New Warrior

Brookstar leaped onto the Highrock, calling the clan to gather as she did so. "Today Talonpaw has proved himself worthy to become an apprentice." Turning to face Dawnshadow, she meowed, "is your apprentice well trained in the skills of a warrior and the warrior code?"

"He is," the silver tabby she-cat replied.

"Then Talonpaw, come up here. Talonpaw, do you promise to uphold and defend the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" Brookstar asked.

"I do."

"Then from now on you will be named Talonstrike. We honor your loyalty, determination, and skill in battle."

The leader put her muzzle on his head and Talonstrike licked her shoulder. "Tonight you will hold vigil for the clan in silence."

Then, leaping down, Brookstar joined her clan in cheering the new warrior.

New Cats

Brookstar leaped up onto the Highstone, silver fur glinting in the sunlight. "Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey please gather here for a clan gathering!" She yowled. After the clan had all arrived, she gestured with her tail to the two young cats waiting at the base of the Highstone. "This is Pinepaw and Sweetpaw," she meowed. "They are joining FalconClan. Pinepaw wishes to take on the role of a Medicine Cat Apprentice. Violetgaze, our Medicine Cat, will mentor him until he becomes a full Medicine Cat."

"Sweetpaw will become a warrior apprentice." Brookstar's gaze swept over the cats until she found the one she was looking for. "Redstorm, you are a loyal and strong warrior. You will become Sweetpaw's mentor. I hope that you will pass on your skills to this new apprentice." After the new cats had touched noses with their mentors, Brookstar said before the clan started cheering for the new apprentices, "FalconClan is growing! We will become a strong clan!" Then, with a graceful leap, she bounded off the Highstone and started cheering for Pinepaw and Sweetpaw.

Patrol Page

This is where you hunt and do border patrols for your deputy or your leader, not on your own will. If you want to go hunt because you feel like it, go to Sunnyrocks or Willow Stream or something like that.

The Cloudy Gorge

This deep, deep gorge is so high up towards the mountains that it is in the clouds. You can barely see where the gorge ends and when you'd step off the edge. This is where the larger and fiercer birds, like hawks and eagles, live so if you plan on catching one, come here. However, keep this in mind: they will see you better than you will see them, so be careful- they have the higher advantage! Strictly restricted from kits, elders, and younger apprentices.

Sunnystones

Next to the Lake, it is a place of smooth stones where the sun always hits. It is excellent for hunting, fishing, drinking, and most of all, relaxing.

Welcome and Medicine Cats

Brookstar leaps up onto the Highstone and yowls for her clan to gather. "Welcome to FalconClan! First I would like to thank all of you for joining. Let me name our new deputy, Shinestream! And our Warriors: Spiderflight, Redstorm, and Dawnshadow, whose apprentice is Talonpaw!"

She waits patiently as the small clan cheers for each other. "Now, I would like to say something extremely important: We NEED a Medicine Cat. They are VERY important to a clan."

(so basically, we need someone to join as a medicine cat.)

(Also, all the important info your cats can't know but YOU need to know is posted at the top, right below the FalconClan pic)

"Meeting dismissed!" Brookstar mews, and leaps down from the Highstone to welcome the newcomers.

Information Page

This is a page to let you tell me what I need to know, not Brookstar. For Example: If one of your cats die, whether you want to change your cat's picture or not, if a cat is pregnant, if I've forgotten anything or made mistakes, etc. You can tell me whatever you would like, but please, don't bombard me with repetitive messages.

The Forest

Running rich with prey, The Forest covers up much of FalconClan territory. Because FalconClan cats specialize in their strong back legs for jumping, have long, stable claws for climbing, and have hard pads because they live among boulders, most of the prey caught are birds, rabbits, and squirrels, though there is also almost always a reasonable amount of mice and voles in the fresh-kill pile. There are four main sections of the Forest- the Aspen, Ash, Maple, and Hawthorn Woods. The center of the four Woods is Shadowpines, the darkest part of the forest.

The Marsh

The Marsh is (guess what?!) a marshy area close to the lake. It is a great place for collecting herbs and catching some waterside prey. FalconClan cats, however, don't go into the marsh that often, as though they might be able to catch fish, they would hardly EVER swim.

Training Hollow

Mentors take their apprentices here to do battle training or teach their apprentices the proper way to hunt different types of prey. It is pretty much the only place in FalconClan territory that has a nice, soft ground- perfect for training.

Shadowpines

The darkest part of the forest, where you can barely see the sunlight streaming through the trees, Shadowpines may be a little scary but runs rich with prey as not many cats go there. Be careful, though, because there are quite a lot of owls that live there. It is in the center of the four Woods, a small part of the forest nonetheless, but still menacing.

Willow Stream

Near the border between FalconClan and CloverClan, the Willow Stream is a beautiful stream, where willows drape over the water. Here you can relax, drink water, or if you can, fish. It is also a good place to hunt, as there are many a prey that come here for water.

Camp Clearing

The Camp Clearing is in the center of the FalconClan camp, with a small, broken tree trunk in the middle where the fresh-kill is kept (or the fresh-kill pile). The HighStone is also there, so cats gather there for the Clan Meetings as well.

Elder's Den

The Elder's Den is where the clan elders, or retired warriors, sleep. Elders are most known for their crankiness and grumpiness (especially towards apprentices), but the elders will always fight to the death for their clan, no matter how old they are. Located next to the Apprentice's Den and the Medicine Cat's Den, the Elder's Den is a small cave with a lichen curtain.

The Nursery

This is the Nursery, one of the most protected areas in the camp. The queens and the kits sleep and live here until the kits reach their 6th moon. Then the kits move to the Apprentice's Den and the queens move back to the Warrior's Den. It is large cave with a curtain of lichen and willow at the entrance, and there is plenty of space outside for the older kits to play.

Apprentice's Den

The Apprentice's is where Warrior Apprentice's sleep. It is right across from the Warrior's Den, and near the Camp Entrance, and is a cave between two small trees.

Warrior's Den

This is the Warrior's Den, where the deputy and warriors sleep. It is located on the left side of the Camp Entrance, so it is easier to defend the camp if intruders come. It is a rather large cave hidden behind bushes, right across the camp from the apprentice's den.

Medicine Cat's Den

This is the Medicine Cat's Den, where cats go to if they are ill or injured- or if they just need to talk to the Medicine Cat. It is a cave right between the Nursery and the Elder's Den, so it is easier for the Medicine Cat to treat elders and kits, who are more prone to sickness.

Leader's Den

Hello! Welcome to my den. It is located right behind the Highstone, where I give my meetings. Feel free to come and talk to me or ask questions/make requests.
