FallClan's territory isn't always laced with Fall. Though its main season, which stretches far longer than the rest, remains to be so. You also get to experience the lovely changing of weather with Spring, Summer, and usually much longer those is Winter. Each season is cherished, with ceremonies and festivals celebrating the endless circle of life. Richly populated with towering trees, though none in comparison to the Great Oak or the Tree of Wisdom. Here you will be able to see, and know, about the popular places that FallClan has come to recognize and call its home as well as a decription of the ranks within the clan and their ceremonies and festivals.
Fallclan Ranks
Leader The word of the Clan leader is law, proclaimed by the warrior code, and all other Clan cats must obey them. They have their own den, and are assisted by a deputy in their tasks. They are responsible for the whole Clan, calling Clan meetings, appointing cats to new ranks, and making the toughest decisions.
Deputy A deputy is a warrior who is second in command to the leader, aiding him/her in their tasks and replacing them immediately after their death or retirement.
The medicine cat Medicine cats are Clan cats who treat diseases and injuries, and who receive directions and guidance from StarClan. They have their own den in their Clan's camp, where they sleep, store herbs, and treat wounded or sick cats. Medicine cats are not allowed to take mates or have kits.
Medicine cat apprentice They are introduced to StarClan as a medicine cat apprentice at the first half moon after they gain apprenticeship. They earn their name at the Moon Creek after successfully completing their training, assuming full responsibilities even while their mentor is still alive.
The arulent "The Golden" The Aurulent are an elite group of warriors within Fallclan. Unlike the rest of the warriors who are split into three chambers according to their strengths, the Aurulent excel in all areas above all others in the clan. The leader and deputy are, of course within this category. The Aurulent translates loosely to "The Golden", a proper term for cats that are praised so highly. It is a grand honor to be chosen as an Aurulent as they serve as a sort of council to the leader and deputy and are the first cats into combat or sent to protect the clan. They are given the most dangerous, terrifying missions and although rare, would be the first to kill if it came down to it. The Aurulent are considered next in line for deputy, although not all are auited for the position. Once a warrior becomes and Aurulent they are thrown a party and the clan hosts and Aurulent parade.
Elders Elders are to be held with the utmost respect from cats of all Clans. They have served the Clan well in the past as apprentices and warriors. During their youth, they took care of the elders of their generation. They are looked after by apprentices.
Hunter/fighter/defender In Fallclan warriors are celebrated for their greatest strengths and achievements. That being said, they are split into three groups. One group is not more treasured than the other and although cats are required to learn each skill their main focus is the category they are most good at. As an apprentice you are trained by a warrior with the same strength so you may perfect it.
Hunter || Hunters are warriors who excel in hunting and providing, they are specially trained to be silent in the forest and are skilled trackers. They are also very skilled climbers and tree hunters.
Fighter || Fighters are lithe but strong, with sharp claws and even sharper teeth. They are warriors who excel in battle and fighting, the ones who will be first to battle after the Aurulent.
Defender || Defenders are trained in many defensive and fighting techniques, they are warriors often left behind to protect the camp and all inside when a fight or war is taking place. They are well muscled and skilled at creating barriers to better fortify the camp.
Apprentices Apprentices are Clan cats six moons or older, training to be a warrior. Apprentices are trained by warriors who have the same skill strength as them, meaning Hunter/Fighter/Defender. An apprentice becomes a warrior once their mentor and Clan leader thinks they have learned enough or proved they are worthy of receiving their full name.
Queens A queen is a she-cat that is expecting or has recently given birth to a litter of kits. Though known to be overly-protective of kits, queens usually are compassionate and kind, and in many cases they have been known to convince their mates or Clan leaders to take in cats in need of help.
Kits A kit is a cat under the age of six moons who is still living in the nursery with their mother and littermates. Kits are usually very mischievous and energetic, and are known to bother warriors and elders.
Haflings The "Halflings", or kits in the Half Kit Stage, are between three and six moons. When kits are promoted to this stage they will participate in small group training led by the nursery aids in the clan. They will begin learning the basics of hunting, fighting, and defending which helps them to focus more on their specific skill set once becoming an apprentice though they will learn it all, it may even help them to train hard enough to become an Aurulent in the future.
Nursery aids The nursery aids in FallClan are cats who do not wish to be a hunter, fighter or defender and while they are still given training in such things their main job is looking after the kits in the clan. Nursery aids help new or existing queens to care for their young and give them a much needed break when they are feeling overwhelmed, they are also charged with the small group training of the haflings.

