tideclan has only just begun, a group of cats who've
originated from different places around the coast -
former kittypets, lighthouse cats, cats who have found
themselves on ships sailing across the ocean - all came
together to live and build new lives, all on the coast,
settled right beside the ocean, a place they all know
and can bond over. with little to no idea on how to
properly organize 'clan', tideclan does their best to
make a small society by electing a leader... and that
is as far as they got. however, one wandering cat
from a land far away, a former clan cat, stumbles
across tideclan and gives them guidance.

click here for quirky territory map, made by me ((:

the camp

tideclans camp is located in a cave within the mountains bordering the beach
outside. the sandy beach leads into a crevice, which turns to a nice mix of
sand and grass. following the somewhat dark tunnel made of rock, light will
suddenly appear out of nowhere as the tight cave turns in to a massive, open
space, hidden deep within the rocky mountains. there is a pool of water in
the very middle, most of it shallow enough for cats to relax in, but toward
the middle, there is a deeper part, and apprentices usually learn how to
swim here, in the safety of the cave, where there are no currents. from the
tide pool, of which is tideclans namesake, stems a small stream leading to
the northwest of the cave, turning into a small, calm waterfall. there are
a few small holes at the very top of the cavern, but nothing too big - just
big enough for the sun or the moonlight to peak through.

there are no real dens, cats just sleep where they'd like. clan meetings are
usually called at the tidepools edge, where there is a slightly bigger rock
than the others.
the territory

most of the territory is... sand. the beach below the cliffs, nearly at tideclans
camp entrance, houses a calmly splashing ocean with very fine sand. seaweed,
pebbles and shells are strewn all throughout the sand. there honestly isn't
too much about the beach, but when the clan holds festivities, doing so on
the warm sand is always ideal! almost as if a looming symbol of death, the
cliffs are a notable part of tideclans territory. cats who are daring enough
make the climb to get at birds of prey, but its typically looked down upon
due to the dangers. off to the west side of the beach are some sand dunes,
where tideclan has taken up as a training spot. the soft sand pads cats
from any accidents. off to the east, there is a lighthouse that is occupied,
but the two-legs hardly venture out. up to the north east, the sand turns
into grass, which turns into a village of two-legs. unfortunately, a lot of
crucial herbs are found near the village, so cats must be careful!

tideclan speaks with starclan by using a tunnel found in the camp cave that
eventually leads into a sandy pit surrounded by shallow water. cats simply
touch their noses to the water, and starclan will appear... supposedly.
predators

water snakes, jellyfish, stingrays, sharks, orcas, two-legs
prey

tuna, sardines, herring, flounder, scallops, seagulls, avocet

tradition one

when apprentices believe they are to be made warriors, they will go to
the tidepool in the middle of camp, and stick their paws in the shallow
end. if they take their paws out and the marks remain, it means that it
is time for them to become warriors! keep in mind though... older cats
know that this is mostly superstition... or is it?
tradition two

when cats want to become mates, one cat will "propose" to another with
a feather. what the cats decide to do with that feather - decorate, wear
it, etc, is up to them! no cat is sure where this tradition began.
tradition three

at each full moon, tideclan cats believe their loved ones travel down from
silverpelt, thus a celebration begins! a feast, celebrating love, rivalry,
friendly fighting competitions, and so much more! a fun night, if you will.
tradition four

when cats are freshly apprenticed, they will travel into the tidepool with
their new mentor. wading into the deep water, new apprentices will be
forced to swim, with only their mentor beside them, enabling a close,
deep bond to be made almost immediately.
