The Duke and Duchess are descended from a long line of royalty, and currently reign with an iron fist over the dark and bloodied land that once belonged to the Clans. However, those days long since ended with the rise of Duke Sithis's grandfather, Duke Ferdinand, and his ruthless warriors.
Convincing his Stepmother to finish off Duke Ferdinand's successor and his own father, Duke Sithis soon took control with her beside him, impregnated with his future kits. They will continue the annual tradition of the Bloodfests, battles between ten specially chosen cats in which only one comes out alive with eternal glory.
Summer has arrived! The air is hot, and cats-- particularly dark-furred ones-- should watch out for heat stroke. Prey is plentiful on royal lands, but is rather scarce outside of the Duke's domain. Outsiders struggle to feed themselves, but even the Slaves and Tainted eat well.
Temperatures range from 75-100 degrees.

Estimated time that POC will open its paws to all of you once again is: June 1st. Please, bear with us, join, help! The more of you help us reach our goal, the sooner we can open our hearts to you!
Here's where the rules are found, as well as the basic information you need to understand what goes on here. Basically, this board is a vital visit before you can really get situated.
Now that you've learned what you need to know, to keep up with things around the site, check back here often. You never know what could be placed here. Activity checks are probably the most important. Among contests and auditions as well!
New here? Time to socialize a little bit and get to know the other members! Here's where you can meet everyone, introduce yourself, and greet others. Don't be shy. Here we are all nice to one another. Go crazy~
The name kind of says it all. Here you can post your sites, free of guilt. If you wish to request an affliate. Fill out the specified form, and everything will be hunkydory.
Hahah, get it? Get it, writers, block? Haha, I'm funny. Anyway, This is your one stop shop for anything dealing with writing. Poetry, graphics shop, stories. A place to vent, or rant. Come here, we'll listen to everything.
Ready for a bit of a break from roleplaying cats? Or maybe you've just got a mental blockage that needs clearing. Well, come on in here and post away with whatever other genres, realms, and realities you'd like!
Any threads posted by former members, threads that have not been replied to in a month or more, and all abandoned threads are moved here. This is also a record of finished threads.
Have to be inactive for a while? Be it family issues, travel, moving to a farm without internet and being promised repeatedly for exactly five months that a man will be out to install it... undisclosed or whatever, let us know. We'll be sure to excuse you if we spring an activity check. Include the amount of time you'll be gone as accurately as possible, please.
To role-play, you've got to come here to make a cat. Follow the form and standards and you should do fine. Create a new clan member and add your own little touch to them. A password is needed to access this board. Read the rules and you'll find it.
Here you may roleplay cats that have not yet been accepted, see how you like their personalities, what needs to be changed. This board may also be used to roleplay interactions between characters off the record, perhaps test out a relationship you're unsure of.
Another important board when it comes to socializing. Does your cat seek love, friendship, an enemy? Post it up here. Adopting cats out, mini-plots, and anything else you would need for your cats can be found here. Set up a thread and plot away!
Situated in the dense center of the forest, this area has a habit of turning most downpours into a steady rain. The close-growing trees make quick travel difficult, but it is the most well-suited area to train future fighters in the annual "Bloodfests".
The steady, healthy rivers in this area make it the perfect spot for fishing and crafting. Although, The Duke has been known to use it as a resting spot for himself and his family.
Primarily where the slaves are worked and the prisoners kept, this land is ugly and mostly barren. It has been the scene of numerous deaths - often caused by rebellion against his majesty, The Duke.
There are few to none who have seen the plains of StarClan or left a footprint on its face. This beautiful utopia watches the clans below as cats that once were relax, enjoying the peace that comes with death.
Not all deceased cats lived life to the fullest, or as well as they could have. Some lived only to spread chaos and pain, and these cats have been banished here. Watch your tail, you may lose it.
What once was the Gathering Glade is now a bloody battlefield and the location that hosts the annual "Bloodfests". The Duke and Duchess take great joy in sitting in the branches of the tree as they watch the competition.
You're either brave, or a fool. Here there are feilds and pastures where dogs roam freely. Watch you don't get stepped on by a cow or sheep. It's easy to get lost out here. Be wary of the loners. If the dogs don't get you, they will.
Not far from the territories is farm where loners and rogues coexist. There's plenty of living space from the barn and the cluttered shed to the rolling fields of abandoned groundhog dens. No cat is a kittypet, no matter if they stay the night or stay a lifetime. Living is easy, and hunting is optional, thanks to the kindly twolegs who make sure food is always available.
