star climax that i would personally enjoy: splashtail's got frostpaw pinned in their final confrontation, he's this close to finally killing her, and all of frostpaw's fears culminate and leave her frozen, unable to struggle free. curlfeather, through sheer willpower ignited by this immediate threat to her daughter's life, summons all the energy she can muster to project her image into the physical world, visible to both splash and frost. her sheer fury, her mangled corpse--here, present, clawing her way out of splashtail's dreams and into a waking nightmare, here to drag him down to hell with her--spooks splashtail to the core. this either frightens him so bad he suffers cardiac arrest, or he instantly bolts and abandons the clans forever (for the case where he could be brought back as a villain who is ideally no longer lame). once more, curlfeather saves frostpaw's life, this time from beyond the grave, so great is her love for her daughter. with the image of her bloodied mother burned in her mind, frostpaw's conflicted feelings bubble to the surface, feelings she's desperately forced underneath a layer of anger and resentment. frostpaw faces the truth: that her mother manipulated her for her own gain, but also that her mother loved her, and ultimately cared for frostpaw more than her own life. curlfeather was not entirely good or bad, she was simply just a cat, a flawed one, one capable of both good and bad things. hidden in all of her misdeeds was a cat that could be forgiven--and in turn, frostpaw too could be forgiven, and no longer needs to blame herself for every misfortune that had befallen her and her clan. frostpaw is also just a cat, a child under incredible duress, forced to make decisions that no child should have to make. she thinks of every cat that pushed that responsibility onto her--yes, her mother, but also splashtail, her older clanmates, every clan cat around the lake that turned a blind eye to her desperation. even starclan--her all knowing, benevolent ancestors--had stood by while she suffered, had caused her suffering, had used her not unlike the way curlfeather had. what made them different? why was curlfeather punished by cats who were no better? why was frostpaw punished for doing everything right? what distinction did starclan make between "good" and "bad" when all cats were capable of both, including starclan, in all its alleged, unerring kindness?

frostpaw once again does starclan's bidding, touches her nose to the moonpool and receives her nine lives. with each life, cats flash before her vision--harelight, riverstar, jayclaw--but they aren't the cats she sees. in her mind she sees curlfeather, blood on her paws and love in her eyes, and newly named froststar decides what sort of leader she will be. this is the last time she will follow starclan's path, no more will riverclan be subject to their will and their hypocrisies. relying on starclan is what destroyed them, their ancestors standing idle as riverclan tore itself apart for their favor. no more will riverclan force warriors and apprentices in certain roles, no more will it allow complacency, letting desperate voices go unheard. splashtail rejected starclan, but that is not what drove his bloodthirst and desire for power. under froststar's leadership, power would not solely lie in the paws of her and starclan, but shared among her clanmates, unable to be ripped away by a lone instigator, shattered by a single break in the chain.

maybe she'll be the kind of leader curlfeather wanted to be. maybe she'll be better. either way, froststar will lead riverclan into a golden dawn.

The Warriors Instagram has announced Warrior Cats: Lake Territory, an official Roblox project.

It is unknown what this means for Warrior Cats: Ultimate Edition, aside from them having to rename portions of it.

More info to come.

chemicals in the lake are making the cats GAY >:(

Basically a masterpost about this specific AU

-Lionblaze transman, autistic and won't pick up any social cue.

-Lionblaze is not a calico, he is a chimera

-Lionblaze big guilt and OCD over his power

-Lionblaze fears he will end up like Scourge as a part of his OCD (i have to find a way to let everyone know that Scourge is related to Firestar tho....)

-Lionblaze and Toadfoot only aknowledge each other in The Fourth Apprentice when they are on their way to the beavers and they become gay

-Lionblaze keeps his personality from late po3 (kind of dumb, can't pick up any clue, very ocd, is socially very awkward and clumsy, clearly needs help to navigate social situations properly)

-Lionblaze is very much the same as in canon, very flawed, he is still the most forgiving of the 3 and does try to talk it out with Squirrelflight and Leafpool, he feels very isolated in his clan due to the prophecy, the lies around his birth and Hollyleaf being presumed dead, which makes him more prone to have a relationship with an outsider instead of a thunderclan warrior

-Toadfoot also went through losing a sibling (Marshkit), he doesn't have a canonical father so I think he would be very attached to his mom (Tallpoppy) and remaining sibling (Applefur), he is also seen being playful, friendly and understanding towards Flametail I love toadfoot

-Lionblaze and Toadfoot have big rivals to lovers energy and it was my favorite weird "crack" ship when I was 13

-The AU also centers around the flaws of StarClan and their weird mechanic that keeps changing over time (ashfur goes to starclan because he just found his way there, and leafpool gets to go through a whole trial somehow???)

