Physical Description

Noteworthy Abilities

Territorial & Seasonal

Moonlit Creek

A tributary of the nearby river that runs through most of the territory. Prey is often plentiful here, and the creek is a favored spot for cats seeking quiet or solace. Currently, the creek is frozen.

Halfstone

Where the grass grows especially thin, a towering boulder sits among the stones. Its surface has been split open, cracked in half as if by struck by lightning. Prey frequents the area, but predators do, as well.

Great Ridge

A gentle rise in the territory that provides a small vantage point above twolegplace. The trees are taller here, the grass softer, the sun warmer. A good area for training young apprentices, as it is open and relatively safe, or simply watching the twolegs go about their days.

Daily Life

• Night guards will be in effect constantly. Warriors will take turns staying awake in pairs to oversee camp while the rest of the Clan sleeps.
  
• Warriors will periodically be assigned to limb patrol. This task will consist of investigating every tree possible (not necessarily in a single day) and removing any branches that are deemed unfit for basic exercise. Unless they cannot be practically carried, branches will be returned to camp to be reused in various structural improvements.
  
• The sky patrol will consist of warriors that have proven to be the most adept at navigating the trees. They will be the eyes of SkyClan: where a patrol on the ground may not notice an active threat until they're close enough to be scented or heard, cats assigned to sky patrol will have the advantage of sight. Concerning activity is to be reported to Wolfstar or [deputy] immediately or, if necessary and the warriors present are capable, dispatched. If the need arises, warriors may be asked with infiltrating another Clan's territory through the trees.
  
• Branches recovered from limb patrols or found scattered around the territory will be methodically laid out surrounding SkyClan's camp. When pressed, the branches will snap and alert all in camp to a possible threat. Only SkyClan cats or those that are escorted can navigate the barrier soundly.
  

Inner Rules

ACCEPTANCE POLICIES

Rogues, loners, and kittypets

Examined under a case-by-case basis. If they are welcomed into SkyClan, they’ll be required to complete a minimum of two moons of apprentice training, which may be extended depending on circumstances. At the end of their training they will receive a full warrior name, and it is expected they’ll be regarded just as a cat that was born into SkyClan.

Clan-hoppers

Examined under a case-by-case basis. While they will not have to recomplete their apprentice training, they will have to prove their loyalty to SkyClan through a trial of Wolfstar’s choosing. They will spend their early moons in SkyClan supervised by a reputable warrior to be sure they’re not acting against SkyClan’s interests; duration will be determined depending on the situation. Name may be changed upon the warrior’s request to reflect their new allegiance.

Exiled Clan cats

Undergo a similar process as Clan-hoppers, though Wolfstar will be stricter on initial evaluation and harsher in her choice of trial. Depending on the nature of their exile, they may never receive full warrior status in SkyClan, even if they’ve successfully proved their loyalty. With the exception of extreme circumstances, a name change will never be granted to a formerly-exiled cat.

Kits, no matter their origin,

Always accepted. Efforts will be exhausted to return them to their original home beforehand, but if no one or nothing is found, they will be raised just as a Clanborn cat.

CODE BREAKING

• The most likely effect will be a sentence where the offending cat is confined to camp for a duration reflecting what they've done. This punishment could cover something as small as an accidental trespass to instigating needless fights.
  
• More severe crimes, such as grievously injuring or murdering a cat, will result in immediate demotion upon Wolfstar's finding out. The offending cat will be allowed a chance to plead their case, but repeal of the leader's decision is unlikely.
  
• Should the crime be severe enough, the cat risks permanently losing their right to warriorhood. They will be formally demoted and will exist as an elder in Clan life, with the only benefit being that they may continue to join hunting patrols. The offending cat will be under constant watch by an available reputable warrior.
  
• Exile will generally only be employed if a cat has repeated accounts of severely crossing the warrior code or disobeying Wolfstar (circumstantially). Exceptions may be made depending on the situation.
  
• In the event that you are exiled from SkyClan, your presence on the territory will be considered a threat. Expect to be met with claws should you be caught.
  
• Unless the cat is deemed to be a threat to the entire forest, Wolfstar will never employ any means of execution.
  

FORBIDDEN ROMANCES

• If the SkyClan cat is the mother of kits, the mother will be expected to remain in SkyClan and raise her litter there. Efforts will be made between Skyclan's leadership, the mate, and the other Clan's leader (if applicable) to invite the mate into SkyClan so the kits will grow up with their whole family. If the mate is unwilling to join SkyClan, or leadership is unwilling to release them, Wolfstar will ask that the relationship be formally ended. Once the kits have reached apprenticehood, supervised visits between them and their mentor (or other reputable warrior) may be conducted at the nearest border so the kits will still have some relation with their other parent.
  
• If the SkyClan cat is the father of kits, similar efforts will be made to bring the mother (and kits) to SkyClan. If she is unwilling to join SkyClan, or leadership is unwilling to release her and the kits, Wolfstar will suggest to allow the father into the opposing Clan. This is far from a first result; all efforts will be exhausted to unite the family under SkyClan before that conclusion is reached.
  
• Though she is understanding and a degree forgiving of forbidden relationships, and will do everything in her power to keep the pair and their family together, the rule that was broken must still be acknowledged. The offending warrior will be confined to camp for a minimum of two moons (extensions may be added circumstantially) with a chance they may have to recomplete apprentice training.
  
• In any case, should a cat leave SkyClan to pursue their relationship, their connections with SkyClan will be severed. Wolfstar will make every attempt to work with you, your mate, and possible kits to keep SkyClan and your family together. She will consider leaving SkyClan as a severance of her trust, and you will not be permitted on SkyClan territory in the future.
