Tribe of the shadowed seas

**TRIBE OF THE**

**SHADOWED SEAS**

"Water is the driving force of all nature."

 Realm | Neutral

The tribe of the Shadowed Seas is a group of domestic felines founded by Mother Tara. The group is highly religious, dwelling around the ideas of spiritual mentors. Each cat has their own mentor, who guides them in all their choices. The tribe lives by the sea in a valley. They don't communicate much with other species or even other cats in general.

**BACKGROUND**

Here in the tribe, the cats have very small to medium size frames. Their pelts are more natural and neutral colors, and it is rare to have bright colors such as cream or ginger.  They have broad shoulders and slim bodies. Tribe cats fur is usually short which is perfect for swimming and rain.
***These are highly important if joining. If you don't read these, you will be declined and told to change the appearance.***
Religion is taken very seriously among the tribe. They follow two sides, the Wavelands (Starclan) and the Sunken Ships (the Dark Forest). Every cat has their spiritual mentor which they choose once they leave the greenhorn stage. The mentors are a vital part. They provide their certain traits to their greenhorns, whether they are from the Wavelands or the Sunken Ships. However, some mentors only choose one greenhorn to focus on, such as Tara, Owl, and Dandelion. Others will train those they want, ranging from 2-4.

**REGULATIONS**
