09.30.2019 → There has been some exciting changes on CD lately! We've added a new monarchy to the groups of cats on the islands, as well as restructured the boards a bit to allow for some space - thus, redrawing the map! We've also promoted Nifty to Global Mod! There are some auditions open right now for JungleClan Deputy as well as for all of the new Kingdom of Mokuhau high ranks - Artemis
09.12.2019 → Unfortunately Elaedria is stepping down as administrator due to life being too busy to keep up! The site will be going through some restructuring in high ranks as well due to this. Effective immediately, the word count is now 100 minimum. Some more changes will be coming in the future - members have been emailed a survey to help us figure out what to change and how to get better. Thanks for your patience! - Artemis
WEATHER
Year 55, Scorching Sands 09.05.2019 → The temperatures of the islands are a steady 98° F on land/ high 80s in water. There is almost no breeze, the sun is uncomfortably warm.
Prey during the day is pretty scarce due to the heat, however is quite active after the sun goes down.
Lost in the dense jungles of scattered islands, facing perils unimagined by their ancestors, are three warrior groups - The traditional JungleClan, descendants of the original clans carried aboard a twoleg contraption from their home long ago and breaking new ground on old beliefs. Second, the curious TidalClan, made up of kittypets who chose to abandon their long since passed twoleg civilization ways for those of true felines. Lastly, the mysterious Tribe of Twisted Roots, hidden in the mist from others with their strange ways and a deeper knowledge of the land around them. Together they must learn how to take their fate into their own paws if they wish to survive this land of erupting mountains and roaring waters.
Join our crew and dive into an island-based Warriors roleplay - a twist on the original series by Erin Hunter. We are a semi-literate site with a minimum of 100 words per post.
ember of dying light && fern that sways in wind there's a pretty big age difference between these two but if maybe he is kinda protective over her like he is his sister? i feel like they would get on really well!
biggest plotting wants currently: i might archive laurelpaw if i can't cook up some plots for her. also need something for ember as he's not doing a heck of a lot right now!
It's not challenging for a cat like Tinystar to have friends. She is incredibly social, and even though she is busy with the day-to-day of leading TidalClan, she always makes time to socialize. She is friendly with everyone, but it does take her awhile to get close to someone and share more details about herself personally. This is partially because she likes to look professional in front of her clan, but she does have some minor trust issues too. I'm looking for some general friends and maybe one or two really good friends for Tiny, hit me up if you have some ideas! She doesn't really have someone to fit the "best friend" role yet, so that might be nice! A confidant she doesn't have to worry about being too formal with.
+ ENEMIES
It's challenging for Tinystar to hate someone. You would have to have done something to spite her personally, the clan, or the Gods in order for her to start hating you. She has no hatred towards JungleClan, either, at this time. She is rather peaceful right now - but wants to explore further into the island world so perhaps enemies may crop up from that. She isn't perfect, though, there's bound to be a cat or two in her own clan even who doesn't like her ideologies. Hit me up if you'd like to fill that role!
+ LOVERS
Tinystar has always had an eye on Newstripe since they grew up together. As of right now, it's a small crush that she pushes away because she doesn't know if he feels the same and doesn't want to fracture their relationship. However, the more they interact the more she is falling for him. Romance is closed for now ^^
[attr="class","breaksilmbot"]
When the sky is filled with smoke and fire - I'm going to get it right
Friends? Uuugh. Who needs em. That's how Barracudabite feels, anyway. He's not really into maintaining relationships or having to pretend to be nice to people. Every once in awhile, though, he does find someone who can understand him and befriend him. He'd probably do well with someone equally as saucy but more laidback.
+ ENEMIES
It would not be difficult for Barracudabite to make an enemy. He's not the best natured cat in the clan, and he has no problem hefting sarcastic comments at others. He can be a bit snarky, as well. If you wanna hate on Barracuda, lemme know!
+ LOVERS
Barracuda is bi-sexual, so he is into whatever strikes. It's less about gender to him, and more about finding a perfect match. He will be a tough one to win over, but once they do, he will go 100% in and be completely dedicated and loyal to them. If you're interested in a relationship with him, I would like it to be a slow burn!
