**CurrentClan** is one of the five Clans that occupies the valley. They're known for their strong aquatic abilities and strict nature.

### Clan Personality & Features

CurrentClan follows the code very closely and will take it upon themselves to enact justice if necessary. After a seer broke the Clan in two, the leaders of CurrentClan have made it against their personal code for cats to speak for the stars, with the punishment being death. Though CurrentClan has the largest territory and therefore the largest Clan population, they're still incredibly protective of what they have, possible due to SoundClan's attempted invasion of their home many moons ago. They're *very* open about their opinions and will make their voice heard at the gathering whenever they have grievances.

CurrentClan cats are large cats with sleek yet thick pelts which help keep them warm in the chilled water of the rivers. They tend to have larger, webbed paws which help them swim much easier, not unlike otters. Their pelts are usually shades of silver and gray with tortoiseshells being rather common. They share many similarities with SoundClan cats, as there's a chance they share a common ancestor.

### Territory

CurrentClan territory is a floodplain with scattered willows and alders sheltering them on the hotter days. The territory floods during the rainy season, but the Clan is well prepared. Apprentices are taught how to handle flooded waters and how to avoid drowning in them as one of their first lessons.

* **CurrentClan Camp** - CurrentClan camp is situated between two rivers. Shrubs and reeds surround the camp on all sides and the floor is dotted with pebbled smoothed by many years in the river's water.
* **Cloudburst Stream** - a stream similar in size to the Gutless Stream that acts as a border between CurrentClan and WealdClan.
* **Parched Poplar** - a tall poplar tree that sits at the top of a hill that once belonged to WealdClan. It's called the 'parched' poplar as it's spot on top of the hill makes it less likely to be disturbed during floods.
* **Canary River** - the river that branches off the main in the east. Named after the canary grass that once grew there before being taken down by twolegs. These reeds have been replaced with common rush.
* **River's Reach** - the northern most point of CurrentClan territory which is comprised of a marshy area caked in reeds. Cats don't commonly go up to this section due to the sticky mud and aggressive herons.
* **Highwater Hide** - a grove of trees atop of a hill that acts like a second camp during flood season.
* **Cattail River** - the river that branches off the main in the west. Named after the large number of cattail reeds found there.
* **Cattail Clearing** - a dry clearing near the border with SheerClan that is occasionally used to train apprentices.
* **Banked Pile** - a large pile of flat, rectangular stones that are similar to those found on the moor. Cats like to come to the stones to sun themselves.

### Camp

CurrentClan camp is a well-drained patch of land between two rivers. Shrubs and reed surround the camp on all sides, making it difficult to sneak in and out of the camp. Smooth stones and rocks are scattered across camp, the largest being the **Mossy Rock**, which is where the leader will call meetings.

* **Leader's den**- the leader's den is between the Mossy Rock and another, sheltered by the stones and the reed bed around camp. THe den is dug into the ground, starting its decent at the entrance of the den and stopping just before the reeds.
* **Healer's den**- the healer's den is in a small collection of bushes past a pair of stones, which act as an archway. The den is shaped in a dome with large openings allowing plenty of light into the den. A small garden is hidden near the back right of the den.
* **Warriors' den**- the warrior's den is made out of multiple hazel bushes as well as rush and reeds. Multiple extensions to the den have been made out of dead bushes covered in vines and blankets of reeds. Mud is packed around the base of the bushes to prevent them from washing away and bringing the den with them.
* **Apprentices' den**- the apprentice's den is in the back corner of camp surrounded by a dense wall of reeds. The den is made out of a pair of hazel bushes.
* **Nursery**- the Clan's nursery is behind the basking stones facing the nursery. The den is primarily made out of a hazel bush while previously damaged parts of the den have been replaced with woven reeds.
* **Elders' den**- the elders' den is in front of the basking stones facing the warrior's den. Part of the elder's den leans against one of the basking stones and is rarely repaired due to the stone being there. Similarly to the nursery, the old parts of the den have been replaced with woven reeds.

Due to their camp being part of a floodplain, flooding is a common occurrence. Mud walls will be build around the riverbank and sometimes around camp if waters begin to rise to slow the flooding temporarily, giving the Clan enough time to prepare in case evacuation is needed. The camp's large entrance makes evacuation easy and allows a large number of cats to exit at the same time.
