HAI Everyone!
Recently i've been typing the history of Cat territory- but I found there was one problemo- the history was always growing, I have managed to get the history up to date as of right now- I am going to post it here on this thread, so that each of you individually can copy the history and edit it to your satisfaction.
By the way, this history is just a first draft.
Here it is:
The history of the clans.
The first group of cats to get together were called the tribe of endless sunlight, at first they were loosely knit but then they began to breed and eventually most of them were related, so they became closely knit.
Loners often joined the Tribe. Some of these loners stayed in the tribe for their whole life others left after just a few moons. After many Green Leafs (summers) a few loners joined the tribe and stayed for 4-5 Green leafs, they didn’t really fit into the tribe very well and tended to stick to each other rather than their tribe mates. These loners slowly knitted a closer and closer friendship, they all had one thing in common- they were all longhairs, several were kitty pets and all had kitty pet blood- resulting in their long hair, they all found the tribes territory unbearably hot and slept in the shade, after a few moons like this the cats begged their leader to move the camp towards the mountain where it was cooler, the leader who happened to be a sphinx ignored them since his hair was so short he would freeze living near the mountain. Hearing the cats plea several members of the tribe joined them- one or two other longhairs who were raised in the tribe and three short hairs who were family to some of the original loners.
The cats joined together and moved onto the mountain, the journey killed all but one of the short hairs of cold, and a two of the longhairs from predators, one of the Longhairs went blind from the glare of the snow, but the majority of the loners survived the trip and ended up at the very top of the mountain.
After a moon of living like this one cat went hunting and fell of the mountain during a blizzard, the cat slipped down till she reached a river, she was knocked unconcious. She fell down a waterfall and floated across a lake. She woke up to find herself on an Island. Meanwhile two of the loners on the mountain went to look for her, one of them fell down the waterfall and dies, the other one realizes and walks down to the bottom of the waterfall safely, the surviving cat sees the island and swims there, he and the she-cat live there for the rest of their lives, they have kits, many other loners join them and a tribe is formed- tribe of rushing stream.
Back on the mountain the loners have formed a tribe too- Tribe of falling snowflakes- they have also chosen a leader- Crimson and a healer- Moss .
They had begun to forget their ancestors- the cats that live in the sky- Tribe of blue skies, they thought that their ancestors were punishing them for leaving the tribe of Endless sunlight by letting many of the loners who left with them die.
The cats who left the original tribe die of old age and don’t tell the younger generation about the Tribe of blue sky’s, the ancestors are forgotten along with part of the tribe name which now becomes- Falling Snowflakes- the next leader Cloud changes the name to- Clan of falling Snowflakes- and shortens the naming system to two words. The next leader after that Mountainmist changes the name to Falling Snowflakes clan and changes her name to Mountainstar, she is the leader who is well known for creating Snowclans current camp and dens and creating the Apprentice-Warrior learning stage though she did not create apprentice names. The next after that -Moonstar- changes the name to Snowflakes clan and creates the 6 moons age limit to becoming an apprentice- before that kittens could choose to start training whenever they felt ready, she also created apprentice names so that the cats in her clan could tell whether a cat was still in training or not by his or her name. The next leader Froststar changed the name to Snowclan and created the deputy position because Snowclan was growing so much that he needed some support leading, he appointed Icefrost as his deputy. The current leader- Icestar was made leader when Froststar died, she chose to take up the other clans tradition of changing the second word of cats who were to young to train names to ‘kit’ (E.g. Applekit.) She also lead the battle on Streamclan which eventually destroyed that clan. She also created the belief of Snowclan that cats who die souls transfer into a cat who is born at exactly the same time as the cat who died, leaders were given the lives of 9 of their ancestors who all shared the same soul, Icestars religion grew and she lost her first life from green cough. Her second in the battle between Snowclan and Streamclan. Icestar appointed a deputy- Moondust, and a healer- Blossomfall, Blossomfall gave herself an apprentice- Winterpaw. Sadly Moondust died in a skirmish against Twilightclan and Warriorclan and Icestar appointed a new deputy- Heronstrike.
Back in the tribe of Endless Sunlight a few cats had taken to the trees! They were so good at hunting squirrels and bird and loved climbing trees that they choose to move into a forest, they still called themselves part of the tribe of Endless sunlight but they lived out of sight of the tribe- though they were only one nights travel from the tribe. Slowly these cats began to move further into the forest until they declared independence from the main clan, and became loners again. They began to hunt at Twilight when the squirrels were sleeping and the birds were just waking up. They still stuck together though. They bred and came up with a name for their group of cats- Cats of the twilight forest. They gave them selves a leader- Owl, and a healer- Bracken. They stuck to loner names and never again choose to call themselves a tribe. Owl was unhappy with the large differences between the tribe and his group of cats, he didn’t like how short the loner names were and changed his name to Owlcry, he also ordered any Queens who gave birth from the moment he changed his name to make sure their kittens had two parts to their names, starting a new tradition.
The next leader Lakeshine had a strong connection with the dead cats that made up the tribe of blue sky’s, he was the one who was told by his ancestors of Snowclan and its ways, and ordered to take many of them into his clan. Not one to disobey Lakeshine changed his name to Lakestar in coordination with his ancestors orders. His ancestors also ordered that he train his cats in hunting and fighting from the age of 6 moons, he agreed and discreetly began holding group training sessions which caught on and soon the whole clan was training one on one with a younger cat. He also took on an apprentice- Willowbranch who soon became his assistant and helper with leading the ever growing clan... He called Willowbranch his ‘Deputy’ after realizing she had a talent for organizing Hunting patrols and other events of daily life.
