Welcome to
Shadowclan
"Few are welcome here, in our world of secrets and darkness. We are a Clan of cunning and cleverness, a Clan well suited to the shadows of the cold north wind. No other Clan can walk the paths of night like we do. Other Clans may be faster or stronger, but we are the most dangerous warriors: fierce, proud, and independent. We are ruthlessly willing to do what it takes to protect our great Clan. There won't be any softhearted alliances here! ShadowClan will always be the dark heart of the forest."

Territory
Land Description
Shadowclan lives to the northeast of Fourtrees in a damp, swampy territory. The land has few trees, so cover is scarce. Shadowclan cats hunt mainly lizards and frogs, although a rat turning up on the fresh-kill pile is not unheard of. Shadowclan has the smallest amount of land and the least prey, so they learn to use what they have available to them.
Landmarks
- Carrion Place
- Thunderpath and Thunderpath Tunnel
- Burnt Sycamore
One such case is the Carrion Place, located to the west of the Shadowclan camp. Here, the clan catches rats in the harsh winters, sometimes also diseases that the medicine cats have to treat.
To the south of the camp is Thunderclan territory, but to get there, you must cross the thunderpath. Luckily, there is a tunnel underneath the path that the cats are able to use to go to Thunderclan.
The Burnt Sycamore serves as the clan's training area. This sycamore was long since struck by lightening, becoming "burnt," but this tree is known throughout Shadowclan territory and beyond. It is here that apprentices learn to stalk.
Camp
The Shadowclan camp is in a marshy hollow, surrounded by brambles. To gain entrance to the camp, you must first go through the thorn tunnel making up the entrance. Inside, you will find the nursery, which is shielded by thorns and the warrior's den, which is hidden under a bramble patch. The leader's den is found under the roots of a large oak tree, and the medicine den is a cave beneath two boulders. The leader calls meetings from a large, smooth stone in the camp's clearing.
Rules
In-Character Rules
[li]Follow the warrior code [source]
1. Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
2. Do not hunt or trespass on another Clans' territory.
3. Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.
4. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the Elders.
5. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
6. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
7. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

10. A gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time.
11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. This is one of the most commonly broken rules, with many Clans crossing boundaries to catch prey or apprentices not acknowledging the boundaries.

13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
