-Oceanclan, as mentioned, has two camps. They have an age-long agreement with Grottoclan and Marshclan that during particularly bad Leafbares and high-tide, they go up to the high-tide camp and stick there until things get better. This agreement has been around since the start of the clans, back when they were first made.

-Instead of the clans being named after their leaders, they're all named after their territories. Each of the first leaders actually had a TITLE rather then an actual name. Grottoclan had The Huntress, Marshclan had The King, Chasmclan had The Guide, Oceanclan had The Angler, Brookclan had The Sentinel, and Fieldclan had The Wanderer. I figured it added an air of mystery to these cats, rather then making them Grottostar, Marshstar, etc etc. They've all actually gotten the -star suffix from the first cat to enter Starclan, Star River as a way of honoring it's memory.

-Grottoclan actually teaches meditation to their cats! They believe a steady mind is very important to survival, and will teach their clanmates how to take a moment and breathe, then return with a steady head.

-Grottoclan also has the equivalent of the Moonstone in their territory- The Star Tree, a giant tree with twisting roots. This tree is probably one of the oldest things in the island tbh.

-in Everlasting Lands, the clans came to be from an awful disaster causing most humans to leave the island and cats banding together to survive. The island itself is actually barely inhabited by humans anymore, with only small towns along the coastline- In fact, there's an entire abandoned twolegplace near Oceanclan's territory. Oftentimes, apprentices will dare each other to sneak out and explore the abandoned twolegplace, as normally they're forbidden to go there- But after an incident where it led to an attack on Oceanclan camp by some rogues, this didn't really happen anymore.

-I literally have an 18 page timeline just talking about everything that happens from the start of Everlasting Lands to where it is currently in my brainspace. Help.
