\\ SOCIETY //
CardinalClan is one of the more... unique Clans in the forest. Most would call them sadastic, evil, or deranged. But their leader isn't that sure.
The founder of the 'new CardinalClan' was Silentstar. He didn't believe in StarClan, and everybody he loved was slowly dying or leaving him. So he made his Clan his love.
Anybody who isn't loyal to the Clan can be sure death is on the way, and usual their leader will carry out the killings, although if you kill one of your own Clanmates you most likely won't be punished.
The fresh-kill pile is first come first served. If the kits, queens, and elders can't get there fast enough they die. You might survive if a cat comes up and gives you some food... good luck with that.
Apprentices sometimes die in training due to the violent way the apprentices train. Once their mentors feel they're ready, they spar with Silentstar, the deputy of the Clan, or another high up warrior. If they can pin them, then they can become a warrior. if they can't, they are dead.
As you see, it's basically weeding out the weak ones. After all, who wants a weak Clan?
\\ SKILLS AND WEAKNESSES//
CardinalClan is the Clan with the mighty river flowing through it, so they are quite fond of water, and they aren't afraid to get their paws wet. Their pelts are often long and sleek, with some exceptions. On land, they are swift and agile, preferring to use their speed over their strength, as bulk isn't their main forte.
\\ PREY AND TERRITORY //
Their prey consists of mainly fish and birds. Sometimes mice, squirrels, and other small prey end up on the fresh kill pile, although they aren't the tastier items. A prize prey item; birds of prey, are caught but usually never end up on the fresh kill pile. They are taken down by at least two or more cats ( That might die if they aren't careful. ) and usually they get the reward of the delicacy.
The territory has four main parts. A forest area, a rocky area, the river, and the plains. The forest area isn't much of a forest however, as it only has a couple trees scattered here and there. The rocky area is an area filled with many cliffs and crags. Birds of prey can be hunted here, although it takes strong cats to scale the cliffs, strength that comes very rarely to this Clan. the next area is the river area, and where the camp is located. It is rocky around the river, creating small, and one large waterfall, where cats come to relax. Strong cats can get to the top of the crags easily, but the camp is located in an esier position for cats who know the way. And the last area, the plains, or really, the marshes. They are the floodplains really, with patches of firm ground, then moist ground. Where the ground is wet, you will find reeds growing, and snakes are often found here.
\\ DANGERS //
Due to the rivers close location, when it rains it is likely to flood, and floods have been known to destroy the camp before, and it also wards off all prey sources except for fish. Also sometimes large eagles fishing may find an apprentice or kit a tasty meal. Other than that, snakes sometimes like to hide in the rocky terrain around the river.
