ASHCLAN
As you climb higher into the heights of the lands inactive volcano, you can actually feel the oxygen get thinner. Your lungs ask for more as you feel a slight sting in your chest, but you push that aside. In the clouds of this almost barren place of volcanic rock and aged cinder dwells felines - felines as fiery as the insides of their volcano home. Together, they make up AshClan, a clan that rose and adapted to an environment that many didnt find suitable. Are you eager to join their ranks?
TERRITORY AND CAMP
As previously mentioned, AshClan was the only group of cats that took on the challenge of trying to survive off the volcano. Their territory consists of volcanic rock that, ages ago, was once scolding magma. Alas, its hardened now, but it certainly created odd formations. Some of the rock still looks as if its melting, but any AshClan cat can easily take a small peek and tell you if its cool enough to tread. The rock leaves a black dust upon everything near, leaving the paws of cats dark and dirty looking. A few scrawny, small trees dot themselves scarcely around the territory, but more commonly among plant life is the presence of ferns, small, bushy twigs decorated with bundles of red berries, and a wide array of succulents living off their water reserves, usually with clumps of special grasses near them. Patches and beds of flowers that lay low to the ground prefer the more gravelly areas, and in some parts even mounds of greenery build up in height rather than spreading out.
PLANT LIFE, IN MORE DETAIL AND PICTURES

Within the sides of the volcano are tunnels and open spaces carved out by lava that was hot long ago. These series of tunnels make up the housing for most of the members of the clan, and there isnt really no special groupings. Everyone is placed where they want to be. High positions, however, have den markers that tell which is theirs. Usually, the leader will have a large, mossy but short long standing upright with feathers and a single, rounded stone on top of it. The deputies dens will have just a smaller moss log, this time laying down, with a pebble on top of it. Medicine cats and their apprentices dens have entrances adorned with large banana leaves taken from the base. Often the MCA's are sent out to get fresh new ones when the leaves become old and dry. Normal apprentices are in charge of making sure all the occupied dens have decent bedding, consisting of leaves, once plant mounds, or moss.
RANKS AND CURRENT HIGH POSITIONS
A LEADER is the highest ranking cat in the clan. They are the top tier of authority and are in charge over everyone. It is part of code to obey their commands. TBA, played by TBA
A DEPUTY is the second most powerful cat, under the leader position. They have some authority, but not like the leader does; nor does the code say you must fully obey their orders. Of course, that doesnt mean you arent advised to listen to them. When the leader either dies or retires, the deputy moves up into their place.

A MEDICINE CAT is the healer of the clan. They are the wisest of the clan and are to be treated highly with the utmost respect. As well as healing, they also act as a guiding figure for the leader. Unlike in some clans, disabled cats dont have to become a medicine cat if it goes against their wishes.

A MEDICINE CAT APPRENTICE is the apprentice of the medicine cat, the healers in training. Most MCAs are taught in the art of trading; since the volcano doesnt provide as much herb variety as they need, they often set out on trips to trade for their supply.
