Oct. 9 ; I'm going to try and get this back up, ok, ok lD -Dawn
A long time ago, four Clans were in the forest. ShadowClan, ThunderClan, RiverClan, and WindClan. All seemed peaceful among these Clans, but everything was soon to go wrong. As known to do before, ShadowClan began to cause trouble. They started attacking patrols and stealing prey. WindClan and RiverClan could take it no more after about three fourths of both of their cats dissapeared. Barely any of ThunderClan's cats dissapeared, and of course they thought that ThunderClan had a pact with ShadowClan.
So they left. WindClan and RiverClan together trecked even farther. Over mountains, through forests and across rivers. They went as far away as they could get, until they came apon a large territory. They split up, WindClan finding camp and their territory on one side and RiverClan on the other. They shared one border, but the lands were completely different.
RiverClan changed thier name to BrokenClan. Having lost most of thier cats and loosing thier homeland, they thought it would fit. Thier territory was marshy, foggy, and seemed deserted. In some places, a cat could easily sink. In others, firm ground is there, and in even other places only a cat's paws would sink or get wet. There were few trees but a bountiful of shrubs and bushes, which had good prey that they got use to. One part of that became their camp, an there they live, years and years later.
WindClan changed thier name to SilentClan. They had lost most of thier cats aswell, and had been yet again terrorized. They liked keeping to theirselves, and thought it fitting. SilentClan's territory is very grassy and has many trees. In most places of the territory, a taller-then-average warrior could walk as straight as possible in it and not be seen. But in others, the grass only covers an apprentice's paw. It's very easy to slink around in the grass, and you could always find prey. If not, a plenty of birds stay seated in the trees all through the day. And that's where they live, the many years later.
Alone and out of harm's way, the two Clans lived happily. They found a lovely place for Medicine Cat meetings, and had an interesting area for a Gathering. They found StarClan had followed them and said they had done the right thing. But how long would their peace and quiet last?
The answer? Until a new group of foreign cats move in to the south. They are nothing like the Clans, not even like the ancient BloodClan. Their ranks and beliefs, however they appear the same, are completely different. They are the Iridescents, brought into life by the Soarers.
A nice sun shines overhead, and light, fluffy white clouds makes the sun's rays night so hot. A breeze can be felt every now and then, and the occassional grey sky. But other then that, the weather is pretty good.
Season : Greenleaf
Illnesses : None at the moment
Prey Supply : Pretty Good
Next Gathering: Undecided
Next Moonstream: Undecided
xx. Rules and Information Rules are a need, and so you need to read them. Maybe you think you know everything there is to know, but we could stick some crazy thing in there that you don't know. Also check in here to read about a more detailed History of these Clans and the Iridescent's. Other good things about the Clans are aswell put in here.
xx. Take another step... (4 sub-boards) ...past the border. This is where you may make a character. Here you will find the biography form, and maybe a few other things. Post your filled out biography here, and wait to be accepted. You may not roleplay until your biography is moved by an admin. There are subboards where the biographies will be moved, so do not post in them. Alliances will also be posted here.

xx. Searching Here you can post a thread of all your cats if they're looking for anything. Friend, mate, enemy, etc. You don't have to do this, but it's an easy way to figure out who you're cat will be associated with. Moderator: Dawn

xx. BrokenClan Camp Hidden in the tall, wispy moorland of BrokenClan territory is this Clan's camp. It is tucked away neatly in the landscape, undetecable from outsiders. This place use to be home to a family of badgers ages ago. Their tunnels and dens were dug too close together and collapsed, leaving the brutes homeless. The wind eroded away all of the dirt, leave in large depression in the ground. The ancestors of BrokenClan found this place and made it their camp. The leader sleeps in a large dug out den right at the entrance to the camp. A tunnel left uncollapsed towards the back of the camp branches off to two main dens; the Warriors' Den and the Apprentices' Den. The two are really close together, and conversations pass through the dirt walls often. The Medicine Cat's Den is beside the leader's, and the Nursery is to the left side of camp with moss overhanging the entrance. Elders of BrokenClan sleep under a collage of bushes by the nursery, where it is dry and warm. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The River and Stream The eastern border of BrokenClan territory is surrounded by a river. It is too deep and wide for any cat to cross, though many have tried. Fish are abundant here, and the Clan has learned how to capture them. The river's source is somewhere in the mountains toward the north. On the western border of BrokenClan is the stream. This small trickle of water is known also as the Moonstream, but the actually place is further upstream in a cave. Therefore, BrokenClanners are allowed to hunt here aswell. On the other side of the stream is where SilentClan territory begins. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The Meadow Closer to the Gathering River and thier Iridescent border, is a large meadow. Grasses are high, but not too high, and come up to about a kit's shoulder. Small rodents are found througout the meadow, and the occassional bird searching for one of these rodents. It's a very peaceful place, and the Clan cats enjoy it alot. Moderator: Dawn

