INTRO
[justify]The Tribe of Many Storms is an extremely old anti-Clan started in 2009 by Stormfront. Back then, it was known as Stormfront's Army before he progressed to change his name to Stormnight and the Tribes name became what it is today, the Tribe of Many Storms. Once Stormnight died, it was taken over by his brother Calmnight who led it before he too, ended up passing. An heir was selected but while having no relations to either of the original founders, the serval who was known as Elixor decided to change the name of the Tribe of Many Storms to the Empire of Tufani.

Many of the changes included compulsory family names, and treating all of Elixor's family like blue-blood. Although he went mad and disappeared leaving his son Avanti in charge. Many of the members of the Tribe were unhappy with Avanti's rule and eventually drove him out, Avanti's brother Silversun then became leader. Although his reign didn't last long, he was less hated than his predecessor Avanti. Finally, the first female leader in the Tribes history came to lead known as Starburst, who changed the name back to its original state of Tribe of Many Storms.

Eventually, she too disappeared and Area became leader, Area tried to change the Tribe to the Empire of Storms but he wasn't around long enough to see that motion through to the end. Soon after, Totalparadise, came in and took over. Becoming leader, he instigated new positions as well as changing the religion back to NightClan. Later, though, he started a war with ScarClan for demanding their allies females and territory. Angry, ScarClan attacked, where Soul and Anchor readily gave up Totalnight to protect their small tribe from harm.

A new leader took over by the name of Fusion, who was actually ex-SunClan leader and medicine cat Sabre in a new jaguarundi body. Fusion led the clan peacefully for moons before deciding it was his time to leave and stepped down, allowing Anchor, Soul, and Trigger to step up in his place.

The Tribe was quiet for a while — Anchor introduced a new god known as Cusun, and he quickly became their main religion, though others are still abundant within. Nothing much happened until a feud with TidalClan began. The Tribe captured some of the clan's members, and in return, (after rescuing their clanmates) TidalClan cats crept in a poisoned the lake, the biggest water source on the territory, with oil from a Twoleg. Prey slowly diminished, starvation crept into the campsite, and while there were many attempts to get the Tribe moving to a new home, nothing was accomplished — StormTribe had fallen in its amount of members and level of activity, leaving it impossible for a final decision to be made.

Sick of all the inactivity, Cusun sent a dream to the Tribe's healer, Showerkissed, { Kissed by the Early Spring Showers } saying something needed to be done or the entire group would fall into even smaller pieces and disappear. He commanded her to step up as leader and take over, and the she-cat did, doing a clean out of their hierarchy to promote and demote where necessary. She also announced that the Tribe of Many Storms was about to move to better home.

When they arrived at the mountain, everything was normal until one of the deputies, Piano, disappeared. She was then found in TidalClan when an attack was launched against their enemy, but had no memory. After some time, she remembered everything, but her personality was not the same afterwards and she changed her name to Calla. The Tribe then made a truce with TidalClan, though it was far from an alliance. The merely ignored eachother while the Tribe worked to increase their relations with their allies.

After a while of peace, Showerkissed announced that she was going to demote herself down to the position of Count, formally Scribe. Her two deputies, Calla and Citadark, would both be becoming leaders. The Tribe was shocked by this news, but accepted it and their new leaders. Not too long afterwards, the leaders held their first meeting and announced Showerkissed's tragic death of blackcough and the demotion of one of the Counts. Then they promoted their deputy, Ballad, formally a Host, and brought back the position of Head Scribe, giving that to Bermuda.
After a while, a snow leopard named Nefarious quickly rose up the ranks to finally become a deputy, while Ballad chose to step down from his position. The Tribe was doing well though not thriving, and then there can the announcement from Calla that she would be stepping down from her position of leader to become a Count, like her mother. She said it was because she believed her inactivity was holding back the Tribe, and though the Tribe members respected her decision some of them disagreed with it. Later, Citadark announced that he would be promoting their deputy Nefarious in her place, and a competition for deputy begun.

Crackedmirror, the Head Count, was chosen to become deputy and a new system began. Things lay low for a while with nothing very important happening until Nefarious' death set off a chain of events. A Doctor Assistant, Phoenix, stepped down, and a Count, Lady, left the Tribe.

Citadark chose not to promote Crackedmirror to leader beside him, instead leaving her as the only deputy and him as the only leader. Things proceeded as usual within the Tribe after that, a few promotions happening later but for the most part, everything remained quiet.

After a while with not much happening, Citadark demoted everyone except for his deputy and the medic team. Promotions happened soon afterwards and life continued as usual, the activity low as always.