-Living cats and StarClan fight dark forest first, and then living cats turn more or less against StarClan for being as incomprehensible as possible, doing blatant favoritism, letting bad seeds get in and throwing out overall good cats, and the warrior code will also be reformed because it's way overdue grrrr

-Maybe Dovewing and Ivypool are the babies of Hollyleaf and Cinderheart instead of Birchfall and Whitewing ? I never really liked that Dovewing was indeed linked to the 3 but she was so far away in family tree tbh :((

-Lionblaze will have babies with Toadfoot as some point (Maybe adopted ? I don't know yet) and they won't have many children, and I will do everything in my power to get rid of all the current incest in the books >:(

-I think the babies of Lionblaze and Toadfoot will look like Tallpoppy and Leafpool because i love them

-Leafpool, Squirrelflight and Tallpoppy will both be aware of the relationship at some point, but they will keep their mouth shut and be supporting mothers because they are very cool and progressive

-I don't know if I will ever write fanfiction about this, I am already working on a clangen project, so if I do anything about it it will only be a small side project ! I use this AU to rewrite things that make me happier than the canon version (like making transman OCD autistic lionblaze, i find it easier for me to relate to him) :)

I hope you like it, I shall disappear again for a while now, I have art fight attacks to work on >:)

Rise of a Genre? - Ramblings on "Shifting Roots" (The Alliance Saga - Clouded Moon, book 1)

From a Warriors OC indie animated series to its retooling into an original fantasy story and now with the release of the first novel in a planned trilogy, Star Cat Studios' Clouded Moon has had quite the tumultous history. Having released December 23rd, 2024 and available not only on the author's Ko-Fi page but also on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, this seemingly not-quite-indie title is particularly interesting to me as a Warriors fanfiction author steeped in the rewrite side of the community.

Throughout my time in the fandom I have seen many rewrite projects grow more ambitious. Eventually many of these have diverged so significantly in terms of plot and especially worldbuilding to the point it made more sense to spin them off into original fantasy stories. Here in the Tumblr space, the word for this emerging genre is xenomoggy, a portmanteau of xenofiction (fiction written from the perspective of a non-human character) and moggy (an unremarkable non-pedigree domestic cat, feline counterpart of the word mutt).

Shifting Roots is far from the first ever Warriors fan project to have found new life as an original propety. In the videogame world, Cattails and its sequel Cattails: Wildwood Story precede it, having been developed on the basis of the fangame Warrior Cats: Untold Tales. However it IS, to my knowledge, the first ever comercially published xenomoggy novel.

I originally envisioned this post as a review of the book, but the more I wrote the more I found myself just rambling about my thoughts on the book. To concisely summarize my thoughts, this is a 6.5/10 book. Definitely above your standard Warriors book, a series which is a very consistent 5/10 read, but still somewhat missing the mark. Regardless, I'd recommend any Warriors fan to check it out and any aspiring author of xenomoggy fiction to study it in order to take advantage of its strengths and avoid its faults.

So, without further ado, my somewhat rambly thoughts on the book below. Beware of spoilers.

The Setting

Right away, Shifting Roots shows its origins as a Warriors OC story. Alliance Lake is very transparently just the Lake Territories featured from arc 2 of Warriors onwards. And the four cat colonies that live on its shores, Oak Colony, Marsh Colony, River Colony, and Field Colony, are very transparently just ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan respectively. The territories may have been spiced up a little, in particular River Colony's lush tropical paradise and waterfalls, but it's not substantially different.

What really sets this setting apart is the world beyond the colonies of the Alliance. Firstly there's no humans, and thus no cities, roads, cars, or anything of the sort to threaten our cast. This world is for the most part a scorched wasteland, known to the Alliance as the Unbound-Lands. Here, magic users fight for their life in the unforgiving environment.

According to the origin myths of The Alliance, the world is like that because magic users made it like that through reckless use of magic. According to the telling by Unbound cats, however, the source of this bounty is a spell The Alliance placed that seals away magic powers within Alliance territory and redirects it towards the land and the Captains of each colony.

The change of no humans alone is a huge paradigm shift. The core premise of Warriors has essentially always been "What would your cat be up to if they ran into the woods?" Thus, even as the series has introduced more and more fantastical elements, it has had to remain relatively grounded in terms of how much elements of human society these cats can have. Asking the reader to buy into all the other fantastical elements further ungrounds the setting and raises the bar of willing suspension of disbelief required.

Thus it strikes me as supremely odd how the society of the Alliance Lake colonies still sticks so close to the mold of Warriors. Keepers --equivalent to what in Warriors fandom we'd call a "permaqueen"-- and mentors --not the same as a mentor in Warriors, those are called teachers, these are rather their overseers-- are the only new formal jobs introduced. Politically the only rank added is that of envoy, cats that along with elders, herbalists, the second in command, and the captain form a ruling council and have a vote in colony matters. And in terms of material culture there is a mention of a bag once as well as mentions of torniquets and stitches, but not really anything extreme.

Additions to the material culture and division of labor in the Clans (e.g. tool use, crafts manufacturing, and cooking) are easily some of the most elaborate elements of Warriors rewrites and AUs I see around nowadays. Though I don't like them very much at all (at best I put up with them as a concession to the premise for the sake of an interesting story) because of how they clash with the intended feel of Warriors as a semi-grounded story, their ubiquity and popularity clearly shows I'm in the minority. Thus it feels unnecessarily austere from the authors to add so little when their world's premise alone bought them a wide latitude to make worldbuilding additions to their heart's content.

