| tidal clan follows the same warrior code of the original clans and shares |
| many of their traditions, however they also have a few of their own |

trek to the dead oak tree | this long, tiresome swim is a journey
made by every apprentice before they become a warrior. according to
legend, the original group of cats that formed tidalclan made the very
same trip- from the dead oak to the cove- and it has been a tradition ever since.
the young soon-to-be warrior leaves the tide pool just as the sun peaks over
the horizon, beginning the journey across the bay. the swim usually takes
about half a day, and the apprentice's mentor waits by the dead oak, an
old, leafless tree across the sea from the camp, at sun high to greet him or her.
if more than one apprentice is being made into a warrior at the same time, they
will make the trek together- otherwise, the apprentice will swim alone. after the
journey is done, mentor and apprentice rest at the dead oak until moonhigh before
returning to the camp by land, where the warrior ceremony will be held promptly.
as being a strong swimmer is very important in tidalclan, the trek to the dead oak
tree signifies a cat leaving as an apprentice, and returning as a warrior.

the moon cave | the moon cave resides not far from tidalclan's camp, and so
the trek is not as tiresome as the one to the dead oak. the only entrance is a tunnel
beneath the water's surface, which leads upwards into the cavern, which is mostly
dry. tiny holes in the ceiling allow the cave to flood with moonlight when the moon
has reached its highest point. newly appointed leaders must go to the moon cave with
the medicine cat to receive their nine lives and the name "-star." the moon cave is also
where medicine cat apprentices finish their training and where med. cats and leaders go
to share dreams with starclan. when a cat is no longer physically able to go to the moon
cave, they must retire and become an elder.

camp | tidalclan's camp exists in a cove guarded by rocks. large boulders
shield against high tide and tall waves, and for the most part the camp is
hidden from view. dens are made inside the crevices of rocks surrounding
the shore. the easiest way out of the camp is to swim through the opening
of the camp, but there is a hidden trail on land for those not physically able
to swim.

dens | the leader's den is a moss covered rock that hooks in and hangs over
the beach, with seaweed draped for privacy. the nursery is located at the
peak of the cove's semi-circle, farthest from the shore, and the elder den
and medicine cat den are close by. these dens are placed in a deep crevice
against the hill's edge and are lined with moss, providing good insulation and
protection from rain and mist. the apprentice den and warrior den are closer
to the water's edge, with the apprentice's den being made up of a large hole of
sand dug out from underneath a rock and the warrior's den being a rather large
opening carved from the side of the hill facing the ocean, with some overhanging
rock and moss that prevent rain from seeping in. newer warriors sleep on the
outer edge, while senior warriors sleep at the back.

topography | while the cats tend to stay close to the shoreline and don't stray to
much inland, there is a forest located alongside the beach that the clan will stray
into in times of high tide. the territory of tidalclan is very rocky, which keeps twolegs
away, although there is the occasional camping trip or sailboat that the cats must be
wary of. the nearest thunderpath or twolegplace is far from their territory, and no clan
cat will likely ever come across either.

this list includes many of the predators & prey found
in a coastal setting, but do not feel limited by this list
as there are many more species outside of this list!

ｐｒｅｄａｔｏｒｓ
✻ orcas [extremely rare] | orcas are only a threat for a short time between leaf-fall and leaf-bare. they normally stay
out in open ocean, but if a cat strays out too far the danger is very high.
✻ sharks [rare] | sharks are usually found in deeper waters, and rarely stray into the parts where the clan cats swim.
✻ harbor seals and sea lions [uncommon] | seals and sea lions generally stay away from the cats, but once in a while
a curious one will swim close by. they don't usually attack, but it's best to stay away from them. bigger threat to young kits.
✻ sea otters [uncommon] | sea otters aren't a huge threat and rarely attack, but seeing as they are too large and
strong to hunt, it's a good idea to leave them alone.

ｐｒｅｙ
✻ mollymawk [rare] | this bird is usually smart enough to stay out of the reach of the clan cats, but a young or weakened
mollymawk can serve up to three cats.
✻ killdeer [uncommon] | this small bird is fast and hides itself well.
✻ plover [uncommon] | similar to the killdeer
✻ fish [common] | the clan cats are very good at catching a variety of fish and they are a main part of their diet.
✻ crabs [common] | crabs are easily found by the clan cats, although they are more difficult to eat.
✻ squirrels [common] | squirrels are a prey that commonly make the mistake of leaving the shelter of the forest to run
on the sand and climb the rocks of the beach.

Darkshadow

A withdrawn, guarded cat who keeps mostly to himself, Darkshadow isn't the friendliest cat in the clan. However, he wasn't always like that. As a young apprentice, Darkpaw was outgoing and talkative and happy all the time. However, during his trek to the dead oak tree, the young tom encountered an orca. He managed to escape from it, just barely, but was left with severe wounds, and was lucky to be alive at all. When his mentor saw him struggling in the water, he helped pull him out, but the damage was already done. Along with several deep gashes, Darkpaw had received a severe injury to his throat. He eventually healed, after over a moon spent in the medicine den under Rainheart's watchful eye, but his voice never recovered. The once extremely talkative cat could not speak a word, and he didn't know what to do. He was given the name Darkshadow because the clan knew that the warrior that came ashore was only a shadow of the apprentice that went into the water. Darkshadow now tends to stay at the edge of the camp, avoiding most cats, in his depressed silence.
