[Here, you can read up on how this forest came to be a place for cats to come and start a-fresh.]
The clans were named after the first three cats that found this forest. All three were runaways, getting away from the horrible things in their past, whatever they were. Storm, Moon and Raven. They all became lost in the depths of the forest, and soon they ran into each other, right at the deepest and darkest part -- the heart. Nobody knows what happened then, there are stories though, and you can ask any clan elder to explain o you, but all that is important is that they decided to make this place a kind of... safe haven for those cats you must get away.
Of course, neither of the three cats had been traveling alone into an unknown area, they had brought along with them each a group of cats that had always been loyal to them, always backed them up. So, with these cats, the clans took shape: StormClan, MoonClan and RavenClan.
For the longest time, their presence in the world was unknown. That was, until a few traveling cats that had seen these clans spread the word about a safe place for those cats that need somewhere to run. A place to start over again. Of course, cats looking to go there must be warned, because this forest is no normal forest.
So, cats came. Some came because they wanted to see if the stories were true, but others came for the reason that the clans were created, so that they could run away from something that happened to them, or something that they did. Cats joined the clans, and whenever they did, the leaders gave them new names, a beginning and an ending. Of course, some cats refused to take the new names, so some of their names aren't quite the same as the others, but most cats coped and thought of it as starting over, new name, new life.
The clans grew, and grew, and the original three leaders died, letting their deputies take their place. Many, many generations have gone by from the beginning to this day. It has been to many moons to count, to many newcommers to know who was a descendent of the original cats that started in this forest, and who was a descendent of a cat that traveled here. Their blood is mixed and forever shall be. And cats will still keep on coming.
