The Tribe of Falling Feathers

One tribe, three packs.
Every moon, these three packs come together to discuss the future of their tribe: the kits.
Every moon, a stone casting helps decide the fate of the cats in the Dove, Chickadee, and Cardinal packs that make up the tribe. As mates are chosen, some cats are forced to leave the pack they've known their whole life and follow their new mate the the new pack, leaving behind their friends and family until the next moon for the next ceremony. That is how the tribe has always worked, and how the tribe has managed to stay so vibrant and full of new life and new ideas throughout generations.
At first, the tribe was small, and only took up the area that is now run by the Cardinal Pack. However, as this new idea of leaders and healers picking mates for the rest of the tribe, the tribe has blossomed and turned into a group of three packs that work together to help further their safety and lifestyle for the good of the tribe. As they all come from the same tribe, the packs tend to not bother each other and get along, which is why the arranged mates work so well. However, every once and a while a disruption might occur...
It's your job, as a cat of one of the three packs, to help keep peace between the three packs...or disrupt the peace that has stayed between the three for centuries. Either way, you must continue to follow the tribe rules if you want to survive, so:
choose how to live your life, but choose wisely.

----------------------Rules:

+ Be polite, please. Don't start complaining for no
reason.
+ I would appreciate you to make at least one of each
gender before making whatever characters you want.
You are not limited to one male-one female.
+ Keep your forums as neat and tidy as you can.
+ Post forums on the discussion thread.
+ Make sure to include all basics in your forum.
+ If you have a question, contact me or one of the
mods or co-owners, as they can usually help you
out.
+ Keep oorp chat in the discussion thread.
+ LGBT+ Cats are accepted and can be made if you
so choose.
+ No cats can have similar names, etc. 'Fish
that swims through stream' and 'Fish that swims
upriver', try to make it so they won't have the
same nicknames.
+ I expect at least 3 sentences to a reply. It's very
hard to reply to anything lower than that, so at least
do that much.
+ To go along with that, you can not write in script. Do
not try to get away with a sentence as '*walks over*
*Eats prey* hey, how are you?' That does not fly here.
+ If you are going to code your responses, try
to code them so they are easy to read and don't clutter
it too much. Otherwise it will take longer figuring them
out than it will to read them.
+ If you want a recap/have open cats, talk about
it in the discussion thread.
+ You may suggest prophecies, but remember to
keep them equal for all cats, not just your own.
+ Try to read back, don't just ask for a recap every
three posts.

territory

The Tribe of Falling Feathers resides in northern Iowa, within the Midwest of the United States of America. Each of the packs live in a slightly different biome, although it is close enough to each other that they are never too far away to walk to another pack. Just far enough away so that all of the packs can get enough food for each other.

cardinal pack

The cardinal pack resides within the more hilly, prairie style area of Iowa. It is known for it's abundance of rabbits and medowlarks, and the space is open. The camp of this pack is located in a small ditch, where all the cats share the area to sleep together while guards rotate night shifts so that they don't get attacked by hawks while they are sleeping.

dove pack

The dove pack lives within a slightly forested area south-west of the cardinal pack and south-east of the chickadee pack. This area is known for being full of mice, voles, and squirrels, along with plenty of birds. Being the most prey-full part of the tribe, sometimes they find other packs hunting on their land, although it's never a problem, as there is always prey to go around.

chickadee pack

The chickadee pack is located to the west of the cardinal pack and to the north-west of the dove pack. This pack takes control of the flatland, and is known for catching hares, large birds, and even the occasional snake. These cats are known to have it hardest when it comes to food, so it's no surprise that their camp is located near the dove pack's border, so they can occasionally pop in on their side to grab something at the edge for their camp.

the brook of casting stones

The Brook of Casting Stones is the meeting place for the three packs each moon. There, they gather pebbles and figure out the arranged mates and cast the stones to figure out where the new mates will end up.

beliefs

➥ Kits are named after the first thing their mother sees after birth.
➥ Leaders and Healers are not allowed to have mates or kits.
➥ Leaders and Healers are the only ones that decide on the arranged mates.
➥ If you can make it, you are to meet with the other two packs every moon to hear the arranged pairings and cast stones to see where the cats end up.
➥ Only cats of the packs that include the cats paired may cast stones to decide which of their two packs the arranged mates end up in.
➥ If you catch prey, it must be shared with the entire pack, and you may not eat until there is enough food for everyone.
➥ Packs are to remain peaceful to each other, and will help each other in times of trouble.
➥ Leaders and Healers decide their successors during the one moon meeting with the other tribes.
➥ All news between packs should be shared frequently, often with a messenger or at the one moon meeting.
➥ Only cats between the ages 20-25 moons are included in the pairings at the one moon meeting.
➥ If you wish to retire, you will become an elder in whatever pack you wish to reside in until the end of your days.
➥ Kit-Mothers and Kits aren't allowed to come to the one moon meeting, as Kits are too young and Kit-Mothers must watch kits. However, if there is more than one Kit-Mother at the pack, only one must stay to watch the kits so the others can go.
➥ To-Bes are decided to be Prey Hunters or Guards at six moons by the Healer.