[attr="class","breaksilmbot"]
one day you will understand - why I pushed you away
I'm debating retiring Laurelpaw if I can't find her some plots, so I'm really open to anything! Laurelpaw is a sweet girl, but she is very shy. She is very close friends with Ratpaw whom she grew up with, but it can be a bit challenging befriending her. It would be interesting to see a very charismatic cat try to befriend her and push her out of her safe zone.
+ ENEMIES
A quiet sweet girl like Laurelpaw with enemies? It could happen! If you have some ideas for that please hit me up. Perhaps she could be bullied for her shyness? Not sure.
+ LOVERS
Laurelpaw would be a great mama one day. She's a bit young right now, but a cute little romance in her 'paw days would be cute. I feel like she would fall in love with someone really young but it wouldn't last forever. Maybe they break up and then much later in life (perhaps even after having kits with someone else) they go back to their first fling/love and settle down with that one again? She also currently lowkey has a crush on ratpaw
[attr="class","breaksilmbot"]
And I would give you every last breath - 'til there's nothing left
Ember is usually a pretty easy going guy and is not shy by any stretch of the word. He often can be found telling stories or joking with others. He can be a bit arrogant! Ember is an extremely loyal friend who would back you up no matter what the situation was. I would really like him to have a close friend who has his back too - a dynamic duo if you will! Open to any ideas here though!
+ ENEMIES
He's pretty opinionated so I wouldn't be surprised if he had enemies. It would be fun to have a rivalry with someone - maybe from kithood; they've grown up together and have been competitive? Open to any kinds of ideas for enemies! He doesn't like monarch that migrates north, and thinks he is incompetent as well as a poor choice for quartermaster being younger than himself and unexperienced.
+ LOVERS
Ember is a sweet guy who really deep down just wants a family of his own to love. Open to romance plots with him, just hit me up friends.
cinderfang is kind of a prickly gal, so making friends with her can be kind of difficult. i feel like she would benefit from having one really close friend, but she pushes most others away. i'm pretty wide open to plot ideas here!
+ ENEMIES
she's a bit of a trouble starter and enjoys going out of her way to argue with others. being opinionated, loud and sassy - she can definitely rub others the wrong way.
+ LOVERS
she once had a fling with iguanagaze before he was official with ivystar. she still has some feelings for him, and is still a bit heart broken that he left her - but she would rather die than show that she is still hung up over it. i'm open for plots on future loves! it could be fun if she used someone to try to make iguanagaze jealous too.

BREAKING THE SILENCE OF THE NIGHT - CAN'T YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING?
Serving his clan was of utmost importance to him, but he preferred to do it with tooth or claw, or sharp tongue. The silver tom had been lounging in camp after enjoying a vole, licking his whiskers clean after the meal. His blue eyes watched the medicine cat emerge from his den, the dark lithe tom moving so gracefully he almost seemed to be gliding. He couldn't help but akin the older tom to a panther in looks. He swiped his tongue over his muzzle for a final time, and watched the shape of the medicine cat get closer. Was he coming towards him? The silver tom hadn't interacted much with Anispine - and he wasn't terribly sure he had any want to, either.
[break][break]Much to his dismay the tom was soon standing in front of him, requesting him to join him. Barracudabite flicked his ears back, flat against his head. The request seemed a lot more like a demand, but the tom was twenty moons his senior and respected in JungleClan as their medicine cat. It would be foolish to cause a scene or refuse, even if he had a sharp comment simmering below the cool look he gave the black tom. The silver tom got to his paws slowly, stretching his long legs slowly - relishing the few moments of wasted time. After straightening up, he gave the medicine cat a bored look. "Fine, I guess," He responded, disinterested.
