SeaClan

## About SeaClan

### Origins

SeaClan was a Clan comprised of Seawatcher/Seastar, the creator, and his followers. Seastar was a runaway from the original Clans (he belonged to RiverClan), because stemming from his forbidden relationship, he believed the "traditional" ways of the four Clans were unfair. So, he set off to start his own. Moons and moons of traveling later, Seastar finally found a beautiful beachside territory that was perfect for his new Clan. A grassy clearing with plenty of palm trees, which resided right by a pretty dense forest, and on the other side, an abandoned Two-leg village. Everything was perfect. Over time, more and more cats were born, and some other cats joined from outside SeaClan, and it just grew from there.

### Territory

SeaClan's territory is a grassy clearing at the edge of The Great Isles. To get to SeaClan's territory, you must go from the urban Two-leg cities, to the rural villages in the outskirts of the town, to a dense forest filled with trees, and then finally to the clearing before the beach that SeaClan resides in. There are many palm trees, boulders, and the grass is usually short. They say the sunset in SeaClan's area is to die for.

### Prey and Predators

Prey usually caught in SeaClan consists of:

* Rabbits. They reside in warrens close to the forest.
* Water voles. They're deeper in the forest, near the ponds.
* Shrews. They're usually near the rabbits.
* Harvest mice. The harvest mice are either found in Sunset Meadow or farther in the forest.
* Squirrels. They're up in the trees, deeper in the forest.
* Seagulls. If you're fast enough, you can catch the ones perching on the shore.
* Pelicans. Rarely, you can find a pelican perched on the shore, taking a break from fishing in the ocean.
* Crabs. Most days, you can find crabs on the shore. All you have to do to kill them is slam your paw down onto them, breaking their hard outer shell. The salty, tender meat is a treat for the cats.

Predators usually found near SeaClan consists of:

* Foxes. Foxes are usually near Sunset Meadow or the forest, catching the rodents there, so beware.
* Dogs. Sometimes the Two-legs lose their dogs and they run wild. Rarely, you can find wild/feral dogs in packs.
* Badgers. They're usually in the same places that foxes are.
* Snakes. They usually reside in either Sunset Meadow or the forest, and some have deadly venom.

### Dens

The leader's den is a large, somehow hollow boulder with moss and lichen draping over it and partly covering the entrance. It's not very big inside and can only fit about two or three cats. Beside the boulder is two smaller boulders that help a cat to get up onto the top of the rock, which also have lichen and moss on them. There is a pathway molded into the lichen from all the leaders stepping onto it. The leaders den also doubles as the announcement rock, which is called the Sandrock. It's like their version of the Highledge/Highrock. The leader's den is also believed to have been hollow from the roots of the medicine den carving into it.

The medicine den is one of the hibiscus bushes, which leans against the Sandrock and grows on it. There are roots carving into the large boulder and cracking it. The medicine den is said to smell very sweet, from the scent of the nectar coming from the hibiscus flowers as well as the herbs. There are branches jutting out inside the den, with leaves growing onto them, making a sturdy shelf for some herbs. There is also a split between the branches at the very bottom of the den, forming a crack above the ground where other herbs can also be stored. The medicine den is also said to be noisy at time, due to being located right next to the apprentice's den.

The warrior's den is another boulder that is very large, so big that it's bigger than Sandrock. Since there is so many warriors, moss lines the floor instead of there being individual nests.

The apprentice's den is another hibiscus bush that smells sweet as well. It's spacious inside but not very stable due to it's only hold being its own branches and the ground.

The nursery is a small but stable den built out of parts of rotting bushes and flowers as well as branches. It's faintly sweet-smelling from the milky scent of the queens and the flowers lining the nests as well as the flowers decorating the outside.

The elder's den was once a rock alike the warrior's den, but it was crushed by a falling palm tree and soon that palm tree began to rot and hollow inside, so it became the new elder's den. It's small and narrow but fits a few cats. It's said that it smells odd in there.

### Traditions

#### Marriage

Marriage is a celebration of love in SeaClan. Whenever cats are mates, it's pretty much dating for them, but they can decide if they want to break up, stay dating, or marry. If you want to get married, you and your partner need to inform the leader, so the ceremony can be beheld. There are two of each of the celebratory, traditional accessories for weddings, in case it's a WLW, MLM, or just an LGBTQ+ wedding in general. The masculine cat wears a hibiscus wreath around their neck, and the feminine cat wears a cobweb veil with a lavender and white shell and flower crown as its base. Both partners can choose to have the standard golden marriage rings, but they can ask to have something custom-made as well.

#### Decoration

SeaClan cats are known to decorate their camp and themselves. Mostly, they use flowers, shells, leaves, wings of insects, or predator and prey pelts. Of course, other things can be used, but you'd most likely have to ask Shiba.

#### Leader marks/Mud marks

The leaders wear mud marks - which they get after their StarClan leader ceremony. After they wake up from their dream, they go back to SeaClan and get their mud markings, which can be markings of any type - they just have to be made of mud, and smeared on the leader's pelt. It usually means something about them.

#### The Harvest Festival

Every leaf-fall, they have the Harvest Festival, which celebrates when Seastar became friends with the Trinket Square cats. They usually hold a feast, sell items, chat, hold contests and games, and lastly, a dance.
