The Kingdom of Ram
Background and History:
The Kingdom of Ram(Also known as Ram) is a clan that resides far into the north, where ice and snow rules almost all year. It began with a group of nomadic cats that had found a large castle, strangely empty and quiet. They had stayed there for quite some time, until they all agreed to remain there and settle down. The castle is quite expansive, and has several wings to it. The clan has been ruled by a single bloodline for as long as any could remember; the Firstbloods.
Castle:
The castle is situated in the end of a small valley, so it is protected on three sides with one exit. The wings have been separated according to rank:
Upon entering, to the left is a door leading to the; Soldier's Den and Squire's Den. The Soldier's den is directly down the hallway, while the Squire's Den is a right turn down the hall. Both are quite luxurious, with regularly replaced moss beds set across marble tiles and beautiful stone walls.
Across from that is the exit to the Training fields, where Squires and Soldiers practice. The Training fields have dummys made of a resilient material that have been there for some time. The dummies act as training material for attacks and techniques.
Down at the opposite end of the entrance lies four different ways to go, two stairs to the left and right which both lead upstairs to the second floor. Directly across from the entrance is the royal hall, and next to the right stairway is the Medic den.
The medic den is where Medics reside and store their herbs. The herbs they collect are both traded by other clans and anticlans, or found in the frozen tundra around them. These herbs are very similar to the ones near the original clans, except frost-resilient.
The royal hall is the, by far, most lavish and beautiful room in the castle. It is decorated with beautiful stained glass windows and red carpets, as well as a red throne trimmed with gold where the king is often found. Behind the throne lies the King's den, as well as the Heir's den. The Nursery is also found in the throne room, because it is one of the easiest places to defend.
Religion:
The cats of Ram worship Nilhaven, the goddess whom of which resides over the ice and cold. Their belief started when the nomadic cats had founded Ram, and when one had stepped outside the castle during a blizzard. She met an ethereal image of a she-cat in the blizzard. Ever since then that cat, Rughi, had been having prophetic dreams, the birth of the first Magi. The goddess of ice is both malevolent and benevolent, giving cats what they deserve. In other words , evil cats feel the wrath of ice, and those who are good are protected by her power.
Ranks:
There are several ranks, mostly defined by birth.
King/Queen(1): The leader of the clan. The king or queen makes edicts, which act as the laws of the clan. These are used to hold peace and harmony throughout the clan. The king's or queen's word is final.
Heirs(Princes/Princesses)(1-4): These are the children of a King or Queen. The king/queen may pick any cat he deems to be his mate, and decides which shall inherit the throne and which shall follow the other parent's role. Heirs can become Squires, Magi, Scouts, or Medics.
Soldiers(unlimited): Soldiers are the basic warriors of the clan. They train and fight for the clan and for Nilhaven, protecting the peace that they have created.
Squires(unlimited, usually less than Soldiers): Squires are Soldiers-to-be. They are given a specific mentor and obey them, practicing under the Soldier's watch.
Scouts(1-3): Scouts spend most of their time either in Scout towers or outside of the clan. They are responsible for some of the hunting and for warning the clan of any immediate dangers they find. Scouts may not be very appreciated, but their work is valuable.
Medics:(1-3): Medics are the healers of the clan. They often go out to find snow-borne herbs that are resistant to the cold. Many herbs of their region are similar to those in the original clans' territories.
Magi(1): Magi are the mystical advisor to the clan. They can see Nilhaven in the natural world, and understand what she speaks(prophecies). They also act as advisors to the King.
Kits and Caretakers: Kits—self explanatory: any cat younger than 6 moons. Caretakers: Those who are caring for or pregnant with kits. They have a temporary lapse of duty while their kits are younger than 6 moons.
Edicts:
Edicts are the laws in place by the king, some are specific and others are general.
Current edicts enacted:
1)The King 's word is law, and final.
2) Any acts of treason are to be held in court of the king. If the king is unable to hold court, the magi shall hold it in place of the king.
3) Soldiers may only train a maximum of two Squires.
4) Heirs who are not inheriting the throne shall follow the other parent's role, as by their blood.
5) If two different ranks have mates, the kits may decide upon 6 moons old on what they wish to be assigned. (i.e. kits of a soldier and a medic can be soldiers or medics.)
6)Both Soldiers and Scouts are responsible for feeding the clan. Any other rank may help if they wish. Except kits.
7) Heirs not to the throne may choose what specialization they wish to follow (Soldier, Medic, etc).

Rank:King
Cat name:Tycon Firstblood
Age: 28 moons.
if heir//to the throne?(y or n): n/a
Description: Tycon is a regal brown cat with a small mane of fur from his neck and white tips on his paws and ears. His fur is always clean and shining, as he always tries to display a regal aura. His green eyes are always warm and kind, but can turn dark like their goddess herself.
Personality: Tycon is a fair and kind king, never one to consider himself above his clan. Whenever he isn't in his throne holding meetings, or sleeping during the night, he is among his soldiers and squires assisting them constantly. He loves to be social and among his allies, but he lost a bit of flame ever since his wife died to Frost-cough, a disease caused by extreme cold(different than frostbite). Still, he tries to keep going without her, his children as a remnant of her and strength for him.
History: Descendent of the very first king, Tycon Firstblood has been born and raised in the clan. He had fallen in love with a Medic, Cythia Mythorne, and had relations with her. They were a truly perfect couple, separated only by death. Cythia had caught Frost-cough during an avalanche that happened while she was out harvesting herbs. Scouts had found her sick and dying, and ever since Tycon had been unconsolable. He seems to have recovered now, trying to be strong for his clan, but it's clear in his eyes that her death still haunts him.

Cat's Name: Thoronis Firstblood (Thoro)
Age: 6 moons.
Rank: Heir—Medic
if heir//to the throne?(y or n): no
Description: Thoronis is a clear, balanced mixture of his father and mother. He is a brown tabby tom with black stripes, and a tip of white on the end of his tail. His eyes are blue and gentle, although serious when they must.
Personality: Thoro was the second-born son of Tycon. As such, he never really stood out among his brothers' extremes; Sylthan was almost a mirror image of his father, and Rythu was a born warrior. Because of this, he learned to be very patient, and spent a lot of time with his Mother(until she passed away, of course.). With the knowledge his mother taught him in tow, Thoro became determined to follow in her footsteps. He decided to become an Apprentice, a term used for medics in training(although they are still Squires). He spends most of his time alone, or quiet during public gatherings. He was always the quiet one, never to engage in conversation unless it was brought to him or he had to.
History: Thoro was born to the clan to his father Tycon and mother Cythia, whom of which took great care of him and his brothers. He was devastated when his mother passed away, but only knowing her for 4 moons left him with a lot missing. He recovered much faster than his father and siblings, and used her death as a strength to continue on, wiser, faster, and better.