[break][break]Anispine hadn't waited for his response, though. As if he knew the other tom wouldn't refuse, the medicine cat was already leaving the camp. It didn't take much for him to catch up, though. They were built pretty similarly, both of their long strides matching one another. Every time the other tom stopped, Barracudabite made sure to huff a breath of annoyance to express his displeasure. It seemed like the tom had to investigate very single root and leaf. Surely he knew where each herb grew by now? But beyond some audible grumbles, he didn't speak his mind.
[break][break]Gathering herbs wasn't high on his list of things that he felt like doing to serve the clan, but he supposed it was still an important duty. He couldn't imagine living a day in Anispine's life. Living mostly in solitude, collecting herbs and healing horrendous smelling infected wounds sounded like the worst possible way to live. He couldn't imagine giving up being a warrior. Fighting, defending and the thrill of hunting were some of the few things that Barracudabite found true pleasure in.
[break][break]The silver tom followed Anispine easily over the creek. "Yeah, yeah..." He grunted ungratefully in response to the tom telling him to watch his footing. He watched as the tom moved towards a particular plant. When Anispine asked him to hold the other herbs he had collected, Barracudabite gingerly picked up the pile that was dropped in front of him. He accidentally bit down on one of the stems as he retrieved the herbs, a bitter taste flooding his mouth as the juice dripped out. He wrinkled his nose up in disgust. He fought off the urge to spit out the plant in response to the terrible taste, eyeing the black tom.
[break][break]When the medicine hissed at the plant, Barracudabite wondered if the black tom spoke to the plants, too. He wouldn't put it past the tom. He knew what was coming next. Happy to have an excuse to spit the bitter plants out, he dropped the herbs he held for Anispine to the side and moved towards the sprouts of ginger that he was gesturing to with his tail. "When did your last servant die?" He snorted, but still he drew himself up to the sprouts somewhat obediently. He began digging gingerly around the roots until he had exposed one root of ginger. He reached into the hole in the earth he had created, and gripped the root with his teeth and pulled until it came loose. "This good?" He mumbled around the plant.
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me? There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see. Out there's a world that calls for me. Well if there are strangers, and all kinds of danger, please don't say I'm going alone. I was ready to die for you, baby, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stay.

The large tom wasn't the greatest swimmer, but he did have the advantage that he was well built. Being strong definitely helped. He watched the tabby she-cat flail around in the water and gulp down a large mouthful of water before gurgling and paddling towards him. The tom grasped her by the scruff and helped her paddle back to the shore. They moved together, slowly but surely. Once he felt the sandy shore under his paws he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He was worried he wouldn't be able to help her and that he would embarrass himself in front of her.
[break][break]The large tom shook out the water from his coat, the droplets spraying off of him and falling around the two. He was about to make some sort of joke, but the other began speaking first. The she-cat apologized, and he saw the previous light in her diminish almost before him. Before he could respond, though, she flopped on her side and licked a small injury on her pad. She mumbled about him must thinking she was a terrible navigator before finally forcing herself to look up at him.
[break][break]There she was, a heap of wet fur and a hurt paw - sad and sorry. He felt his heart wrench in a sort of pity and empathy he normally never took the time to understand. He sat down beside the she-cat, and shook his head. "That's not true, Rain. We were just having fun - accidents happen," He mewed softly, his voice taking on a serious tone. "This is no reflection on you as a navigator at all. In fact, I think you have a lot to offer our tribe." He added, gazing into her eyes.
[break][break]He didn't know her all that well, but he already knew how much he enjoyed being around her. It was if she was a cooling breeze on a sticky, hot day. She breathed fresh air into his day with her playfulness. Her wonderment and curiosity made him feel younger and happier than he had in quite some time. He usually focused on taking care of everyone else but never spent time enjoying himself, and Rain showed him today that it was okay to let loose. Her spirit was a light in the dark, but he didn't know how to put those thoughts into words. Instead, he gave her a reassuring warm smile.