Clan ceremonies and festivals
THE DAY OF THE DEAD [ held in spring ] After experiencing many deaths cuased by a past medicine cat apprentice Rainpaw who began killing his patients, Fallclan decided to honor all those who died in his care by holding a grand festival where those who are old enough travel to the Burial grounds to be closer to the ones who have left them and joined Starclan. It is often said that during this time the Starclan cats can be seen, offering words of comfort and compassion to those they were close with while alive. It is still unknown fully by the other clans if this it true because a vow of silence was set into place, making it so no Fallclan cat who participates in the festival can share it with those outside their home.
CELEBRATION OF LIGHTS [ held in summer ] In an attempt to light up the world with brightness, Fallclan began holding the celebration of lights. The night before the celebration is spent preparing and gathering hundreds of fireflies that will be used to decorate the camp. The night of, a grand feast is held and every cat is welcome to join in a set of cames and contests if they wish. This celebration is a reminder to themselves that they never fall into darkness.
PARADE OF THE AURULENT [ held for new aurulents ] Warriors work their entire lives for the opprotunity to become one of the Aurulent, it is a position earned by those who show the most promise and loyalty and while not many get the chance those that do are celebrated. New Aurulents are decorated in gold and parade through Fallclan territory surrounded by their clanmates, feeling as though they are on top of the world.
THE SOULBINDING CEREMONY The soulbinding ceremony is held by the leader or medicine cat at the request of two cats who wish to be announced as mates. The cats will be requested to weave together a necklace of flowers, which they will give to their decided officiator, the necklace will then be placed around both of their necks, "binding" them together. They will then celebrate their love alongside their clanmates with a feast and a day filled with love and fun, once the day is done the couple will spend the night alone together in their desired spot in the territory. Popular places chosen are the scenic outlook, the firefly meadow, the flower feild, and the waterfall though any place can be chosen. (To have a ceremony help simply message the leader or medicine cat and a thread will be posted for you and the whole clan to roleplay in. You will be in charge of creating a thread for the time your cats will spend alone.)
Medicine cat Pilon A Pilon, or soul stone, is a blessed stone collected from the Great Waterfall in FallClan. StarClan will guide the new medicine cat apprentice towards their destined Pilon. However, an untrained cat will be sucked into the Pilon and pulled into StarClan. It is there that the current medicine cat will bless their apprentice's stone with a bit of their soul, and StarClan will follow suit. Afterwards, the apprentice will then have control over their Pilon, allowing them to touch the stone freely without being teleported to StarClan. Other cats must not touch a medicine cat's Pilon, as they cannot return from StarClan once teleported. From then on, the medicine cats may use their Pilons to contact StarClan immediately rather than having to make the trek all the way to Moon Creek. But beware - a Pilon can only act as a bridge between worlds for so long. After too much time has elapsed, the bond will snap, leaving the medicine cat's soul in StarClan forever. When that happens - a medicine cat's death - their Pilon will turn black regardless of what color is was and lose all its power. It is then up to the apprentice, now medicine cat, to return the Pilon to Moon Creek where it dissolves and releases all the souls within.

Fallclan camp
The Main Entrance There are two entrances to Fallclan's camp, the main entrance and the mountain entrance. The main entrance is distinguished by two bramble archways that were built when FallClan first moved to the new camp. A single cat normally stands guard by this entrance, keeping vigilant for intruders and large mountain predators. FallClan doesn't have to worry about wolves or bears as often as some would think, but with a camp that is guarded by surrounding mountains, it makes it much harder for these animals to sneak up on the clan. The more treacherous mountain entry point is a much harder path to take that only experienced warriors and apprentices use, keeping most non Mountain Clans from using it when visiting the peaceful clan.
Leader's Den The place where all leaders sleep, and where all close meetings with the deputy and medicine cat are held, this small hollow has enough room to fit at least five cats inside it at once. All leaders of FallClan call all of their meetings from on top of this moss covered rock. As said above, the tree above is named the Tree of Wisdom for its old and knowing appearance. When calling the meeting, most leaders normally yowl: "Will all cats old enough to climb gather below the tree of wisdom for a clan meeting?"
Medicine Cat's Den The Medicine Cat's Den looks small from the entrance, but in reality it opens up into a much larger cavern. Directly in front of the entrance is a small hollow that is the location of the Medicine Cat's nest. The den is located near the entrance to the camp so that injured cats don't have to walk too far into the larger clearing to get treated. The herbs are hidden on natural cubbies tucked away along the main cavern back to where the Medicine Cat Apprentice sleeps. The shelves are about as tall as an apprentice is, keeping kits from getting into them when they are in the den. There is a pool of water near the entrance of the cave that flows down a small waterfall into the cavern. During hot summer months, the pool disappears. As you can see from the picture, there are a lot of places to store herbs and other important goods. The picture depicts inside the cavern not the entrance. The nests are often scattered about to make sure that all injured and sick cats have room to move around freely. What isn't commonly known is that there are two small cubbies above the Medicine Cat's nests to conceal their Pilon, each cubby covered by a moss curtain.
