Clan culture: Seers

- Unknown if StarClan actually exists. Leaders do not literally get nine lives, but they do come out of Mothermouth a changed cat

- Seers (medicine cats) ingest hallucinogens (“Moon Flower” aka Jimson weed) before communicating with StarClan. They claim that the plant opens their minds and lets them into a sort of netherworld between the living and the dead

- Seers meet at the Moonstone once a month, but they can communicate with StarClan by ingesting the plant and isolating themselves as well

- Seers are the most exalted members of the Clan. However, they are typically withdrawn from normal Clan life and are seen more as an outsider than a friend

- Seers live shorter lives due to the hallucinogens they ingest. Moon Flower must be used sparingly, because if a seer uses it too often, their visions will start to bleed into their day-to-day lives, causing persistent hallucinations even while not under the influence (this is part of the reason that a seer apprenticeship is much longer than a warrior apprenticeship — seers must learn how to safely commune with StarClan)

Clan culture: RiverClan

- Values: grace, intelligence, likability, athleticism

- Sacred animal: otter

- Celebrates green-leaf with a fishing and sunning festival

- Least religious Clan

- Leader is viewed as a Clanmate and regularly hunts/patrols with the warriors

- Leader speaks to all warriors before making decisions (somewhat akin to democracy)

- Most loosely follows the Warrior Code

- Warriors regularly opt to become kittypets — Clan welcomes outsiders and outbreeding with kittypets/rogues/loners

- Places strong emphasis on family

- Warriors typically mate for life with a ceremony when they declare each other mates

- Mates are allowed to outbreed but each mate will love and care for the resulting kits as if they were theirs (biologically)

- It’s not uncommon for best friends to choose to have kits together (even if they’re not mates)

- Places high emphasis on physical beauty

- Decorates camp and dens with shells/feathers

- The dead are laid to rest in the river, where the body is swept away

[anotherwarriorsrewrite]

Clan culture: WindClan

- Values: candor, wisdom, humility, spirituality

- Sacred animal: hawk

- Celebrates new-leaf with annual races and obstacle courses

- Welcomes outsiders IF the outsider can beat a pure blooded WindClan warrior in a race

- Strongly discourages breeding outside the Clan

- Most strictly follows the Warrior Code

- VERY religious

- Leader consults with seer (medicine cat) before every decision made (checking the will of StarClan)

- Queens and fathers often raise their kits together as a collective

- The dead are taken to a “cemetery” spot high on the moor and laid out so their spirits can ride the wind to StarClan

- WindClan cats are horrified by the idea of burying the dead and trapping them underground

[anotherwarriorsrewrite]

Clan culture: ShadowClan

- Values: stealth, cunning, ferocity, loyalty

- Sacred animal: owl

- Celebrates leaf-bare by playing prey-stone on the frozen marsh

- Clan is awake primarily at night but still assigns sunhigh and sunset patrols

- Light-furred cats are encouraged to roll in the mud when hunting at night

- Places emphasis on the bond between squad-mates (cats who trained together as apprentices)

- Extremely superstitious

- Word of the leader = word of God

- Seer (medicine cat) is the most valued member of the Clan; to disrespect the seer is to disrespect StarClan themselves

- Perform blood sacrifices to StarClan in times of hardship

- Welcomes outsiders with open arms and doesn’t give a shit about blood “purity”

- Fathers are rarely involved with their kits but try to keep their individual breeding pools small (this is why Raggedstar’s relationship with Brokentail was unusual)

- Bogs are considered gateways to StarClan — once you’re stuck in a bog, it’s nearly impossible to escape

- As such, apprentices are taught to respect and revere the bogs, but to avoid them at all costs

- ShadowClan cats lay their dead to rest in the bog

Clan cultures: ThunderClan

- Values: honor, strength, integrity, courage

- Sacred animal: deer

- Celebrates leaf-fall by decorating the camp with fallen leaves that they find beautiful

- Places emphasis on the bond between mentor and apprentice

- Word of the leader has immense weight, but the leader traditionally listens to their Clanmates’ advice and concerns

- Not overly religious but still respects StarClan

- Wary of outsiders

- Values blood “purity”

- Uncommon for queens to choose not to divulge the sire, but not taboo

- The dead are buried under the Great Sycamore, where their bodies give life to the tree