inystar couldn't have known what the tortiseshell she-cat had been thinking or feeling, but she noticed an immediate shift when the brown tabby tom joined them. The calico she-cat caught the change in Coralfrost's demeanour, but she couldn't quite put a paw on the reason why. She knew the other she-cat was shy, but she thought that of all of the other cats in the clan Newtstripe was possibly one of the most friendly. Completely oblivious to the way that Coralfrost had been feeling about her, the calico-and-white she-cat wrinkled her brow in concern at the younger she-cat as she looked at the ground. She opened her mouth to say something, but before she could think of what to say to the withdrawn tortie, Newtstripe was speaking again.
[break][break]She turned her eyes to him, his shape lit up by the moonlight making her breath catch in her chest. It seemed the more time she spent with her once close childhood friend, the more her feelings towards him changed. She nodded as he explained how he couldn't sleep and decided to get away from camp. It seemed that this was a popular place to come when one could not sleep. His words were finished with a gentle nudge. She felt her pelt grow warm, and brushed her tail against the tom in return. "It is peaceful out here. Having you join us makes it that much nicer." She returned the compliment, blinking at him.
[break][break]She felt a wave of relief as the tabby tom addressed Coralfrost. The tom was so friendly, even though she was sure she hadn't seen him socialize with Coralfrost much in the camp or on patrols. He had taken an interest in her hobby, and wanted to include her. The chief wondered if the other she-cat would allow the tom to become a part of her secret world - one that Tinystar had only glimpsed so briefly before she closed herself up again like a butterfly in a cocoon. Newtstripe had noticed the drooping tail of Coralfrost, too, and asked if everything was alright. He glanced at her, and she felt his gaze warming her pelt once again. She glanced between the two, and moved forward to brush against the other she-cat gently. "I'd like to see more of your favourites, too, if that's alright?" She encouraged the tortie softly.

inystar had just finished leading a patrol down the JungleClan border. Everything had been quiet on the border, the scent of the other clan's patrol was a bit stale. Deciding that everything was alright, the patrol wrapped up and instead dispersed into a couple of groups. Instead of joining the patrol to make the trek back to camp or joining a handful of her clanmates to start a hunting patrol, she had decided to turn her paws towards Hekili Lake. The she-cat nodded to the others and began heading towards the lake.
[break][break]As she travelled down the beach, she saw the form of the mountains in the distance, hard to see through a thick mist surrounding them. No cat in TidalClan had gone up there and lived to tell the tale. Her predecessor, Coconutstar, had been paranoid of angering the gods and had all but forbade expeditions. The younger more ambitious Tinystar decided once she was made leader to start them up again, but she too held a healthy fear of the gods. While she wanted to respect them, she wanted to expand her territory and strengthen her clan. The mountains were rumoured to be cursed by the very same gods, but a burning curiosity always came over her whenever she saw the snowy peaks through the mist.
[break][break]A slight shiver ran across her pelt as she thought about walking up the misty slopes. It would be insanity to make such a journey on her own, and while she was adventurous she wasn't about to be reckless when she had an entire clan to look after. Trying to push the thoughts of the mountains aside, she continued travelling down the shore until she saw the large body of fresh water known as Hekili Lake in the distance. The lake was one of the only sources of fresh water in TidalClan's territory, and it was a great spot to collect herbs, hunt small prey and certain freshwater fish.
[break][break]She drew closer to the lake, and padded up the shore that was littered with pebbles. Lush grass swaying in the wind was growing around the lake. Tinystar moved forward so her front paws were slightly in the lake, the cold water a stark contrast to the burning hot sands of beach. The water carried fresh scents from the mountain down to the lake, the smells wafting to her a mystery she wished to know. She took a few laps of the water, relishing the cold against her dry throat. Licking the water droplets off of her whiskers, she stepped back to remove her paws from the water and sat on the shore of the lake with her tail wrapped around her. Perhaps she ought to hunt, or collect some useful herbs for Turtlehop. She wasn't sure which herbs the healer might need, but Turtlehop always seemed thankful for anything Tinystar chose to bring back.

