- xxxxemberclan always prided itself on its honor. they were good cats who abided by a strong moral code that never changed as generation after generation passed. tradition was always everything to the members of the clan hidden in a gorge in a coniferous forest, shrouded by the tall trees surrounding them. it was set in place by the ten founding members of emberclan, a powerful group of legendary cats who created what became the largest clan in the forest after many generations passed. the code was long and complex, but after generations of strong and successful bloodlines, it proved to be successful. the golden, unspoken rule of emberclan was to always follow the code and to put it above any and all personal interest.
xxxxthe first and simplest part of the code was to obey your leader's orders. the second was a little more complex. everyone was part of a bloodline, some were descendants of the founders of the clan, some were descendants of loners and outsiders who migrated in. these bloodlines were important, they were everything. the leader would assign mates based off of bloodline to keep things 'pure', a practice that had gone on for years. love was unheard of for the most part, very rarely would affairs happen. affairs were the worst thing you could do in emberclan.
xxxxthere were seldom few who broke this rule, breaking away from their approved partnership and getting with someone of an opposing bloodline. they were always ratted out, not out of respect for the clan but out of fear of being punished along with them, and those who disobeyed were immediately banished to the harsh mountains outside of emberclan territory, never to be seen again. the mountains were rumored to be unlivable, between the ever changing extremes of the weather and the large predators looming around every corner, that was a place no one wanted to find themselves. only those who broke the code were banished there.
xxxxeverything is changing now. the leader of emberclan passed shortly before choosing a deputy, and he chose a young tom, his son, entrusting him to continue their pure bloodline. the new leader took his position and was assigned a mate, one of the most beloved mollies in the clan, sought after by everyone. she was kind and gentle and loving, but he didn't feel for her as she felt for him. his heart belonged to the medicine cat, who came from an opposing bloodline and was forbidden to have a mate regardless. the two would sneak around under the noses of the entire clan, forming a perfect ruse, but what happens when the leaders' mate catches on? will emberclan finally change for the better and leave behind their old ways, or will they continue to shun those who choose differently than what was laid out before them?
