DawnClan

This is DawnClan!

Clan of the Dawn!

**-Brief History-**

DawnClan started not too long ago. Starving, born into poverty, Bug was birthed. Bug, from the moment he came into the world, felt like destiny had him in the palm of their paws. So when he was barely 5 moons old, when his mom had died of starvation, he set out. He fed himself on whatever morsels he could find. A scrap here, a scrap there. Then, he met Spark. Spark was his only friend. And when Bug died of a nasty wound by rat, Spark felt the destiny implant itself inside of himself. This went on for moons and moons, one cat dying after the next, each of them knowing everything from the previous cats and the cats before lives.

Then it reached Sunrise And his scrawny, barley clinging to life sister, Dawn.

And Sunrise knew that...thing would be his.

So he met Meadowclan one day.

And Meadowclan convinced them to be a clan, after they had gathered many cats, taking on warrior names. Sunrise became Sunrisestar, Dawn became Dawncloud, his deputy, and the others took on names as well. There were only eight in the beginning.

At first they were named Gladeclan, after, well, glades, but then there was the two leg attack.

They used gas to smoke out the moles living underneath them, but in the process wiped out half their clan. Dawn gave her life trying to save those last few clan members from camp who were left behind. Sunrise grieved for many, many moons, but in the end gave dawn one last tribute.

And he named them Dawnclan.

Since then, they have lived in prosperity with a fierce hate for two legs, and attack them on spot

**-Territory-**

Dawnclan lives in a hilly, rocky plains. They have many groves of birch, oak, and ash trees strewn about in small valleys, and their territory is a bit hard on the paws. It is a long passed Indian camp, with remnants of tepees and old tools along with two old fields for crops they call The Golden Growth, or for short, The Growth because wheat still grows there. There are native bushes, and the such. Most of it are shady, rocky hills with various plant matter.

Where the old Indian camp was, they call the Lost Meadow.

Their most important landmark is Sun Glade, which is a large glade where there is only short, short grass where the sunlight pours in. It has an unobstructed view of the horizon, and they go there to feel closer to their ancestors.

**-Camp-**

DawnClan camp is near the old Indian camp, and is bordered on one side by a sheer dirt and rock wall that curves into a hill on the other side, almost as if someone cut a hill in half. A large, very old oak tree hangs over the camp, providing much needed shelter from weather. The border of the camp is surrounded by a small rock wall made of gravel and bits of earth, and a bramble barrier the cats built. The ground consists of soft dirt and patches of grass and ferns.

When you walk into the camp, the entrance is made of two pieces of slate leaning against eachother. If you look straight ahead, the sheer wall is around 20 feet ahead. And at the base, the roots of the oak tree poke out and create a very large, complex root entangling that spreads over 1/2 of the back of camp. The leader makes their den there, shared partially by the queens.

On the right side of the wall, you can see a very large stump that has a wide hole at the base. The inside it rotten and hollow, and it is where most warriors sleep. If it ever become to crowded, the bushes around the base of the stump provide sufficient shelter as well.

To your left, at the entrance, you can clearly see a wide dip in the ground. And in the center, there is a big honeysuckle bush that spreads over it. This contains the medicine den.

To the right at the entrance, there is a series of smaller tree stumps, with large ferns among them, and a few bramble coils, where the apprentices sleep.

The nursery is also among the root entangling, but much more concealed and to the left of the leaders den. The roots are much more compact here, and warriors have woven sticks, thorns, pieces of greenery, and honeysuckle into it to make a pretty much impenetrable fortress.

The prey pile is beside the medicine den.