The sinking sun was filtering through the canopy of trees above, sending fractured rays down to warm her pelt as she quietly stalked through the jungle. Most often when she was out hunting, Cinderfang was left to her own devices. There weren't many she was close to in the clan. After she had her heart broken by the one she loved, she began pushing people away. She built up a wall around her, and paved it with concrete. For good measure, she added a layer of prickly barbs guaranteed to prick anyone who tried to get closer to her.
[break][break]Before she had left camp, she wondered whether she might see if anyone wanted to hunt with her - but she decided that today she could use a bit of peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of camp. She didn't need one of the other warriors nattering away at her as she tried to focus on hunting. The tortie she-cat stalked through a dense part of the jungle, foliage brushing against her long pelt as she moved. It wasn't long before she caught the scent of a lizard. The small reptiles were fast and stealthy, making them difficult prey to catch. Luckily enough, Cinderfang was up for a challenge.
[break][break]The she-cat crouched down, her belly brushing the jungle floor as she locked her eyes on the small lizard. It was currently resting on the trunk of a tree. She could see the calm, strong rhythm of the creature's heart pulsing through the thin papery skin. It hadn't noticed her, yet. She crept forward, ears pricked up as she concentrated on the kill. When she was a few tails lengths away she launched forward with her claws spread, yowling in excitement as she felt them slide into her prey. She lifted the small lizard to her mouth and finished it with a killing bite, licking her lips and whiskers; pleased with herself.

Congratulations martin! Your character has been approved! Please be sure to sign your character up to the TAKEN NAMES AND CLAIM and add your character to TIDAL CLAN'S ALLEGIANCES before making your first in-character post!
Welcome to CD, Martin! I love the name change and fc. Smallpaw isn't so smol anymore x) can't wait to see Rosefang in action!
Each group is run differently and are shaped by their leaders. The leader in TidalClan is called a Chief. Below are the current decrees of the Chief which act as the "code" for the clan since TidalClan does not have a Warrior Code. Tinystar is the current Chief of TidalClan. Her second in command is called a Deputy. The current Deputy is Sharksong. TidalClan's Healer is the cat who cares for the clan as well as advises the other High Ranks. The current Healer is Turtlehop. Below is all of their views on important matters.
Belief Level: Tinystar may be a bit of a trailblazer in comparison to many older TidalClan cats - however, she has a high belief level in both the Gods and Ancestors.
Relation with Gods: Tinystar believes the Gods are real and still mandates offerings to them. She holds a fearful awe of them, but isn't willing to live in their shadows like her predecessor. Tinystar believes that they can live in harmony with the Gods, and while she thinks that weather is most likely controlled by their favour; she believes that individuals have a say in their lives and their own destinies. It would be frowned upon if you practised atheism in TidalClan under her command.
Relation with Ancestors: Tinystar is in agreeance with much of what her ancestors before her believes. She believes in the Gods of Soothing Skies, Scorching Sands and Shrieking Storms. She also believes in what they are capable of. Where Tinystar differs is the belief that TidalClan should never leave their home because it is all they know. She respects that fear, but is hoping to overcome it and push forward and explore new lands to better the clan. That is probably her biggest difference to the ancestors.
General Observation of Morals/Tenants: Above all, duty to the clan comes before anything else under Tinystar's command. You must first feed those of the clan who can not feed themselves and give offerings to the Gods before feeding yourself - this is law and punishable if broken. Forbidden romances are looked down upon, you should have no wish to look for romance outside of your own clan - it is dishonourable, however, should a forbidden romance be discovered Tinystar would not react too harshly. If a litter of kits were to happen through a forbidden romance, Tinystar would fight for them as they are from her clan and her clan comes first before prejudice. The borders are mostly respected by Tinystar but it is more because of fear of the unknown rather than fear of trespassing. Tinystar wants to push past the borders and explore unclaimed territory at a pace reasonable to her clan as long as it poses no imminent danger or angers the Gods. Trespassers will always be heard out and are met with a fair trial, regardless of the circumstances. Should a trespasser be found to be doing harm to the clan or those within it, the penalty will be severe. Life is sacred to TidalClan - it is looked down upon to kill another without justifiable reason such as an immediate threat to your own life. If she were to discover one of her own killed without good cause, she may go as far as exiling or even sentencing that cat to death. The young, defenceless and elders are all sacred in her clan - those who have yet to serve or have already served the clan are to be protected and cared for first, no exceptions.