In terms of presenting the information to the reader, it can be argued that a lot of the legwork has already been made by the Warriors novels and given the primary audience for this book has already read them there's very little need to present the world beyond the additions.

I have to admit that as a Warriors reader, I greatly appreciated that we dove right into seeing daily life in the alliance without having to explicitly exposit it, and I particularly appreciated the fact the author did not insert an outsider protagonist to exposit it to. However, I'm not quite sure this set-up will be entirely intuitive to unfamiliar readers. Perhaps if the xenomoggy genre gains traction and some ground ground level tropes come to be accepted as standard in popular consciousness this will not be an issue for future writers.

With regards to introducing worldbuilding elements not familar to Warriors, althought the first few pages of the book with its maps and glossary of terms and list of characters and laws of the Alliance could be considered an info dump, the relevant parts are still introduced well in the text proper.

The Characters

The book follows a core cast of four characters, one from each of the colonies around Alliance Lake, Dawnfrost from Oak Colony, Wildfur from Marsh Colony, Wolfthorn from River Colony, and Spottedshadow from Field Colony. These four are established from early on to be a friend group going back to their adolescent days, as well as there being two sets of cross-Colony partners: Dawnfrost & Wolfthorn and Wildfur & Spottedshadow.

With the use of these relationships as drivers of the interpersonal conflicts for these characters, we once again see the fingerprints of Warriors. These are no bland repeats of forbidden love tropes seen in its source material, however.

The two mollies of the group, Dawnfrost and Spottedshadow, are an exploration of themes of ambition. The former is currently an envoy and leading candidate for Second in Command once Oak Colony's Captain, Elmtail, dies and his Second, Redleaf, assumes the position. The latter, however, is a mentor who rejected the position of envoy, precluding the possibility of ever becoming Second and thus abandoning previous ambitions for leadership, due to the realization of how it would affect her relationships outside Field Colony.

The two toms of the group, meanwhile, are an exploration of themes of social alienation. Wildfur is a social outcast in Marsh Colony and although his Captain seeks to integrate him by giving him responsibilities, such as the training of the new-claw Pool, he resents these attempts and longs to live in Field Colony, a dream he knows is impossible as it's Field Colony policy to only admit outsiders before adulthood. Wolfthorn, meawhile, is a tom that had previously ran away to wander the Unbound-Lands but returned due to homesickness, only to find that under Captain Rainfall's leadership his home colony has turned to a brutal dictatorship and no longer feels like home. Despite Dawnfrost's pleading for him to come live with her in Oak Colony and Wolfthorn's attempts to convince her to run back into the Unbound-Lands with him, they both know they are too attached to their home to ever leave.

Although the four of these are presented from the very first chapter as the protagonists, the point of view character jumps all over the place between characters of all four colonies and even to members of a group of cats from the Unbound-Lands they come to meet later in the story. Arguably, though, this story belongs more to Spottedshadow and her Field Colony friend turned political rival Goldenpelt. She is even the eponymous character of this trilogy as a whole, as when she ascends to leadership she comes to be known as Captain Spottedshadow the Clouded Moon.

Goldenpelt is a very fascinating character and foil to Spottedshadow. As her childhood friend who once dreamed of leading Field Colony alongside her not only as Captain and Second, but as mates, he holds bitterness and suspicion towards Wildfur and the rest of Spottedshadow's cross-Colony friend group for their role in her giving up her ambition. While she is optimistic about cross-colony cooperation he's distrustful and guarded, both attitudes being validated at different points in the story and driving their tension.

This is only amplified when following the deaths of Field Colony's Captain and Second, after he was left as the only envoy, the Spirits Beyond (which I don't think I have to mention are the StarClan equivalent, but just in case...) chose to appear to and bless Spottedshadow instead of Goldenpelt. When she decides to snub him further by appointing a new envoy to make into her Second for fear that him having the position would undermine her newfound power, their rift only grows.

I will say more about this in the plot section, but suffice to say I think that focus on these two as the primary or even solitary PoV characters could have helped to smooth out a very huge plot issue and really zeroed in what was the emotional core of this story. Interesting and compelling as the other characters and perspectives are I do feel very strongly the multi-PoV format was a misstep.

Plot

The plot follows a series of mysterious attacks on Marsh Colony and Oak Colony cats by an unidentified beast that doesn't even eat its victims. After failing to track down its den and suffering serious losses from Oak Colony, Marsh Colony, and Field Colony during an encounter in the heart of the Oak Colony base, the three colonies above agree to send a party into the Unbound-Lands to the presumed source of these attacks and to gather intelligence in how to face it. The questing party consists of our four protagonists (Wolfthorn sneaked out again, of course, as Captain Rainfall of River Colony refused to help) as well as the new-claw Pool from Marsh Colony, the ranger Shrewpelt from Oak Colony, and the ranger Goldenpelt from Field Colony.