TERRITORY
[justify]After moving many times, the Tribe of Many Storms finally settled on a mountain range after their lake was poisoned by TidalClan at their last territory. This one is much farther away from TidalClan and much more harder for trespassers to take on the terrain, ceasing some battles and making the tribe look strong as they easily adapt to the area. It's usually a rather snowy mountain, with evergreen trees dotting everywhere except on very high peaks where it's impossible for them to grow. It looks a bit like this throughout the wild parts of the range that are less inhabited by the StormTribe but still considered theirs: click

For their camp, at the North face of the range, sits an array of houses, some log cabins, some cozy cottages, some stone mansions, any kind of house you can think of. Along with different houses, every house comes with different trinkets and furniture left behind by the humans. There is one main building that looks like a castle, which is where all the high positions sleep and meeting are held. When this little town was still in business, It was used as rental homes for risky hikers taking on the mountains who needed a place to stay. This is what the main house/"thunder castle" looks like: click

[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 300px;]

On the first floor, when you first enter, is a magnificent walkway of frayed carpet which leads to large seats at a large desk, where all leaders sit when they call a meeting. Around them are intricate architecture and old paintings of saints and generals of old wars. Leaders usually sleep on the first floor where trespassers would most likely wander into and they would be armed near the door. On either side of the desks are two large staircases that conjoin at the top with two large rooms on either side of the second floor. On the left side is what was a small hospital for injured hikers, with old hospital beds lined up against the walls and first aid kits hung everywhere, some have dropped and split open so supplies are all over the floor. The healers of the StormTribe have adapted to this room by using the first aid boxes to put their herbs in, for example one would hold thyme, one would hole catnip, etc. On the other side, in the other room, there is an array of magnificent bunk beds made of carved wood where the staff of the rental houses used to sleep but now all the other high positions sleep there, including scribes and deputies.[/fancypost]

On the other side of the mountain range, the face facing South, there is an abandoned boat deck with sailboats and motorboats and just a lot of boats, which is the StormTribe's temporary camp in case of any natural disaster or a group of cats who want to battle are approaching and they just want to make it harder on them by moving farther and farther away so the journey is long and the enemies are weak by the time they reach the temporary camp. This is what it looks like: click[/justify]

[justify]"Listen up, now. What will happen is this. For the engagement, a male will leave a nice piece of clothing or an accessory outside the female's cabin or den, wherever she chooses to sleep, in the middle of the night with a note next to it saying who it's from. If she accepts the gift, that is accepting his proposal for marriage, and they are now engaged. He comes by in the morning to do chores for her and clean her cabin and such if she has accepted, and she catches prey and brings it to his mother. In the ritual I speak of this whole time, a mother, father, or aunts can be replaced by the closest family members of that gender, meaning sisters, brothers, uncles, or whatever. If the mother accepts it, she approves of their marriage, so they are officially to be married. For the next two weeks, they repeat this, until the male's mother and the female's father decide that it is time for the wedding. For the three days prior to the wedding, the female will help the tom's mother hunt while his aunts throw mud at her, and the tom will help the female's father do whatever he's doing while her uncles throw mud at him, just for a bit of fun. Then on the morning of the wedding, the bride and groom wake up at dawn and go to a quiet spot in the forest to pray to Cusun, and then walk together with their tails entwined to the wedding. They will have a formal ceremony in which they pledge themselves to each other and to Cusun for all eternity, and then the entire Tribe hosts a party for them, with the Hosts of course taking charge. It is to be a happy and religious occasion."

"We are introducing a slight change to the StormTribe's hierarchy. In addition to actual rankings and high positions, we are instituting a system called 'Order of Cusun' classes. There will be first, second, and third class, and while this is not a high position or even a semi high position, it is bragging rights, honor, and authority. You can be awarded classes of the Order of Cusun for brave, kind, intelligent, or other good deeds, as well as activity. In addition, those members of the Order of Cusun will be called Thunderstorms instead of or in addition to Baron. So for example, if you adopted a kitten that needed much healing and you made them all better and they became active, you could gain the title of 'Order of Cusun, Thunderstorm Baron Second Class' or something along those lines. If you have an Order of Cusun, you can accept joiners so long as there is a high position present, lead raiding groups and missions, and other such things; however, you will still need permission from a high position to do these. You can be stripped of your Order of Cusun for inactivity, bad deeds, and other such happenings. First is highest, third is lowest of the Thunderstorm classes. High positions automatically get Orders of Cusun. Counts and Hosts are now also Thunderstorms Third Class, [the Head Count], a deputy that will come along, and Doctors you are now Thunderstorms Second Class, and [the leaders] are Thunderstorms First Class."

RELIGION
[JUSTIFY]The Tribe of Many Storms actually has a very recent religion, discovered by Anchor, an ex-leader while she was receiving her lives. There is one main God, Cusun, who plays the fates of the believers and non-believers of his religion. They believe in reincarnation, that your soul will be reincarnated after you die, and you have just been a soul turning through body to body. You can reincarnate into anything, depending on the good and bad you've done in your past life. Once you've done enough good, you retire to heaven and become a loyal subject of Cusun. If you've done enough bad, you either burn in hell or keep on reincarnating into worse and worse bodies. Though Cusun's realm is considered heaven, he isn't a very soft god and likes to see power and fighting.[/justify]
