Iv'e been developing the Clan clan's Territories more and I'm very excited with a few new additions to it.
(c) To Mythz for all the art...I just wanted to share it here aswell for everyone to see!! ; U;
Forest Territory
Former home of the original Clan Clan, founded by Fig when he escaped his former clan and found himself falling into the upside down world which name is still unknown (I just can't think of one ljgshdfgd it has to be perfect.) Cats that once lived in this territory are those who found themsevles in this world by unknown means and decided together that they were going to make their own little family and survive together in this unknown place. Most of the clans roles are similiar to Fig's old Clan who adopted the ways of Medicine cats, Warriors and Elders being the main foundation while others sort of helped out where they could when they could. Unlike Fig's old clan, if a cat could not pull their weight they were still welcomed into the clan with loving paws. Anyone and everyone was welcome here.
The land that the Territories lie in has a magical property running through it that causes..strange things to happen depending on which territory you are in for an extended period of time. For the Forest territory, most cats exibited a strange power to transform their very being into other small, more mobile creatures. Snakes, Squirrels, and smaller rodents seemed to be the most common, with larger herbivores like Deer being uncommon. Within Clan clan there also possess a very small few who can transform into bigger carnivores like Sabertooth, Lynx's and wilddogs. Very rarely, and only seen in one cat from this territory, can one wildshape into a creature that can take flight. No one knows why Mallow is the only one able to do this, as this worlds mysteries are still buried deep down.
Desert Territory
Said to be the first set of cat-like creatures to exist in this world, those in the Desert have primitive ways dating back to the begining of time. Deemed as Outsiders byt hose in Clan clan, they usually stay away from one another, very rarely butting heads at the border lining the two territories in a large meadow-like area. The meadow is a hunting ground for both parties, but the outsiders are good at laying low, or flying high enough, to stay out of complete sight. Cats from the desert territory chose their leadership by combat. Current leaders can be challenged at any time during their reign by any other and the one left alive is crowned victor and deemed leader until another comes along and takes them down. There is no grace period and often times can get very gruesome when a battle is hardly one and another jumps in to claim the leadership title before the other even gets a chance to. The current leader, a she-cat by the name Hyena was the youngest ever to take over the leadership role, and still holds it to this day.
Cats from Desert territory often have more than one wildshape, flyers being the most common and bigger, larger carnivores usually being paired with one of those. Cat's are trained from birth to harness the power and come into the namesake, which is the first wildshape form they take on. Some fall short, like Spider, and usually fall on the outskirts of the clan's hierarchy since their wildshape is useless. Most cats use their wildshape when leaving the territory as to not be spotted by those in Forest Territory. Hyena is the only exception, she has never been seen using her wildshape, not even when taking the victory that deemed her leader.
Swamp Territory
Cat's from this territory are unlike any others, as the magic that possess the world for some reason does not penetrate through the cave that this territory exists in. It is unsure how long the cat-like creatures have existed here, but each of them have adapted to their surroundings in many ways. Some even can withstand being underwater for extended periods of time, able to navigate the swamp waters maze with ease. They are a little bit wild, not having any sort of hierarchy and being a little chaoptis in nature. They love to pull pranks and make joke, often time this goes a little far and they harm others unintenionally. They are the least known but you can read about them at the end here
Mountain Territory
Mountain territory cats are closed off completely from the rest of the world, living in solitude and secrecy within the rampaging mountainside. They follow a god, known as the Spirt. A mysterious figure that shows itself in the sky during Aurora-borealis. It is said if you see the spirit your time is coming to an end soon. Cats from this territory are blessed with 9 lives, and often live a very long time because of this. The current leader,Cherrystar was chosen as the next leader by the spirit itself when the last leader faded away.
Cats from this territory are very secretive, and very very cautious. Only the leader and those closest to them are aware of twhat lies beyond the mountainside and heavily encourage others to never seek it out for fear that their magic will fade and their nine lives will dissapear causing them to fade instantly. Most cats in this territory are born within the existing ranks, minus one.
Brokenbreeze was found as a kit, lost in a snowstorm with nothing but a mysterious trinket tied to her neck fur. A lot of cats stayed away from her for a long while until she had her naming ceremony and was made an official member of the clan.
Beach Territory
Beach territory is mostly known by the Desert Territory as peaceful trading cats. They tend to stay away from eachother, as the woods sepearting the two are located over the border. In the old days, they would trade goods with eachother but ever since Hyena became the leader that all stopped.
My ideas for them are probably going to be pirate based, crafting cats who make a bunch of things. Maybe boats to get across the ocean and discovered whats on the other side...and maybe more territories? Maybe the source of the magic? who knows
