SunClan

SunClan is an beach-dwelling ProClan set on destroying evil Anti-Clan ways, and have a reputation for being loud and full of life, creativity, parties and close ties with those they consider friends, but be wary of your step, for once provoked they can be deadly.

Territory
SunClan now resides in a small, colorful  BEACH TOWN  at the southern edges of a  TROPICAL MOUNTAIN RANGE. The town itself is nestled quaintly onto the edge of a rocky outcrop that fades into beach the further one walks. Meetings are often held in an old marketplace/town square with a fountain in the center and members tend to take up residence in the bright buildings that line the streets of the village, though they are free to choose where they would like to sleep, be it one of the houses or elsewhere. After all, there's lots to explore here! The town is also home to a large  CANAL, which then flows out to the ocean  OVER THE CLIFFSIDE. Following the canal back into the territory, it is part of a river that winds back to the mountains and into a  LAKE WITH MULTIPLE WATERFALLS, though the falls are taller than the image and below a rocky outcrop of the mountain. One of these waterfalls, when the sun is just right at dawn and dusk, lights up orange, and is often called the  SUN FALLS. From atop the outcrop above the waterfalls and lake it is possible to see most of the territory and the town in the distance, which is why it has been dubbed  SUNCLAN OUTLOOK.

Back to the south and the town, SunClan's cliff is known to have  EXTREME TIDES. And when the tide goes out twice a day, it exposes  MYSTERIOUS CRYSTAL CAVES  below the town. However, these can only be reached at low tide, and staying inside too long can cause animals to drown as they flood once more. Futher along the shore the cliffside transitions into a long stretch of  BEACH, with many  CAVES  and  COVES. One cave specifically has an isolated pool within and a hole in the top that illuminates the water below at midday. This is called the  SUNPOOL, and has special capabilities, allowing SunClan to contact Helios and ancestors. Deeper within the territory, the mountains are home to various other treasures. In the middle of the tropical range, there is an odd, gaping hole that leads down to a  STRANGE, MOSSY ABYSS  that is equally dangerous and beautiful. There is another hole in the mountains, though this is more of a  HIDDEN UNDERGROUND POOL, embelished with vines and mossy cave walls. While astounding in beauty, be careful, for once in it's difficult to get out!

Religion and Customs
SunClan's official religion is SunClan's official religion is based around the patron sun god  HELIOS. It is believed that SunClanners go to his version of heaven after death and that it is where their ancestors watch over them from. Helios protects SunClanners from a version of hell which is more like a void of darkness and evil. Supposedly the sun is how members of the heaven watch over SunClan during the day, and the stars are how they watch them at night. This also ties in with one of the territory landmarks, the Sunpool, where when the sun passes overhead it lights up a pool of water at the bottom that allows living creatures to contact the heaven members, and Helios himself. The Sunpool also allows chosen members, such as the Leader and Healers, to travel to the heaven and hell when needed. Helios directs them to give justice to those who take part in evil, in belief that that if they destroy evil and darkness in the real world, the hell void will shrink and become weak. No one in SunClan is forced to follow this religion, but it is highly encouraged!

TOKENS  are SunClan's currency system that can be earned from contests, doing certain tasks, and via earning them in  SHOPS. Anyone is free to open a shop and sell whatever they'd like, for whatever price they like! Members will often sell art, graphics, and other items. To read more about tokens and shops, click here!

On every equinox and solstice, SunClan hosts the  SUN BALL. It is a large, ally-wide party, feast, and formal dance, often accompanied by various games and/or a tournament. A Sun Ball king and queen is typically elected.

SunClanners are also encouraged to participate in the tradition of  PELT PAINTING. It is often done before going to large events, raids, and ceremonies, but the decorations may vary. For instance, pelts are often painted red and black before going into battle in an intimidation tactic. Feathers, berries, and other natural items are often used as well.

When a SunClanner dies, they are  CREMATED  so that the smoke may lift their spirit towards the sky and thus the heaven, and then their ashes are sprinkled in the sea. FUNERALS  are often large, clan-wide events, however they are anything but somber. They are most often large parties in celebration of the SunClanner's life, not mourning of their death.
