Prompt:
The sable has many things which one may call names, yet only one that is true. This name is a closely guarded secret, for it is not a name given by any mother or father - the sable had neither - but a name that is a reflection of everything the sable is; their very being condensed into but a few syllables. This is names as the fae know them. Every being is born with such a name attached to themselves, though only the fae can hear their true name as the universe whispers it around them. These names have power: to speak it is to invoke the named and lay them bare for all to see. As such, the true name of any creature is seldom spoken, although all fae - including the sable - know theirs.

But mortals seem to live and breathe names. Everything they see they lay a name upon, from the dirt of the earth to the vast sky above. They cannot conceive of being named yet nameless, and so because the sable loves them so it gives them names to call it. In this century, the sable is called Mossbearer, and it gives this name to all who choose to follow it.

Cat Name: Hemlock Foot
Gender: male
Rank: Forest Shadow
Clan: Glacierclan
Age: 23 moons
Prompt:

Hemlock Foot has never really been good at calling things as they are. This sable isn't called that or by any name. He simply refers to the sable as 'mother'. For reasons only known above, the sable took pity on a poor lost kit, and raised it, however, it now relies on food from the cat, due to age (and laziness, but don't tell Hemlock Foot).

Cat Name: hyldemoer
Gender: female
Rank: protector of the forest; wanderer
Clan: wayward
Age: 1+ years
Prompt: hyldemoer and her partner, kuturi (short for hākaturi), are inseparable beings. hyldemoer (otherwise known as "hylde") is a tree spirit; the mother tree spirit, and needs to be prayed to before altering the forest in any way. kuturi is a forest spirit, it's true protector by seeking revenge on those who abuse it and rewarding those who show remorse and respect for the sacredness of the forest. they will appear to others in a physical form more than hyldemoer, more specifically at night when cover is denser due to the darkness. the two are neither good or evil, doing whatever it takes to protect what is sacred, and to seek justice and punishment for what cannot defend itself.

→ hyldemoer was named after the "elder mother" (also referred to as "hyldemoer") from english and scandinavian folklore. she is the guardian/protector of (elder) trees and must be spoken/prayed to before trees are felled.
→ kuturi was named after the "hākaturi" from māori mythology. they are the guardians of the forest who are tasked with avenging the forest from those who harm it. they will give aid to those who are in need of help, as long as they're being respectful. they also believe in second chances; providing assistance to those who show remorse.

Gender: Male
Rank: Scholar // Bestiaries

Age: 550 years
Prompt:

BogSplash is not good at naming things, when he met Sable he asked "What are you?" and Sable said "I'm a sable", and so from then on that was his name.

Cat Name: Reve & Mara
Gender: Male
Rank: Scout
Clan: Fallen Rose Kingdom
Age: 3 years
Prompt:

While Reve means dream, Mara means nightmare. Although cats do not understand why Reve would name his sable that. Names hold lots of meaning within the Kingdom and naming your pet nightmare worries the Kingdom. Reve refuses to explain the name to the cats within the Kingdom, which only raises the suspicion.

Cat Name: Metis Of A Sparrow.
Sable Companion Name: Penumbra.
Gender: Female.
Rank: Kataskopoi.
Clan: Astron.
Age: Forty-three moons.
Prompt: Metis Of A Sparrow duly serves as kataskopoi, or spy, under Astron - weathering a plethora of moons in lacking mistake within her wake. However, at the dawn of the one-hundred and seventh mission of hers, whereupon she had been spying on another colony beneath the strewn bathes of crimson drawn upon the eclipse of the moon aloft, a colony had managed to bear witness to her and subsequently sent three patrols in search of her, to capture and execute her endow punishment for her transgressions. Amidst their endeavor, she had obtained a canvas of lacerations etched into her flesh, her blood erupting in heedlessly frothing streams of viscous incarnadine trailing behind herself and allowing for the triplet of patrols to trail her position in tandem with languidly weakening her at the elapse of each beat.

In due course, Sparrow found herself cornered by the abundance of patrols circling the area and far too weak to properly make do with the battle knowledge she had retained. The patrols swiftly took advantage of her weakened state and forced her to the course earth beneath their paws, with the lead of the second patrol firmly pinning her and preparing the killing blow prior to being knocked aside and mauled by a sable. Fearful of their lives, the patrols departed, leaving the lead of the second patrol and the kataskopoi for dead - whereupon her consciousness faltered, the last thing she had bore witness to being that of the sable standing afore her limp body.

Upon waking from her unconsciousness, Sparrow found herself within the confines of a neat cave with the pulp of vines and aloe sheening her wounds, greeted with the sight of the sable bearing a plump rabbit in it's maws thereafter. Amidst the three days she had spent within the sable's company, as a means to ensure her healing and restoring her strength, she had come to name the sable "Penumbra", derived from the shadows cast during an eclipse. She later introduced the sable to her clan as a companion of hers that saved her life from execution punishment, with Penumbra receiving the honorary title of "Kataskopoi Iatros", or "Spy Medic", due to such.

Edited as a means to accommodate what I feel may be in violation of the rules of this site, which I am adjusting myself to.

Age: 5yr
Prompt:
Sable name: Ural the Eluder (Ural for short)
Urals's name came in two parts from two different times in her life. As young sable, she was known for being slippery and elusive when playing with her siblings. Whether it was wrestling or other games she always seemed to be able to weasel her way out of anything, thus being named The Eluder.
Ironic, what happen next.

Still young, but hitting that age when young sables began to branch out, Eluder went off on a solo adventure. Unfortunately for her, trappers had recently moved into the area and discovered sign of the valuable sables. None in her family had ever encountered humans before so they didn't know to be wary of hidden dangers in the woods. Unluckily, Eluder stumbled right into one of their traps.
She doesn't like to reminisce over this time in her life. Weeks spent captive in the hands of the trapper, she had begun to give up home. Kept in a tiny cage and transported far far far away from home until nothing looked remotely familiar. She brushes over it and gets to the better part. She was looking out of the small holes in the cage, despairingly, when she saw some movement. She froze and focused on the spot. There it was again! It was a cat, slinking around the camp.

Wilythought had stumbled upon the trapper's camp. Normally he steers clear of humans, but he had a special distaste for trappers. They stole his clan's food, and any cats not carefully enough were at risk of getting caught anytime the poachers moved through with their traps. He couldn't do much directly to a human, but he could make their life more unpleasant. He went around clawing small holes in any food or water container he could find. He shredded cloth. As he was about to leave, he caught scent of something. They still had a couple live animals with them! He quickly slunk over and inspected the cages. Fortunately, it was a kind he was familiar with, and he was able to get them open.

Eluder got a whiff of cat and then the door to her cage sprung open. She leapt out and away as quick as she could. She ran for a bit but once she realized she was truly free and not being chased she began to circle back. She caught wind of the cat and tracked him down a couple miles from the camp. After communicating that she came in peace, they began to travel together. When exchanging names, she paused. "Well..I was caught once but now I know better. I vow to never be caught again so I suppose I can keep my name. I really miss my family and our mountain though I don't think there's any hope in me finding my way back now. In memory and honor of where I came from, I name myself Ural. Ural the Eluder so that a piece of them is with me always." (Ural is a mountain range where sable can be found)

With that, Ural asked Wilythought if she could join up with him. What started as an unlikely meeting grew into a lifelong bond and friendship.

This was so hard to choose, everyone’s entries were so creative and I loved getting peeks into such a wide variety of Clans’ worldbuilding!! But ultimately this one spoke to me, I’m so intrigued by Mossbearer’s story! Congrats!