Relation with Other Groups: At the moment, Tinystar has no reason to be hostile towards JungleClan. They separated on relatively good terms in a mutual understanding that their differences were too great to continue together. She does harbour some bitterness that some of her own would have left to join them. Tinystar and TidalClan are completely unaware that the Tribe even exists as they have never travelled past their own borders on the main island.
Extra info: Tinystar is a leader who has a firm yet fair style of ruling as Chief. All opinions are important to her, and she will listen to her clan if they bring her suggestions or issues. She tries to do things for the greater good but does understand that sometimes a decision must be made, right or wrong, and consequences must be handled accordingly. Tinystar may not always make the right decisions, but she promises to learn from her mistakes and grow as a leader. Her wishes for leadership are to push into new territory and grow TidalClan to the strongest clan. She is ambitious but is wise enough not to throw all caution to the wind. She will not make any moves that may jeopardize herself or the clan for gain. She acts with a sense of justice and is happy to punish those who break the rules that are laid out after a fair trial to prove guilt.
Belief Level: Tentatively high. He believes more out a sense of fear from retribution than actual genuine faith.
Relation with Gods: Tumultuous. He doesn't understand them and he is secretly afraid to. He questions their rituals and the way TidalClan seems to follow them without question. He doesn't want to bend from tradition, but he certainly has wondered about their actual existence multiple times before.
Relation with Ancestors: Sharksong doesn't give much thought to his ancestors. If someone is gone, they are gone--he doesn't stop to question that they might be watching from above. He has a tendency to focus on the present and the future, and thus he rarely takes the time to consider those in the past.
General Observation of Morals/Tenants: Lenient yet aggressive. Sharksong won't be high-pressed to discipline rulebreakers, and he is relaxed when it comes to the rules themselves. However, if he himself is challenged--from a clanmate or another clan--he won't hesitate in putting them in their place, even with the slightest infractions.
Relation with Other Groups: Cautiously accepting. While he understands why borders and the need to defend them exist, he isn't one to naturally dislike someone just because they originate from somewhere else. As long as other groups don't cause problems with him, he can respect that they exist.
Extra info: Sharksong's demeanor might make it seem like he shouldn't have any power. He acts certain enough that it might be hard to approach him with different ideas. He is cocky enough to act impulsively as well. However, with enough persistence it is possible to get him to reconsider his stance or come to terms with any errors he may have made.
Relation with Gods: Fearful awe. She has a deep respect for the Gods that borders on fear at times.
Relation with Ancestors: Respectful, but less so than the Gods. She believes them to have good advice, but their word is not law. They are only cats who may have other useful perspectives, but being dead does not make you suddenly know all truths.
General Observation of Morals/Tenants: Cares more deeply for her own clan than outsiders. Turtlehop puts priority on those under her own care. If it would come down to her saving a clanmate or a stranger, she would not hesitate to choose the former. She believes the best practice for her clan and herself to keep their heads down and stick close to home.
Relation with Other Groups: Wary of Jungleclan, horrified they don't have such strong beliefs in the Gods. Distrustful of the Tribe, but intrigued by their similar religions. Unaware of the Kingdom.
Extra info: Turtlehop is an older figure, and feels the need to be a guiding force for her younger high ranking counterparts - however, her own insecurities make her somewhat more inclined to want to stay out of things. She also struggles to accept other clans' healers as being as knowledgeable as herself, and often will look down upon them as not knowing as much, or lacking compassion, or experience.
This is the complete history of TidalClan. This post will tell you how they came to be, a bit about their background and where it all fits in with the site's timeline.
