Hello there! I'm looking for anyone that would love to join a wworld that's inspired by Warrior Cats. Not quite like it, although I did take a lot of inspiration from it. I hope you'll all give it a chance and enjoy it as much as I do. Everything you need to know, and what I have so far is listed below. Thanks for taking your time to check it out!
Name subjected to change. Once we get a lot and stuff. For now, this is a placeholder.

Rainclan cats have a wide variety of pelt colors, but the ones that tend to be commonly found are grey, black, and white. These cats lean towards eye colors such as hazel and pale green, but other colors such as blue, yellow, orange, amber, dark blue, and copper can be found.
Fernclan cats are usually born with dark pelts. These cats typically have brown, dark brown, black, and other variations of those colors for pelts. They are born with earthy eye colors such as copper, amber, green, and occasionally yellow, gold, or blue.
Meadowclan cats live in a less dense part of the forest. They have skinny body types, longer legs and tails, making them more aerodynamic than most cats. Coats change colors slightly with the seasons. They've been in the wild for many generations, so their coats evolved to change slightly to blend in with their consistently changing terrain. Like snow foxes. They have a wide variety of pelt colors, same goes for eye colors.
Springclan cats have evolved to have denser, oily, and more insulated coats and slightly larger paws with powerful legs and tails for swimming. They live by a large body of water where they hunt and swim in. Much like Meadowclan, they have a wide variety of pelt colors and eye colors.
Rainclan territory: From afar, the mountains look lifeless and cold. However, Rainclan has adapted to their territory and survived.
There are rivers that run through the mountain and forest parts of their home, where Rainclan draw water from.
Over countless moons, the early founders of this clan mastered the art of hunting in their provided space. This skill has been used to dominate large prey, and it's always evolving.
Rainclan camp: a clearing where they have set up their camp. Their make their dens out of the rock/caves of the mountain side.

Fernclan camp: Fernclan cats like to stay unnoticed. They reside in a hidden, shaded rock hollow, with neighboring trees and undergrowth used for extra purposes and protection. From the front, the camp seems like a pile of rocks. But from behind, it opens up into the hollow.
The hollow has all sorts of cracks and crevices - this is an asset when storing prey and herbs, along with making dens and nests. Most warriors and apprentices sleep wherever they please or bother to make a nest around camp.
Territory: Besides the camp, there are a few other things that highlight what Fernclan territory is like. These nimble cats are trained to navigate rocky and thick-vegetation terrain to avoid injury.
During any sort of infiltration or invasion by another clan, Fernclan is at an advantage due to the thick undergrowth only they know how to navigate.
They like being in the shadows, even during leaf-bare. Cats have claimed it makes them feel protected. There are some streams that run through their territory.
Near camp is the Crepscule Tree. When ordered to go on night watch, a warrior will climb its branches to oversee the territory for threat. Prisoners and very sick cats are held here when needed.

~Lore~
Summer Solstice celebrates kittens. Kittens get extra toys and attention and generally are treated extremely well. Expecting mothers get first choice of prey and special treatment. Kittens born on the solstice are considered extra lucky and will usually be named after the sun in some way.
Because cats don't know what summer is, they call it the Longest Day.
It's the same thing for the Winter Solstice, though they call it the Longest Night. Everything is the same as the Longest Day, kittens born during the Winter Solstice are often named after the moon, or winter-themed names.
Any cat that's an outsider that wishes to join the clan will be put through a challenge to see if they have what it takes to become a member of their clan. If they have the heart and soul to be a warrior. To prove themselves, after all, the clan isn't going to waste their time, energy, and prey on a cat that has no drive, no determination, not the heart and soul to be a warrior.
Participates must go out of camp alone at night, and bring back items requested by the leader. The items in question are different for every clan. They must do all of this alone and return by sunrise.
If the items brought back are deemed good, then the cat will be welcomed into the clan officially, and the clan celebrates with a ceremony. The cat is now, body, and soul, a part of the clan. If a cat fails, then the cat is exiled from the territory.
If a member of the clan still doesn't believe that the outsider should be welcomed in, they will need to prove themselves in a fight. If they win, they can stay. If they lose, then they must leave, and never come back.
Spirits Beyond are those who have died. They give omens, visions, and prophecies to living cats.
Spirits can pledge their soul to a leader. Nine spirits can do this, thus giving the leader nine lives. The spirit isn't separate from the leader. They can't hear or see the spirit once one has pledged themselves. Good and bad cats can pledge their soul.
A spirit can expend their power to help protect a leader; say if a leader got bit by a fox or wolf that would be fatal, the spirit would make it to where it didn't kill the leader.
The wound will not be healed instantly, and the cat doesn't die. The wound will need time to heal, and the leader will need time to recover.
Once a spirit has used up their energy, they will leave the leader, going back to the Beyond. Thus making the leader have lost a life.
Good and evil cats go to Spirits Beyond.
