WELCOME TO BLACKTHORN!
This role play centers around two clans, WillowClan and BoarClan, who dwell within the vast lake territories of Blackthorn. Our role play is literate, semi-realistic (realistic characters, but some spirit interactions), aiming to be active and long term, and beautifully mapped with a lag adjustable map pack.
Here in Blackthorn, we aim to offer a community where people feel entirely welcome and included. We aim to allow more freedom in characters, without ridiculous constrictions that are hard to follow. We aim to give a classic warrior cats vibe from our beloved books, the ability to have wholesome interactions and interactions that mean life and death, the Stars and the Dark Forest. We also aim to sprinkle a bit of our own unique touches to traditions, backstories, and more, whilst still maintaining that classical vibe. Generally, we want a place for everyone to have the chance to make friends and play out wholesome storylines with their characters, whilst also having the option of participating in our unique plot involving spirits, a dark secret shared between the two clans, and a curse.
But for now, that's all we'll reveal. Because here at Blackthorn, we believe in allowing users to realize and fully experience the upcoming storyline through their own joining and participation. Our plotline has secrets, secrets that shall be revealed with time and our growing member base.
Before we go on to joining information, let us go over the basics of either clan!
BOARCLAN
Started by Boarstar many years ago, BoarClan prides themselves on accepting only the strongest and bravest warriors, and nothing short of that. They believe a true warrior is strong and belongs to the wild and deep forests. A true warrior is unbothered by the feeling of water and leaves on their fur (which in turn makes them kind of stinky and dirty!) and is instead only concerned with the growing unity and sheer brawn of their clan. They will accept a kittypet, but reluctantly, and may force them to train longer even if they're an adult. BoarClanners are elusive and smaller in number to their sister clan, but they are much larger and even sometimes more well fed.
A BoarClanner's special tradition is an evening of spars and brawls, wrestlemania but cat edition
WillowClan has a strong distaste for BoarClan's way of life, but respects it. The biggest discourse BoarClan has with WillowClan, is BoarClan is not against killing a severe code breaker, a threat or a traitor. They never needlessly kill and only do so for the protection of their clan, but WillowClan refuses to kill and believes this to be a disgrace. At this point, BoarClan has agreed to disagree with them.
Currently lead by Quillstar / RustedRaven.
WILLOWCLAN
Dwelling in the grassy, rocky, two-leg inhabited wilds of Blackthorn is WillowClan. They believe a warrior is wise, graceful, even to some extent "neat." Although some are more stubborn than others, WillowClanners tend to be more thoughtful and less impulsive. They do not actively spar or brawl each other, though still sees defending their borders as highly important; any scent of stinky fishy BoarClanners and the leader will march right up and spit on their dirty fur! Well, not really, but there could be drama at the gathering.
WillowClan accepts kittypets with a warm welcome and does not enforce strong training on them, just normal apprentice training. Because of their welcoming to kittypets, they have grown to larger numbers. WillowClan tends to be quite nocturnal, given that they live so close to two legs and must be concealed.
Almost all WillowClanners see BoarClanners as dirty, fishy, impulsively violent cats, but this is because WillowClan all in all is somewhat snooty and thinks they're above everyone else. They speak poorly of BoarClan, but not to their faces.
Currently lead by ___star / Leda .

If you're still not convinced this roleplay is for you, then I'll leave you with some map screenshots! Fun fact, these maps have been tested and little to no lag was reported, but just in case we will soon have a lag help version of the map.
