Lore

WhisperingClan is one of six clans in a large, mostly forested and hilled area, with a small lake in the centre with creeks running into and off it. The Clans have a dedication to staying independent from the others, and especially away from loners, rogues, kittypets, and Twolegs. Each clan's camp is completely unknown to anyone outside of their own clan members. [TERRITORY MAP]

Each clan has a niche centred around stealth.

WhisperingClan come and go like whispers on the wind, there for a moment and gone the next - however, after the tragedy that befell them, they had to rework this into a more defensive standpoint.

HollowClan are experts in making hidden spaces across their territory, either to hide in themselves or cultivate the natural prey population, gaining their name from the hollowing out of tree stumps or digging into shallow caves.

SootClan creates what they call "pelt-paint" from mud and ash from cooking, often staying entirely coated in it to stay unnoticed, even when attending Gatherings.

DriftClan simply drifts from place to place, never being where they're expected to be. Being a generally smaller clan focused on mediation between the other five, they often walk the exact border lines, making sure that they're not being encroached upon. They tend to stay around the neutral territory of the lake, however.

CreekClan takes the majority of water-based activity in the clans, perfecting silently swimming and diving in order to catch prey and hide away from enemies. They're most often seen hiding underwater and dragging prey into the water, drowning it. Most view them as the clan most comfortable with violence.

QuietClan was originally an offshoot of WhisperingClan, formed after a civil war generations ago. Surprisingly, after the war ended, relations with their parent clan have been strong and unbreakable, often supporting each other in times of need. They take to using the natural noise of the world around them to cover their own movements.
