Clan (Warriors)

In the fictional series of Warriors, there are four groups of cats, called Clans, that inhabit the forest. The four Clans are ThunderClan, WindClan, RiverClan, and ShadowClan.

These Clans are named for the type of landscape where they live in the old forest, although in the new forest some of the Clans no longer inhabit the same type of lands. ThunderClan lives next to a "Thunderpath" (cat word for a road, due to the noise made by cars). RiverClan lives next to a river. WindClan lives on open moor, and hence there is much wind (they are also the swiftest of the Clans). ShadowClan lives on marshes and thick forest, and hence there it is dark there. It could also be argued that there is a fifth Clan, StarClan, although they do not inhabit the earthly forest. StarClan is the massive Clan of the spirits of dead Clan cats, being much like the Nirvana or Heaven of Warriors. StarClan gives the living cats advice and sometimes prophecies, among other things.
