[align=center]LIGHTNINGCLAN

[color=black][size=10pt][font=arial]LightningClan, or StormClan as it was originally named, is a ruby fanclan with over 50,000 posts that was started back in 2011 by Faux. For almost a full year it was the most active pseudoclan on the site, accumulating around forty thousand posts on one thread, but then died out. Since then it has gone through multiple reboots, with on-and-off activity, but is once more attempting to get back on its feet.

HISTORY The history of LightningClan is actually quite rich, and can be traced back to a clan called FlameClan. In this clan, there were two cats by the names of Darkfire and Flameflare; the two were great friends and did nearly everything together. However, one day the leader, Briarstar, decided that due to the lack of kits each cat should be assigned a mate. Darkfire and Flameflare both thought this was outrageous and should not be allowed, and so gathered all the opposing cats in the Clan and decided something should be done. So, together, they ran off with a few others and created a Clan of their own, one that was fair and allowed cats to be with whoever they please. And so, LightningClan was born. Darkfire became Darkstar and led the clan with Flameflare as his deputy for many moons in peace with the other clans, as the golden age in the history of LightningClan.

But like all good things this did not last forever and LightningClan fell inactive. Many rose to power and tried to start it up once more, however it failed each time. An old leader, Roman, has taken the lead once more in the beginning of a new age. One with renewed strength and the ability to endure as we always have, re-writing LightningClan's history to become the great clan it once was as we speak.

TERRITORY LightningClan as switched territories multiple times, but they have currently settled high in the mountains, similar to those of the huangshan peaks in China. This range of mountains is incredibly beautiful and equally mysterious, almost always covered in a layer of mist. It storms often here, with rain often and thunderstorms also common, as their name sort of suggests. There is plenty of trees and growth up on the mountains, home to lots of prey.

Deep inside the mountains, LightningClan makes its home inside a tunnel system, connecting large caves through bridges and pathways like these. Most of the clan lives together, making their nests in one of the bigger caves, however members are free to wander about and claim places to sleep as they please. Their home is a treacherous one, yes, forcing the LightningClans to be agile and stick to the paths. Survival of the fittest, yes?

INTRODUCTION  SunClan is a beach-dwelling ProClan with a reputation for being loud and full of life, known for their creativity and parties and close ties with those they consider friends — but be wary of your step, for once provoked they can be deadly.

[color=darkorange]TERRITORY  SunClan now resides in a small, colorful BEACH TOWN at the southern edges of a TROPICAL MOUNTAIN RANGE. The town itself is nestled quaintly onto the edge of a rocky outcrop that fades into beach the further one walks. Meetings are often held in an old marketplace/town square with a fountain in the center and members tend to take up residence in the bright buildings that line the streets of the village, though they are free to choose where they would like to sleep, be it one of the houses or elsewhere. After all, there's lots to explore here! The town is also home to a large CANAL, which then flows out to the ocean OVER THE CLIFFSIDE. Following the canal back into the territory, it is part of a river that winds back to the mountains and into a LAKE WITH MULTIPLE WATERFALLS, though the falls are taller than the image and below a rocky outcrop of the mountain. One of these waterfalls, when the sun is just right at dawn and dusk, lights up orange, and is often called the SUN FALLS. From atop the outcrop above the waterfalls and lake it is possible to see most of the territory and the town in the distance, which is why it has been dubbed SUNCLAN OUTLOOK.

Back to the south and the town, SunClan's cliff is known to have EXTREME TIDES. And when the tide goes out twice a day, it exposes MYSTERIOUS CRYSTAL CAVES below the town. However, these can only be reached at low tide, and staying inside too long can cause animals to drown as they flood once more. Futher along the shore the cliffside transitions into a long stretch of BEACH, with many CAVES and COVES. One cave specifically has an isolated pool within and a hole in the top that illuminates the water below at midday. This is called the SUNPOOL, and has special capabilities, allowing SunClan to contact Helios and ancestors. Deeper within the territory, the mountains are home to various other treasures. In the middle of the tropical range, there is an odd, gaping hole that leads down to a STRANGE, MOSSY ABYSS that is equally dangerous and beautiful. There is another hole in the mountains, though this is more of a HIDDEN UNDERGROUND POOL, embellished with vines and mossy cave walls. While astounding in beauty, be careful, for once in it's difficult to get out!

Sunhaven makes their home in a small, floating seatown along the beach at the edge of a mountain range.  Click each underlined word for a visual reference!

