MoonClan Information

MOONCLAN
SILVER AND CRYSTAL

The easternmost of the twin clans of the mountain was named Moonclan, in honor of Aletheia, Goddess of the Moon and Mistress of Dreams. Although cats from all original five clans went where they pleased, Moonclan is mostly compromised of former Shadowclan and Thunderclan members along with their descendants. Moonclan members are generally strong and pragmatic, with a mysterious air about them. They make for graceful clanmates full of secrecy and adventure.

— CAMP

MoonClan territory has overarching canopies of woven branches that shield out the sunlight and is used as a guide toward the MoonClan camp. A well-worn path is your first indicator, followed by thinner, shorter and lower level canopies that form almost a dense tunnel towards the primary entrance to camp. Inside, the camp is more spacious than the narrower tunnel and entrance perceives, with enough space to mount dens for every rank; exception of leader. Moonclan’s leader den is actually in a hollowed out tree, one of many that circle the area and is large enough for them to rest and discuss important matters in. This enormous wisteria tree with violet and purple leaves is the centerpiece of the area, with smaller but no less beautiful lillies and moonflowers dotting the secret clearing.

— TERRITORY

The vast majority of MoonClan territory is made up of swaths of woodland. With thick and intertwining branches overhead, the territory is naturally darker and cooler with the sunlight coming down during the day in scattered bands of sunshine. While not as dense with undergrowth as old ThunderClan, there’s still enough shrubbery, the occasional jabs of boulder dens and — towards the lake — sticky mud that provides more of a swampy environment. Badgers and foxes are the common enemies here, making nests, scouring for food, while owls tend to frequent the air above, utilizing gaps in the canopy to swoop down on the unsuspecting mouse or cat. By nightfall the territory is much darker, though navigational for MoonClanners as the darkness is never permanent. Once you hit the starlit forest, you’re greeted by light. Otherwise, you can follow one of the many streams that cut through to haunted lake and enjoy not only an easier stretch to walk through but more freedom to see.
