Plotline

The roleplay takes place 10 years after Bramblestar's Storm, where the tornado instead did irreparable damage. Lives and homes were lost, and in the end, their hope as well. As the four Clans began to struggle, a rogue group moved in to drive them out, leaving the Clans to come together and huddle along the borders of their Clans, watching as all that they had worked for disappeared before their eyes.

And StarClan did not answer their prayers. Hopeless, their ancestors gave them only one command: Do not go east to the forbidden lands.

The four Clans sent patrols out in every direction in hopes of finding a new and promising home. Only one returned: the patrol sent to the east. They boasted the land's rich wealth in prey and beautiful territory, exclaiming that they had to journey there, that it was their only hope. The Clan leaders (Lionstar, Rowanstar, Mistystar, and Harestar) were anxious, recalling StarClan's grim warning about the eastern land. They agreed to wait one last moon, to see if any of the other three patrols would return. None of them did, so it was decided that they'd head east.

But the four Clans should have listened to their ancestors. After 8 years spent living in the Forbidden Land, after the territory was finally split between ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan, disaster struck. There was famine, disease, drought, and unspeakable events. What ultimately ended it all was a tragic earthquake that caused many cats to lose their lives. The few survivors who remained slithered out of the shadows to rejoin in one big, safe Clan: DawnClan. It was named after what they aimed for: a new dawn, a new beginning.

Now, two years later, things have started to fully recover. Trees have regrown, and the territory seems habitable again. The main Clan, DawnClan, is currently a safe haven, but the Clan is starting to outgrow its small territory. With two deputies and two medicine cats, there seems to be enough members to split off, make new Clans...But...will you take this leap of faith?

Setting:

Current Season: Newleaf
DawnClan Territory:
DawnClan was once the only Clan, and as a result, it had a massive population. Unfortunately the territory was small due to the previous leader being too afraid to explore the Forbidden Land in depth, fearing that they'd run into dangerous after the earthquake. Regardless, DawnClan's territory is still miraculously fruitful, and is frequently seen as a safe haven.
Camp is centered in a golden wheat field mixed with a few meadow flowers and plants, possibly the remains of what once was farmland. However, mice are plentiful, and sometimes even run through camp and causing kittens to be very entertained. The leader's den is mound created by large boulders, and it also doubles up as High Rock for announcements. The Medicine Cat den is a large, old tree stump that may be small but still serves its purpose. To the right of that is the elders den. Separating these dens from the others is a small, shallow creek that runs through camp and provides cats with a reliable water source. The warriors den and nursery are a series of burrows, while apprentice sleep in a hallowed out tree that fell many moons ago.
What borders this meadow is a rather intimidating forest, which is used for hunting and herb-gathering. It frequently frightens kittens and cowardly apprentices due to its dark appearance, but it holds many rewards inside. Patrols like to hang out in its shadow on hot greenleaf days, while the medicine cat explores it frequently for herbs.

?????????:
Hmm...how strange...it appears that this Clan doesn't exist yet. Maybe you have to roleplay to find it?

????????:
Odd, this Clan too!

??????:
And another! Better jump in that roleplay.
