AN: Here it is! Part/Book 2 of my rebooted story! Excuse the titles for these by the way... I'm not great at them so if I come up with something better I will change them in the future lol.
For new readers, please go read all of "Land of the Long White Cloud", before starting here!
The setting is several moons after the end of the first part/book... can you spot all the changes to the allegiances? In case anyone is curious, we had a body count of 16 (including leader's lost lives) between part 1 and the time skip! I wonder how many will come from this one...? As the title indicates, stuff is going down!
The allegiances and prologue will go up today. I have lots of free time right now so expect a good update pace (I've got a buffer of about 13 chapters already...)
As always, views, favourites, reviews, follows etc are all very much appreciated :)
CLAN ALLEGIANCES & GUIDE
FERNCLAN (31)- To the east of the lake and across the river from Marshclan territory are the forest-dwelling and prosperous Fernclan; generally honourable cats that follow the warrior code and that value honesty and loyalty. Their foliage lush territory is long but narrow following the river to the west and cliffs to the east. Their land stretches from the dirt thunderpath by Steep-Rise to a thin point meeting with Gorseclan. The river is often a site of border skirmishes with Marshclan, particularly in summer when the river has dried up. Up on top of the cliffs is a field where twolegs keep their sheep and is not part of clan territory; though sometimes cats will make the somewhat dangerous climb up the cliffs for the view. While nothing is stopping them from hunting there the forest is usually prey-rich and with the risk of the climb there is no need. The sheltered Fernclan camp is roughly in the centre of their territory; backed up against the cliffs on one side and surrounded by undergrowth on the other, it is easy to defend. Recently, there has been increased twoleg activity inside their borders, along with Marshclan starting up skirmishes at the river border again. Flamestar is an experienced and well-regarded leader.

GORSECLAN (29)- South of Fernclan and with cliffs to the east and Fieldclan to the west, with unknown lands further south, Gorseclan is a generally a brave and strong-willed, if slightly prickly clan of cats. Their territory is mostly full of scrub and rocky outcrops with the odd small, rough tree, and this, along with a set of twoleg beehives found just outside their territory to the south, is what is blamed by other clans for the constant pointy thing clearly kept up their tailfur. Fortunately, as they are the bottom of clan territories with only a small border with Fernclan and the other with peaceful Fieldclan; however, they are still causing trouble. Recently, their southern border has been shifted further down, making their territory larger. Their camp is found backed up against the cliffs; like Fernclan, though it is at the southern point of their territory, with the outside surrounded by dry gorse, broom and bramble. If the entry tunnels are blocked, the camp becomes nearly impenetrable. Icestar took over after the premature death of the last leader. He is a strong, experienced warrior, but has recently started trying to expand his territory, taken in several rouges and is causing conflict with other clans in some kind of drive to gain power out of fear of a mysterious destruction foretold to him by Starclan.

FIELDCLAN (29) - These gentle, unobtrusive but determined cats have the most borders shared with another clan of any of the five clans found by the lake; only to their south are there no clan cats; marked by a twoleg fence and the large cattle often found on the other side of it. To the north is Marshclan along with the Great Hollow where gatherings take place, to the west Gustclan, and to the east Gorseclan along with the very tip of Fernclan's southern border. Having so many other clans at their doorstep can make these cats a little nervous, but they do their best to avoid trouble and are can summon unexpected ferocity to defend their home, loved ones and clan. Recently, Gorseclan have been trying to push the border into their territory, resulting in several skirmishes.The rouge group, having thrown Gustclan into disarray, have also now turned their attention to Fieldclan as well. Their land is mostly open, lush grass and flower fields, along with a pine forest on their western side. Their territory prized for growing ingredients for medicinal uses. Within the pines where their camp is found, hidden in a pile of fallen pines and the undergrowth that has grown up around them. Their leader is Murkstar; considered to be slightly too easy going; though his own clan knows he can get serious when needs be.

GUSTCLAN (17) - Shy and flighty but resilient and speedy Gustclan cats lay claim to the largest territory of all five clans; though theirs is hilly and sparse in both landscape and prey, so the other clans usually don't complain about this. Bordered by Fieldclan to the southeast and the Great Hollow by the northeast, with uncharted hilly, even mountainous terrain in all other directions; the Gustclan landscape is dominated almost entirely by dry grass and twoleg sheep. There are stands of pine; growing in straight lines alongside mankind's fences keeping their livestock where they want them and offering them some shelter. Fortunately for Gustclan, it also offers shelter for them. Prey can be sparse, particularly in summer as the grass dries out and then dies. True to the clan's name, a strong wind blows over the hills most of the time, though luckily the camp is sheltered from this wind in a large ditch by a stand of pines. With some shelter from the landscape here, some bushes have grown providing more places for the cats to make their home. Unfortunately, a large fire caused by lightning strike destroyed their camp and burned a large patch of their territory. The clan has been making do living at the Gathering Hollow. They have also lost several cats to the rouge group; leaving them vulnerable. Like Icestar, Finchstar is a newer leader, though in her case there are some doubts her cautious and somewhat sensitive personality is up to the task, especially in the face of such horrible odds now facing her tiny clan.

MARSHCLAN (21) - Proud and quick-witted Marshclan cats are known mostly for their skill in navigating water and boggy terrain, along with being rather a defensive lot that are easily provoked. Their territory is largely swamp, with some forest and open grassland on their border to the east with Fernclan just before the river. The river and strip of grass on both sides of its banks are hotly contested between the two clans and it never seems to be quite clear who owns it. To their south is Fieldclan, and to the west is the Great Hollow. To the north is the lake; their territory wraps around the bottom and westward side of the lake. Technically as Marshclan own the bottom half of the lake as well; they sometimes fish and hunt waterfowl there, particularly along the shallows. A small island in the lake marks the end of their water border. Cats are not supposed to hunt there; it is a nesting place for waterfowl and allows them a safe place to replenish numbers and provide more prey in the future. The Marshclan dens are found beneath the largest weeping willow in clan territory; found near the Fieldclan border, it's branches touch and run along the ground, creating a sheltering curtain. Rouge scent and prey killed, but no cats sighted, has been recently causing a headache for the clan, along with their leader's eagerness to pick fights and a sickness the clan has just recovered from... Marshclan is led by Swallowstar, the oldest current leader among the five clans. He is rather brash and tends to hold grudges but was otherwise considered to be just and a good leader. Due to his advancing age, recent illness and increasingly erratic behaviour, it is thought he will not be leader for much longer.
