History is a part of Project World and has been graded bronze.


There have been cats around the territories since the early 1800s, but, most cats opted to either hunt alone or in family groups. In the early days, some groups rose to power, but, by the mid-1910s, they had all but dispersed and returned to the old ways of living. This was mainly due to conflicting beliefs, attitudes, and morals. However, by the early 1980s, something once again changed in the minds of the territory's families and three Clans would eventually rise to prominence and survive to the modern-day.

FieldClan[]

FieldClan was founded by Caspian and his sisters, Aieleen, Molly, and Caesy. The family group began as a place for other cats to seek shelter and a free meal. However, as time passed, cats chose to stay in the friendly company of the family and as a result, one family became many. Caspian led for a number of years before passing the mantle of leadership to his son, Fionn, after passing away from old age. Fionn was supposedly the one that named the Clan after the territories main geological feature, vast fields of rolling hills.
Fionn would lead for quite some time until deciding to retire due to failing eyesight and naming his deputy, Leechfoot as his successor. With Leechfoot, came a new era of paying respects to their ancestors in StarClan. As a result, the usage of a naming system became much more widely accepted throughout the Clans and Leechfoot was granted her proper leader name, Leechstar.
For FieldClan, their leaders mainly followed the same path during each rule. Many of the leaders were remembered throughout stories in the early days. However, at some point, storytelling about past leaders and their triumphs began disappearing in traditions and as a result, some leadership's were forgotten about unless a leader had a significant impact on FieldClan. This practice seemed to have disappeared during the mid-1990s almost altogether.
During the Clan's more recent history, Brightstar became leader. She was well-known for maintaining a distinctively different view about outsiders from past leaders. She was much more hesitant to let new cats into FieldClan, making few exceptions and then having her trust broken. She and her deputy, Oatfang, served for many moons with their hard-pressed attitude towards loners and rogues. Eventually, Oatfang retires to the elder's den and she names the young warrior, Ospreystorm, as her replacement deputy. However, only a few moons following his appointment as deputy, Brightstar passes away due to old age.
Ospreystorm travels to the Moonspring to receive his new name and nine lives and returns to FieldClan as Ospreystar. As such, his rule in leadership has only recently begun and the history pertaining to him can be found to be documented here.

ShoreClan[]

ShoreClan's history, at some points, was poorly documented, as they were hesitant in some leaderships to embrace their memory. The Clan, however, found its beginnings with Hali, their founder. Hali was a local loner to Long Beach, and it is believed she was the eldest daughter of her family group and chased away her kin to claim her childhood family as her own territory. Her attitude had other local she-cats flocking to her for support and soon enough, ShoreClan had its early beginnings as a Clan based around the protection of young mothers and she-cats wanting to raise their kits without being hassled by toms.
It is believed that some of the earliest leaders of the Clan that succeeded Hali in her passing were her daughters and granddaughters. Toms were forbidden from taking on high positions, with the exception of medicine cat roles. Some of the earliest leaders that can be recalled are Snakestar, Minnowstar, and, Sandstar, who was the leader before the infamous Gullstar - the only known male leader of ShoreClan.
He had a short and troubled rule before being succeeded by Stonestar who righted his wrongs. Stonestar however, had a very short rule herself as she went missing after a night of late swimming. In her absence, her deputy, Salmonclaw took over leadership and after moons of standing in as ShoreClan's temporary leader, she finally took over the position officially after the medicine cat received a sign from StarClan. Salmonstar's leadership can be read about here.

ThicketClan[]

ThicketClan's territory was once a safe haven for all cats, a place for temporary housing and good hunting grounds. The land eventually came under the control of a hostile rogue group that began to drive out the residing families. Of those families was Artorius and Lancelot, a pair of adopted brother who lost their mother to the murderous claws of the hostile group. Artorius, in the name of his mother, called together a group of felines to take over the territory and end the reign of terror. After an intense battle, the tom was successful, and established the territory as his own. He named his group ThicketClan, after the densely forested territory.
After the tom was succeeded by his adopted brother, Lancelot, the clan's image began to change. Artorius was a chivalrous yet impulsive character with a respect towards the developing code, but his companion had edge. Cunning Lancelot was more hostile towards the other clans and enjoyed using loop holes in the code to get his own way, taking ThicketClan for a darker turn. From that moment on, the clan became known for its loathing attitude towards kittypets.
The leaders that followed had reigns that varied in length. The stories of most were forgotten once Lionstar rose to power, a tom who made it his goal to exterminate the remains of Artorius' line, so that ThicketClan would know nothing more than Lionstar. The treacherous tom created fear within the walls of ThicketClan, and discomfort among his neighboring clans. He used terror and gruesome methods to gain the "respect" of his clanmates, and trained his daughter to take over the mantle, in hopes that she would continue with his practice.
Sunstar, known for her greatness and beauty, had other ideas. Once her father was killed, she began to reform ThicketClan and focus once more on acknowledging the importance of the code. However, her time as leader was short, for StarClan granted her only two lives, as her only purpose was to fix what her sire had destroyed.
Her successor, Froststar, continued on his predecessor's practice of peace and prosperity. He reunited his clan and held the position of leader for many, many years, until finally he succumbed and allowed his own son to take over. Alas, Lakestar's rule only lasted six moons until he mysteriously disappeared.
Talonstar was the next leader, known for her ferocity and stoic nature. She acted more machine than feline, ruling her clan with an iron fist while also refusing to tolerate any sign of weakness. She did gain the respect of her clanmates despite not being particularly personable, and she also re-established ThicketClan as a force to be reckoned with. However, she began to grow senile after losing her beloved Rockheart and son, Dew-whisker. Not to mention, her daughter ran off to become a kittypet, the most shameful process a mother could go through in ThicketClan. In hopes of balancing her sovereignty out, she picked obnoxiously up-beat Mousenose as deputy.
She finally came to pass and allowed Mousenose to take over. The tom of a shady and secretly cannibalistic past picked Firefoot as his first deputy before she tried to assassinate him outside of camp. He killed and partially devoured her before making her "disappearance" a complete secret. The remains of Mousestar's time can be read here.
