Welcome to the Southlands!
Perhaps some of the most diverse and large cat-scented lands, the Southlands are located in—well—the south! This is only in contrast with other cat-settled lands, as the Southlands are in something like a temperate climate; both heavy snowfall and blistering heat waves are not uncommon. Then again, it all depends on where you choose to live...
GrassClan cats live on the open fields, enjoying the open air and windswept grass upon gently rolling hills. Fast and agile, these cats are kindly and reluctant to fight. This area tends to be dry, but the nutritious soil provides ground for many useful shrubs.
ForestClan cats live in a dense jungle of sorts. Trees create a thick canopy over everything, making the forest floor dark and damp. It rains often; a multitude of plants and large flowers grow within this area. A set of small mountains to the south are the only change in climate. These cats are hunters of the night, and terribly protective of their pride. ForestClan appears to have a very diverse set of cats.
DesertClan is surrounded by mountains, the borders further protected by a wide river. Both rolling hills of burning sand and bare patches of bedrock, spotted with clumps of dead grass, cover this terrain—mirages and sand traps halt any intruders. Like the land itself, the cats here are hardened to fit their climate; they have fragile tempers and have a lust for land and power. DesertClan is often the center of most conflicts.
MountainClan used to cover almost half of the Southlands, as they owned that small stretch of small, snow-capped hills across ForestClan. However, they have just recently been “reclaimed”; MountainClan has not changed, and is still the largest Clan in these lands. Strong and burly, these cats are masters of the cold. They laugh at blizzards and charge through snowdrifts in search of camouflaged prey. Much like DesertClan, MountainClan cats are prideful and easily insulted, though these felines show more of a playful side than anything else.
MoonClan holds all of the deceased cats; they roam the sky in a single, un-ranked Clan, able to foresee the future and tell it to special creatures on the earth below. An odd shrub that always blooms with berries grows in the lands directly north of GrassClan. Eating the berries allows cats to go into a trance, in which they can communicate with their ancestors.
Kittypets live past the giant Thunderpath in the southeast corner of MountainClan, behind the giant Redstone barrier that helps keep out the noise of the passing Twoleg monsters. The few Kittypets that manage to escape this wall rarely survive the trip around MountainClan to other areas. So many odd things lie outside the Clans—the vast sundown place is in the north, huge, rumbling mountains lie to the west, and barren shrublands devoid of water cover the south. Loners and Rouges are few in all of these lands; Kittypets appear to have the majority...
A massive power struggle is shifting. Whoever controls that spit of mountains by ForestClan controls the entire western portion of the Southlands—ForestClan appears unable to keep it protected, and DesertClan is leaping in to take it away. MountainClan lies in the distance, waiting to reclaim its land; GrassClan is trying to keep their noses out of this. But will their new, young Leader drag his own weakened Clan into the fighting in his attempt to help?
Who’s side will you be on?
