I just felt I should help explain how the clan works and it's roles =)

Leader- Can mate with whoever they please, and usually have a lot of kits. Usually a tyrant

Deputy- Can mate with lower ranks as they please

Med. Cat- Usually is dominated by lower ranks. If they get pregnant/ get another cat pregnant both them and their kits will become slaves.

Warriors- Can mate with lower ranks. If they betray the clan in any way, they can become breeder or slave.

Mentors- They teach their apprentices the way of being a warrior as wells as mating. Mentors cannot get their apprentices pregnant unless the apprentice's parents give permission (usually the case)

Apprentices- Usually are dominated by elders/warriors, but they are allowed to mate with each other and some of the older kits

Kits- can engage in eroctic play, they Can mate but it's not encouraged

Elders- Can mate with anyone who isn't the leader or deputy

Rape is permitted in the clan as long as no one is seriously hurt. Warriors who become slaves as part of a punishment get to keep their full name, but they have very little interaction outside of mating.

A mating festival is held every moon cycle between the clans in place of a gathering. One of the few times a half clan relationship is encouraged. Mating is optional but most likely you be forced on if you don't mate.

Medicine cats still meet Moonarch (an arch of smooth stone that goes over a small pool of water with a clear crystal protruding from the center) and Can mate or talk with cats of Starclan for advice.

Homosexuality is quite accepted in mating to achieve ultimate pleasure, however outside of mating it isn't thought highly of. (Basically if same sex couples are romantic outside of mating, Sneid remarks and made and they are sometimes ridiculed)

Sorry if this is sloppy, I'm tired but figured this might be good information. Also I've started on chapter on and I'm about 1/4 if the way through.