After saving an Unbound-Lands wind mage while in the Unbound-Lands, and in gratitude being led to the rest of their group (called a gust), the group finds out that the creature in question is a bear and her cubs who has been using magic of their own to cloak their den. At this point Wolfthorn also fills them in on the Unbound-Lander's more accurate account of the origin myth of Alliance Lake. (As a side note, the bears can use magic because apparently whoever placed the enchantment that limits the magic of other cats within Alliance Lake territory didn't even know other creatures could wield it too. Thus they didn't cast to bind them as well.) Although the wind mages are unwilling at first to follow them back to Alliance Lake to help with their bear problem, as they don't want to give up their magic NOR die, as killing mages is the policy of the alliance, Captain Spottedshadow promises them sanctuary in Field Colony.

Once back in Alliance territory, the party finds out that River Colony has encroached on Field Colony territory in a bloody battle while Spottedshadow and Goldenpelt were absent. In a single scene, Goldenpelt rallies his group of supporters that believe he was cheated out of captainship and they are promptly and swiftly exiled.

This is where I pause and explain my big plot gripe. Though I definitely see where the author was going with regards to Goldenpelt resurrecting his claim to captainship following the revelation of what Spottedshadow's decision to go in the journey caused, it is very important to note this is right after the two of them had an "arc" in the Unbound-Lands to reconnect as best friends. (Arc is rather too generous. It was a bunch of set pieces not too unlike how Warriors travelling books are a series of loosely connected "quick time event" type scenes.) The immediate U-turn comes across as if their previous relationship development was completely wasted time as we are right back at square one just after it resolved.

If Goldenpelt had stayed in Field Colony and rallied his supporters while Spottedshadow was away OR the last 20% or so of the book that we were at by the time this one scene happened was dedicated to Goldenpelt regressing a bit more gradually, I think it would have been worth it. But both of these ideas I hold would work for the best if Goldenpelt and Spottedshadow were the sole PoVs instead of the constant jumping across so many characters. Capitalizing on these two as the emotional core of the story would have greatly elevated the book.

Anyway. After a disastrous Moonlight Meeting in which Oak Colony, Marsh Colony, and River Colony soundly reject Spottedshadow's plans to use the Unbound-Land mages to fight the bears, Spottedshadow takes it upon herself to break the echantment that binds the magic and which is located in the oak tree in the center of Moonlight Island. Oak Colony and Marsh Colony meanwhile set up bait and ambush the bears. Anticipating this move, Spottedshadow moves to bring unwanted reinforcements and with the help of the wind mages they manage to kill the mother bear and one cub, chosing the take mercy on the second cub and simply chasing it out of Alliance territory.

Thus, we end the book with a new status quo. Wildfur gets to live in Field Colony as the mate of Captain Spottedshadow. Dawnfrost is set to take leadership in Field Colony. Captain Hawkshell of Marsh Colony is frustrated in his attempt to take revenge on all the bears. Wolfthorn is being held prisoner in River Colony for his repeated violations of their curfew policy and suspicions of treasons. And in the Unbound-Lands a group of exiled River Colony would-be rebels hear of Goldenpelt and his supporters, who have taken to calling him Captain after a dream visit of the late Second of Field Colony, Forestleaf, that granted him a leader blessing.

I have all voiced all my plot complaints and I can only say that for the rest this is perfectly fine. I would have preferred for there to be more of a murder mystery element with regards to the bears rather than the answer being handed to our protagonists. But I can see why it wasn't and what we got is serviceable enough, really.

Conclusion

Shifting Roots is better than Warriors but not mind-blowingly good. I am certainly interested enough in continuing to read, but I can see how this would be a one and done for a lot of people. I do recommend it to other Warriors fans, if only because it's likely to be of interest and better than the usual Warriors book, and to aspiring xenomoggy writers I once again urge them to study it. But it's not exactly a read I would recommend outside this fandom. I personally think that for the moment we are still awaiting on the seminal classic of this genre.

The Fifteen Stars of Fear - Part One: The Clans

Welcome to my The Magnus Archives X Warriors crossover AU! This first post is about the Warrior Clans that the story centers around, as well as basic concepts. You'll find the narrated intro and Clan names/descriptions here.

(All posts about this AU will be tagged with the title and #tfsof au. If you want to support my fic writing and art projects, you can start by following those tags!! It would mean a lot)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the deepest reaches of the forest, there lie the Clans. Feral in nature, they denounce the ways of kittypets and their twolegs. There lie the Pacts, groups of rogues and loners that each have a mission or focus. They live in tandem with nature, relying on the world around them to provide what they need.

Or at least they used to.

Something dark and deep, touched by the oldest of stars, made its way into their lives. Beings, known by few and seen by fewer, granted the Clan leaders powers, powers that have since been used to evoke the most primal of fear in cats that belong to other groups.

As time went on, they separated more. As time went on, the fifteen members of The Fearful Council chose their vessels, their Avatars, to carry out their mission. As time went on, certain cats chose paths that ruined them.

And here, their story is told in the form of constellations, the brightest in the sky being a simple chain of fifteen stars.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SeeClan - Higher cats of this clan are typically blessed by the Eye. These cats, much to the disdain of the other clans, have merged their culture with that of the twolegs. They use artifacts, known to former kittypets as "casette recorders," to collect stories of cats from every organization, stories of strange, unexplainable things that they've seen. They also conduct scavenges each moon, where they venture from their grassy cliffs and caves, carefully cross the Thunderpath, and collect treasures and artifacts from the old, abandoned strip mall. The other Clans have repeatedly shunned them, but when prey runs thin in leaf-bare, the ever-breeding domestic mice in the old, abandoned pet store keep SeeClan well fed.