The Town  The floating seatown is a wide array of little, buoyant houses and shops connected by a vast stretch of boardwalk.  Though they may bob and sway gently on the waves below, the structures are connected to the ocean floor below and are sturdy enough to withstand the worst of weather.  Most of the buildings are very colorful and are frequently painted over with murals by Sunhaveners, but each varies widely in both function and layout.  Albeit somewhat small and quaint and certainly unconventional, their camp contains most buildings that can be found in any typical town.  Landmarks in the town include the library, the art cafe, and the fountain.

town landmarks:

The Library  The library, like most places in the town, is small but chock-full of books nonetheless.  It is only one room with two stories, though each is stacked to the ceiling with books and equipped with ladders to reach those at the very top and both floors are connected by a single, winding staircase.  The very top is a dome with stained glass, lined below with murals, while down below there are desks and comfy chairs for relaxing and reading in.

The Art Cafe  The art cafe is a cozy little coffee shop that also doubles as an art gallery.  Hung on all the walls are paintings and drawings, and a space in the corner has been cleared for live performances.  Attached is a small art studio where painting classes were once taught, and where supplies can now be found.  This currently serves as the headquarters for the art guild.

The Fountain  At the entrance of the sea town is a large space of boardwalk left wide open for Sunhaveners to mingle, and at its very middle lies the fountain.  Still mostly in working order, the fountain's three tiers each have crumbling statues and glittering at the very bottom are coins that have been thrown in.  Here is where meetings are held and important announcements are made, often with the leader standing on the bottom lip so as not to get too wet!

The Beach  Where the mountains meet the sea lies the beach, the section of Sunhaven's territory that acts as about three-fourths of their border (the other quarter, of course, being deep within the mountains).  Here there are many caves and coves, rife with mystery for the curious explorer.  Landmarks on the beach include the wharf, the warship, the greenhouse, the statues, and the grotto.

beach landmarks:

The Wharf  Situated just next to the floating town is the wharf where old boats are docked.  Similar to the town itself it's relatively small, but there's lots to find within the anchored ships!  At the edge of the wharf is also a pier, along with an old fishing store.

The Warship  At the edge of the pier is a beached warship.  The vessel is somewhat sunken, with one end submerged below the water, but most of the interior is still accessible.  Some sections are rusted and the ship itself no longer functions.  This currently serves as the headquarters for the warfare guild.

The Greenhouse  Situated on the beach but still a safe distance from the shore to not be washed away is the greenhouse.  Inside there are raised beds, pots, and hanging plants aplenty.  Many are herbs or other useful plants, but others just exist to look pretty!  In the back is a small closet filled with gardening supplies, and attached at the ocean is a floating garden.  This currently serves as the headquarters for the medicine guild.

The Statues  Dotted along the beach are various mysterious statues.  No one knows how long they've been there or who made them, but they are certainly interesting fixtures of the territory and perfectly suiting for such an artsy group.  Creative members of Sunhaven are encouraged to expand this statue collection by adding their own!

The Grotto  At one of the furthest edges of the beach along the treeline lies a natural grotto with multiple openings to a pool below.  It's not a long drop and much of the water below is shallow, but smaller members be warned that it can prove difficult to escape!

The Mountains  Sunhaven's mountain range is relatively shallow and springs forth with life due to its typically-warm climate.  Though not tropical by any means, most of the summits are not tall enough to be cold year-round.  The environment is a mix, dotted with forests and bushy expanses, though each colored with a wide variety of flora and fauna; additionally, nestled between the peaks meadows are often found.  Landmarks in the mountains include the peak, the orchard, the fjord, and the lake.

mountains landmarks:

The Peak  A winding staircase leads all the way from the town up the mountains to the highest point in all of Sunhaven's territory, the only mountain to ever be capped with snow: the peak.  Here, where they are closest to the sun, is a pyre where ceremonial burnings are held so that the smoke may reach the heavens.

The Orchard  Deep within the mountains is an abandoned orchard, whose buildings are decrepit and overgrown but whose array of fruit-bearing trees continue to grow produce each year.  Additionally, its nearby fields grow berries and flowers.

The Fjord  Flowing in from the sea is a river which cuts through the mountains to form a deep inlet of cliffs, creating a fjord.  Along this waterway is an overlook formed naturally by rocks, allowing Sunhaveners to get a lay of the ravine below.

The Lake  In the very heart of Sunhaven's mountains lies a lake into which the fjord flows, down over a waterfall.  Here the water is tranquil and serene considering the thinness of the waterfall, but it's deep enough to get non-swimmers in troubles should they decide to take a dip; the particularly brave of heart have even been known to cannonball off the cliffside above!
