---In an untouched realm, beyond the influence of a certain race that
----has long gone extinct, felines have lived in a riverside forest. One
----that was said to be magical. And it was. Edennelle, as the cats ca
----lled it, was a sacred place where magic was gifted to those who t
----ook care of it, as it took care of them. Every cat is born with it. S
----ome cats could harness the power of the winds, others used the g
----rass, and some would even use fire or the water. They loved their
----powers, and it was commonplace to use them.

----But that was a thing of the past. Just recently, the king and queen
----had passed, leaving the clan in a brief state of disarray. But there
----were two new leaders who quickly took their place. A couple that,
----oddly enough, had lacked magic. They were powerful enough to t
----ake over the clan by force, but oddly enough lacked magic. They s
----et a new law right on that same day, one that said all magic was p
----rohibited. They claimed it was to "prevent discrimination against t
----hose who had no powers," but everyone knew they were just jealo
----us of those who could use magic. ..And to maintain tight control o
----ver the clan without resistance. The king ordered the cats to run t
----he forest dry of prey so he could indulge in all the food for himself
----. This greed had caused the forest to run dry of resources and mag
----ic as a whole. Resources are draining fast, cats are beginning to st
----arve. What will they do? Well, resist of course! The whole clan pla
----ns to get past the royal couple's guards, then chase off their leade
----rs to restore the balance of Edennelle. Easier said than done..

The Clearing
-- This is the base camp of the Riverside Clan. It's a sizable little meadow with plenty of thick thorny greenery
-- surrounding it to protect from outside predators. These cats made home in dens that line the clearing in ne
-- atly organized rows. One hollow that was carved in a tree with magic holds the "prey deposit," where hunte
-- rs are ordered to leave their first kills for the king's guards to collect. A tax system had been set in place th
-- at demands hunters to regularly pay with food in order to keep their residence in the clan. Right beside it i
-- s the King and Queen's den. Then there's the nursery, and the medic's den.

The Waterfall
-- The place where most cats go to drink. The little waterfall can be scaled up and down by athletic felines. T
-- he water here is clean and pure, but dries out more and more each day while the forest lacks balance in na
-- ture.

The Outskirts
-- Outside their region of forest is no joke. Lots of danger, predators, but also prey. Hunters have been recent
-- ly resorting to hunting in the outskirts, but most only barely make it back home alive. Hawks have swarmed
-- this place, and bears are fairly common. Other cats live out here too, but they are what the Riverside call
-- "strays." They are feral and know no magic, but are still a great nuisance to deal with. Wolves also roam he
-- re in packs. The clan rarely leaves Edennelle already, but the protection this forest offers grows weaker an
-- d weaker, allowing these predators to inch further inside the region's boarders a little.

The Meeting Place
-- A hollow just beside the outskirts lies a roomy den where the clan goes to discuss plans and certain matters
-- in secret. The king and queen are, as of now, unaware of the existence of this den. It remains well hidden j
-- ust behind a tree and tucked neatly under a blanket of undergrowth and bushes. To prevent leaving scent t
-- rails, rebels mask their scent by rolling flowers, or other strong smelling plants before departing.

𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒

Clan Leaders
-- name - male - ArtyAlpha
-- Thorn - ♀ - sugarbird

-- These cats rule the entire clan without question. This royal
-- couple is very strict, and will easily punish a clan member f
-- or any reason they find. But, they never intend to cause re
-- al bad harm to their subjects. They are simply greedy and
-- expect their clan to obey, unaware of the true harm they're
-- causing Edennelle. The King typically has more authority th
-- an his queen, but she is still the second in command. Their
-- jobs are to do whatever they please, or watch over the cle
-- aring with the guards.

Advisers
-- Juniper - ♀ - sugarbird
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player

-- The three advisers are who the king turns to when he plans
-- his next move, whether it be advice on punishments, or lo
-- oking for tips on where they should move next when things
-- go south in their current home. These cats are very smart,
-- and know a thing or two about plans. But whenever they a
-- re not in a meeting with the leaders, they are out hunting.

Guards
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player

-- The leaders are not the scariest force in Riverside Clan-
-- the guards are. These cats are strong physically, and are
-- spoiled rotten by the king and the queen. Since the leade
-- rs rarely watch over them, they enforce the rules, or sim
-- ply bully, however they want and whenever they want. T
-- hey get as much food as they want, and typically don't le
-- ave the clearing to hunt. They are usually brutish.

Medics
-- Adler - ♂ - sugarbird
-- name - gender - player

-- The two medics work together to keep their clan mates h
-- ealthy. They are only ever allowed to leave their den to g
-- rab some food or water, or to gather resources for their h
-- ealing.

Hunters
-- name - gender - ArtyAlpha
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player
-- name - gender - player

-- These poor cats are the bottom line. When they are not
-- hunting, they are sleeping, eating, drinking, taking a br
-- eak, or holing up in the meeting place. Luckily, since th
-- e authorities and their leaders rarely bother watching t
-- hem, they can easily squeeze in time for sneaky eating,
-- or to just leave the clearing and have no suspicion follo
-- w when they don't come back. Life may be a bit hard u
-- nder the rule of the king, but they easily go under the
-- radar and eat and drink or talk their fill. So long as the
-- guards don't spot them!
