Riverclan: Mates

When cats become mates in Riverclan it is celebrated and made into a ceremony. The mates are given gifts of pretty shells and rocks to add to their newly shared nest, and the pair, or more, carefully weave necklaces together to represent their love. The Pod Mother is expected to call a meeting to officiate the connection with a speech, ending with the mates saying the phrase “Mirra welcome us together”.

Becoming mates with someone in Riverclan is a big big deal. It’s you proclaiming that you would love this cat through sickness, health, mistakes, triumphs and death itself. It’s a declaration of loyalty to love above all else and Riverclan sees this as a beautiful thing. When it’s not causing problems of course. Because of this belief that marriage is a sign of true loyalty, if a cat requests to stop being mates with their partner, the whole clan would shame and shun the cat, especially if the mate does not want to separate as well.

Arranged mateships do not happen in Riverclan, they simply do not believe it is right, and refuse to take part in the mere suggestion of mates who do not truly love each other. To Riverclan, gender does not matter, love is love and they will support it within their clan.

[mourningsbane]

I couldn’t find any info on mourningsbane (is it a plant you created for the story?) buutttt I do know that lilies are poisonous to cats, which is just casually growing in the healer’s den… hmmm suspicious. As for why Tanglefern would (theoretically) do this? I have no clue! Bearface and Honeyspring were friends, but that’s about as much as I know! Maybe his biggest mistake was killing Honeyspring too early

Having a blast reading this and throughly enjoying the art with it, I can’t wait to see where this goes!!

Mourningsbane (and its partner, Clottingroot, was created for the story! Mourningsbane itself, though resembling lilies, is not a true lily. It's actually in the Veratrum genus and contains veratridine and 2-Deoxyjervine.

Clottingroot is a flowering plant that heavily mimics Mourningsbane to deter predation. It's called Clottingroot by the clans because its roots are gathered, crushed, and rubbed into moss to encourage blood clotting.

It's an easy mistake to make, isn't it?

Lambpaw, like every other healer apprentice before him, traveled to the Moonshell to be granted StarClan's approval. When he stared at his reflection in the massive, iridescent shell, he couldn't help but feel anxiety gnawing at him. His mentor, Salmonfleck, gently urged him on. Lambpaw touched his nose to the salty water within the shell.

He awoke in a place that nothing could have prepared him for. Gone were the lush forests and starry skies that Salmonfleck had told him of. Everything was dull and lifeless. The air was so still he could hear the blood in his veins. Fog shrouded the forest like a blanket. A single star hung in the grey sky, giving off cold light. Worst of all... there were no StarClan cats to be seen--

--until the fog began taking shape.

Thunderclan: Formation

Thunderclan was created by the Legendary Lions Thunder, one of the destined Five. Born to Star along with his siblings Solar Sky and Jay’s River, he was the most powerful and chivalrous of the three. He helped teach his nieces in morality and strength when they were old enough, and brought in many cats to their group through fiery speeches and promises.

After the death of both his father and his mate, Lions Thunder followed his brothers when they decided to leave their territory, searching for a new life away from the grief and hardship of their previous home. More cats joined their travelling group, and they all split once they came across the land that would become their new home. 

Lions Thunder took over part of the forest closer to the marsh, leaving the rest of the pines to Solar Sky’s group. During this time, Lions Thunder took in a cat named Bumble, who knew every language on this side of the mountains, a key cat for communications between the group and those not in it, including those who wanted to join.

However, when Solar Sky began pushing against his territory, Lions Thunder was quick to panickedly attempt to take Jays River’s territory in return, causing fighting among all the groups. During the First full moon after the fighting began, the past family members agreed to meet together at the five trees in the middle of the territory to negotiate. 

The truce did not last long, and every cat threw themselves at each other. It was a pointless slaughter, and it was only when Star’s spirit and the spirits of the fallen in battle begged for the fighting to stop did they listen. Eight lives were gifted to those leaders who were worthy, and those who were not were cast aside as the dead were buried.

Lions Thunder, now a Star, led his clan the best he could with his new lives, appointing two cats to lead in his stead if he could no longer. Leading them through a crisis of faith and attacks from twolegs, dogs and others, he appointed new ranks to serve proud in their chosen role, starting the creation of the system Thunderclan knows today. He died as he lived, leading his cats to the very end as Thunderclan’s first Leader.

Izumi of Jang Hui died young. She was sixteen and unwed. A kind child, protective and lonely—thus unfit for this world.

Izumi of Jang Hui was murdered. The Painted Lady was born out of hatred and grief. Her skin is painted red with the patterns of her scars. Her home is the river where the Dark Water Spirit dwells—he who found her, drowned and beautiful.

Build shrines by the river and pray for her good will. Harm her land or people and pray for mercy.
