morning swim

Applications for Bogclan are now OPEN!

Three clans, Aspenclan, Bogclan and Ravenclan, teetered on the brink of unneeded war for seasons before their ancestors found fit to punish them. Four moons ago, Starclan's wrath took form in a blazing inferno that tore through their forest, changing the face of the territories forever.

An opportunity arises to walk among the ranks of Bogclan, a collection of boastful cats who value feats of valor, bravery, and community above all else. Their territory sat completely untouched during the devastating fire all those moons ago, and now a question lies before them; what will they choose to do with their newfound advantage over the other two clans? Will you swim the marshes with them now, and help them reach their destinies?

From Fire and Ash is a Discord-based, 16+ literate Warrior Cats Roleplay focused on storytelling and the choices of its players. Based in a once lush forest that is now ravaged by a fire that leapt from the caverns the clans hold most sacred, this roleplay follows the path where the scorched earth ends and new life begins to grow.

Please read through the rules and the information about the clans/group on the website before applying! Feel free to ask any questions you may have during the application window (But be sure to read our FAQ, first! Your question may not be answered if it's already on the FAQ)!

Adoptable Applications will run until 11:59pm PST on June 10th!

Original Character Applications will run until 11:59pm PST on June 18th!

i’ve got to work on my face now, i’m wearing shades when it’s dark out but don’t you worry, i’m just being cool like everybody else around this school

Though she wasn’t born in BogClan, it’s all Redpaw knows. She’s a bit of a loner and takes after her surrogate parent-turned-mentor quite a lot in her demeanor. She has a mouth on her and likes to show off what skills she has learned so far, but don’t worry - she’s eager to teach them to any cat willing to listen. While she has difficulties making friends, once she does, the loyalty she has for them is almost unshakeable.

BogClan - Prologue

“Use them well.”

The words echo in Lavenderstar’s head as they lean down to grasp the small pale kit by the scruff, hefting his baby-round body as gently as she could. She took careful steps across the rainslick stones, listening with flattened ears to the sounds of distant thunder. She, and the rest of what was left of BogClan, trudged through this ragged landscape with their tails dragging and their spirits wilting. There were barely any trees here, not like their old home, which meant they all felt exposed.

Shadedfreckle looked back and forth, eyes darting at every shadow. “I don’t- I don’t know about this, Lavendertr- I mean, Lavenderstar.”

Lavenderstar cast a glance back over her shoulder for only a moment, having to balance just right on the stones. Her paw pads ached from how much rock they’d had to cross to get here; she and the rest of her clan had come from somewhere lush and wet, somewhere with very little hard stone to scrape against your every step. It had made this journey all the more arduous, and then as she fixed her clanmate with what she hoped was an placating look, the throbbing of her paws and the ache of every bone in her body felt like a weight that just might break her.

Warmth pressed into her side, and Lavenderstar could smell the deep scent of clay and green growing things that clung to the edges of the marsh. When she turned, Furzefern stood beside her, pushing her shoulder and body up and into hers to help keep her upright. She looked up at Lavenderstar with a concerned but soft expression. Her fur was short enough to make her look thin and windbeaten when the rain drenched her like that, but her resolve seemed never to falter. “Need help?” She meowed, only just loud enough to be heard above the rain. Her eyes, like the bright blue sky in winter, glittered in the dark.

Lavenderstar silently set the kit- Bluekit, his delicate body marred by a still-healing wound on his haunches. -before Furzefern, stopping just long enough to let her lift him instead before she turned back and wove her way through the line of cats. They had crossed a wide open foothills, then up into the rocks and boulders, all in a single file line while the older cats took turns carrying the babies. The landscape around them was bleak, and some of their attitudes even more so.

“I feel like we’re being followed,” Shadedfreckle hissed under her breath, her pitch dark pelt standing out starkly even against the water darkened earth behind her. Her voice was like gravel clattering against the cliffs, the senior warrior being one of the oldest of them present. “I don’t like being this far from home, what if-”

“Don’t you understand?” Needlewave snapped, her bright pelt the polar opposite of her friend’s. Her tail, a deeper ginger than the rest of her, lashed back and forth behind her. “We’re not going home! Never again.”

“Needle-” Lavenderstar began, her voice rising before she could stop herself, before she was interrupted by Nightgoose shouldering his way between them. It felt a little unnecessary, but the black and white tom had a protective streak wider than Silverpelt. For some reason, it was centered on her. She tried not to take it personally.

Nightgoose went on, amber eyes flashing in the arc of distant lightning. “Listen to me, all of you. We don’t know what we will find here, but it will be better than where we’ve been. That is all I know, but Starclan still guides us even here.”

Lavenderstar felt her spine twitch and almost sat down reflexively in an attempt to hide it. A tell. She took a deep breath, steadying herself. It would do them all no good to panic now. She nodded at Nightgoose and then looked at each of her warriors in turn. She lingered on Willowspeck, the exhaustion apparent behind her eyes even as she kept a hard grip on Chestnutkit, who wriggled madly in her grasp. Her deputy gave the barest nod, urging her silently to continue.

“We’ve been through a lot to get here,” Lavenderstar started, trying to smooth her frustration over with certainty. Thunder roared like some great beast, forcing her to raise her voice above the furious sound. “Our old home may be gone, but it was only a place. The true home is here, standing beside you. We are almost to our destination, I can feel it. I must ask you to trust me in this, so that we might find somewhere new we can live. Somewhere BogClan can thrive.”

Her heart pounded in her ears in rhythm with the rain as she considered her drenched clan and hoped she wasn’t just leading them to more disaster.

Starclan, please let me be right about this.

One year has passed in RavenClan and perhaps the Clan should not have been named after an animal that symbolizes death because, well:

Sycamorepaw is the StarClan guide so he was there from the start, he used to be a med cat apprentice actually. Buzzardpaw was one of Redcrackle's kits who went missing and was found dead. Cloverpaw, one of Snipstar's many children (side-note: he brought two more kits: Tansykit and Pantherkit), found near the BogClan border. And little Aphidkit was taken by a hawk.

StarClan is just three apprentices trying to take care of one kitten, best of luck to them.

The Clan just keeps running into a fox behind the rocks, often ending up injured. Or they're attacked by a swarm of bluejays. There's just no break for these cats I swear.

Also Slippaw became a warrior and is now named Slipcrackle. His mentor was Redcrackle and they even have the same insecure personality.

BogClan, RidgeClan, and DuskClan each have beautiful territories! Which one do YOU want to explore?

New cat on the block

[fromfireandashes]

Introducing the first of Bogclans adoptables, Winterberrypaw and Inkberrypaw!

The newest additions to Bogclans apprentice rank, Winterberrypaw and Inkberrypaw are well known among their clan as being the great grandkits of their current leader, Ashenmoon. Truly taking on the mantle of the 'terrible two', these two have enjoyed the benefits of a loving family who lets them get away with just about anything. With Winterberrypaw as the healer apprentice and Inkberrypaw as the leaders' apprentice, it is clear to most that great expectations have been placed on their shoulders, though how they go about fulfilling those expectations is yet to be seen.

Bogclan applications open in 5 days!

a little beast that just spawned in bogclan :-) ms. leekkit!

hi redpaw!! what are your thoughts on your fellow apprentices? also, are you excited for graduation!!?

"I'm really not close with any of them except maybe Orchidpaw, so it's no wonder I didn't hear anything about Daypaw's plan. I don't know what any of them were thinking. Why didn't anyone talk to me about it? I'm not..."

"... I'm just trying not to think about graduating right now."
