Currently Happening:
SierraClan and all but few of its members are gone, destroyed from a fatal chain of illness and inner-clan violence and closely following in its pawsteps is CascadeClan. While most would have suspected the lush, plentiful land would be a home to cats for generations to come. However, when the prey became infected with an all-but-undetectable disease, the cats had few options when their council died away one by one. The cats were forced to either flee or starve when they realized what was destroying their friends and family. The small amount of remaining cats from both clans have spread out through the territories, some choosing to live as loners while others joined the only two remaining clans. But with former allies FjordClan and RuptureClan the only ones left on the desolate coast of Iceland, things are bound to get tense, and all the while former members of the other two clans are feeling lost and misplaced, itching to return home despite the threats that now lurk there.

Winter has always been a difficult time for the clan cats, and clanless cats alike, but this particular winter seems to have become more relentless than usual with frequent sweeping winds and pounding blizzards that shroud the territory. Prey is very low, for almostall the small creatures cats may eat have either died or gone into hiding, and the early frosts have destroyed many of the clans' herbs. Harsh leaf-bares bring about unforgiving illnesses- one of which being the sickness that has all but destroyed the former SierraClan. The survivors now flee from their old home, now set in a state of chaos, and potentially spread the virus they may hold. Short tempers flare under the pressure of such a fierce winter and it is up to the cats to hold out through the wild weather and survive the season.
Breeding/kitting is discouraged, prey is very low, and the herb stores are very low. Blizzards and heavy wind are common at this time, and the temperatures are also very low.

RUPTURECLAN RuptureClan cats live on a harsh expanse of warm, crispy earth, beneath which lies a network of hot springs and geysers, bubbling underneath the surface and threatening to burst at any moment. Naturally, the cats of this clan have to be extra cautious, although burning sensations in your pawpads and a slight trembling are pretty good indications. The advantageous side of this territory is warm climate, even in the midst of leaf bare, and cats who are near immune to diseases such as greencough. The terrain becomes slightly more hospitable the farther you get from the springs, however, prey and fresh water is far and few between in this barren area, leaving these cunning cats likely to infringe upon other clans' territory.
FJORDCLAN FjordClan cats have settled themselves on tall, precarious cliffs overlooking the ocean, where the the salty smell of sea is carried on the breeze and the weather can get quite ferocious at times. The actual camp is located in a clearing partially sheltered by a grove of tall pine trees, arguably the safest place in the territory. These cats are well adapted to the area, with large builts and thick pelts, suited for clambering around rocks and resistant to the harsh gales. They are also fairly skilled in hunting native birds that nest on the cliffs, such as puffins and skuas. On the downside, they recieve the worst of leafbare's wrath, with little to protect them from the deadly blizzards. Their territory is jagged and mountainous, almost, but farther inland the ground flattens out, with some grass and wildflowers, even.
STARFALLS Emerging from a long, dark tunnel whose mouth lies at the inland edge of the clan territories, those seeking solace with StarClan are faced with many thin, short rough trails which lead to the round blue pool. The pool is surrounded by tall stone walls, with the only exit being the tunnel and a tall waterfall tumbling over one edge, which is the namesake of StarFalls. Upon wading into the shallow waters, one is abruptly transported to the endless lush lands of StarClan.

MIST MEADOWS Wedged neatly between CascadeClan and RuptureClan, bordering SierraClan is a vast meadow, dotted with pebbles and sheets of stone. Due to the nearness of the ever-warm RuptureClan territory, the earth beneath the grassy field appears to be warm. The ever-present vapor shrouding the air is the area's namesake, caused by the differences in temperature. Cats may gather here, where a vast square boulder shrouded in moss overlooks their mingling.
ABANDONED CASCADECLAN The cats of CascadeClan make their home in a lush, secluded little nook, where crystalline water trickles down mossy rock walls, and the spray of a few miniature waterfalls keeps the grass moist and full of life. This is the most green and pure of all the clans' territories, however, it is also vulnerable to flooding and in the past CascadeClan has been temporarily forced to move camp. Despite being surrounded by water, the cats of this clan are not extraordinary good swimmers, but they have adapted to wading around and keeping a firmer grasp on slippery terrain. They hunt primarily small fish that live in the shallow pools emcompassing their camp, and small rodents that build nests in the rock walls. The territory consists of moorlike flora and rolling green hills.
ABANDONED SIERRACLAN The cats of SierraClan call the peak of a dormant volcano home. It's been years upon years since this particular volcano has erupted, and since then erosion has hollowed out a crater and steady rainwater has created a small pond. The cats make their camp on a relatively flat ledge with crevices and crannies suitable for dens. The whole mountain, however, isn't paticularly steep, so it's a stone's throw away from flatter land with sparse grass and prey such as rabbits, minks, and mice. In leaf bare when the pond at the top tends to freeze up, these cats have to rely on the streams and creeks that run through the lower altitude territory.

TOWN LANDS Tucked beyond the ridges following the clan territories, lies a small town, altough it is more like a village in size. It is surrounded by all but bare land dappled with various knolls and hills. Many cats thrive here, begging food or shelter from twolegs or roughing it on their own in the surrounding land.
