The founding
Our story starts with the North Star.
The brightest star upon the endless sky, the North Star is the anchor of the heavens and earth. Taking shape as a mighty lynx, made of the cosmos itself, They brought forward the mortal felines.
They watched Their children live and frolic, but as it tended to do, the mortals eventually started wars and battles, killing one another in endless cruelty. To put a stop to this, Itha the North Star itself, gave a command.
‘'There shall be a leader to lead the clan, a deputy to take their place after death and a sage to speak my will and make it happen. Warriors who will lay their lives for their clan and to defend those who can not defend themselves''
But the mortals could not choose where to settle down, so they separated into four different clans.
The first one followed the tracks of a wolf pack, finding the tight knit family of canines by the rocky sea shore. They admired the wolves' sense of unity and family. They decided to make their own clan a reflection of a wolf pack- led by two leaders affectionately called the ‘’parents’’ of the clan, a mated couple who would look after the clan's well being. This is how Wolfclan came to be.
One group of cats traveled to the abandoned farm lands where odd, decaying stone and wood structures remained by a calm pond. These cats enjoyed the quiet, simple life and they admired the beautiful swan that made their home by the pond. After following them for seasons, they saw that the birds mated for life. These cats decided to name themselves Swanclan, and honor love, grace and healing.
The third group wanted to distance themselves from the rest and traveled to the ancient pine forest deep within the territories. They found a mother bear and saw how she defended her cubs from a much larger male. Admiring the mothers will to defend her young, these cats named themselves Bearclan and decided to honor courage and motherhood.
The final group settled in a beautiful birch forest. They found a moose family, and were in shock with the sheer size of the male mooses’ antlers. The antlers were like a crown bestowed upon its head, tangling with flowers and gore alike. They decided to name themselves Mooseclan, and honor loyalty and hard work above all else, and to have a strong male as a leader. In time this tradition morphed to nepotism and turned to royalty, where only the eldest child of a litter from the leader would inherit the leader position.
