The Cold Season was brutal on all. It tore through the Clans with no prior warning, ravaging the territory with harsh, blistering snowstorms and such heavy snowfall you couldn't see a lick of land underpaw. It grew so cold you would catch frostbite if outside for only a few minutes. Illness spread like wildfire, and the death toll rose quickly, unable to be tempered by the augurs and their dwindling herbs. The Clans distanced themselves, closing off from each other as they sulked in their own misery and death.
One augur, however, they grew discontent with their leader's inaction. Starclan was punishing them, and they had to act quick to right their wrongs. They went to their leader and urged them to host another Gathering, to bring the Clans together under Silverpelt's shine, where Starclan would see them once more. The leader was hesitant; they had not held a Gathering in many moons, not with so many cats sick and the weather being worse than ever. Still, they gave in to their augur's pleas and made the trek.
When they got to the Clearing, they found a small collection of the other Clan's warriors and apprentices there, the leader looking haggard but unphased. It was a cold, miserable Gathering in near-whiteout conditions, and for a moment the augurs had almost lost hope; but then, the blizzard eased and the clouds parted, revealing an array of shimmering blues and greens they had never seen in the sky before.
The augurs said it was a sign, that Starclan's Lights deemed it such. The Clans must stand together rather than apart to pull through the season and survive.
So they did. The Clans worked together to stay afloat, sending mediators bustling back and forth to share news and the measly herbs they could spare. They held Gatherings, even as their member counts fluctuated. In the end, they made it through, and the Newleaf following the Cold Season was one of prosperity and health.
It has been eight years now since the Cold Season, and the Clans are still struggling to find their footing after such a catastrophic Leafbare. While they have not seen a winter nearly as bad as the season of legend, they are still wary, not quite over the horrors of the past.
The Clans have found peace now, but how much longer until the past catches up to them ? How much longer until the shaky serenity they've established is shattered ?
CATS OF THE FROZEN WASTE is officially open for new members ! After months of working on this, I'm beyond ecstatic to finally bring my team's creation to life and bring a unique new experience to the Warriors text-based roleplay scene.
We offer:
A 16+ semi-literate to literate community that encourages growth.
Inclusivity towards all, and a welcoming, friendly staff team.
Two unique Clans; Evergreenclan and Ermineclan, both with two unique ranks & expansion on existing ones and their own nuances in culture and views on the world around them.
Distinct Clan worldbuilding and the opportunity for your cats to make a real dent.
Expansive, fleshed out lore, religion and more that is always being expanded on.
Flexible character creation and no 'main character' plots.
Simple behind-the-scenes roleplay systems and easy to track progression, as well as an active OORP scene with many channels to bond with others through and fun miscellaneous bots.
& more !
We are freshly opened and thus all of our HRs are currently available to be applied for ! Our roleplay is planned to start once all spots are full and we have a few cats in both Clans. While we are a 16+ community that intends on exploring darker themes in the plot and such, we do not allow any sort of NSFW content to be roleplayed.
The team here at COTFW truly look forward to all those who join us, and we can't wait to see how your cat's story unfolds !

Eight years after the Cold Season, the Clans finally feel some sense of normalcy.
New leadership have taken their place, and with it, a time of peace. Prey is running well for the Clans, and the season is pleasant, if a little chilly. Though the horrors of the past are still seared into many of the older cats' minds, healing has been easier and easier, and many have found their serenity.
Yet, unspoken tensions stir beneath. The mistakes of past leaders cling like burrs, and as Leaffall draws to an end the Clans grow nervous of the impending winter. Their cruel history weighs on them, heavy and terrifying.
No one is willing to say it yet, but the ice is growing thin. How much longer until normalcy fades, until the ice breaks and history repeats itself?
Sorry it's been a while without an update, but HRs have been selected and our first plotline has been released ! Roleplay is fully open and everyone has been having a blast fleshing out their characters. Thank you all for helping us get to this point !
We have a LOT in store for this roleplay, so feel free to follow for more updates, and maybe reblog if you like our content? Helps us a lot! We are so very excited to see how things progress and meet all the fun new people and characters over the course of our roleplay :]
And, for anyone peeking around curious on if we are still accepting members - we always will be ! Our server link can be found in our Pinned post, or you can send us an Ask ! And for those who worry about making characters or who struggle with creating kitties from scratch, fear not, we have LOTS of adoptables currently up for grabs ! If you find it easier to hop into roleplay with a premade character, you're in luck, so come get them while you can !
Other than that, sit back and have fun, and welcome to Arc I, Plot I; Thin Ice. 🎉
Roleplay Banner made by one of our lovely server members, P ! They roleplay Cobaltstripe and Nightsear.
HRs (& normal ranks for both Clans) are still open ! We'd love to see some more faces :]
Be sure to check our Pinned post for more information on our server as well as our invite if you're curious ! (And if you like our premise, consider reblogging ? Gets us recognized and helps us out a ton !)
We have so many fun things in store, let's get this party started !
We’re super close to finally starting RolePlay in the server! Whose excited? Because I’m excited. Can’t wait to see what y’alls creative minds do!!
All we have left to do really is get our HR’s approved, set up a starting point and then we’re ready to roll. (I promise we’ll stop putting off HR approval soon, lots of us were likely finishing up school in the last few days, that can be stressful!)
If we’ve got folks from the server that follow us, what are some RP things you’re looking forward to doing the moment you get to?
