Rangers

The Rangers of River-lands are the backbone of the Colony. Rainfall is proud of her Rangers above all other Career Paths. While every role in the colonies is important, everyone knows that it’s the Rangers who truly make the Colony strong! They do the majority of the hunting, the patrolling, protecting, and even more importantly, they are the task force who will make the Alliance submit to Rainfall’s eventual reign over all. 

Good Rangers also know how to follow orders and keep their opinions to themselves. They just need to trust Rainfall and her Council to do what’s best for the whole Colony. This has created a state where every Ranger thinks carefully about what they say and who they say it to.

Only the strongest cats deserve to call themselves Rangers of River Colony! United under Rainfall’s vision, they’ll bring about a new age to Alliance!

Skyfall Art-ober Day #11: Relevant Sky-kin Family Tree

Took a break from new designs today to instead make a family tree for the characters I’ve posted over the last few days. I left out Sedgecloud’s kits and Silverblaze’s kits, but they’ll get designs over the next few days. Birdflight and Cloudstorm will get full body designs as well.

Quick reminder of canonical equivalents: Cloudstorm = Cloudstar, Orchidbloom = Spottedpelt, Lichenshade = Gorseclaw

See okay idk if I missed it but June getting her head crunched in because she stood behind a horse feels so..wrong to me? I think it’s totally possible she was trampled, obviously, horses are big and dangerous when frightened. But she was a horse trainer. She needed to stab the horse in the frog, I’m assuming.

I didn’t spend all that long grooming horses and I still know damn well how to pick up a horses foot to pick it. She would have stood to Silverblaze’s side and picked up her foot.

Like. It doesn’t change anything, Silverblaze still tramples her and cracks her skull like a tootsie pop but hmmmg accuracy.

Who is silverblaze?

silverblaze, now silverstar is a silver tabby from RiverClan. He was the deputy, and was a fresh warrior when suncloud was just apprenticed. He swiftly climbed the warrior rank, gaining popularity both with riverclan and with thunderclan. He was a sort of politician and smooth talker. He proposed a more steady alliance between thunderclan and riverclan. His own motives in mind. When Riverclan’s deputy retired, Silverblaze took the rank. 

A few moons after Thunderclan being backed down, his leader lost his last life, and he became Silverstar. He was furious with Suncloud for destroying his potential empire, and the two never really talked again. It was hard on Suncloud because she saw a lot of Silverblaze when they were younger, both being the deputy potential. She really did love him, but she does her best to avoid him now.

River Colony Family Tree-Shifting Roots

Did Silverblaze ask Rainfall to choose her own name? I noticed that her mom's name is Blazeheart, and I was curious if Silver was brave enough to ask Rainfall to choose her own name in honor of her "missing" mother, or if Rainfall choose the name as a warning to Orangebrook and maybe Silverblaze if she knew what happened to her mom?

Silverblaze’s name was definitely chosen to honor her mother, Blazeheart, yes.

The disappearance of Blazeheart was one of the first incidents of 'the missing' so Rainfall played it off as though she had nothing to do with it. The naming was more of a cover to show that Rainfall too had mourned the loss of Blazeheart!

Isn't she a benevolent Captain? To name Silver for the beloved Herbalist that was lost.

Skyfall Art-ober 2025 Day #5: Silverblaze, Thegn of the Thunderhearts, and Frostwing, Thegn of the Shadoweyes

Finally some designs for some characters from the actual Skyfall time period itself. I don’t think I’ve actually posted designs for this time frame of the rewrite in a long, long time.

These two are the main POV characters of the Mini-Arc I’ve been working on that takes place in the years immediately after the Skyfall. The WIP title for this arc is Silver and Frost (it’ll almost certainly get a better one later lol). Silverblaze and Frostwing are first cousins and two of the granddaughters of Cloudstorm (Cloudstar) and Birdflight. The only other thing I’ll mention for now, beyond this ask I answered not too long ago, is that they are besties turned enemies. The rest will be revealed over time and then whenever I actually get the drafts for this mini arc cleaned up.

“We were both wronged, Frostwing! Why aren’t you on my side?!”

“Because I actually care about my cats! You only care about your delusional revenge fantasy!”
