The Gods
the SOVEREIGN rulers of starclan
Overview
Reverie is an original warriors' rp, meaning there are a few elements present here that were never apart of the books. The biggest example of this would be the gods. There are three main gods, Seawind, Ashpool, and Moor-runner, and several lesser deities that are considered the 'children' of the three main gods. These lesser gods are less important, but still prominent in Ashclan culture and Seaclan myth. Each of the three main gods is celebrated during the specific season they represent, and all gods are celebrated on the final season, which is Leaf-Fall. Below more details regarding the gods and their traditions.
The Gods
The patron god of Seaclan is perhaps the oldest of the three gods, though nothing can confirm this. He is said to have founded Seaclan and begun their Monarch system by producing his own heir to rule the clan in his absence. This is, of course, nothing more than a myth but there are still those in the clan that below they possess god's blood. Seawind is one of the rulers of Starclan alongside his brother Moor-runner and his sister Ashpool.
His Children
Saltreef - goddess of fishing
Ripplereed - god of change
These were the lesser gods attributed to Seawind's creation. Both are still spoken of in myth but neither is particularly prominent in day-to-day activities.
The patron deity of Ashclan was notoriously the cruelest of the gods. She represented passion and warfare, ferocity and strength, and their is seldom a tale about her in which she ends up looking foolish. Ashclan warriors remain deeply devoted to their feral distinguished goddess, but their religious practices vary from family to family. Each shows the strength of their faith in their own way, so the clan believes, and so they generally live and let live.
Her Children
Embersong - god of youth
Embersong is perhaps the most prominent of the lesser gods, despite being the deity of a lesser subject. Mother's give thanks to Embersong for their children and curse him when they die.
Sometimes called "the forgotten," Moor-runner is seldom recognized among day to day life of the clan he founded. But still his warriors take after him in spirit, even if they do not recognize, possessing many of the same traits he once embodied. Intelligent, energetic, and narrow-minded, Moor-runner was a force to be reckoned with. But his memory has faded from the minds of his warriors and his strength is therefore diminished. Still, he is one of the three main rulers of Starclan and one of the most important clans. His memory is still honored in both Ashclan as well as Seaclan, though perhaps not as frequently as their own patron gods.
His Children
Skypetal - goddess of day
Darkleaf - god of night
Night and day, the two children of Moor-runner sit on opposite sides of the spectrum. Skypetal was said to be fiery and reckless, while her brother was supposedly the calmest of the pair. Their memory has faded and they are seldom remembered in clan life, excluding festivals.
Festival of the Gods
The Festival of the Gods takes place once a year at the beginning of Leaf-Fall as the leave begin to change. For three days, a selected group of warriors, apprentices, and elders from each clan join together on the Island of Lights to celebrate the three gods. During this time food is shared and stories are exchanged as conflict comes to a standstill. Drawing of blood is forbidden during this time, but warriors do entertain themselves by hosting sparring matches between famous warriors of different clans. The three medicine cats and their apprentices host a final celebration on the last day of the festival where they share stories of the gods. A complete Agenda is provided below.
Day 1:
— Leaders' Welcome
— Hunting Tournament
Day 2:
— Apprentice Sparring Matches
— Warrior Sparring Matches
— Gathering off all in attendance
Day 3:
— Final sparring matches
— Medicine Cats' Address
