The tribes

Being the original organized winged tribe, they hold themselves to a higher standard than other cats in the valley, they are the "pure bloods" so to speak. Long ago, WindJumper left his mother who had abandoned him in the woods due to his winged condition, and sought shelter in a cave high in the mountains, away from other cats that would harm him. He was not the only winged cat born that season but he was the first and the only one who was smart enough to leave. Finding a female mate awhile later he began his own family and all his six kits were winged as he was. Vowing to protect his family he raised and trained them to fight and protect their cave for outsiders and to protect themselves from other cats who could be threars. After many years his family grew and grew and their hunting territory expanded as they became a formidable tribe, all winged and able to fly better than some of the birds in the skies due to their extensive training. Windjumper's mother had long ago returned to her tribe and continued having kits, the winged mutation continued and thus, the other winged tribes were born and bred for years. Jaggedtribe is now the largest and strongest tribe, most concerned with the the elaborate and harsh training of young cats as warriors designed to protect the tribe and the caves whereabouts. This tribe strives on their close knit ties with each other and the family-like environment that flows through all the cats living here. Their hunting territory includes the mountain peaks as well as the oak forest below their cave. They normally prey on rabbits, birds, and the occasional possum.This tribe is lead by senior warrior Rushingwind who is described as a greyish tawny Tom with creamy wings and a solemn glare.

It is sometimes speculated that this was the tribe Windjumper's mother basically created as she continued to breed despite the winged problem. Despite the rumors, this is the second largest tribe in the valley and by far the most unique because of their interesting adaptation. The felines in this group do have wings yes, but none can fly more than twenty feet or so before tiring and falling from the sky. Due to their ancestors being afraid to teach their young to use their wings, their wings never developed properly and left them nearly flightless down the bloodline. Now, these cats have developed amazing skills in hunting by leaping into the air, and using what little flight they do have to their ultimate advantage.This tribe resides west of the Jaggedtribe mountains and occupies the grasslands that carpet the valley here. They also have a small sliver of oak forest stolen long ago from Jaggedtribe in an ancient battle. They prey normally on mice, birds, and rabbits. The leader of this tribe is called WinterSong and is described as a small brown she cat with tigerish stripes. - PineBramble

The PineBramble tribe is only known for their shadowy nature, tending to only be active at night and under the cover of storms. This tribe is home to the notoriously bad tempered GreenPaw, the brother of Jaggedtribe's leader Rushingwind, and he tends to rage into battle first and ask questions later. While this tribe is fully equipped with flight feathers they stick to the tree tops, leaping from bough to bough with ease and silence. Their history is cloudy but it is rumored they originated from a sibling of WindJumper whose name has been long forgotten from the old stories and legends, but no cat knows for sure. The territory of this tribe consists of the pine forest that coves the mountain peaks just north of Jaggedtribe across the valley directly. They prey mostly on birds but have been known to take down large rats nesting in their southern borders. Most of these felines are dark pelted with black or dark grey wings, to help them hide in the night sky. - MistThicket

The MistThicket tribe was destroyed about two decades in the past by a great forest fire which is now just called the Great Fire. The damage here was almost unbearable for the rest of the valley, an entire tribe wiped out by a single event. Over the course of two weeks the flames spread across the valley and devoured much of the forest carpeting the valley and left the two remaining tribes and the rouges in a rough spot with little food an hardly any water. It was a time when they all came together in a sort of mutual truce and the fighting ceased for about a year and a half before the food returned to the valley along with the foliage. The MistThicket tribe was wiped from existence and though it is rumored some cats escaped the cave they had been trapped in when they all burned to death that fateful day, no proof has arisen. To this day the area they inhabited remains scarred with the skeletons of the tribe and the black cuts of the flames. Nothing grows here and all cats are forbidden in this part of this valley out of respect and fear of the trapped souls that still can be heard screeching in the dead of night here. - Killdeer
-
This is a rough group of traitors and exiles that has banded together over the years under the reign of BloodLust, known murderer of innocents and bloodthirsty she cat. BloodLust emerged about five years ago from an unknown land and came to power in the KillDeer only after she killed the previous leader whose name is not known. Once in power she began to gain more followers through scare tactics and blackmail, now terrorizing the tribes and their lands by purging food and kits. Infamous for stealing kits to be raised by her own "tribe", BloodLust has become the common enemy among the tribes. However, recently rumors have begun to cause panic that she and her now sizable army of exiles are planning the overthrow the tribes. Grouping together and living somewhere in the peaks near the PineBramble tribe, these cats prey on rats and mice along with the very occasional vulture. BloodLust is described as a cat of pitch black with blood red eyes, though not many who have seen her, (unless they are of the KillDeer group), have come back to their own tribes alive to describe her.
