For endless moons the clans - Treeclan, Forestclan, Caveclan and Mountainclan - have always lived together, following the same warrior code and looking at the same stars. They fought about the usual border fights or the argues of one clan taking anothers preys, or a young cat would innocently cross the border, or one of the more ambitious clans who thought they deserved more territory then the others.

The clans have always had issues with twolegs trampling the undergrowth and scaring away the prey and making the clans more hostile and more willing to trespass into other clans territory. The clan leaders like to send their spies into other clans territory to learn whatever they can get, be it battle strategies or the next time they plan to attack one of the other clans. When times are rough the clan cats fight tooth and claw to defend their clans! Join in the battle and chose which mighty clan you want to be in, to follow the warrior code and learn the ways of a clan cat!