TrapClan - Higher cats of this clan are typically blessed by the Lonely. These cats focus on building up their own clan, and allyships, rivalships, and wars mean nothing to them. Their entire purpose is either to foster connection, or stay away from it. The fog is thick and heavy on the lakeshores that house the Clan's center camp, and the smooth, water-worn sands and stones are perfect places to fish from. The lake is large, so large in fact that the other side is invisible from their perch. Either that, or the mist is so dense they can't see. Cobwebs are of no shortage here, and spiders seem to creep into every crevice...

VileClan - Higher cats of this clan find themselves to be of the more violent, carnage-focused Fears. Fierce fighters, they pride themselves on their battle prowess. They fight ruthlessly, and if the cat is wise, they won't start a fight with a member of VileClan.

OddClan - Higher cats of this clan are typically blessed by the Spiral and the Stranger. Masters of illusion and disguise, these cats are never quite what they seem. They are some of the most obviously supernaturally-touched. I mean, no cat should be able to walk through a door whenever they please, or make themselves out of plastic and resin. And yet they stand. Their interest in the twoleg culture isn't as strong as SeeClan's, but it is much more apparent than the other clans.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other details, such as the main characters and Pacts, will be in the later posts. Keep watch of the tags on this post for more silly things!! Cat Jon is coming soon 👁️👁️

[bonefall]

Are there any changes to Smokepaw (ShadowClan Apprentice in TNP) in BB? He is my all time favourite Warriors character for literally no reason, he existed twice, the second time to fall off a cliff and die, but I love him. I feel like he was a huge waste of potential, in that first time he appeared I thought of Blackstar as a sort of parental figure to him. Think like Firepaw and Bluestar, maybe? Or maybe more like Firepaw and Yellowfang? I'm sure that was just me serious projecting onto like less than a page of screen time, but I am so attached to him. I even made an AU where there was a conveniently placed river that swept him away to the Sundrown Place where he was taken in by Midnight.

Does BB have anything for my little guy?

Smokefall! Given an obligatory Sardonic ShadowClan name after he fell off a cliff and forced the entire journey to halt in its tracks for almost a month!

because shadowclan is like, ridiculously small and the family tree is a brick, Smokepaw (TNP), Smokepaw (Field Guides), and Smokefoot (Po3) are reworked. SmokeFALL survives, Smokepaw is now BILLOWCLOUD, and Smokefoot is SMOGFOOT.

Smog and Smoke are siblings. Billowcloud is not related to them.

Anyway, Smokepaw got REALLY hurt in that fall, but did survive

A (currently unpicked) Tribe cat actually climbed all the way down to get him. He had to be carried the rest of the way.

But once safe, he really couldn't move or else jeopardize his recovery. That, paired with a lack of travelling rations and a few pregnant cats close to delivery halted the Journey.

But Smokepaw still got ribbed relentlessly for "holding everyone up." Poor guy. ShadowClan humor.

Talonpaw got really close to him in that time. In fact, a LOT of cats developed close bonds in this "intermission," including many of the cats who would ultimately support Mudclaw's claim in WindClan.

Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost, as well.

In general, this is a really important hiatus because it's adding some PIVOTAL breathing room for cats to bond free of Clan divisions.

Clan Culture is never really the same after this. It's a change a long time coming.

He is also one of Birchfall's friends. This entire apprentice/kit generation has a very odd view on Clan divisions, because the Destruction of White Hart and the subsequent journey were so formative.

It was actually Smokepaw's "idea" to make Paw Soup. It came from a suggestion towards some WindClan apprentices, that they should try to make an ancient gumbo recipe that hadn't been seen since the start of Heatherstar's campaign.

Birchkit and his big bro Spiderpaw butted in, RiverClan apprentices didn't want to be left out, and the rest is history.

They never did make that gumbo but they made something new.

At the Lake, he also prevents Talonpaw from dying to Jacques and The Dreaded Susan. By also getting his ass beat.

(But that's probably gonna be offscreen because im not dedicating several chapters to it like canon when theres a civil war that should be in focus)

Smokefall becomes the next Educator of ShadowClan, and the mate of Talonclaw. Eventually Smogfoot surrogates a kit for them-- probably Pinenose.

The couple shows up at various points throughout Po3 and OotS as very important friends of Birchfall, and general friendly faces in ShadowClan which is a major ally through the arcs.

Sadly, though, they meet a gruesome and tragic end in AVoS. The Kin is a cult, and once it takes power, it immediately targets the one who teaches history. Smokefall. Talonclaw refuses to abandon his mate.