Warrior's Den On of the larger dens in FallClan's Camp, the Warrior's Den, is set up in three levels: Newer, less experience warriors sleep closest to the entrance on the ground level where as more experienced warriors get a nest on one of the many ledges of the cavern. Senior warriors sleep on a flat shelf at the very back of the den; it is one of the more roomy parts of the cave, since there are more warriors than senior warriors. The Warrior's Den is located to the left of the Main Entrance so that in case of attack, the warriors are the first ones to the battle. This also helps defend the rest of the camp, even though there are only two entrances. It's better to have the formidable fighters up in the front lines compared to that of the younger apprentices. They protect and guard the camp well because of the location of their den.
Apprentice's Den The Apprentice's Den is slightly smaller than the Warrior’s Den. However, this den, unlike the Warrior’s Den, is well spaced out for the apprentices, giving them plenty of room to sleep. Its low ceiling is great for the younger cats, and once they start getting too big to enter the den and sleep comfortably, the leader begins to set up assessments for them. Most apprentices won’t move up until they are a year old, but some get promoted earlier at 10 or 11 moons old. The inside of the entrance to the den is guarded by a large bramble thicket that some of the apprentices prefer to sleep in compared to the cave, though it is not depicted in the picture. The nests are made from moss gathered from around the territory.
Nursery The Nursery is the safest place in all of FallClan's camp due to its optimal location. With its high protective walls, location at the back of the camp and shelter from the cold, this place is perfect for raising kits. Queens sleep in the back of the rocky cavern and watch their kits play from the wide open entrance. There is also a hidden exit by this part of the camp that helps the mothers escape in emergencies such as a fire or even an attack on the camp. The nests are lined with the softest mosses and squirrel tail fur to ensure that all of the nursing and soon-to-be mothers are nice and comfortable in the large cave. There is plenty of room for young members of the clan to run around and play during the cold months of Leaf-Bare.
The Elder's Den The Elder’s Den is located to the right of the Nursery away from the view of predators. The location is perfect for older cats because it's right next to where the fresh kill is stored, so if an apprentice forgets their job, they can easily walk out and get their food. The den is the smallest den in all of FallClan's camp, but only because FallClan normally does not have that many elders at one time. If the den needs to be expanded, there is another cavern hidden on the other side of camp, which is much larger and located near the Medicine Cat's Den.

Fallclan territory
The waterfall Located at the edge of Fallclans territory the waterfall is the clans main source of fresh water and is often used by the medicine cat to gather moss and water for their patients. The water flows out into a few streams within Fallclans territory, some of which snake around many important places, it then moves towards a large lake that can be found at the opposite end of the clans home. Medicine cats and their apprentices come here to collect their sacred Pilon or Soul stone.
Crystal caves Fallclans mountain sides are riddled with hidden cave. Not many cats venture near these unknown caverns, but those that dare to enter often face one of Fallclans few known enemies, Renegade Regime. Though the two groups have gotten over past battles some grudges still remain. These caves are filled withh all sorts of colorful and rare gems, admired by those brave enough to venture far enough inside.
The ravine The ravine is a large area where the mountainous territory of Fallclan splits in two. Concealed within the rocky walls are many snakes and while most of them are not poisonous many cats avoid hunting here because of them. The ravine is very close to Fallclans camp and most cats must pass though it while on their way to patrol the clans shared border with Springclan which is to the south os Fallclans territory. This area is frequented by twoleg hikers so you must be careful when traveling through.
Fallclan camp Strategically placed in the most protective part of FallClan's Territory, FallClans camp is well hidden compared to some camps. The entrance to the camp is an old twoleg path that is assumed to have been used to get back and forth from their dens, although the area is not visited much by twolegs anymore one or two will occasionally stumbleupon the camp causing some alarm. A gaurd is placed at the peak of the entrance to keep watch and make sure no danger is near. While there are plenty of sevret exits in the camp, this and one other exit are the only ones known by the other clans.
Burial grounds The burial grounds are a place of mourning and tranquility, located in the valley beside Fallclans camp just below the firefly meadow it is the place where all cats go to speak with their loved ones lost to battle, old age, or sickness. It is considered a very spiritual and simplistic place for Fallclan, and is also where The day of the dead festival is held. All apprentices must journey to the burial grounds and stay a full night there to speak with their ancestors during sleep before they are made warriors. All of Fallclans fallen warriors, kits, elders, queens, leaders, and medicine cats are buried here.
