SurgeClan - “Weather The Battering Storm”

Similar to ShoalClan, SurgeClan lived by the ocean, though their territory was significantly rockier and had an abundance of cliffs.  The other Clans regarded them as belligerent, blunt, and arrogant.  SurgeClan argued that you had to be tough to survive, and those were simply traits that came with being tough.

SurgeClan named themselves for the rough waters they lived near.  Where ShoalClan's waters were shallow and calm, SurgeClan's were deep and treacherous.  Due to how dangerous the waters were, SurgeClan cats made no effort to learn how to swim.  Instead they focused on scaling the stone cliffs while being buffeted by the harsh winds.  Their motto, “Weather The Battering Storm”, is a reflection of their toughness and immovability.

SurgeClan's trade was seabird eggs, rock sage, chamomile, and wild garlic.  They often traded these for TangleClan’s rabbit pelts, enjoying the warmth that the soft fur provided against the harsh winds of their territory.

SurgeClan left their dead at the bottom of the cliffs, believing that their souls would be reborn as albatrosses.  They couldn’t be buried or their new bodies would be unable to take flight, choking on dirt and water until they died a second time.

The last known leader of SurgeClan was Ploverstar.  Her deputy and healer were Coastslate and Shoredusk respectively.  There are no known SurgeClan survivors at this time.
