Teuta sighed as she left yet another abandoned standtall building. She had had no luck in recruiting members to her ever-so-small crew. The ruby-eyed she-cat simply assumed that no one quite liked the idea of a semi-nomadic Clan living in a modern pirate ship, especially considering that the majority of her potential recruits were roques.
Sighing in her dramatic fashion once again, Teuta loudly retreated back to the aforementioned ship, making sure anyone within earshot understood that they could join her Clan anytime and that she wouldn't be wandering around begging for new members any longer.
The she-cat was now very tired, and thus when she saw her ship she nearly fell over in excitement. The ship, dubbed the Ambrosia, was large and beautiful enough to make anyone stop and stare in astonishment. The Ambrosia was the only thing Teuta liked about the standtalls- their ability to create such beauty gave a Teuta a deep respect for them, albeit her ever growing hatred of their destructive and no-furred ways.
Teuta was shaken from her thoughts as she reached the end of the wharf, where she sat facing away from her beloved ship and waited.

Welcome! As previously stated, The Crew of the Ambrosia is a pirate-style Clan that works similarly to the way a traditional Clan would, with the exception of a more democratic leadership and differently named ranks. The Crew was put together by Teuta after discovering the Ambrosia, who has dedicated herself to creating a thriving community, whether a Clan or not, among other, larger groups.
[size=5pt](And to just to make sure none of you have been left in the dark (although I'm almost sure no one has): yes, Teuta calls humans 'standtalls'. No, you do not have to call them that unless you want to.)

territory

The Ambrosia is docked in an abandoned port known to humans as Port Aeston. The animals who take up residence in the area usually call it something along the lines of "Shore Camp", but occasionally one may call it by its human-given name.
The port has become somewhat overgrown, and, due to the same origins of the overgrowth, many prey-creatures have populated the area
