ShallowClan

Territory

---

ShallowClan's territory is mainly comprised of the many rocky beaches alongside the ocean as well as the empty, grassy fields that border said beaches. There is a small section of forest that acts as the deepest part of their territory and borders the other two clans. There is often heavy wind across the territory, which blows the scent of salt everywhere and can make hunting difficult.

Leaders

Heralds

Healers

Heard are the spiritual advisors of ShallowClan. They speak directly to StarClan and The Drowned, and provide offerings for the latter. There are only two heard at a time: the mentor and the apprentice. This rank isn't present in the other clans, and was created by Tidestar specifically for Mothsight so she could better serve her clan and keep her spiritual knowledge alive.

Warriors make up the majority of the clan and are responsible for keeping everyone safe, fed, and alive. The primary job of a warrior is to hunt prey for everyone to eat, although they also mark borders, fight hostiles, defend the territory, and speak to rogues. Warriors graduate from apprentices and will most likely mentor an apprentice of their own someday. Warriors also have the option to become monarchs, whether temporarily or permanently.

Apprentices are typically younger cats that are being taught how to become a warrior or healer by one or two mentors. Regardless of which path they choose, it's mandatory for them to learn basic herb use and identification so they can provide first aid when away from camp without putting themselves in danger. Warrior apprentices are taught how to handle themselves in battle and how to hunt various types of prey. They're also taken to meet allied rogues to learn how to develop proper social skills. Healer apprentices are taught the ins and outs of medicine, both for physical and mental ailments, proper bedside manner, how to think logically and reasonably, and about the spiritual beliefs of the clan. While the training for both types of apprentices is rigorous and usually lasts for four or five moons, apprentices are allowed to learn at their own pace and take however many moons that they need to throughly learn the material. Their names end with -paw.

Monarchs are often considered the backbone of the clan. Their primary job is to provide for the kits, although they have a tendency to act like parents to the rest of the clan as well, providing comfort and advice to any cat who may need it, regardless of their age. They are held in high regard and the leader will often turn to them for advice, despite the fact that they don't technically hold any power over the rest of the clan. There are two types of monarchs: temporary monarchs and permanent monarchs. Temporary monarchs are cats who are heavily pregnant or have recently kitted, and they usually stay in the nursery for four moons after the birth, although there are cats who have stayed until their kits were apprenticed. Permanent monarchs are the ones who have devoted their lives to this parental role. Along with caring for the kits, their duties involve watching for danger, assisting the healers, and repairing dens. There is no training to become a monarch, but a cat must have first completed full training as a warrior or healer before they can become one. If a cat declares their wish to become a monarch, then the clan holds an anonymous vote to decide if they get the position.

Kits are cats between 0-6, -7, or -8 moons. They are usually born into the clan, brought into the clan by their rogue parent who joins the clan, or given to ShallowClan by rogues to raise as warriors. Kits are expected to explore the world around them and learn social skills while they're young. Many older cats will give short lessons to kits in their free time, as this helps give them a headstart in life and helps them choose what they want to do with their life. While it's technically only the job of the monarchs to watch over the kits, it's socially expected of every cat to pitch in, or to at least know every kit by name before they're apprenticed. Kits are apprenticed when they show the emotional maturity and self preservation skills expected of an apprentice. This usually doesn't take longer than eight moons. Furthermore, kits may not be apprenticed before six moons, simply out of fear for their safety. Older kits are sometimes taken to gatherings to gain familiarity with other clans before they're expected to represent ShallowClan, although they are watched for their safety. Their names end with -kit.

Honoured are cats that have either retired, cannot perform regular duties, and the disabled. Regardless of why they became an honoured, they are, as their name suggests, honoured nonetheless. These cats know plenty about the history, lore, and customs of not just ShallowClan, but the other clans and the nearby rogues as well. They're also the best cats to speak to if you want to hear gossip or if you want to know more about another cat. The thoughts and opinions of the honoured are respected, especially when it comes to relations with other cats. When meeting a new group of cats, ShallowClan will often send several honoured to introduce themselves due to their social skills. If a sign from the dead is not sent to a healer or heard, it's more often than not sent to an honoured.
