ＤＡＰＰＬＥＣＬＡＮ
Long ago, a she-cat named Leopard and her group of cats stumbled across the long-abandoned ruins of a twoleg temple in a vast, dark jungle. She deemed it the perfect place to settle a clan, and that she did, naming it Dappleclan, after the sunshine that beams through the dense leaves and dappled the rainforest floor. The clan had a peaceful time for the first several generations, then Leopardstar began haunting the clan's leader and medicine cat with a prophecy;
"The kits of the leader will save our beloved clan."
This prophecy has left Dappleclan in confusion for a long time [through eight leaders, in fact] as it has yet to be fulfilled. Whenever a leader has kits, nothing noteworthy occurred and their kits barely did anything impressive. Little does the clan know, that their long-lasting mystery is soon to be solved. The Rogue Clan captured Dappleclan's leader's four kits two moons ago, holding them ransom, wanting more territory in return. And recently, the young ones have been suffering strange dreams from Starclan. Meanwhile, Dappleclan's leader is trying to find the proper solution to the issue. Should he avoid conflict by giving the Rogue Clan cats what they want, or should he take them back by force?

Dappleclan's general territory is situated in a dense rainforest, but of course, a small portion of it. The camp is located inside the ancient ruins of a temple. The camp provides an interesting set-up, having the center, the western wing, and the eastern wing. The center contains the gathering place for the clan, for when the leader calls meetings and where the deputy calls for patrols. The center of the temple also contains the den of the leader and their family. The western wing is where the queens, kits, and elders stay, as well as the medicine cat and medicine cat's apprentice. The eastern wing is where the deputy, warriors, and apprentices are set up.
There is a second, much smaller and less-organized clan of cats just outside of Dappleclan borders, where twolegs have deforested the area. This clan is made up of rogues. Although small, they have stuck around for a few generations, and have caused Dappleclan plenty of trouble over that time. They frequently pick fights with border patrols, steal prey from Dappleclan territory, and on the very rare occasion, invade camp. One would think that Dappleclan's size would help it destroy the clan of rogues, but they haven't had such luck. They are much stronger than they seem.
