Mistclan Information
Geography of Mistclan
Mistclan is located at the bottom of the great mountain and is crisscrossed with streams. Mistclan cats however do not like water, and often flee to the large knoll in there territory during times of flooding. This wet, muddy geography leads to alot of the common cultures of the clan, it is important to note that the clan is not accepting of those who can swim, and see them as being unnatural. In addition to this, many trees surround the clan, which to those who are good enough at it, can provide a safe haven during floods.

Commonly Used Names
Mistclan does not dislike many names, but it would be considered insulting to name your kit after a fish type, or a crow, since both are animals, Mistclan sees as rather lowly.
Culture
Mistclan is one of the most religious clans in the area, they are very Starclan oriented and most of their culture revolves off of that. Mistclan cats consider that each year they stay relatively safe from the floods to be a very blessed thing. If a cat is ever seen disagreeing with something that has come from Starclan, they will likely be ostracized from the community. In addition to this, Mistclan is used to holding more clan meeting than usual, letting the members speak there concerns.
Most Common Prey
Those in Mistclan have a limited food supplies, they mostly eat lizards and other ground creature, some muskrats, and birds when they can. These cats dislike fish though and will only eat it when they absolutely have to.
Techniques and/or Skills
Mistclan cats are good at climbing, and seeking high ground during a flood. Because of this, they have above average knowledge of where every hill, and accessible tree is located. Also, because their prey is rather small and fast they are quite talented at sharp turns and quick yet silent movements. Even though catching and feed upon fish is labeled as disgusting, they have little to no problem catching them in times of dire need.
Specialties
The felines of Mistclan have adapted to their mucky, and watery land. Their fur has a unique oil, allowing their pelts to dry faster than average and keeps them warm when they must encounter the water. They also have an affinity for tree climbing, and have very strong claws and coarse paw pads to help them gain traction and climb most any tree.
History
Mistclan ran rather problem free for its first years. They kept a strong star clan oriented culture, and had little issues with this. Life was good. However, When Caveclan became sick, and looked for a better suited territory, an invasion shook Mistclan, and while they were unprepared for the battle, they did win it, Fighting the sick cats cost them many lives of good warriors though, including the leader of the clan. Cloudstar, was the next cat to become the leader, she was a small, and kind cat, who wanted to please everyone. When Caveclan died off she took any remaining warriors that wanted a home into her clan. This upset many of the clan born cats. Brindlefoot, shortly after received a prophecy, when a lightning bolt cut right through a white cloud during a storm. She alerted her sister, and then the clan, that Cloudstar should no longer be leader. Cloudstar resigned from this position, and decided it would be best to leave the clans all together. With their past leader now living life as a kittypet, the Clan is critical, and nervous about what the future holds.