TidalClan's Complete History
Quick History
Year 30, Soothing Skies: Twolegs arrive on the island and make a settlement. They bring along the kittypets who become what is today known as TidalClan. Year 40, Shrieking Storms: The twolegs are driven off of the island due to a very bad storm developing. It quickly developed into a hurricane and the twolegs who stayed behind are killed in the floods. Several cats and other species remain. Year 41, Soothing Skies and Scorching Sands: The cats from the original four clans shipwreck on the island. They meet up with the kittypets who had been barely surviving and begin teaching survival and the way of the clan. Year 45, Soothing Skies: Though life is relatively simple, a disagreement causes the group of clan cats and kittypets to diverge. This marks the creation of JungleClan and TidalClan. The leader becomes an older tom named Reef - he was the eldest and most respected of the surviving kittypets. They take on the clan traditions and he becomes Reefstar and receives his three lives. Year 46, Shrieking Storms: Reefstar dies, Sandstar becomes leader. Year 50, Scorching Sands: Sandstar dies, Coconutstar becomes leader. Year 53, Soothing Skies: Coconutstar dies, Tinystar becomes leader.
Approximately 30 years after the Tribe of Twisted Roots shipwrecked and settled on the island, twolegs discovered the island. It was the perfect place to start a new town - it was a large enough island with many smaller surrounding islands, fresh water, and the proper soil to be able to cultivate crops. It wasn't long before the twolegs began building. They made buildings out of stone, planted new herbs that were not native to the island and even brought over some livestock and pets that would adapt to the tropical climate. Life was very peaceful for many years on the island - it was a little slice of paradise.
The twolegs and their new felines lived happily for many years, never even knowing that another group of (now) feral tribe cats lived on another island very close by. Everything worked in harmony, and another ten years passed peacefully. Things began to look dour when the weather took a turn for the worse. The storm clouds grew angry, and with them; the tensions of the twolegs. It wasn't long before the storm clouds turned into a strong storm that swept the island into chaos. The twolegs began evacuating, many leaving their belongings and beloved pets behind in their panic to get themselves off the island. Some dedicated twolegs stayed behind but unfortunately did not survive. The hurricane blew through the town and made a ruin of many twoleg buildings. The surviving cats that had taken shelter met up in what remained of the town and held a meeting. It was decided that they needed to band together and try their best to survive.
The kittypets were quite scrappy; while a few died along the way, they managed to get by until one fated day when they came across a wrecked ship on the beach. Little did they know, the cats that were carried on the destroyed fishing boat would change their lives forever. The original clan cats shared their lives back home much to the wonderment of the island cats. For a time the two groups lived in loose harmony - but it was soon apparent that their views on day-to-day island life was too different to continue as one group. After the two clans divided: JungleClan and TidalClan were subsequently formed. JungleClan had the ambition to forge forward into the jungle whilst TidalClan lingered in the security that the twoleg town offered them.
For the next few years, life in TidalClan was pretty good under Reefstar's leadership. The clan prospered under his knowledge combined with the survival skills that they had learned from JungleClan. The tom was old, though, and he was no match for the hurricane that was about to hit. The hurricane in the 46th year during Shrieking Storms ripped through the camp and claimed Reefstar's life. The tom was replaced by a she-cat named Sandstar who wanted to push further into the unknown than her predecessor did. This was met with some resistance, and in the 50th year when she led a small patrol towards the volcano and never came back the clan took it as an omen from the Gods that they should never stray from their home again. Coconutstar takes over the role as leader, and under his rule - the clan becomes very sheltered.
Coconutstar was an elder, too, but far more nervous than Reefstar; many of the younger cats disagreed when he began to segregate the clan from the outside world. The clan started to become more religious during his leadership, his preaching often was based around the Gods and using them as a scare tactic to keep his disciples from wandering away from their camp. The old tom mandated that the first pieces of prey were to be dropped off the dock as offerings to the Gods. The clan was scared, hungry and morale was low. When Coconutstar died of old age, it was evident that the new leader of TidalClan needed to have passion to fuel a positive change because the clan is tired of living in fear of the weather, the Gods and what is beyond their borders. A fiery young she-cat named Tinystar was named leader - determined to regain the prosperity they once had under Reefstar.