xx. SilentClan Camp SilentClan Camp is in mainly the back part of thier territory. It is surrounded by trees and bushes, pretty much like the rest of thier territory. x. The Leader's den is a fallen tree. Thier den rests in it, and when calling meetings they go ontop of it; The Hollow Ledge. x. The medicene cat's den is in a larger bush that has brambles in it, providing for actually very nice shelter. Holes in the ground are dug where various herbs can be kept. x. The warrior's and apprentice's dens are pretty much alike. To get into both, there is a tunnel to go through. Once there, you reach a den underneath there, supported by the tree's roots above it. The warrior's hole is a bit bigger then the apprentice's. x. The Nursery and Elder's den is on the other side of camp. They are in two different bushes, both with brambles and tree roots supporting the shelter and keeping them dry and safe. Moderator: Dawn

xx. Lookout Close to the Valley, a large, hollowed out tree is there. It's a very old oak tree, which was chopped down to where a taller warrior could most likely jump onto it. There are a few stumps around it, so other cats could get onto it. From ontop of it, you can easily see down into the valley and all through it. Also a wide area around this can be seen; but the grasses do block a good amount of the view.Inside the tree, a large area is permitted for training. Around it, tall grasses and bushes are there for good hunting practice. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The Valley Closer to the middle of thier territory and more to thier Iridescent border then the BrokenClan border, their territory dips down and forms a valley. In this valley, prey is bountiful and a small pond is set in the middle of it. Many smaller creatures and even rabbits reside in this valley. The grasses are even higher here, so it's very simple to catch prey. But sometimes foxes and badgers lurk around here, so the Valley can also be a very dangerous place. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The Camp The Iridescent camp is very different than a Clan camp. They live underground, in possibly an old rabbit set. One main tunnel can be seen near the back of thier territory, thier enterance. Once gone into that tunnel, a cat not use to it could get easily confused with all the branches that go off. Most of them are just traps and are dead ends, eventually. If you follow that tunnel all the way back, you will find a very large area with a rock in the middle of it, and two smaller rocks set beside it. This is where the Ruler, Master, and Dignitary sit when calling a meeting. From that large area, other tunnels are branched off. The one to the left leads to thier dens and the Teacher's den. Back on the main tunnel and a few paces up to the right, down another tunnel is the hunter and fighter's dens. From the large area and to the back, down a tunnel and taking a left a few fox-lengths down is the Nursery and Learner's den. Other tunnels split off, and only the Iridescent cats know where they lead. Moderator: Dawn

xx. Tobiano Lake This is the Tobiano Lake. A few of the tunnels from the main camp lead up here, or a cat could simply walk. The Tobiano Lake is a beautiful sight. By daytime, it gleams and sparkles with the sun's rays being cast on it. It's very calm, and scaley fish reside in it aswell. And at night, the beauty continues. With moonbeams cast apon it, the lake seems to burst with light. It seems perfectly silver, and every detail can be seen. From the smallest fish to the largest lillypad. It really is a gorgeous sight. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The Trestle This is a bridge, formerly used by twolegs, and now abandoned. It's made out of wood, and goes over a river that flows through about half of thier territory. A few tunnels come up over here on their side, but none on the other side. A plentiful of fish swim through the river underneath it, but the bridge itself is what fascinates the cats. Over the many years, ivy and an assortment of other vines have grown onto it and made thier home there. Flowers bloom on it, a very odd assortment of flowers if they do say, and other odd plants are found along the river's edges. Moderator: Dawn

xx. The Pond The Pond is a popular place for the rogues and loners that live in this area. It's large, with lillypads and various fish living in it. Many cats are seen around these parts, and it's a great place to make friends, or enemies in some cases.
xx. Gathering River The Gathering River is the main river that is pretty much the border of SilentClan and BrokenClan. At a Gathering, each Clan stands on thier side of the river, except for leaders. There is a narrow strip of land that they sit on and speak to the two Clans. The Clans are very seperated, and rarely. go across the river to the other Clan's territory. Moderator: Dawn

xx. Moonstream The Moonstream is the place where Medicene Cats go to share dreams with StarClan, and where leaders go to get thier lives. The river that serves as the Gathering River flows into a cave that the cats enter. After going through a tunnel, you reach the back of the cave. There you will find a small pool that the river flows into. Crouching beside it, all a cat has to do is put thier nose to the water and they will be connected with StarClan. Moderator: Dawn
