[align=center]PalmTreeclan; The Clan Guided By the Sea.
PalmTreeclan resides in an abandoned beach side, rocks secluding the clan from twolegs and other threats.
Camp-
[img width=382 height=510]http://thechive.files.wordpres…l-nature-wallapers-15.jpg[/img]
Nursery- a hole in the back of the camp near the escape route, covered by palm tree leaves.
Medicine cat's den- a hole in the left side(while coming in), covered by a low palm.
Leader's den- a mini cave above head. There's a 'staircase' of rocks and stones jutting out to reach it. Leader's den is called Shark's Ledge since it looks like a shark tooth.
Warriors' den and Elder's den- the warrior's den is near the front on the right side. It's under two low palms that cross each other. The elder's den is located near the nursery. It's a make shift den with many palm fronds and vines that grow outside. It gives the perfect cover and coolness for old cats.
Apprentices' den- it's next to the warriors' den, covered by a stray bush but with a single nest so the apprentices can warm each other.
There's a freshwater stream that falls from the top of the cave to a small pond by the medicine cat's den.
History, alliances, territory, references-
History
PalmTreeclan was founded by a kittypet she-cat, who was left behind by her house folk while she was pregnant. She came in contact with Starclan and gave her the name, Palmstar. A long came another tom while her kits grew to warriors and a family grew into what it is today.
Daybreak Caverns
On the other side of the small island(a day's walk), is another cave called Daybreak Caverns. It is where starclan comes in contact with Leaders, medicine cats, and apprentices before they become warriors. The caverns are larger than any elephant. A bright and colorful, blue pond is in the center with crystals overhead. They will come down if the cat is not supposed to be there or if the leader is not meant to be.
Alliances
There are no close clans, no alliances but there is a wise parrot that lives in the forest. Her name is Pluma. She comes to the clan camp every full moon to deliver rare herbs and prophecies if she has them, or even warning of dogs, wild boars or twolegs.
Territory
The territory is a long beach. To the east is a rocky slope, easy to climb and not dangerous. Above is a grassy area filled with sand and dried bushes. Father down turns into a tropic area where wild boars and dogs live. Wild cats live there two but they have an alliance with PamTreeclan as well has Pluma. Some have even joined PalmTreeclan in the past.
area names-
Daybreak Cavern- A cave east of camp. Apprentices, medicine cats and leaders come here to contact Starclan
Open Ledge- the area above Daybreak Cavern.
Open Valley- the area above the climbing rocks with grass, dried bushes and sand
Climbing Rock- the rocky area to get to Open Valley. Easy to climb and not dangerous. Rocks are firmly in place.
Coral Rock- an area to the west of camp where Fishers and their apprentices hunt for fish and other foods. Also a place to train apprentices. One Shell Place is found here.
Shark Tooth Challenge- a large rock in front of Daybreak Cavern. The clanners use it to tell where Daybreak Cavern. Warriors must climb this rock to the middle of it before becoming a deputy.
Jungle River- the small river(more like a stream) that divides the Jungle Wanderers and Clan territory. Only cats guided by or allowed by another Jungle Wanderer or Starclan can pass.
Training Tree- a stray tree north of camp by Open Valley. Flowers grew in a circle around the tree. Mentors take their apprentices here to train fighting skills. One Shell Place is found here.
Long Sand- The entire beach that has sand
Shell Place- There are three Shell Places. One is around the Training Tree in Open Valley. A shell is placed there when a cat from that station and such dies.
Other
Ocean Guards- There are two Ocean Guards that switch shifts. The day Ocean Guard's shift starts when the sun is above water and ends when the moon starts shining. The cat sits on the top of Camp(you get there from Open Valley) staring out into the oceans, looking for any large waves or sharks near Coral Rock. The cat determines whether it is safe for fishing or if there are any tsunamis.
Bird Guards- There are two Bird Guards who takes shifts when the other gets tired. They look for any Hawks or falcons that may be aiming for the camp. Their job is to spot and chase away.
Traditions and beliefs-
Birth
When a kit is born, the mother or father goes out and chooses a shell and lays it on the kit's head for the first day. The second day, they bury the shell in the back of the nursery and if the kit grows into an elder, they dig up the shell and buries it in the elder's den until the elder dies.
Picking Deputies
When a deputy dies or when the Deputy goes onto leader, all the warriors, and even Guards, are to go to Shark Tooth Challenge and climb the rock. The rock isn't that tall so if you fell, you'd hit soft and wet sand and lose the Deputy's spot. The last cat on the rock gets the place.
Death
When a clan member dies, their bodies are dipped into the sea when the sun bleeds red. Depending what rank they were in(Fisher, Hunter, Guard, etc), a shell is added in their station for a moon before being thrown into the ocean. When a kit dies, her shell is kept with the mother or father for a moon before it is thrown into the sea. When an elder dies, their shell is kept with the leader for a moon before cast into the ocean. When the leader's last life is lost, all the warriors take their shells and break a part of it before throwing it into the ocean with their leader.
Beliefs
The cats of PalmTreeclan believe of Sea Cats who lure you into the ocean and drown you. They do believe in Starclan(thus the suffix -Star) but they believe in a SeaClan(the Sea Cats) who lure in cats to add to their army. SeaClan never contacts any cat, they simply lure them in without any warning. SeaClan is said to control the waves and who survives in the ocean and who doesn't. They mostly aim for small cats or cats who's heart is full of anger. They think that Pluma is able to contact SeaClan in a mysterious way but she's never made any inclinations to it.
