Welcome to Gaia! ::

So, you want to create a clan? Think you have what it takes to be a good clan leader? :3 Then post your application! However, please take note:

- You must have at least four members to be considered a clan. They must be at least four different owners, too (IE, you can't own all four members!).
- While RP is not strictly mandatory for clan leaders, if I don't see you posting in about two months, or something, your lands will be up for grabs to whoever wants to settle there (former members of the clan have first pick over whether they want to take over or not!)
- Character CAN die, if you want them to! It makes it more interesting, especially if the offspring take over the clan, or something. XD
- Chieftan and Cheiftess of a clan don't necessarily have to be mates. They can be brother and sister, or cousins, or whatever. <3 And you don't have to have both of them to be considered a clan -- sometimes just a Cheiftess can rule, sometimes just a Chieftan.
- Species generally ALWAYS branch off to be with their own species. For example, you will not find a yeeshu and a rishlan together in a clan! However, you CAN have a rishlan and a mountain rishlan together, and they can interbreed.
- Conflicts between clans are fun. XD Feel free to have them! Especially since all three of these creatures are predatory. wink
- Once you're approved by a mod, you're free to start setting up your territory! No more than five threads for the moment, please. biggrin

Clan's Geography:
To the west of the Ivory Meadows runs a powerful, raging, river. They call the river Yahto, which means Blue River. Half-way down the length of the river is a large rock formation with a sparkling blue waterfall. Behind the waterfall lies hidden a large cavern with many small nitches and grooves. This is the home of the Tallulah, an all canine pack of wild animals. To reach their home they must leap rocks to reach the cavern's mouth; hence the name of their clan. In the winter, the cavern's pools of water freeze and crystalize into beautiful patterns and odd shapes. The light bounces off the ice and gives the entire cavern a blueish tint. The temperatures are moderate all year around; perfectly fine for the canine's heavy coats.

Clan's History:
Not so long ago, the worst snowstorm ever to have crossed the sky was overpowering the lands. The inhabitants had to scurry for cover and try to brave out the storm. Yet two creatures did not. Coming opposite points on the compass, these two weary travelers pushed their way through the strong winds. One, looking for a home he never knew but in his dreams, the other searching for a fine meal and land to hunt.

Aslan was an adolescent Ahtun with the power of site. He had grown up in a far place, but he did not call it home. Every night his dreams were of sparkling blue walls and the constant sound of rushing water. He knew this place was important and he was meant to go there. So when he was of age, he left the only world he had ever known and began his trek east.

Clare was an adult Ahtun with a taste for the hunt. She came from a lush paradise known for it's vast amounts of game. She grew up alone, since her people abandoned their young to fend for themselves. Then one day, a powerful force struck the land and turned the green grass to sand, the lush forests to ash, and the cool winds to harsh arid gales. With all the game gone or dead, Clare was forced to leave her lands. Her heart told her to head west, and so she did.

As it is told, Aslan walked miles through the snow, forcing himself to keep going in search of the place of his dreams. He kept this up for hours until, at last, he collapsed onto the soft, fresh-snow covered ground. There he lay until Clare found him. Clare would have missed him if fate had not parted the skies at the exact moment when she glanced his way. Being bigger than the smaller creature, she lifted him off the ground and continued on the hunt.

As she reached a raging river, he begun to stir. Clare placed him on the ground as his eyes opened. "I know that sound..." he said as he got up. They both looked up the river to see the beautiful waterfall that was dominating the sound of the forest. As if their gaze penetrated it's life force, the waterfall opened briefly before them, showing a sparkling blue cavern. Racing like there was no tomorrow, Aslan ran to the waterfall. Clare, not fully understanding, chased after him.

He lept from stone to stone across the river until he was close enough to it's mouth to jump inside. He disappeared from Clare's vision. Weary of danger, Clare looked around the waterfall before approaching it. She found an entrance to the cave just beside the waterfall. You had to leap the stones on the raging river to actually be able to see the entrance. Leaping after Aslan, she entered the cavern.

Inside, she found him just sitting there on his hindquarters. "I am home..." she heard him whisper.

Clare stayed with Aslan and begun a family which, after a few generations, grew to become the Tallulah clan.

Clan's Ruling (IE, how does everything work? How are it's different members picked? What is their philosophy on life?):
Tallulah is an Ahtun clan. In this clan, everyone has a say as to what is going on and what they are to do in situations. The chief is chosen based on his or her ability to sway the crowd to their perspective. Once a decision has been reached, each and every member must comply with the majority ruling, even if they had been opposed to it in the first place, they must do what was decided upon. If they do not, they are kicked out of the clan. New members are chosen if their phsyical and/or mental capabilities can enhance aspects of the clan. These Ahtun try to live normal, peaceful lives. They are neither good nor evil, but neutral. They live with the land, not on it, nor do they dominate it.

So you have to have the clan members (four) ahead of time. sweatdrop

Clan's Geography: Far off the Cliffs of Tehnari Clifs high in the sky live a clan of secluded Ahtun. These Ahtun are unlike any others because they can fly. Their Territory is only accessible from taking flight from the edge of the Tehnari Cliffs. Their shelter is situated onntop the clouds, sustained by the magic of the clans Shaman it just looks like a cave made from clouds. Their Territory is called the Cave of Clouds (very original neh? wink ) They are often seen flying from their cloud to the ground to gather food or to socialize with the other clans.

Clan's History: Long ago a young Ahtun was blessed with wings of angels. He flew into the sky where he could watcxh below the goings on of the other Ahtun dogs, he tried to help as often as he could but he could not do this alone, He realised he must get help. So he asked the Gods to give him the power to bless some other selected dogs to help him in his tasks. He made his selection and gave each one different attributes and powers. These are the dogs you see here. The Angel winged Ahtun has long since departed this world but there have been rumors of a sister of his around.

Clan's Ruling (IE, how does everything work? How are it's different members picked? What is their philosophy on life?): The Winged Ahtun of the Ailes clan often Vote together on decisions but the Chieftan usually has the final word. They usually always accept dogs that are blessed with wings and have a significant amount of knowledge to them. The dogs they enitiate into the clan must also be willing to help others. This is the main reason for the Winged Ahtun clan. They are like watchers. The Winged Ahtun beleive that there is always good in someone and always try to find it. All winged Ahtun are welcome to enter the clan though there is a few questions that the Chieftan wil ask and a small enitiation ceremony.

M'kay, Vashtya you have the go-ahead to create your clan's lands. :3

Yours looks good so far, Teckno, but I'll wait 'till you finalize eet.