His position is taken by the infamous Berryheart, who is the educator through TBC. He is survived by several grandkits through Pinenose-- Slatefur, Puddleshine, and Happyface.

im surprised that more ppl on tumblr aren't talking about the official warrior cats team (not sure if it's the publisher or what exactly) killing the lake territory: reborn project in favor of the new wcue lake game

[kipxan]

ohh my god ok so i love clangen and the WONDERFUL Nimaereth created a mod that lets you customize and import your own cats into the game and i’m obsessed. i’ve had zero time to draw so i’ve been creating characters from my own personal warrior cats ““worldbuilding”” project (plus my beloved lightningclaw of course).

the folks working on this game are incredibly smart and do all this work for free, and i respect the hell out of them for bringing together such a lovely fan project! definitely show them support if you can!

credits: mod by Nimaereth (linked above), merle and abyssinian coat patterns by MagiBaxter, extra pelt colors by Eragona (no github link but can provide link to her thread in the discord server), just-some-cat for the original sprites, and ofc the clangen team itself!  if any one of you want me to take this down, just lmk! :)

more about these characters:

row 1: eclipsestar, murkmist, frostmoon

row 2: riverhaze, silvertongue, nightstep

row 3: wolfstorm, ashfrost, lightningclaw

except for lightningclaw, who is the SkyClan deputy, all of these guys belong to PineClan, which is one of the four clans formed far in the north after several lake clan cats were wrongfully chased from their home. their territory borders MountainClan and ValeClan, while CavernClan makes their home in the cave system underneath the three territories. they make their camp in a pine forest, but their hunting grounds also include a muskeg dubbed The Frozen Mire by the cats. most of their ancestors come from either ShadowClan or SkyClan.

their territory also includes the outer edges of the Fox Hollows, home to an intelligent fox pack that long pre-dates the Clans. PineClan maintains an uneasy truce with the foxes over the strip of their territories that overlaps, and as such all PineClan apprentices are taught to speak a little bit of fox. while it doesn’t always stop natural predator conflict, they live in peace most of the time.

PineClan prides themselves on their wisdom and history. they have strong oral traditions, and some stories claim to date all the way back to the old forest. elders are revered to a greater degree than in other clans, and their stories are a favorite among apprentices of other clans at gatherings. PineClan also has a role called the Lorekeeper. they hunt but do not fight or patrol borders, however their main role is to record Clan history. a large stone wall, sheltered from the elements in an abandoned burrow, is painted on to record births, deaths, and changes in position (think kinda like Paleolithic cave paintings). 

their build is lean and elegant, their fur kept sleek and well-groomed. dark coats are valued for nighttime hunting, while tabbies and tortoiseshells are great for hunting in trees. many of them, oddly enough, have large and pointy ears, which legend says they developed to listen for prey in the silent woodland. their scent is reminiscent of pine needles, with a muskier undertone from the wetland.

i won’t get into it too much here but it is important to note that all four clans have a special warrior called their Guardian. this warrior is stronger and wiser than the average clan cat, and their soul is continually reincarnated. though not technically a Guardian, the “original” soul comes from Moonchaser, who led the clan cats to their new northern home. there is a LOT of lore surrounding this bit but think like a mix between the avatar and the nerevarine.

anyway cats.

Eclipsestar (Eclipsestream): current leader of PineClan. she’s chill. has a very relaxed and open policy to outsiders (the northern Clans usually do to prevent inbreeding, but even by these standards she’s very welcoming). was very young to be appointed deputy by the previous leader, Wolfstar, so her inexperience and the need to grow up quickly does sometimes still show. however, she’s overall seen as a wise and peaceful leader.

Murkmist: eclipsestar’s deputy and longtime best friend. while she disagrees with some of eclipse's policies, they’re overall a good fit for each other. sly and crafty, she’s usually the first cat to send when dealing with the Fox Hollows. not above causing drama with the other clans, but she will do so in a manner that makes her seem completely uninvolved.

Frostmoon: the senior medicine cat, very old by the time most of these characters roll around. strict, cold, and deeply rooted in tradition. as an apprentice she was considered a prodigy, but like eclipse, she also lost her mentor at a young age, which led to her developing a deep desire to prove herself. this led to her severely mishandling a situation involving the Clan’s previous Guardian, and many cats (perhaps wrongfully, perhaps not) sadly ended up losing their trust in her.

Riverhaze: frostmoon’s former apprentice. nervous, a bit flighty, and eager to please. not a whole lot to say about him, but he’s a good healer and a nice dude. despite his mentor’s failings, he’s still close with her.

Silvertongue: the current Lorekeeper. not a kittypet since humans are gone in this world, i just thought the collar looked nice. though he probably does have outsider roots. clever, sassy, good-natured, and takes his job VERY seriously. also nightstep’s mate, which means he puts up with a lot of nonsense haha. 

Nightstep: the current Guardian and main character of this hypothetical story (and also the cat iteration of my beloved skyrim character, teravyn, though they’ve kind of evolved into separate characters). adventurous, impulsive, and gets into more trouble than what’s good for him. kind to the point where some might call him naive, but to his credit his heart is in the right place, and he’ll grow into the role. however, his impulsivity is again a problem, because he can be absolutely terrifying in battle. very close with wolfstorm and considers her a sister, and his mate is silvertongue whom he loves very much. his other best friend is a former loner called mireclaw, who’s not featured here.

