When prey starts returning in abundance after the cold season, and the weather starts to warm, the younger warriors are sent on a mission to catch as much prey as possible from dawn to sunset. Whatever they bring back is shared in a big feast for all the clan to relax and enjoy after a hard cold season.
Younger warriors have to visit the peak at least once before they become seniors, to visit the graves of past important cats. Here they receive a vision from one of the said cats, thanking them for their service and welcoming them to the rank. These cats do not necessarily reside in the Stars, but have helped the clan along its way in the past and hold special importance to its ancestory.
Healer apprentices also have to visit the Clan Of Wanderers at the Peak before they become full healers to get their three lives from the Clan of Wanderers, as well as leaders for their nine lives.
After the current leader dies, the senior warriors will decide who will next take over leadership, as there is no such thing as a deputy. After the healer speaks to the Clan of Wanderers and is in agreement with the senior warriors, the announcement will be made and the chosen cat will take over. The senior warriors all basically hold the same status as a deputy, as it is earned with age and experience (plus the current senior warriors liking you) rather than picked by the leader.
The body is carried to Wanderers Peak, where it is buried depending on the cats rank in the clan when they died.

The bottom of the mountain
If a cat has disgraced the clan, or been deemed unfit to travel to the stars, the body isnât buried; but has rocks tied to its tail and/or legs using vines and is dropped into the Great Lake. This is believed to prevent them from being able to travel to the stars forcefully of their own accord, to sentence them to an eternity of trying to find their way out of the dark depths of the lake as punishment.
In stories told from elder to elder, it is said that instead of exile they used to do this to live cats for the same crimes, maybe even less.
Tall Proud Poppy and Storm Whirling Above kitted. Due to Stag refusing to allow Poppy medicine and prey from the prey pile, because she took a kittypet mate, two of the kits died this week. Poppy and Storm have named the remaining kits Rising Of Sun, Bumblebee Flying High and Moon Falling Slowly. As the father of Bumble and Moon, Stag is on shaky grounds with Storm after his treatment of Poppy.
Weeks have gone by, and since then Storm and Stag's relationship has not improved at all. After the kits were old enough to survive without their mother's milk, Stag took full custody of their daughter, Moon, and refused to acknowledge his other daughter after finding out she is mute. Bumble, for the short time her mother was left alive, stayed with Storm, until she was taken in by Thistle, the medicine cat, and made medicine cat apprentice. Storm was furious of the way Stag was treating her, their daughter, and their clan - and after attempting to stand up for Sun and the elders (after Stag threatened to exile them for being weak and a burden), was killed in a fight between herself and Breeze, Stag's current mate and her sister.
Moon is currently being looked after by Breeze, Bumble by said Thistle, and Sun by the elders.
Since Storm's death, the clan has gone completely downhill. Tall Proud Poppy has also been exiled, after Stag Leaping High decided she was a traitor for taking a kittypet mate (Sunâs father.) A mysterious rogue called Mink has also joined the clan, further proving that Stags judgement is very lacking.
Months have gone since, and it is easy to see that the situation of the clan hasn't improved at all. On top of all the conflict in the clan, the water levels have risen dangerously because of the increasing levels of rainfall and the lake overflowed into the camp. Three cats drowned, and it is no secret that the clan is growing weaker - and additionally, the Stars are growing angrier.
It is rumoured that the Stars are planning on abandoning the clan after the unfortunate dark path it's current leader has driven it to. It's been weeks since the clan has successfully contacted their ancestors, and it seems that if Stag doesn't improve his ways, they will continue to be unsuccessful and left alone in the dark.
Moon was apprenticed soon after the recent harsh events to Squirrel's care. Bumble - the medicine cat apprentice - and Sun, have also officially received their status of apprenticeship after the medicine cat, Thistle, managed to persuade Stag to do so.
Fights between clan-mates and the death and leaving/exile of cats have become a regular occurrence. Berry: killed by Stag for associating herself with Sun, and sticking up for the weak. Sun and Fog: exiled for "betraying the clan" after bumping into a group of rogues. Boulder: killed by Breeze's followers in a fight. And Bumble: abandoning the clan after everything that has happened overwhelmed them. Sun and Fog have escaped the clan, seemingly never to return.
The Final Stand. Stag was defeated and killed by Moon Falling Slowly and Rising Of Sun after he and Fog Over Lake returned to challenge him; fully grown and angry. After moons of Rabbitclan struggling to survive under his dictatorship the battle was won and the remaining senior warriors decided that Moon was the next deserved and rightful leader, much to the shock of the clan. Instead of taking the position, Moon decided to pass it to Sun; as she believes Sun can build Rabbitclan up again better than she ever could, as well as being fearful of the mistrust surrounding her due to being Stags daughter by blood and her past actions. The clan is settling down, though many cats are still jumpy and fearful, as is expected. As per tradition, Stags body was dropped into the lake, so that he doesnât pass on to the Stars due to his crimes. His tyrannical reign is over.
Moons have passed since Stagâs defeat and the first few good bits of news has been announced: Fog is pregnant with the leaderâs kits, a new medicine cat and apprentice have been appointed and the former senior warrior, Dark Winters Snow, has moved to the elders den of her own accord. Things are starting to look up for the clan.
A 4-moon old kit has been found presumably abandoned by the side of the lake by a hunting patrol. It has been decided by the warriors and healers that he is to be integrated into the clan under the name âLittle Dogâ, due to his loud and outgoing nature. As he no longer needs milk, and Fog is carrying the leaders kits and needs peace, Dark Winters Snow offered to look after him in the elders den.
In other news, the medicine cat Pine had given Dusk his full name; and the clan is now blessed with two great healers. It is rumoured that they are thinking of taking Burrow as their next apprentice.
Fog gave birth to three wonderful kits, that as of yet have not been named. Senior warriors have reported rumbling noises near the no-fur nest-end of the roaring path but haven't noticed anything too off- the clan has put it down to no-furs being weird, as per usual. The loner kit, Little Dog; found abandoned by the lake moons ago has been named Dog Barking Loudly and is now an apprentice with Sun as his mentor. He has settled nicely into the clan and no longer holds any part of his loner rank.
A couple of weeks had passed and since then, Fogâs three kits have been appointed names; Cricket, Honey, and Maple - and are almost ready to begin their apprenticeship. Burrow has officially become the next medicine cat apprentice, and the clan seems to be doing better than it has in moons. Despite the upcoming cold season, prey is running swiftly.
After weeks of peace, the former Rabbitclan cat Moon has returned to the clan with news of a âprophecyâ that involves the strange monsters and noises lingering around the thunderpath. Sun had allowed the traveller to stay with her two kits, Squirrel and Tiny, for a couple of days, and together the two, alongside the healers, hope to figure out the meaning of the Wandererâs words. Sun has decided not to share the news with the clan yet, until he is sure he knows what the prophecy means, to avoid worrying his clanmates.
