Meet Brightwing!

Brightkit was born to husband and wife Galefoot and Sleetleap, alongside her brother Emberkit. Only a moon after their birth, Sleetleap was promoted to the advisor role at an unprecedented young age of 19 moons old– a feat that hasn’t been seen in any recent SedgeClan history. Sleetleap, humbled and desperate to prove the promotion just, threw herself into her work while Galefoot took over the lion’s share of raising the duo while Sleetleap settled into her new position. Galefoot was a kind and doting, if not sometimes clueless father– he didn’t always do things right, but he encouraged his kits to follow their dreams. For Emberkit, that dream was always obvious– to become the next healer of SedgeClan. Brightkit’s were a little less solidified, but ever since her mother’s promotion, there was always a silent, unspoken expectation with her– you’ll be next after me.

Sleetleap pulled strings with her peers when it was time for her kits to be apprenticed. Emberpaw was made the next healing apprentice, where Brightpaw was apprenticed to the leader at the time, Flowerstar. As their mother gained respect and notoriety among their peers, expectations of the two siblings grew. It seemed effortless for Emberpaw, who fell into healing training with immediate success– he never seemed to understand in the same way when Brightpaw spoke of the stress that came with being put on a pedestal, expected to shine above the rest. She adapted, throwing herself into her Warrior training and SedgeClan’s ideals– but the only cat who ever seemed receptive to her feelings was Galefoot, who took a less actively involved role when Sleetleap was able to step back in with her training.

Brightpaw and Emberpaw both passed their training with flying colors– Emberpaw even graced with receiving his full name early so as to be promoted alongside his sister, a reward for his exceptional talent as a healer. They were named Brightwing and Emberflight, welcomed into SedgeClan as fully-grown cats before they knew it at 12 moons old. Once Brightwing was a warrior, Sleetleap’s influence was only heightened, her mother wasting no time in guiding her to what she would need to do as a warrior to eventually find herself as an advisor, too. While Brightwing always did her best, an early promotion was not in the cards for her like it was for her mother and brother. Nevertheless, she did as her mother told her and continued being the good cat her mother always told her she was.

When Brightwing and Emberflight were 20 moons old, however, things took a turn for their family. Tensions were high on the JuniperClan border– their northern neighbors had their prey run short with a sudden famine and were in desperate need of more territory– territory that held important herb stores that SedgeClan couldn’t give up. While SedgeClan tried to find some form of resolution, JuniperClan insisted time was running out. They met at the border to discuss, but when SedgeClan was unwilling to give them the land they needed, JuniperClan attacked to get what they needed. Emberflight was killed in the dispute by JuniperClan warrior Storkstrike.

Emberflight’s death hit Galefoot and Sleetleap hard. What had once been a team turned into two despondent cats who were grieving in their own ways, Brightwing caught between them both alongside holding her own grief. The divide between her parents was made worse when Sleetleap was promoted to leader only six moons after Emberflight died. Brightwing was promoted to an Advisor role under her mother only a few short moons after that. Brightwing has been spending her days since her promotion trying her best and bouncing between two grief-stricken parents, still unrecovered from her brother’s death to this day.

Brightwing will be one of the five adoptables available in our Sedgeclan opening on July 11th.

Applications for SedgeClan are now open!

SedgeClan took immediate notice when the southern river trickled into nothing but dry riverbed, and the ocean replaced the brackish mix where it had once emptied out into their territory. Along their borders, LichenClan cats appeared to wither with their forest, and JuniperClan’s ranks started showing holes where supposedly unwavering warriors once stood. To the relief of the entire clan, calamity avoided SedgeClan and swept through their eastern neighbors instead.

SedgeClan’s territory sheltered them, held safe – though growing saltier – drinking water, delivered plenty of prey into the paws of their warriors, and gave them enough excess to be able to spare herbs and water to LichenClan. In return for the life-saving water, the mountain-dwelling clan was asked a simple favor: a healer.

Just in time too. While the drought did not affect SedgeClan directly, the nature of the territories is a constant tug of war. A mysterious illness plagues their ranks, and with the sole healer of the clan unfamiliar with the breadth of their territory's specific herbs, it has sprawled out of control. The leader and many of her warriors are unable to travel or hunt, so while the fish still swim, there's simply not enough paws to go around.

As if that were their only problem. The other clans grow desperate, and predators have begun to brave the rushing waters that protect their territory. How long can SedgeClan choose peace, before violence is chosen for them?

Prospective members will be able to apply as either one of our five adoptables or with a warrior of their own design. Adoptable applications will close at midnight on July 18th, original character applications will close at midnight on July 25th.