Wolfstorm: young warrior, found by the Clan as a kit. assumed to be a loner kit, but her mother is actually the MountainClan deputy Magpieshadow, who secretly left her kit with PineClan after her mate died and she felt unprepared to raise a kit alone. due to her MountainClan genes, she’s HUGE (and fluffy) compared to the average PineClan cat. to wolf, the warrior code is...more of a suggestion than a rule set. she’s sneaky and not above stealing prey to feed her own clan, but by starclan is she good at staying hidden. some believe her blessed by the (currently unnamed) patron of stealth. very close with both nightstep and silvertongue, as well as another warrior called mireclaw (not featured here).

Ashfrost: a background warrior. also not much to say about her, but i like her a lot. you will never ever find her in the midst of any drama--she is too laidback and too chill with everyone for that nonsense. however, gossip? she is MORE than happy to listen to it, just don’t make her get involved.

Lightningclaw: my baby. my boy. go here.

‼ Warrior cats: Ultimate edition has COMPETITION ‼

Shocking, right? but it does now! and no, I'm not talking about that old lake territory's one, I'm talking about a new Warrior Cats roleplay game:

Lake Territory: Reborn [Beta]

Its out now, and perfectly playable! the player base is positive, and i see very few cons from a newly born game!

Pros:

Positive player base

Clean animations

More herbs! (comfrey, feverfew, etc.)

Simplistic editor

Different editing options in editor (eyeshadow intensity, tail length,)

Specific injury selector (click to add system)

Game modes! (survival, vs roleplay)

BIGGER desc & name character limits! (250 for desc, 20 for name)

More to territory's! (Referred to Points of Interest)

not overly loud and annoying background music (I actually fell asleep to it while writing this)

Cons:

VERY early in development, there are no accessories, fur options, prey-hunting, or many animations.

no animation leveling (sitting sideways slightly on a slope, for example)

Models are slightly messy (kit neck looks like a dang giraffe)

[cappuccino-bear]

Here's the roles I came up with in my Warrior Cats rewrite!

Present in all clans officially, and will be noted in the allegiances:

Cook: responsible for mantaining the freshkill pile safe from any disease or worms, preparing and cooking food and keeping track of rations and food trade between clans. Works with the Primehunter to regulate food intake for the clan.

Builder: responsible for campkeeping, directing construction projects and major crafting projects, is also responsible for keeping track of leather processing and any other type of important crafting tradition.

Primehunter: responsible for hunting patrols alongside the deputy, keeping track of prey population and organizing pest control, such as driving away competition by sending away predators.

Nurse/chaperone: responsible for the wellbeing of parents and kittens, works with the cleric to keep track of health and medicine intake in case it's needed, gives advice to parents and helps with the birth.

Teacher: responsible for the education of students (cats from 3 to 6-7 moons) in history, defense, medicine, hunting, cooking and crafting. Helps the leader assign mentorships based on a student's strenghts and preferences. Is also responsible for codekeeping, the act of choosing the correct punishment of codebreakers, but cannot enact it themselves.

Secondary clan specific roles, which are not "official" but will be recognized as a skill of a specific warrior that is useful:

SHADOWCLAN

Bridger: responsible for the building of bridges and safe pathways in the bogs and adjacent areas of Shadowclan, and for keeping track of the amount of maintenance required to keep them safe.

Dam-watcher: required to keep up with the maintenance of the dam, directing maintenance and expansion projects. (Lake territories only)

Toadnurse: responsible for the care of the pond of toads, where tadpoles and young nymphs are collected to be used as food during winter.

WINDCLAN:

Tunnelers: cats who exclusively hunt, patrol and build inside the tunnels in Windclan territory. Will divide themselves in more roles privately. (Now defunct after Heatherstar's war).

Sentinel: responsible for guarding the camp, the moors and the hunting parties by standing on Sentinel Rocks and looking over their charge. Will alert the clan in case of danger by whistling or shouting loudly. The Role is often taken by nurses/chaperones when they're not looking after queens or kits.

Poolguide: responsible for leading visiting cats to the Moonpool safely, harboring them in the makeshift camp nearby and hunting for them after their visit. (Lake territories only)

THUNDERCLAN:

Branchseeker: responsible for hunting, patrolling and leading cats in trees, plus checking for parasites and sickness in bird nests. Excels at climbing, jumping through branches and leaping. (Refuse from ancient Skyclan migrants)

Trapper: responsible in the art of crafting traps, weapons and rope in order to catch bigger prey, such as deer, boars, badgers and stray geese. These are used only in dire situations, it is dishonorable to hunt other smaller animals in such ways.

Gardener: responsible for planting and tending to the Brightglade Garden in the lake territories. Also responsible for the trading of seeds and herbs to other clans, therefore works closely with the menders. (Lake territories only)

RIVERCLAN

Drypaws: responsible for all land-hunting expeditions, leading all patrols on land and noting any geese or duck nests in dangerous areas.

Furnurse: responsible for the care of the fur of other clanmates, making it hydrorepellent through fat and oils, untangling mats or foreign bodies from it, braiding it out of the way etc. in order to make swimming and diving easier and safer.

Icehunter: responsible for icefishing and hunting during Leafbare. Will lead all patrols in order to crack the ice and get the fish out as quickly and safely as possible.

