RiverClan

RiverClan is a group of forest cats, which used to be named CarrionClan. They reside in an often damp wetland with lakes, ponds and streams surrounding their camp and clearing. Due to their past, RiverClan cats are easily distinguished by sleek fur and thick tails, as well as broad shoulders. They smell of a bitter algae, soil and salmon.
== Description ==
:RiverClan was a Clan, initially named CarrionClan, made by Lionstar. During leafbare, due to the rivers freezing up, the clan learnt how to swim and skid through ice more easily and safely. Their main prey source are fish, mice and birds. They mostly prefer fish however. They have an alliance with ThunderClan due to the relationship between Blackstar and Moonstar, despite their toxic history with each other during Thornstar's and Snowstar's reign.
:It is said to have a dark past, due to Lionstar's evil reign when the clan began. Froststar wasn't innocent himself due to this, having to be brutal himself in order to keep the title of deputy. Eventually, Lionstar was poisoned and killed by Feathertail and Froststar attempted to start a new beginning for the forest, executing all of his followers. RiverClan cats are designed to be used to the cold. Their eyesight is particularly good with looking through blizzards and snowstorms. They are often taller than most cats, and sometimes have webbed paws due to their river territory. This has evolved to RiverClan cats gaining naturally thick fur.
:They are known for their love of water and amazing skills at catching fish. They have a very large and important community, with the Clan feeling like siblings and friends. Usually, they have kits learn how to catch fish in the streams by their parents.
==Territories==
=== The forest territories ===
:The RiverClan forest territory is located in what Twoleg call Morgan Farm's Campsite and the River Chell. The whole camp is surrounded by reeds. In the central area, the cats lie and share tongues in the sun. In the tangle of one of the reeds, there is the warrior's den. It is also right next to the nursery. On the roof of the den, cats have woven in sparkling rocks and shells from the river. The light dances on them, making beautiful reflections. The river comes up very close to the nursery. The walls are built very thickly to prevent the nursery from floating away in a flood. The nursery is also close to the river so the kits can practice getting wet and sometimes swimming, helping them for when they become apprentices. Across the central clearing, the elder's den, leader's den, apprentice's den, and the medicine's den dwell. They are all in a tangle of reeds covered by a hard reedy roof.
=== The lake territories ===
=== The mountain territories ===
:They lived in a territory surrounded by water, streams and lakes. It was the coldest territory, which earned their name as RiverClan as snow would mostly fall in their territory. The clan is quite used to trespassing, as they had a long fued with ThunderClan due to the Sunfall.
:The sunfall is a small piece of land between RiverClan's and ThunderClan's territory, where they constantly fought over who owned it. At the end, the piece of land was abandoned. They lived by the gorge, which is the border that seperated WindClan and RiverClan, with a small bridge across it to walk through.
:Their Camp is open, with occasional trees scattered around the camp. It is very close to the river where the Sunfall is, the nursery and medicine den close by the entrance, a tunnel covered by a tree. There is a wide, small rock at the edge of camp, known as the "Snow Rock" where announcements are made by the leaders. The rock leads into the Leader's den, engraved inside of the rock.