Hello everyone! Less than 24 hours until SedgeClan opens! At long last!!

As a final recap, here's some information worth reviewing before you begin writing your application(s)!

Potential applicants can send in two adopted applications, but can only send in one original character applications. We want you to focus on making a character that you think would be fun and engaging to play. You can only be accepted for one application, though if you get in as an adopt but also submitted an original character, we'll let you reuse that concept. All accepted applicants can make second characters once accepted into the server.

We will only be accepting warrior rank applications for original character! However, accepted applications can make kits, apprentices, warriors, or challengers for their second characters; as well as being able to apply for the second advisor position!

Adoptable applications will close on July 18th, where original character applications will close on July 25th.

Brush up on SedgeClan information, the circumstances behind the SedgeClan opening, and see previously asked questions here.

Excited for SedgeClan's opening?

MOON 3

The Gathering Tree was comfortable this moon, with enough space for cats to move freely without brushing against others, and even enjoy privacy in their conversations— a novel luxury in a space usually packed with more fur than air.

It didn't take long for each cat in attendance to individually recognize the reason for this was SedgeClan's absence. A more surprising realization for LichenClan than those who had already been snubbed at their solstice event by both clans. As awareness converged to an absolute, the present leaders decided to make their announcements.

Snakestar’s first announcement is, finally, of good news. Mintpool and Merlindive have completed their apprencticeships and become full warriors. It’s hard to tell how relieved she might be about the matter, but she allows the chant to ring to silence before continuing, more briefly, to cover other matters; predators continue to expand their range into and through the territories, and LichenClan’s status remains otherwise unchanged. She steps back without offering any further information, but at least manages to refrain from requesting assistance. This moon.

JuniperClan waited tensely as Snakestar traded places with their leader. The poisoned prey had continued to mysteriously surface, but some of the clan felt that now they had proof of foul play. Storkstar stepped forward, and raised his chin to the amassed warriors.

"My warriors still find prey around the territory, dropped dead as the grave without a mark on them. Continue to exercise caution around prey actin' strangely, and take care 'case of predators attracted t' the rot."

That's all the JuniperClan leader has to say before stepping back, and to those who feel unheard in the brushland clan, his silence on the border is deafening. A bubble of energy starts to build to a boil, and two voices cut through the Gathering's din.

Eagleflight, a young JuniperClan warrior, bounds forward with blood boiling. Her ears flattened as she took space underneath the leader's perch. "Is that all you have to say?!" She hissed, every cat around her falling silent. "We’ve been taking caution!" She howled. "Our clanmates are dead because of your lack of action!"

Emboldened by her clanmate's outcry, the prickly Lionhunt bellows in inelegant agreement. "WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?!" She springs to her feet near to the leaders already, having expected some acknowledgement of perceived crimes.

"THEY’RE MURDERING US! THEY DID THIS TO US! THE PREY IS FROM THEM AND THAT STUPID BOX OF THEIRS! THEY SIT IN THEIR FOREST SHIELDED BY THEIR FAKE SPIRITS AND YOU BECAUSE YOU WON’T DO ANYTHING!"

She lunges towards the leader's tree and Storkstar steps forward again, completely aghast. Before she can say anything to dispute the accusations, the Gathering erupts into heated arguments and fanged accusations. She balances on the backs of her paws and steps back, whispering something to Snakestar while any hope of a unified Gathering immolates before them.

Meet Sleetstar, leader of SedgeClan (Roleplayed by @ramfrost)

The best way to describe Sleetstar would be composed. The SedgeClan leader is renowned for her ability to remain neutral and unflinching to even the most stressful of circumstances. Sleetstar has seen prosperity in SedgeClan as their leader for the last 24 moons. Sleetstar is an unwavering prescence in her clan, a dedicated mate, mother, and authority. She seeks the most righteous path for not only herself, but all of her clanmates.

[pathscrossedrp]

Hello everyone! For all those who have been patiently waiting for SedgeClan to open, the time is soon to be upon us! Here to lead off introductions for the cats you will meet in the clan is none other than Sleetstar!

She is SedgeClan's stern authority and strongest devotee. Keep an eye out on the blog for the rest of the week as we introduce a couple more SedgeClan faces!

SedgeClan will be opening on July 11th at 12 Am PST!

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Paths Crossed is a casual literate roleplay based off of the Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter. The cats of JuniperClan, LichenClan, and SedgeClan must navigate a world rife with war and peace, love and hate, mystery and answers to questions that may have been better left unsaid.