Diver: responsible for all mussel and clam diving in the lake, processing and cooking them, and trading the shells out to the other clans. (Lake territories only)

MODERN SKYCLAN (Skypoint Falls)*:

Eaglewatcher: responsible for looking for eagles, keeping cats safe from them, hunting them down and processing the skull to use to make tools out of.

Stoneteller: responsible for making the mountain pathways safe, noting where rockfalls might happen or if stalagtites are about to break.

Daylight Warrior: Kittypets who have plead to the life of a warrior but return to their Twoleg nest once night falls.

*since it is entirely rewritten, fusing the Tribe of Rushing Water and Skyclan, all roles function a little differently but I will get into it at another time.

Hiya! Recently I've been trying my hand at creating some FanClans. They're based in a setting inspired by the Taal Volcano and lake region in my native Philippines. Super super excited over developing it but also a tiny bit nervous! Could you perhaps give some insight/tips on how you developed ClayClan? I'd be really grateful if you did 🥹 I'm a tiny bit overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

P.S: here are some cool photos of Taal+some extra info below bc I'm a nerd and can't help myself lol

Where's the volcano, you may ask? The answer to that is: it's the lake you see in the photos! Basically Taal erupted so much in prehistoric times that the rock collapsed inward+downward into the empty magma chambers, forming a bowl shape (otherwise known as a caldera). It's also got like, a fuckton of vents and craters that it also erupts out of too sometimes. She's funky and I like her!

tldr volcanoes and cats r pretty neat :3

WOAH that's so cool!!! :0 This is awesome, thanks so much for sharing! I loooove seeing unique fanClans, it's such a versatile prompt. And a caldera is a GREAT setting! What a pretty one, too!

As for advice... I've been making fancontent for Warriors for a decade now, so a lot of it just comes naturally. I'll explain how I made ClayClan then give some tips I find helpful! And thank you for asking, I'm really flattered :]

(Info + tips below the cut to keep this from being a huge text wall!)

ClayClan started as a worldbuilding project to support a story I was tossing around in my head. At the time, this story was unnamed and followed Minkpaw, a new apprentice who joins the Clan and unravels a mystery.

At this point I only knew it was set in a swamp. I like taking reference from National Parks, so I started searching for Parks with swamps, and after some googling I found out Arcadia National Park has a ton of wetlands! So I started compiling a species list. As I worked I gradually switched the model region from Arcadia to a general Maine wetland, as this was more appealing to me.

Once I had that together, I started working on ClayClan's culture. This was largely a matter of tossing ideas at the wall and seeing what stuck! I wanted there to be a new rank between warriors & deputy, so I gave them captains. I like exploring religions unique from canon's StarClan, so I gave them the pantheon. I couldn't decide if I wanted their camp to be in the woods or by the lake, so I gave them two camps. Once I had down my base ideas, I just refined them until they felt complete, and since then I've been adding fun tidbits to my own liking.

As I worked, I realized that Pickerelstripe - a supporting character in the original story, as Minkpaw's mentor - was much more interesting to me than Minkpaw herself. So I decided to switch the story to her perspective, and it began developing into the Heart Rot that I love!

With this switch came a change in tone, as Heart Rot is much darker and more serious than my early plans. So I made some worldbuilding changes to fit! ClayClan's religion solidified, kepbon sculptures came into existence, that sort of thing. I'm still making tweaks here and there to tighten everything up.

Okay! Thanks for sticking with me through all of that, here's some random tips! :D

A good place to start is with location! I'm a total nerd about ecosystems, so I like to make my Clan territories as close to their real-world inspirations as possible. iNaturalist is a great reference for finding species in a specific area! Google is also your friend, and I've even used physical field guides in the past. It's a really fun process and enriches your knowledge of the real world - win-win!

Of course, not everyone's interested in this level of detail, and that's all good! I would, however, recommend having an idea of your Clan's territory and the types of animals/plants they regularly encounter. It can be a good springing-off point for worldbuilding! Take ClayClan's bobcat lore as an example, that came directly from wanting to do something cool with bobcats being in Maine.

Is this worldbuilding for a story? If so, what story are you trying to tell? Try and focus on worldbuilding that will affect the plot and see where it leads from there. For example, if your story focuses on family ties, you can explore how your fanClan views family!

Does your inspiration region have any interesting history? If so, you could try and tie it into your Clan's mythos! For example, the setting you've got makes me really curious about how your Clan views the caldera, and all its vents & craters. Do they believe the caldera has always been there? Do they have some lore about the ancient volcano? How do they rationalize the vents? There's lots to explore!

What do you want to see expanded on in Clan culture? The rank system, naming, religion, social structure, etc? Go ahead and change them to your liking, then see how that impacts the world! This is your Clan, after all, play with it how you'd like.

Focus on what's interesting to you! At the end of the day, this is your project, and you should enjoy working on it. If something doesn't interest you like it used to, you can take a break from it and find a different focus, or toss that part entirely and start over. Do what makes you happy!

I hope this is helpful! Sorry for rambling haha. Thank you so much for sharing your new Clan, I wish you the best of luck with developing it :] If you end up sharing any more on Tumblr feel free to send it to me, I'd love to see what you come up with! Have a great day/night!