The next leader Willowstar was made leader upon the death of Lakestar she was the one who finished the tribe of blue sky’s orders by changing the cats of the twilight forests name to Twilightclan and making cats second names who were to young to train ‘kit’ so that the whole clan was aware that they were not ready to train yet, she also changed cats who were in training second names to ‘paw’ to show that they were still in training and had to be excused for any mistakes they made. Willowstar made Greenleaf her deputy and appointed a new healer long after the death of Bracken- Lightdust, Lightdust took on an apprentice healer- Littlepaw.
The next leader Greenstar made the giving of the second part of a cats name a bigger deal- since after all it signified the end of a cats training- by making each cats naming ceremony a whole clan event. He received the orders of a warrior code from the tribe of blue skys and immediately put it in effect. He also appointed a new deputy- Twilightheart and made Littlepaw the new healer after Lightdusts death, he gave Littlepaw her ceremony and Littlepaw became Littleleaf, Littleleaf took on an apprentice- Willowpaw.
The current leader Twilightstar also has strong connection with the tribe of Blue sky’s and agreed to her ancestors wish that they be re-named Skyclan. Twilightstar also let the oldest cats in her clan retire from hunting and the duties of warriors to let them rest, Littleleaf retired and shortly afterwards died. Willowleaf became the healer and called herself a ‘medicine cat’ Willowleaf gave herself an apprentice- Fallenpaw and trained her apprentice until she became Fallenheart, Fallenheart later appointed her own apprentice- Nightpaw. Twilightstar appointed a deputy- Phantomshadow and her own apprentice- Goldenpaw.
It was during Willowstars rule that a bunch of cats born in Twilightclan rebelled, they didn’t want to be called ‘Twilightclan’ They were the cats who preferred to hunt during the daylight, they hated trees and slept on the edge of the forest, they petitioned to change the name to something that suited them- such as ‘Lightclan’ But were turned down, they angered at this and left to form their own Clan, they travelled across the forest till they reached the tribe of endless sunlight which they stayed at for a moon, one cat from them left and had kittens with the tribe. The rest continued on to the scrub lands, where they got to work setting up a camp, they believed in the tribe of blue sky’s but were less reliant on them than Twilightclan, they found that the cats in their new clan all had one thing in common- they were good at battle skills, this clan named themselves ‘Warriorclan’ and appointed a leader- Goldenstar who choose a deputy- Firelake and a Healer- Silvertalon who gave himself a apprentice- Darkpaw. Their clan was small but steadily got bigger.
The next leader of Warriorclan Firestar heard of the warrior code from a cat of Twilightclan who came to join them, he agreed that it was a good idea and applied it to his clan, he also took on the order of the tribe of Blue sky’s that their ancestors were now called Skyclan.
The next leader Cougarstar set up borders for Warriorclans hunting territory so that his cats did not annoy the tribe of endless sunlight. He joined together with Twilightclan to gain back territory that Snowclan had stolen off both of them through a battle and won. He appointed a deputy- Shadowice, but died before he announced a healer.
The current leader Shadowstar appointed a deputy- Midnightstorm.
The tribe of endless sunlight itself was changing- The tribe of blue skies changing it’s name to Skyclan had upset the tribe- their stone teller went to the ancestors and found that the ancestors wanted the tribe to change- it must now be called Sunclan- and the new clan would follow the warrior code, use the new naming system devised by the other clans and appoint deputy’s and medicine cats. The stone teller at the time told his tribe this and the general reaction was- I suppose the ancestors know whats right, the tribe seemed to adjust easily but a few of the cats were fiercly against this change, those cats were told to agree with their ancestors or leave. The cats left- they went to the tribe of rushing stream but were exiled there to because those cats had chosen to change aswell, the cats kept going and formed a new tribe near the ocean called the tribe of Splashing waves.
Sunclan was now a clan not a tribe and several things changed- the tribes stoneteller became their leader, he immediately changed every cats name to a warrior name including his own- he became Sunstar and he appointed a deputy- Nightfrost and a medicine cat- Rabbitleap who chose an apprentice- Waterpaw. Sunstar then set up patrols along the new clans borders to mark where their territory began.
The tribe of rushing stream changed their name to Streamclan and chose a leader- Riverstar- who appointed a deputy- Steamflower - and a med cat- Dreamwish who chose an apprentice- Flamepaw. Riverstar also changed all her cats names into warrior names.
Riverstar died of greencough the next moon and Streamstar became leader, she was the first leader of stream clan to gain nine lives from Skyclan, she appointed a deputy- Weaselfur and Dreamwish her healer retired into the elders den, Flamepaw gained his warrior name- Flameheart and became the medicine cat.
The current leader- Weaselstar appointed a deputy- Duskpelt.
In Sunclan Sunstar died of white cough as he was very old, Nightstar became leader, Nightstar appointed a deputy- Sparrowfur- and Rabbitleap retired into the elders den after Waterpaw gained her warrior name- Waterfall. Waterfall appointed an apprentice- Silverpaw.
Nightstar was bitten by a wolf while on patrol and went crazy with rabies she left the clan to become a loner. Sparrowstar became leader, Sparrowstar appointed a deputy- Leopardclaw, and gave Silverpaw her warrior name- Silverblaze. Sparrowstar also recruited some loners into her clan as warriors before she retired to the elders den and shortly after that joined Skyclan.
The current leader Leopardstar appointed a deputy- Valleyshadow. And Waterfall died during an outbreak of green cough- Silverblaze became medicine cat, a few moons later Silverblaze appointed an apprentice- Silverpaw.
As I said before this history is in no way finished- but I thought y'all might want to take a look at it anyways.
