SkyClan is the fifth clan, but they were forced to leave the forest due to the destruction of the Skyclan forest territory, after which SkyClan's land became the Twolegplace cats see now. Their current leader at that time, Cloudstar, appealed to the other Clan leaders at a Gathering and asked for them each to give up some of their territory for Skyclan. However, each clan gave reasons to refuse to let Skyclan stay, and in the end, the clan was driven out. Because of this, Cloudstar swore that Skyclan would never look to their warrior ancestors again.

Later, Skyclan was brought back by Firestar in Firestar's Quest, a journey in which the Thunderclan leader, Firestar, and his mate, Sandstorm, traveled to the gorge to bring back the clan.

The modern Skyclan is a clan of cats with strongly built hind legs which allow them to jump great heights or distances inherited from their ancestors, ancient Skyclan. They have rough, hard gray pads which help them to jump and walk long distances on hard, rough surfaces without breaking skin, which makes them infected. This feature allows them to climb and hunt in the trees, hence the name Skyclan. They are very powerful cats, who are a bit like ThunderClan, eating mainly squirrels, mice, voles, and many kinds of birds.

# The Stereotype

### **Physical**

*Skyclan cats tend to be brown, black or grey in color, and are usually tabby, bicolor or both. Their builds are light-weight and lean. Their fur is typically very soft and well-kept, regardless of length and texture. There is usually an even mix of long-haired and short-haired cats, but short-haired is a little more common.*

### **Philosophical**

*Skyclan cats are typically traditionalists, being much more aggressive about their opinions within the clans, and often coming off as ‘intolerant’ to change. It is because of this that they often keep to their own, and rarely engage in conflict beyond their own clan, however, they are not afraid to fight should another clan choose to violate their space or mindset.*

## **Landmarks**

1. **Flower Patch**
	* *A vast flowerbed by the riverside. It is a good hunting site, and only a few Twolegs wander through there year-round.*
2. **Ship Graveyard**
	* *Various vessels from the sea have been dragged here by the current. Beavers currently reside here.*
3. **The Deep Plunge**
	* *A seemingly bottomless lake. Skyclan cats aren't exactly known for their swimming abilities, so there may very well be an end to its depths, but from the shore the waters are dark.*
4. **Twoleg Hunting Grounds**
	* *Every leaf-fall, Twolegs wander into these woods with bows to hunt deer and other things of the sort.*
5. **Weeping Willow**
	* *A beautiful willow tree in the heart of Skyclan territory. It is a very popular place for queens to take their kits when they're older.*

## **Borders**

1. **Riverclan Border**
	* *where the forest opens up to the beaches over riverclan territory is where skyclan's territory begins. the scent markers begin at the treeline, which is bordered by two different bodies of water.*
2. **Thunderclan Border**
	* *a river that leads from the stepping stones to the gathering island and into the forest marks the border between skyclan and thunderclan. the river itself acts as the marker.*

# The Laws

In Warriors: Look Beyond, much like humans today, our leaders also have their own thoughts and opinions. For this reason, we allow our leaders to decide whether or not they and their clan follow the warrior code to a t. Below are a list of general things talked about in the warrior code, and how the clan's leader feels about it:

##### **Cross-Clan Relationships:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"Who am I to deny love. I have loved before, and it was a wonderful feeling... Should a cat find love in another clan I will not stop them from seeking it even if it means I must welcome their love, or bid them farewell. However, it must be said that if you or your love is not willing to leave their clan to pursue it then it must stop."*

##### **Medicine Cats & Mates:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"So our medicine cat wishes to take a mate? I see no problem with this so long as their apprentice is almost if not fully trained. Of course they must still do their duties, but love will come and when it does it should be embraced."*

##### **Medicine Cats & Kits:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"Kits are sometimes a consequence of love. Like I mentioned if their apprentice can serve their clan effectively then who am I to stop you from having kits of your own."*

##### **Eating While Hunting:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"I understand that when you are hungry you may not wish to bring all of your prey back to camp. However, I must urge you to only do this when prey is plentiful."*

##### **Giving Food To Another Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"Skyclan can't always afford to give, but when we can we will. We cannot give from an empty pile."*

##### **Housing Another Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"Skyclan owes many thanks to the clans that helped us after the fire. Should anything come to happen to them we will offer them shelter, however, They will need to pull their weight. Skyclan cannot afford an entire clan's worth of dead weight."*

##### **Housing Another Cat:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"One cat will be no problem for Skyclan to assist, however, like I have mentioned they must pull their weight. That is the standard that has been set, and that is what must be continued for Skyclan to remain strong."*

##### **Allowing Kittypets Into The Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"We will take kittypets so long as they are willing to learn our ways and pull their weight. Should they decide they will not... they will be forced to return to their soft lifestyle and not allowed to come back."*

##### **Allowing Loners Into The Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"As I'm sure I've made clear Skyclan will take in others who are willing to learn and pull their weight."*

##### **Allowing Rogues Into The Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"Like with loners I will accept them, however, they must control themselves. Their violence will not be tolerated and should they slip up they will be made to leave."*

##### **Allowing Ex-Clan Cats Into The Clan:**

* Allowed: circumstantial
	+ *"It depends on the reason they left. I will not say no immediately, but I will seek to understand why they were made to leave. If I find that they have done anything Skyclan deems unacceptable then they will be turned away."*
