did. I know you blame yourself, but do not.  This was the will of starclan." She leans forward, "I give you a life for duty. You are now responsible for the future of Lucentclan, be sure to make the right decisions." Shardfoam steps back into the line of cats.

and finally, Newtstar steps forward. His golden eyes stare into Sparkfires own olive ones, brimming with pride as he looks upon his old friend.

Sparkfire once again tries to speak,

"Newtstar, I-"

The black and white tom smiles and hushes her with a brush of his tail under her chin.

"Hush now, Sparkfire. I know what you're going to say, but as Shardfoam has told you, this is how it was meant to be." He leans forward and presses their noses together, sending warmth washing over Sparkfire. "With this life I grant you endurance in the face of hardship. It will only get harder from here, my friend. but you will always have friends and loved ones here in starclan. Live as Sparkstar, and lead our clan out of darkness and into the light we're named after."

Sparkstars shoulders shake with heavy sobs, overcome with emotion in front of the cat she had grown to care for so deeply. Sure, they disagreed on certain aspects and Sparkfire had violent thoughts but she would have never acted on them.

Before she can say anything, dozens of wispy, starry spirits emerge, quickly surrounding Sparkfire. "we grant you your remaining 3 lives." Individually, each voice is distant, but together, the force of their words shakes Sparkstar to her core. "Use them well, with our blessing." And in a heartbeat, they were gone and Sparkstar awakens with a jolt. The starpools cave now feeling more barren and lonely than when she arrived.

Sparkfire looks into her reflection on the water, determination now flooding through her. "I vow to protect Lucentclan, even at the cost of all my lives. The clan *will* live on."

And with that, she turns tail and heads home where Quailcall is waiting.
