Misery And The Damned [ILLUSTRATED!] || Warrior Cat inspired ||

disclaimers

This AU is alike Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter. This isn't a WC fanfic because there is no use for two-worded naming systems, and it'll be troubling to maintain the same beliefs.

The art contained in this fic are not bases or images you can use to trace, copy, or use in any way without credit. All of these are drawn by yours truly, wildcali.

-------------

The following chapters will contain images and writing of extreme gore and detailed violence, trauma induced flashbacks, episodes, and panic attacks. Death warnings, as I'm not afraid to kill any character.

LORE: (feel free to skip.)

Humans will report there was once a surge in wild cat populations near the forests, but one summer, they had all allegedly disappeared. The cats had been troubled with prey, especially with the similar increase in canines surrounding their territories. 

The first 'Colony' was created by a prominent and powerful cat, Prithorn, who wanted to establish her own personal army to take over the forest wild cats, bringing them (and mostly herself) to glory. Some were infatuated with her, but those who opposed her were chased and brutally mauled. Some travelled to the Styx's Hand, an old but intact barn that remains in the Topside, but never to be seen again. Their descendants were called 'Those Who Went Astray,' and now just 'Strays'. Others hid by seeking refuge near human houses, and became the Domesticated. 

Prithorn's ambition was too much for the forest to handle. This was followed by a terrifying reign of bloodshed and distrust between the Old Army and the other cats. It took a cat with a coat pure as snow to stand up to her sadistic reign. Most remaining in the Colonies today will still know the name of The Original Harbinger, Nirac. He was able to kill Prithorn in a long and brutal battle, and after Prithorn's closest supporters were punished, he returned peace to the starved and exhausted remaining wild cats. For a heart full of gold, and his kind and empathetic charm, he was admired and idolized, considered to be the saviour. 

 With all of the forest cats' support, Nirac created the first Colonies. 

The Grimstone Colony rules over the Sandsby Grove and the Harley Thicket. They are known for their absolute might, muscles, and iron will. 

The Islinger Clearings and the Abandoned Dump are ruled by the Vultani Colony. They are known for their skill in combat, their patience, and their calculation and strategies. 

The newly split Millthorn Colony rules over the Vast Wilds nearest to Topside and the gorge. They are known for their infatuation with ranking and power, and remains the smallest Colony today.
