[wolfclans-story]

More lore:

Why each clan has the name they do:

Wolfclan is named for the caves around their old camp that make howling sounds when the winds blow through them. The other two clans thought there were wolves on the beach and avoided it, which Wolfclan’s first leader, Coralstar, took advantage of to protect his clan from outsiders, leading to the now defunct rumors that the clan lived with a wolf

Owlclan was named for where they made their camp. Their first leader, Hollystar, killed an owl that lived in a hollowed out tree surrounded by raspberry bushes after the bird attack one of his clanmates. He claimed the tree as his den and named the clan Owlclan

Mooseclan is named for the moose skeleton under the tree above their camp tunnels. Their first leader Flintstar and his mate Silversong picked the name when they chose their camp

I’ll be making a map of Wolfclan’s territory sometime tonight

[wolfclans-story]

I offer to yall: LORE!!!

So! Wolfclan is one of three clans living on an island in an unspecified alaska-ish sort of area. When the tide is low, theres also a narrow path to the mainland. The island has a variety of terrain, from open field, to rocky, to wooded. At the center of the island, there’s a large pond. On one side of the pond, there’s a small, sheltered hollow that the three clans hold monthly gatherings at . On the other side there’s a weeping willow that leans towards the water on a small outcropping.

They call the willow “The Star Tree” both because of how the leaves look silvery like starlight at night under the moonlight, and because of the fireflies that constantly surround it that they believe to be the souls of their ancestors.

Wolfclan’s territory is rocky and full of cliffs and crevices, though they have a number of tidepools along the shore that they can typically find fish and seafood in, even in the winter when other prey is scarce. They started off in a camp near the shore, but eventually moved inland when the clan grew too large to live in the original camp. With the recent earthquake, the clan has moved back into their original camp.

Mooseclan, of of the other two clans is sort of an open tundra grassland once they leave the shoreline. They largely hunt birds and small rodents in the grass, though they too will turn to fishing as needed. They tend to be the most aggressive of the three clans about their resources. Their camp is an old fox den that was found abandoned, and has since been expanded by tunnelers.

Owlclan lives in a more wooded area, mostly pines and other evergreens. They tend to have the best herb supplies, and are largely nocturnal like the owls their clan is named for, hunting rodents and even larger mustelids under the cover of darkness. Their camp is a large sheltered hollow surrounded by raspberry bushes that hav been carefully cultivated over the years from just a few, to surrounding the whole camp.

Moon 2

Not long after Antlerstar received his nine lives, Bluekit recovered from her grief to find him in the process of loosing one from a bit of bad prey.

She brought him water soaked moss and buried the bad mouse outside the camp. When he came to, she chastised him for being a mousebrain and brought him some juniper berries.

When asked how she knew what to give him, she told him Mousesnarl had told her

[wolfclans-story]

Moon 1: New Leader

Antlermoss waited until Bluekit was asleep for the night, then made the journey to The Star Tree alone. He'd been once, a few seasons ago when he was still an apprentice. He never thought he'd be back here again, at least, not like this, and not so soon

Fireflies hovered in and around the branches of the sacred willow tree, the leaves of said tree looking silver in the moonlight. It was situated on a small outcropping overlooking the gathering pond, and if he looked closely, he could see the edge of the gathering hollow the clans met each full moon on the other side of the pond.

As Antlermoss approached the willow, he peered upwards into its branches, wondering if he was really the right pick. What if Moonstar was wrong? What if Starclan refused to grant him a leader name or his lives?

He shook his head to clear it, and curled up in the roots of the tree. Sleep came quickly and when he opened his eyes...

[wolfclans-story]

Moon 1

Antlermoss hasn't been to receive his lives yet, but has instead spent the last moon caring for Bluekit and traveling back and forth between the new and old camps to recover and bury the bodies of his clanmates. The ones he could find, at least.

Bluekit's mother is among the cats who must have been buried under too much rock and Rubble, and Antlermoss cannot find her, no matter muw much he tries.

Eventually, he is forced to give up on anyone he hasn't already found and buried properly himself, resigning himself to never knowing their resting places.

He returns to camp to talk to Bluekit, trying to explain this to her, but the young kit is beside herself and refuses to listen to him.

Moon 0

Antlermoss takes Bluekit and finds a safe path down to the bottom of the cliff, finding a safe place for her to hide before nervously looking for any other survivors.

He hears loud, wet coughing, rushing to the sound and finding Moonstar laying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. Calling out, he rushes to his side in a panic.

Racking his brain trying to think of what to do to save his leader, he barely notices the clan's deputy, Meadowtooth, laying dead nearby. Moonstar coughs again before speaking, spitting up more blood as he does.

"I leave things to you Antlermoss"

"NO! I can still-" Antlermoss stumbles for his words as Moonstar shakes his head sadly and continues

"Take the Survivors to the old camp," he starts, his voice weak and clearly strained from the effort, "from before we moved inland"

Antlermoss listens tearfully, nodding his head in confirmation to his leader's final request

Moonstar smiles weakly "You'll do great things..." he begins to trail off and his eyes close, his last words scarcely above a whisper "Antlerstar"

Antlermoss presses his nose tearfully to Moonstar's forehead, tears silently running down his cheek fur. He'll never be the leader Moonstar was, starclan above he's not ready to be a leader at all! But Bluekit needs him now, if there's any other survivors, they need him too.

He buries Moonstar alone, returning to Bluekit and nudging her awake to leave. Antlermoss leads her away from the clan that she knew, towards the sea at the other side of the territory

Moon 0

Antlermoss stands at the edge of a newly formed cliff that was once connected to Wolfclan's camp. He holds back Bluekit from the edge, looking down at the destruction below.

Most of his clanmates are buried under the rubble, and the ones he can see? well, he wishes he couldn't. He pulls Bluekit back further from the edge and into his chest to shield her eyes from the carnage. This isn't anything a kit should ever have to see.
