territory
located within the infamous canadian rockies in the southern part of canada, the clan has a rather large territory. the primary water source for the clan is lake louisein which creates the eastern border of the clan and a protective first line of defense in getting to the clan's "camp". this lake also means that all clan members are trained how to fish. hidden within the rocky mountainside on the right side of the lake are the clan dens; one must climb up the almost completely vertical rock & make it to a small ledge jutting out about halfway up the cliffside. there is a secret opening, but to enter one must move the rolling boulder/rock out of the way to slip into the den area. a space is a large, open cave/cavern, where the majority of the cats all sleep. the only different "den" is a the healers den, which is a smaller cave that breaks-off of the main space. the weather here is typically very cool; summer and spring tend to be warmer but never hot, autumn begins to cool down, and winter is freezing cold w/ a constant blanket of snow & ice. to speak to starclan, the healer & leader have to swim to the "deep lake" within the lake louisein, which is a small underwater cavern.
ranks (from high to low)
leader the clan leader is a rank for a single cat, & is the highest rank achievable. every leader gains the surname of "moosestar". basically, a leader would keep their warrior name but just add to it; an example would be "silverpelt the moosestar". each leader gains 9 lives from the ancestors & gods at the beginning of their rule, as well as an added strength that is deemed the 'bull-moose', which refers to the larger/stronger adult male moose who are typically the strongest of their species. the leader also has control over assigning the hunting patrols.
deputy this rank is the second in command, having power over every rank except for the leader & being considered equal to the healer. typically has no blood relation to the ruling pair, it is simply the cat selected by the leader to take their place, should they pass or retire. there is only one deputy in the clan. the deputy typically is the leader's most trusted cat in the clan, one that they go to for advice on clan matters. the deputy also has the control over assigning the guard patrols.
healer this cat has the strongest connection to starclan & the gods; they have a direct line of communication with them, both in their dreams & if they choose to go to the "deep lake". this cat is the one who has a storage of herbs & treats those who are sick or injured, as well as helps queens in the birthing process.
healer app. there are typically 2 healer apprentices, & these cats are competing for the future role of healer. they are both learning the same things, & eventually it will be narrowed down to a single apprentice who has shown the most potential in their training.
guards the guards make up about half of the clan. these are the protectors of the clan, the true warriors, with two standing guard at the den entrance each night. they are the fighters who, should a predator or another clan attack, defend everyone else.
hunters the hunters make up the other half of the clan. they are the cats who focus on feeding the rest of the clan. prey must be brought to the camp so that everyone has a fair share to eat; it is forbidden to catch & eat prey for yourself without sharing, & is highly punishable.
apprentices these are the trainees, who are split between hunter & guard trainees. the younger members of the clan, typically within the ages of 6 to 12 moons. they are 'scouting out their futures' aka training. each apprentice has an assigned mentor, which is an adult cat within the clan.
queens also sometimes referred to as 'queen-mothers', these are the nursing mothers of little ones or pregnant females of the clan who will soon have kits.
kits these are the kits, under the age of 6 moons, who are seen as the future of the clan; they will be the next alphas, healers, etc. they are incredibly important to keep safe.
elders these are the older members of the clan who have retired from their previous positions. typically it is due to the influence of their older age, such as stiffness of joints, blindness, deafness, etc. but it can also be younger cats who have experienced a debilitating injury that has forced them to retire early.
spirituality
there are two aspects. the first is their connection to their ancestors. these cats believe that when a cat in their clan dies, it takes its place among the stars. these felines believe that each star is one of their ancestors. when a shooting star is seen, it is a troubling sign, because it resembles the spiritual/eternal death of an ancestor; typically this signifies negative changes or a threat coming in the clan. there are also two 'gods' that the clan worships, the bull & the cow. the bull is the male moose who represents physical strength, & is the protector of the clan; he is seen as a pure white moose w/ massive antlers & light blue eyes. the cow is the female moose who represents care/compassion, & is the nurturer of the clan; she is seen as a piebald white & brown moose w/ no antlers & heterochromatic blue & brown eyes.
oddities
there are a few things that are intensely unique to the clans of mooseclan. these cats' clan is named such for a reason; it is said they have the "strength of a moose within a cat's body", which is how they have the strength to push the boulder out of the way in front of the camp den. these cats also exhibit incredible vision; due to the darkness of the cave they call home, their eyes are able to adjust in a matter of seconds to light/dark changes, and they can see just as clearly/sharply in the dark as they can in the light. finally, these cats have an enhanced metabolism that allows them the ability to adjust their body temperature, which is helpful especially during the intense cold that they face during the winters. it is important to note that any cat that has even a fraction of mooseclan blood will have all of these observable traits; for example, if a cat left the clan many moons ago but later a different cat appeared on their territory that showed these traits, that second cat would be assumed to be the first cats kin & accepted within the clan.

iindentyou hear a rustling in the wood───what could that be, a cat? no, you reckon, it was something different. so different, in fact, you can barely recognize it. beneath the cover of the long, dense, draping tendrils of a willow tree, lies a grounds on a creek so congested with spiritual activity it's agonizing to even pull air into your lungs when you stand beneath it. many, many moons ago, a great masacre took place under this grand willow tree, murdering an entire band of cats, mothers and kits included. now, the land is littered with its remnants───the blood of the fallen seeped into the waters of the creek, and buried just beneath the surface of the dirt are their bones. they leave their mark on those who venture to the place even to this day.
iindentthe weeping willows was founded by a rogue whom harbored a special gift, enabling them to be able to speak to the dead. upon the discovery of these active grounds, they decided to settle themselves and their small band of followers in order to tend to these restless souls whom promised protection and reward for their obedience. every few moons or so, the leader will travel to the single white willow they call the hanging tree to meet with the fallen and discuss the wellness of the group. however, no matter what time of the day, month, or year it is, the leader is always encountering spirits───they see and hear them around every corner, and they are constantly bombarded with their memories. in order to preserve this gift given to the leader, the single child of the current leader born with the gift will become the one to inherit the throne at their parent's passing or once they have retired. those with royal blood, as it is often called, will only be those to take-over as the leader, no others. if there does come a time when the leader passes and an heir had not yet been produced, often the spirits will take matters into their own hands to reward a cat they feel worthy enough to lead with the gift.
iindentbut is it really a gift, or a curse?
iindentthe domain of this group encompasses an entire creek and the land surrounding it───the banks are lined with cattails, reeds, and, of course, willow trees, with their leaves swaying at the water's edge. the creek is abundant with fish and other prey of the like to hunt, and the surrounding forest just as so. after a hurricane ripped through the area many years ago, uprooted and fallen trees are the best sources of shelter among the grounds. just a few foxlengths shy of the creek, the group resides among these fallen trees to rest at night. a commonplace toward the center is where they gather to share tongues and simply converse, or to attend meetings with the leader. outside of these spiritual grounds are a scattering of dense forest and overgrown clearings, places none other than the border patrols or hunting parties will roam. the group never touches paw further than the forest lines, where a great river rushes and gurgles, separating the safety of their dark forest from a bright, unexplored valley.
iindentafter sickness and harsh weather conditions disbanded the group many moons ago, a descendant of their past leader, born with the gift, has arisen. guided by the spirits, they return with their rag-tag band of follows, much like their founders had, to the sacred grounds to start anew. it is now up to them to restore what once began here at the weeping willows . . .( note: the gift has no gameplay effect, it is simply for storytelling features. )
( this is my second clan. may this cat be my leader? )
