Fogclan, the elusive warriors shrouded in mystery, dwell within the heart of dense, mist-laden forests, where the perpetual fog and lush canopy craft a realm of shadow and silence. These sleek and agile cats are masters of the mist, using the dense fog not only as a cloak for hunting but also as a spiritual guide, weaving their unique customs like 'Mistwalking' into the fabric of their lives. Their culture is steeped in wisdom and stealth, with the sacred Mistwalker's Pool at the center of their spirituality, reflecting the stars above in its serene waters each night, a testament to their deep bond with the land and its mysteries.

FOGCLAN

Characteristics

Founding

Long ago, in the heart of Mapleclan, there lived an apprentice named Wetpaw. His prowess in hunting under the damp, cool rain was unmatched. As he honed his skills, Wetpaw developed a unique hunting technique, mastering the art of fishing, a skill rare among his peers. Upon earning his warrior name, Wetfoot, his destiny took a fateful turn. One misty dawn, while pursuing his prey, Wetfoot strayed beyond the boundaries of Mapleclan and stumbled upon a land shrouded in perpetual fog. This land, untouched and rich in resources, captivated Wetfoot. He saw potential in this mysterious territory, a place where his fishing and hunting techniques could flourish.

Recognizing his exceptional skills, the leader of Mapleclan entrusted Wetfoot with the crucial task of training both warriors and apprentices in his innovative tactics. Under Wetfoot's guidance, the clan began to thrive, adapting to the wet terrain and discovering new herbs that flourished in the damp environment. However, within the heart of Mapleclan, a storm was brewing. Stormrunner, a fellow warrior ambitious and cunning, coveted the soon-to-be-vacant position of deputy. Wetfoot, with his growing influence and popularity, was his only obstacle. Aware that Wetfoot's success would likely lead to his appointment as the new deputy, Stormrunner devised a sinister plan. One ominous night, Stormrunner ventured into the forbidden fog-shrouded territory and returned with tainted prey. The consequences were dire – two respected elders fell victim to the poisoned meal. Wetfoot, associated with the land from where the tainted prey came, was wrongfully blamed. The land he had discovered, now dubbed 'the fog place,' was declared off-limits, and Wetfoot's reputation was tarnished. Amidst this turmoil, Stormrunner's plan came to fruition. He was named deputy, and Wetfoot, once a revered warrior, found himself shunned. However, not all turned their backs on him. A group of loyal followers, those who had thrived under his training and shared his fondness for the fog-laden territory, stood by his side. As the division within Mapleclan deepened, Wetfoot made a bold decision. He, along with his loyal supporters, departed from Mapleclan to forge their own path. Guided by the mist and driven by a shared vision, they ventured into the foggy land Wetfoot had discovered. In this mystical territory, shrouded in perpetual mist, they founded a new clan – Fogclan. Here, Wetfoot, now known as Wetstar, established a clan where his innovative techniques and deep understanding of the foggy terrain shaped their way of life. The clan thrived, living in harmony with the mist, and Wetstar's legacy lived on, a testament to resilience, innovation, and the unyielding spirit of those who dare to walk a different path.  Thus, the legend of Fogclan's founding, born from betrayal and a quest for a new beginning, became a tale passed down through generations, inspiring all those who heard it.

CLAN TRADITIONS

Fogclan Worships the Fog that drowns the land, For it protects all under her.

THE SILENT STEP (THE SILENCE)

mistwalekr.png

When a warrior receives their full name, they partake in a significant ritual called "The Silence." This ceremony involves the warrior stepping into the upper part of Mistwalker's Pool, immersing their paws fully in its waters. They then drink from the pond, a rare and sacred act reserved for this occasion and times of illness. The act of stepping and drinking from Mistwalker's Pool symbolizes the warrior's readiness to move silently and gracefully through the fog, thus embodying the spirit of the Mistwalker. 

"The Silence" is both a physical and spiritual journey, marking a significant milestone in a warrior's life.​ However, in the sorrowful event that a cat fails to receive their full warrior name due to an untimely death, Fogclan has a solemn and respectful practice to honor their memory. The fallen cat, who could not partake in "The Silent Step," is laid to rest in the shallow waters downstream of Mistwalker's Pool, where the gentle stream flows through the camp. 

​

This final resting place in the lower part of the stream is not just a physical location but a spiritual gesture. It signifies that though the cat could not complete their journey to full warrior status, they are still embraced by the clan and the sacred waters of Mistwalker's Pool. This act serves as a clan's farewell to their lost kin, entrusting them to the care of Mistwalker and StarClan in the waters that run through the heart of their territory.