FIREFLY MEADOW A lush, sweeping meadow of long grass and surrounded by shrubbery. Though it can be tricky to navigate to, once your there you might not want to leave. A rich hunting ground during the day; but at night, the most magical and lovely place by far. When the stars shine down, a lustrous dance of fireflies begin and set the meadow aglow. This place is extremely popular with families, and romantic virtue. Some say that if you visit this spot - and the Scenic Lookout - with your crush, you'll soon be mates.
THE SECRET GARDEN In FallClan's past, there have been instances of StarClan blessing them with prey and good weather. The Secret Garden is StarClan's greatest blessing yet. Beneath the Great Oak lies a spacious burrow, a hollow place beneath the roots of the ancient tree. A small pool lies in the center of the room, trickling water out to all of the herbs growing around within. Safe from frost and weather, the Secret Garden allows the clan to have herbs in all seasons. The clan uses it as a place of worship, and to pray StarClan for guidance, while the medicine cats use it to collect herbs for FallClan and other clans, when in need.
THE TRAINING HOLLOW Lined with spring moss growing from the ground and surrounded by a curtain of vines, the Training Hollow is almost the perfect place for an apprentice to practice their training. The vines work to keep the apprentices from being distracted, while the moss protects them from injury while they practice battle moves. Also surrounding the perimeter of the hollow are numerous low-hanging branches for the apprentices to work on their balance.
ABANDONED WINDMILL A Windmill, abandoned and left forgotten. Its stones are crumbled away, its mill broken and unused. It's lofts and scattered grounds can be used as a rich hunting spot for plump mice; usually used more throughout the Winter. Rumor says that you can see a clear view of the Scenic Lookout from the top of the rafts. Sometimes, even, cats have been dared to climb to the very top of the Mill.
HERON LAKE A large, crystalline lake with a shimmer surface. Its not entirely used for much, rather than the occasional hunting and hang out place. The center of the Lake holds a rise of hills, almost a Island - but not quite big enough. Cats who enjoy tenuous work and exorcise have been known to swim its laps, or even cross to the Island itself.
SCENIC LOOKOUT Though its a long, and strenuous climb to the spot, it's well worth it. With a sloping, and winding path the leads from thick woods to rocky mountain, its a hard climb to the top. Once you find the clearing, there is a slate of rock that is stretched out and is nestled in between two cliffs. This spot overlooks the entire territory, a breathtaking view of FallClan's terrain. The stars are a clear view from here, and on rainy days the clouds hang so low that you can even walk among them. This spot is richly popular for mates. And some rumor, that like the Firefly Meadow, if you bring your crush here; they might become your mate one day.
THE TREE OF WISDOM Located inside FallClan's camp. An ancient old oak tree that dominates the center of camp with its twisting roots and spiraling branches. This is where the Leader goes to when they make announcements to the clan or organize patrols, and has been the site of more than one kit being scolded for tossing nuts down on warriors. This tree's roots are almost as deep as the ties FallClan has to it. It is rumored that the Tree of Wisdom is the very reason that FallClan decided to make their camp there in the first place.
THE GREAT OAK Planted just before you enter the Secret Garden; where it's roots can be seen stretching as far as to the tunnel's mouth itself. The great oak is, as you would guess, an ancient oak tree located in almost the exact center of FallCan's territory. It is as wide around as five warriors in a line and taller than the clouds themselves. Many say that this tree is the companion to the Tree of Wisdom in camp, and is used as a measure of prowess by apprentices and warriors to race up and down.
THE SHALLOW POOL Located close to the Waterfall. This collection of shallow water is surrounded and protected by a grove of trees; where even though you can't see the Waterfall, you can still hear it through the trees. This pool of water was blocked off by FallClan Warriors for use of better fishing techniques, as well as training for apprentices. Though its not commonly used; it is still looked to as an important landmark. Just beneath the pool, stretching along the river bank, are a collection of rocks that cats regularly use to sunbathe.
THE DEAD TREE Located just before the path to the Crystal Caverns, this tree was said to be struck by lightning. It's trunk is hollowed out, sometimes used for hunting purposes for prey and such. Used as a symbol of beauty, and tranquility. Because though this tree is rotted and dead, flowers and life seems to sprout from all around it.
FLOWER SPOT Located very close to the lake. Marshes of water web throughout the entire field, small and barley visible. This appears to be why the flowers grow so vibrantly here, and even sometimes can be seen clinging on for dear life during the Winter seasons. Some odd herbs can be found here, though not as richly as the Secret Garden. A popular spot for a romantic getaway with your mate.
