Welcome to Call of The Night, a Warrior cat inspired ARPG where danger and mystery lurk in the shadows. In this world, your cats must navigate through the thick forests and eerie landscapes, testing their courage, loyalty and relationships. The clans are facing dark times and only the bravest cats can rise to the challenge. Will you?

a cat, seemingly woved of pure moonlight itself, pawed toward you with a grace that made the shadows quiver. her silvered pelt shimmered like the surface of a still lake under the stars, each movement casting ripples of light across the clearing.

her gaze, soft yet ancient, rested on you, and as her paws touched the earth, it felt as though time itself paused to listen.

"hello, young warrior," she murmured, her voice as soothing as a lullaby sung by the night breeze. "are you ready to lead your clan and take on the weight of your nine lives?"

the question hung in the air, as though the very moon above awaited your answer, its light bending down to anoint the path ahead.
note: this is a very genetically accurate arpg. but our community is super welcoming, do not be shy in asking questions!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Hello moonlings, and happy March! I am pleased to bring you our next mid-month announcement.
    We have quite a few things to update you all on, so please take a seat!

    First of all, the whole team wants to thank everyone for their responses to the survey we sent out last month. For the most part, you all had some genuinely enlightening and very interesting suggestions for how to improve COTN, and we're all so grateful for your input! Your comments and concerns have been synthesized into a sort of roadmap document, and many of them will be put into practice in the coming weeks and months! We will likely make this public as well, eventually, so you all can see what's coming next.
    For example, we've already begun working on a renovation to our nursery & prompts system (courtesy of our writers Canis and Comfypxl), as well as re-organizing the discord and improving community engagement. A lot is still going on behind the scenes, so be prepared for future development and construction.

    Next I wanted to address staff transparency and punctuality, because this was a common concern. We will all be making an active effort to be more accountable and present in our community going forward!
    COTN's other owner, Beeqlass, will be taking a break for a while due to circumstances beyond their control, in order to take care of themself. But in their absence, I will be taking over most executive function and the brunt of leadership work.
    As for other staff updates, our GA SkyWishes21 has been promoted to a full nursery artist! You may see them around creating litters from time to time. And we are equally excited to announce that we have a new archivist, JolleeFroot! They will be helping us stay on track and keeping things flowing smoothly behind the scenes.


    And finally, mods have discussed and decided that we are temporarily going to be closing founder forms. This is in effort not to overwhelm our current artists, who are focusing on event work and clearing backlog at the moment.
    Don't worry, anyone who has already submitted a founder form will have theirs claimed and completed! But the thread is closed for any new forms, until our artists' queue is clear and/or we have a larger team again!


    Please note, you do NOT need a founder to participate in COTN. Founders are meant to just be a free cat that you get, regardless of what rank they actually take in your clan/lore.
    Please still feel free to try out for adopts and create MYOs, and if you want to help us bolster our ranks, put in an entry at the staff search! We are always looking for new staff of all kinds, and there will be lots of opportunity for you to help our team in the future!

    That is all for now. Thank you for your continued support everyone, and have a marvelous March!

      ☪ Do my cats have to have warrior names?
    Not at all! They can be tribe names, warrior names, or a custom naming system!

      ☪ Does my clan have to work the same as clans in the books?
    Your clan can function however you like - fantasy clans, clans inspired by the books, different themes, time periods, custom ranks, we allow full creativity!

      ☪ Can I have NPCs in my clan?
    You may use NPC cats - official COTN ones or not - to help develop your clan. These cats cannot be recognized as official COTN cats, though, so they cannot be a focus within explore!

      ☪ Does my tortie need to be female?
    We do not like AGABs, so torties can be male, gingers can be female, etc. This does not effect breeding purposes!

      ☪ Can homosexual cats have kits together?
    Yes! As we do not keep track of AGABs, any gender may breed and produce bundles of joy!

      ☪ How do I know when I've leveled up?
    This will be noted in explore responses, and in our archive documents!

      ☪ Do founders/breedings/MYOs cost anything?
    Founders + breedings are always free, along with all adopts. MYOs can be bought for fireflies or c$, and may be designed by yourself or someone else!

      ☪ Can I give my cat accessories?
    Yes - they may have any accessories and companions you wish! Please note, you'll have to add them yourself, or commission an artist to do so!

      ☪ How many clans can I own?
    In COTNs explore system, you can use up to two in our mechanics. Lore wise though, you may have as many as you wish, as long as you keep to two for explore purposes!

Since times long gone by, your ancestors have passed down tales of ancient clans that lived off the land and owned their own destinies. Cats which worshiped the stars and believed they would go into those great lights in the sky when they died in order to lead the next generation.

You have left your previous life, be it as a house-cat, a stray bouncing from alley to alley, or a feral wanderer, in order to chase the dream of these ancient clans.
