briarclan hasn't existed for very long, in fact, it's barely been two moons. they cats of this clan don't want to be here, but they have no other choice. it is the life of a forest full of the unknown, or get taken by twolegs. the choice was hard, but obvious for the cats.
they were once splashclan, led by the beautiful and strong lilystar. they lived beside a lengthy river which supplied them with both food and water. they river had been in use for generations, so the clan had become completely dependent on it. even as kits, the cats of splashclan loved any and all water. however, at one unlucky time, all this was gone. twolegs began to pollute the water. fish died and the water was not safe for drinking. they fought their hardest to stay where they were, but soon enough the twolegs started building nests along the river's edge. not wanting to risk the death of her clan, lilystar fled.
they ran and ran for almost half a moon, trying to find a place far enough from the twolegs that would make a good camp. just as they were about to give up, they found a forested area. it had a large circle of thorny bushes and tall trees that formed a sort of circle. there were vines hanging down from two trees, giving them a hidden entrance. to make it even better, there was already holes that other animals had created for the dens. it was perfect. however... how were they going to survive now? they had gotten so used to the river, but now there was none. just a large, seemingly endless forest surrounding them. this was going to be a challenge, but the cats of splashclan were up for it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
this roleplay is set up two moons after splashclan moved to their new territory. lilystar died a little after they settled, leaving the deputy, tigerfang, in charge of the clan. he changed the name from splashclan to briarclan to fit their new area, and give the cats hope for a new life. they are still trying to get used to hunting in the forest and having to scavenge for water. they have to find new landmarks, as the forest is still largely not explored. all they have to count on is starclan.

will be updated as new places are found (discuss before finding them in discussion topic)

the camp where all the cats of briarclan reside. it's a large circle of bushes and trees, with a few vines hanging down from one for an entrance/exit. the camp isn't all that big, but it's large enough to hold all the cats. the dens are nothing but holes left behind from other animals stuffed with moss and leaves for bedding. the medicine cat den is to the very back of the camp beside the nursery. the warriors' den and apprentices' den are near the middle to either side. finally, the leaders' den/high rock is a slightly elevated rock in the middle of the camp. at the side of this rock is a small burrow that is large enough for the leader to sleep in. there isn't much else to the place, besides the fresh-kill pile which is directly behind the high rock.




prophecy

to the black raven's call of daggers and fire panic will erupt
with a noble cat's fall comes more bloodthirst as the flame becomes more intense
through the smoke and blood a feather and ember will fly with the raven
to extinguish the flame for good

cats
black raven: ravenpaw
noble cat: rowanfur
feather: featherkit
ember: emberkit

meaning

there is a troop of foxes that live near the camp. the clan's will stumble upon this early on by ravenpaw, but their panic will become real when rowanfur is killed. featherkit and emberkit, forest born kits, are their only hope.

it had barely been two moons since it had happened. a group of cats who's lives were devoted to living beside a river as a source living had to flee from their only haven. as they fled, they had to overcome many obstacles along the way to where they are now. they ran through twolegplaces, unknown cats' territories, and many, many more terrible things. however, they made it. they made it to their new home. here they lay sleeping until the dawn sun rose.
tigerstar's sleep was anything but peaceful. he could still see the many cats that followed lilystar falling to their deaths from sickness or wounds. he could smell the blood that covered her cats' coats from fighting for their lives. he could feel the pain that he felt from the claws and teeth from the cats that had attacked them. worst of all, he could still feel the sadness filling his body and overflowing into a river of emotions as his poor leader fell to her death, leaving him to carry his clan on wards. it was truly a sorrowful and agony filled journey. even through all that had been done, here they are now as briarclan. a strong group of felines that will do anything to keep what they have found.

with a loud grunt the thin tom raised his head off the mossy floor of his den. everything ached from his nose to the end of his tail. he had worked as hard as he could for the past few days to get the clan comfortable in their new home. they didn't have much food in the fresh-kill pile as they were still getting used to hunting outside of the water of their past territory. the prey of the forest were a bit plumper than the fish they used to catch, but they were also quicker. it was a real struggle to even get close to catching one. to make it worse, it was leaf-fall. they prey was getting scarcer by the day. it was going to be a rough two seasons.
although tired and aching, the thin tom rose into a sitting position. he ran his rough tongue over his tabby pelt in an effort to groom himself and take out some of the clumps of moss and dirt that had found their way in his fur. once he found his appearance sufficient enough to be seen outside of the den, he peaked his head out of the small hole above him. a gentle, cold breeze blew across the trees causing them to make a quiet whistling noise. it was a bit chilly, but not cold enough to falter any of the cats' moods. with a loud yawn the rest of his body emerged from the dark hole. his head moved from side to side as he scanned over his camp. it seemed that no cat had awakened yet. "early as usual," he mumbled to himself as he trotted over to the fresh-kill pile. it had only about a dozen animals in it. the tom sat down beside it and just gazed at it as he sighed. his tail waved from side to side as his mind wondered off, waiting for enough cats to awaken to start a patrol.

