WARRIORS: THE ISLAND CLANS
Far away from ThunderClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, and WindClan, far beyond the Tribe of Rushing Water, lives a group of cats as old as time. For ages, they have lived undetected on an island in the Pacific Ocean. These cats live strictly by the code of tooth, claw and compassion, lain down by their warrior ancestors, IslandClan, uncountable moons ago. At every full moon, they meet in harmony at the Meteorplace, which is a giant meteor in a valley in the middle of the four territories. The four Clans believe that their warrior ancestors first came to the Island on this meteor. The territory is quite different amongst the Island. In the north, forests and meadows are present, and all cats who live there rely on stealth and thick undergrowth to catch prey. In the west, there is a collection of rocks. The cats who live there believe that their ancestors complained to IslandClan about the flat, desolate moorland, so IslandClan sent them an earthquake to give them a rocky shoreline and moors full of prey who hide in gullys. In the south, there are dark caves and tunnels. Legend has it, the caves were formed by the tears of IslandClan. In the east, a gulf cuts deeply into the island, and coral formations are deep within it. Prey is plentiful in the coral reefs.
The four Clans are:
MeadowClan, the Clan that lives in the burrows of old predators and hunts for forest prey. MeadowClan borders StoneClan and CoralClan.
StoneClan, the Clan that lives in the gullys of the rocks along the shore, hunting mostly voles. StoneClan borders MeadowClan and CaveClan.
CaveClan, the Clan that lives high in the dark caves of the island, and hunt for birds of prey. CaveClan borders CoralClan and StoneClan.
CoralClan, the Clan that lives on the peninsula of the island, who hunt for fish that live in the coral formations. CoralClan borders MeadowClan and CaveClan.
The Island Clans work a lot like the Clans of the lake, except for a few minor differences.
1.) The warrior code is known as the CODE OF TOOTH, CLAW, AND COMPASSION.
2.) Warriors are known as PROTECTORS - protectors of their Clans, their beliefs and the code of tooth, claw, and compassion.
3.) Apprentices are known as LEARNERS- trainees to become protectors.
4.) Mentors are known as TRAINERS- trainers of the learners.
5.) Medicine cats are known as HEALING CATS - they use herbs to heal cats and interpret signs of IslandClan.
6.) Queens are known as KIT-BEARERS.
7. Leaders are known as RULERS.
8. Deputies are known as DELEGATES.
9. Elders are known as VETERANS.
10. The seasons are BIRD RETURN (summer, when birds migrate to the island), STORM (fall, when hurricanes and tsunamis most often occur), LOW TIDE (winter, when fish are harder to catch off the shore because of the cooler temperatures), and FLOWERING (spring when flowers burst forth on the tropical trees).
11. The Gatherings are called MEETINGS, and they are held at METEORPLACE.
12. The place like the Moonstone and the Moonpool is a small tunnel that leads to a stone shaped like a cat. The healing cats lay down beside the stone cat to share dreams with IslandClan, which they have dubbed, THE PROTECTOR.
13. The warrior ancestors of the four Clans are called IslandClan.
