User:Stoatbramble/Drifting Legion

The Drifting Legion is a small group on the Sand Mountain. They are named for how the sand outside their cave seems to drift around on windy days. The group lives in a medium-sized cave with a cliff by the entrance facing away from the Clans. They are in the middle of the mountain, but closer to the peak rather than the base.

The nearest source of water is a small pool (the same kind of body of water as the Moonpool, but no StarClan connection) about a fox-length north of the Sand Mountain. The Drifting Legion collects water from this pool with wads of moss, then stores it in cool areas in each dip. To get to the base of the mountain to hunt, collect herbs or water, and scout for potential new members, one must travel carefully down the ledges in the uneven rock face.

The Drifting Legion will accept cats from anywhere, but they must spend a "trial moon" as a student to determine their rank. Kits are automatically accepted as young.

The ranks of the Drifting Legion are as follows:

Luminary


 * Healer (medicine cat, two at a time)

Guard Cats (patrol borders, guard the camp, and fight)


 * Resource Gatherers (hunt and fetch water and herbs for the healers)

Students (apprentices, train to be either Luminary (1 at a time), healer (2 at a time, 1 per healer), guard cats (unlimited) or resource gatherers (unlimited))

Caregivers & Young (queens and kits, caregivers = queens, young = kits)


 * Elders

The current Luminary is Bubble, played by me. She is not the founder/first Luminary.

Other Stuff To Know:


 * Young become students at 10 moons old.


 * Students train for one moon as both a guard cat and a resource gatherer, then the Luminary picks whichever one they feel suits the student the best.


 * If there's an opening for a Luminary student or a healer student, then students may train in those slots.


 * Students become a guard cat or resource gatherer at 16-18 moons. Luminary and healer students may train for longer.

The map of the sleeping-dips in the cave of the Drifting Legion are as follows: Any questions? Ask me. You only need to ask for healers, the Luminary student, and Healer Students.
