Google dot com says the traditional gift for a four year anniversary is fruit & flowers?? How festive! In honor of our fourth year on the world wide web, we are requesting bouquets and fruit baskets or cash donations to the whip-a-rain-fund 😌 Oooooorrr we guess...alternatively...we can put on a big, month-long celebration featuring a warm-and-fuzzy event, scavenger hunt, a raffle drawing, and a freakin' prize wheel??! See the September Announcements for more information, and don't forget to check out the September Patrols too!
The Apostles is a warrior cats roleplay based in northern Wisconsin. On Lake Superior, the wild cats have made the Apostle Islands their home. It is on these islands - Rocky Island and South Twin Island - that the clan and tribe cats have lived in a peace and harmony that ebbs and flows with the tide.
But as the tides turn, so does the truce that binds them to one another; and as the water raises, a darkness follows, an evil that will end in bloodshed and violence.
ThistleClan dwells in a needled coniferous forest that inhabits the northwestern area of the island. The verdant forest consists of tall, white pines, and lowly balsam firs, which blanket the forest floor with dried needles and cones. Beneath the firs, the underbrush varies from harsh brambles, thorns, and thickets. This foliage allows ThistleClan cats to maneuver in the shadows. The land is also home to numerous burrows, some home to hares and mice, others abandoned, and perhaps once, created by ancient ThistleClan cats.
Near the northern peninsula, an old, barren elm tree stands like a forsaken omen. Its leaves haven’t flourished in seasons, and its bark is charred and blackened from violent storms. This tree is known to clan cats as the Great Owl Tree because an old, Great-Horned owl used to live inside its archaic trunk. For ThistleClan warriors, the landmark is the ideal area to train apprentices, as the terrain is level for battle lessons.
As the pine forest thins in the northwest, the land slowly transforms from thick underbrush and thorns to a wet marshland covered in cattails and weeds. The water is dark, clouded with mud, and stagnant in nature. Earning its eerie namesake, deathberries and holly berries grow in abundance along the basin. Despite its sinister name, the landmark is a popular hunting ground for ThistleClan warriors since it is a hotbed for various birds, voles, and amphibians.