╚══════════╝

Brackenstep awoke with a yawn, revealing a curling salmon tongue and Ivory teeth before she closed her mouth and shook her head. She sleepily blinked open her green orbs, looking around at the other sleeping forms around her, everyone still seemed to be asleep. She was tempted to just lay her head back down in the softness of her mossy nest but instead knew she had to get up. She pushed herself to her paws with a groan and shook out her thick tabby and white pelt, a few pieces that had clung to her falling off waiting to reattach themselves once she returned later. She was sore all over, her body ached and her mind was groggy, she could barely remember everything that had happened over the past few days. All she could remember was running, the constant running and hiding from twolegs as they looked for a new place to call home. But she also remembered the cats that had attacked them as they traveled through their territory, in fact she still had a few scratch marks along her shoulder that were still healing. Although her thick fur had begun to grow back over them, she could still feel them when she moved. Her stomach growled as she stood there in her makeshift nest, and with a sigh she carefully she made her way across the den, careful to avoid any tails and paws and soon made it to the entrance and pushed herself out and into the weak morning light.

Stepping out she blinked sleepily a few times, her green orbs scanning the clearing to see if any of her clanmates had awoken yet. A cool breeze greeted her and for once she was thankful for her thick pelt, though she envied her clanmates with a shorter one in the leaf full. Her gaze settled upon Tigerstar, the tabby was sitting beside the freshkill pile just seemingly staring at it while waving his tail. She sighed, "He must be thinking of Lilystar" she thought and felt a pang of sadness course through her as she remembered the previous leader. She had fought hard to lead her clan here, bringing them to their new home and hoping to find peace only to succumb to sickness and wounds. She missed her dearly and could only imagine how Tigertstar was fairing as well as the rest of the clan. Seeing no one else around she walked over towards the him, her hunger driving her forward as well as her wanting to attempt and comfort him. A sad and heavy hearted leader was not always someone they could look up too, right now they needed someone strong and level to help them rebuild and she knew he had it in him. Walking across the clearing reminded her paws of all the walking they had already done, her paws feeling a bit sore but she ignored it as she approached.

"Good morning Tigerstar, awake bright and early as usual" she said with a small grin spreading across her maw as she spoke, trying to appear cheerful despite their condition and circumstances. Glancing towards the freshkill pile she saw it was slim pickings, though she knew why. They had once lived near a river, used to fishing and relying upon the water source they weren't the best of land hunters. In fact her pallet still wasn't completely used to the fur and wilderness taste of the animals they hunter here, she missed the scales and fresh water taste that fish brought. Plus the animals they had come to find in the forest were much more difficult to catch, the could hear and feel their footprints before they could even get close and could quickly dash for cover before they could leap in for their quarry. She spotted a small mouse, it was skinny but not quite scrawny, picking it up and set it before his paws. "You should eat, we can catch more" she said encouragingly, noting his thin frame though he was always thin, but with the approaching leaf bare they would all need to put on a little weight, if they could anyway.

In the cover of the apprentice's den, a small dappled she-cat slept peacefully as the sun began to rise. The apprentice's den was spacious, seeing as there were only four apprentices who had survived the journey, yet it could be lonely at times. She missed her previous home alongside the river, and her new den smelled funny; like rotting leaves and moss. At the time, however, she was just grateful for a safe place to sleep at night. Over the past few days, she had gathered enough dry leaves and discarded feathers to make a small, yet comfortable nest.

As the sun began to cascade down the entrance of the den, the sleek she-cat began to stir, her feet twitching and her tail flicking as the familiar heat of the morning rays began to awaken her. Leopardpaw raised her head from it's resting place over her front paws and slowly her turquoise eyes flickered open. She had to blink a few times to help herself adjust to the change in light. A long yawn escaped her jaw as she stretched her front legs forward and wriggled her toes, her claws unsheathing as she stretched, digging into the soft dirt below, before she sheathed them once more.

Reluctantly, Leopardpaw dragged herself wearily to her feet, arching her back and out-stretching her hind legs each in turn, to expel the tired ache that riddled them. Once she was able, she padded to the entrance of her log and took a few steps outside not noticing Ravenpaw, but it was too late. She collided with black and white tom, and she landed roughly on her side, fur prickling uneasily and her cheeks flaring up with embarrassment.
