THE FIVE CROWNS

Introducing: The Five Crowns, a Warrior Cats roleplay on Discord!

The Five Crowns, also known as TFC, is a Discord-based roleplay that explores the lives of five Clans as they navigate the world and its dangers. While originally modeled after the five book Clans, the inhabitants of TFC’s River Territory are completely removed from the book series, with their own unique histories, traits, and cultures. The roleplay was established in 2018 and continues to host auditions regularly; we’re always excited to welcome a whole new group of people into the roleplay! Traverse the shifting alliances and states of the River Territory and join one (or more!) of our five Clans: passive ThunderClan, stubborn ShadowClan, wise WindClan, fierce RiverClan, or traditional SkyClan.

TFC is enabled to thrive by its incredible community, and as such, we make an effort to consider members in every aspect of the roleplay. In fact, we pride ourselves on our elaborate server-wide plots, which are created by the mod team for our members to engage in. These plots offer unique character and event opportunities that allow members to influence the world on a grander scale. That said, much of our roleplay relies on member interactions; we encourage members to forge relationships with one another and build both their characters and our world through their own plots and development plans. In essence, we offer both large- and small-scale development styles!

TFC is an aged 16+, literate roleplay, meaning we require 8+ sentences in each roleplay message. Our activity checks, known as Check-Ins, open from Friday to Sunday every weekend. Don’t have enough time to be roleplaying more than once or twice a week? No problem! We only require 1 to 2 roleplay message(s) to check-in, and have no further activity requirements. We prioritize keeping as much of our community together for as long as possible, and allowing our busier members to still participate in the world we’ve forged together.

Want to see if the roleplay is right for you, or just interested in reading more about our lore? Check out our Main Doc! Here you can find anything and everything related to TFC, such as information on how the roleplay functions, the workings of our world, and an in-depth write-up of all our lore and previous plots. Feel free to ask us any questions you have about this roleplay in our asks!

there's no way i JUST missed auds ... is it too early to ask when they'll reopen LOL

Wave 26 auditions are officially open for one more week!

You can read more information about this wave here, and if you have any further questions, feel free to send them in an ask.

I'd love to have my character learn the lore and world practices alongside me as I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty overwhelming for someone who has only been part of casual roleplay in the last couple years. I have a hard time with the idea of throwing in an adult character with zero relationships/experience in the world.

I'm interested regardless! Just trying to explore my options lol. Have a good day :)

Unfortunately we're only accepting warriors in this wave of applications. However, you can choose to make your character freshly graduated if that would help with the desire to learn the lore alongside your character!

The Five Crowns is open for its twenty-sixth wave of auditions!

WE WANT YOU! in The Five Crowns, also known as TFC, is a 16+, literate roleplay centered around the trials and conflicts of five Clans. While originally modeled after the five book Clans, TFC’s five River Territory Clans are unique to the canon, with their own extensive backstories and lore. The mod team encourages you to read the following documents prior to or during auditioning to learn more about the roleplay:

This is TFC’s twenty-sixth wave of auditions. We are accepting auditions with characters that are warriors in ShadowClan and SkyClan. When creating your character, we suggest perusing the roster found in the Systems Spreadsheet to gather more information about your character’s prospective Clanmates.

If the Clan you want to join isn’t open this wave, please note that the other Clans are opened inside the roleplay for new characters for members. If you’re unhappy with the Clans open in this wave, but want to give the roleplay a try, we encourage you to still audition.

Auditions will be open for two weeks, and will close on June 20th at 11:59pm EST. After submitting your audition, you will receive a Discord friend request from a mod so we can contact you if necessary. Acceptance messages will be sent to new members via Discord in the days following the deadline.

If you explicitly stated in your audition that we should prioritize a different method of contact, you will be messaged on that platform instead.

Audition Form

When submitting your audition, you’ll have to sign into an email; please use an email that you’re comfortable sharing and using for your character docs if accepted.

To track progress on auditions and learn more about the roleplay, please consider following the blog! We’ll be posting updates and other content throughout the audition window. If you have further questions, feel free to send them in our Asks.

In case you’re wondering what TFC has been up to since the last auditions wave, here’s a recap of the previous plot and what has followed:

“Jaystar stood beside Viperlily, staring at Nettlefrost, Wisteriadusk, Ivoryveil, and Sedgemist. The leader was nervous for this group to leave. Not only was the outcome a total wildcard, he was sending his daughter, and on top of that, their medicine cat. His gaze lingered on each of the chosen cats in turn. They all trusted him enough to walk into the unknown for WindClan and to find their ancestors. For a moment, he didn’t say anything, unwilling to let them leave. With a sigh, he nodded his head, as if a way to console himself. “Thank you all again for being willing to travel such distances for WindClan.” He began quietly. “You’re going farther than any of us have traveled, paths that will certainly try to break you before you reach the mountains.” Blue eyes flickered briefly toward Viperlily, confidence creeping in as he looked at his daughter. “I am confident you will find what WindClan needs. The mountains surely will have a connection point to reach StarClan. They will tell us what the River Territory needs to do.” He was sure of it. They had to be there.”

Recently, Jaystar has sent a group of four WindClan warriors alongside his medicine cat on a journey to the mountains in hopes they can contact StarClan and move there permanently. From left to right, Sedgemist, Nettlefrost, Viperlily, Wisteriadusk, and Ivoryveil have started their adventure and currently trek through The Withering Fields. Hopefully they’ll make it there soon.

This past week, TFC members celebrated the 8th year of our roleplay through Spirit Week. Each day brought new activities for members to engage with as we all worked to uplift this wonderful community that makes our roleplay thrive!

The image above is a collage of the beautiful work our members created during our Arts and Crafts Day. Hypokits, creatures, nests, and flower crowns were designed through member-created artwork and bases drawn by mods. Our talented and creative community truly shines during this day!

Our members also had other opportunities throughout the week to celebrate. On Community Day, a roleplay-wide scavenger hunt was held, testing knowledge of former plot events and characters! A non-canon in-roleplay party was held, allowing members to use dead and alive characters at a celebratory party on Anniversary Day. Character Day was celebrated by allowing members to trade OCs for the day and pretend to be their character in our fun chats. Our Plot Day encouraged members to analyze past plots and make AUs using forums to share their ideas. Mod Day allowed members to get a taste of what it is like to be a moderator by looking at forms, answering questions from members, and creating their own plot with events. Finally, we celebrated Game Day with several hours of chat and online games. Members were rewarded for engaging by earning tickets to a raffle at the end of the week and the winners will be receiving moderator art!

Today, May 25, 2026, is TFC's 8-year anniversary! The roleplay is celebrating with our annual Spirit Week, which started yesterday and will last until Saturday.
