TERRITORY Located in the far north, this Tribe lived in an almost uninhabitable area. They live in a cave that was located next to a full hot springs. The springs kept the cave itself quiet habitable, with a shallow river running through the middle of it. The springs themselves circled around three quarters of the cave itself, making it a lovely place to live and soak for the cats that inhabit this stars-forsaken land.
THREATS Polar Bears, though very rare, are the biggest issue in this land. They are rather plentiful and co-exist with the cats rather easily, often the bears will leave part of their own prey for the cats to scavenge from. Other then that, the cats basically avoid any other large mammals in the area. Seals, Walruses, Whales in all varieties also inhabit the area, but they stay close to the water's edge, where the cats rarely go. Sea Lions will prey on the cats if it can catch one, but that rarely happens. Small foxes are the most common threat, but the cats can generally take care of them rather easily.
PREY Most often small weasels are what are eaten, with the rare fish or arctic bird mixed in. Mice, though not plentiful, are a prey item often gotten, as well as "Bear Leftovers".
COMMON COAT COLORS Mostly white and shades of grey, sometimes mottled with pale colors or striped with dark shadows.
LORE The story of the origin of this tribe is that they are descdent from the huge arctic cats that used to inhabit this land, large saber-toothed cats and heavy set beasts that made even the bears that lived here look small. The Tribe has supposedly lived in the same places for generations beyond remembering, always led by a kit of the previous leader, always a female kit.
TEMPERAMENT They are outright feral towards any unfamiliar cats, and wary of any that wish to join. They value power and intelligence over everything, knowing that only the strong and smart can live in this harsh climate.
RELIGION They pray to the Tribe of Endless Snow, and fear those that are in the Tribe of Crushing Ice. When a cat dies, they are taken to the peak of the mountain at Moon High, at the base of which their clan camp sits, and placed into an icy crevasse. No one knows where it leads, and none want to find out. At the rise of the next sun they return to the peak to see if the cat's body is still there. If the body is still there then they know that they are meant to go to the Tribe of Crushing Ice, in which case the body is taken to a muddy stream near the base of the mountain, a stream that never froze, and left there to be swept away for who knows where. If the body was no longer there, then they knew that the cat was taken to the Tribe of Endless Snow. Then, their name is inscribed on a cave wall as to which tribe they joined.
