A ragtag group of loners, rouges, and former kittypets band together to form a clan in the planes. The damaged and the hopeful. Little do they know the mycellium that lurk below the earth, and how deep it's roots grow.
Hello! This is my Clangen blog, it mostly will follow that happens with the clangen rng, but will also unfurl the mystery about what lurks beneath the soil in these strange lands...
This will be rather gritty, and realistic, as far as clangen goes- so this will be full of unknown future horrors. Stick around to see what happens!

Leaf fall is on the horizon, and DeepClan does their best to shake off the events of the past moon.
Everyone is uneasy, but still hopeful for the future, gathering herbs and catching prey while the trees are still green. Fawnpaw and Figpaw train diligently under their respective mentors Dovepelt and Rowanstem, hoping to serve their clan in these uncertain times.
Spiderstar finally met the day when his confidence became the death of him. Despite Ryeflows warnings of the strange dog, Spiderstar went on patrol alone in the early morning.
He encountered a dog that seemed covered in filth, smelling of something putrid and earthy. It was relentless, but oddly enough upon his death it stood up straight, and simply left him to drag himself home.
He has to hope that the darkness in the forest has taken what it desired from him, and that his clan will be left alone.
At the gathering this moon, he sought out that medicine cat who warned him about the land at the first gathering- but they were nowhere to be found.
Everyone needs to forgive the inconsistency in how these pages are drawn btw- still figuring out how I want this whole thing to look and this blog is my first time drawing cats in my whole art career. Not to mention my first comic(ish) thing also! So bear with me.
Early on this moon, Ryeflow saw a strange dog while on patrol with Oakgaze- rather afraid of dogs, she was the first to call that they turn around, as to not catch its attention. On their way back home, Oakgaze got tangled up in some rather persistent roots, and dislocated her leg, having to struggle back home while leaning on Ryeflow.
When they returned to camp, Ryeflow was insistent that this was no normal dog. She was gently dismissed by Spiderstar, who is far more concerned about the injured warrior than any 'strange' dog.
Fawnkit follows right after his brother in apprenticeship, now known as Fawnpaw. He's apprenticed to Dovepelt, training to become a mediator!
Spiderstar welcomes the calm of this month, finally fully settling into their home. He almost has the mind to dismiss what that medicine cat from BleakClan had said- the land seems healthy and plentiful this Greenleaf, how could it possibly be a corrupting force?
He watches how his clan grows this past month, pleased with its progress and hopeful for the future.
Deepclan continues to settle into their new home. Oakgaze's kits grow fast, Figkit graduating to Figpaw, apprenticing under Rowanstem, due to his affinity with her- not to mention he was practically apprenticed to her already with how much he helps her deliver herbs around camp. Figpaws little brother, Fawnkit, is not far behind.
Tensions seem high with FlashClan, while Ryeflow and Oakgaze were patrolling the border, a FlashClan member taunted Ryeflow, causing her to hurl insults right back. If Oakgaze wasn't there, it would have most certainly been a full blown fight.
The first moon is spent gathering herbs and hunting prey, feeling out the lines of Deepclans newfound territory. Upon the first gathering, Spiderstar has been introduced to the surrounding clans, getting a full view of whom may be friend or foe. First they meet Bleakclan, a small and odd clan, but mellow. Then Flashclan, a slightly larger, more menacing clan, that seems to be piloted by the strangest of bloodthirsty behavior. And finally they meet Doeclan, a gracious but mite clan.
During the gathering, a terrifyingly old medicine cat from Doeclan who refused to identify themself, warned Spiderstar that there is something sinister beneath the earth. If there is any hope to escape its depths they must become strong, or leave, lest they succumb to its influence. He brushed them off, but is shaken by their words.
A ragtag group of loners, rouges, and a former kittypet band together. Together, they are looking to escape their former lives of solitude to pursue the valliant lives that can only be led within a warrior clan. Deepclan finds a little spot in the open plains, digging warrens in the ground and spending their first few days getting acquainted with their surroundings.
The nearby clans are strange, and small, just like their own. No one has made any aggressive moves so far, but the air seems tentative.
Spiderstar - formerly a loner known as Spider, Spiderstar has easily taken the mantle of leader, by the urging of his clan mates. His confident nature and boastful language makes others tend to hang off his words, and follow his orders. He's hopeful that he can lead this small clan to greatness with the help of his friend and deputy Dawnblaze.
Dawnblaze - formerly a kittypet known as Gravy, follows her friend Spiderstar in this new venture. Born male, she was neutered like most who live with twolegs are- while many toms would be devastated, she didn't entirely mind. She escaped from her home many moons ago, finding Spiderstar wandering in the grasses beyond the fence. They've been inseparable friends ever since.
Rowanstem - having wandered her entire life, Rowanstem has seen many things, known many cats, and made many friends. For a long time, she was content to flitter between friends and foes, taking food from twolegs in her old age, never sticking to one place. But as of late she has decided she is done being so lonely and fighting, leaning into this group as their medicine cat.
Dovepelt - Dovepelt is not the brightest, and it's by his charisma alone that he's made it as long as he has. He's spent most of his life up in trees, finding it odd that his clan has settled in holes in the ground. Not to mention he doesn't like this place... the energy is odd. But it's not really his decision, and he'd rather be here with his newfound clan, than alone again.
Oakgaze - Oakgaze has always been rather compassionate, helping others when she can. It was when she found her two adoptive kits, Figkit and Fawnkit, shivering and cold in a wet dilapidated bag, did she realize she couldn't stay by herself anymore. By the grace of Spiderstar, she was let into the clan with her kits, and is happy to serve as a warrior.
Ryeflow - Ryeflow is not the most personable of cats, having seen how horrible being alone can really be. She carries her scars with shame, keeping to herself more often than not. She's a warrior, and that is enough for her, focused more on her duty to her clan than anything about herself, or her past. She carries a dog tooth around her neck as a reminder, and answers no questions about it.
