Even though you may not see me talking in the c-box, I do check up on things every few days. :) Hello, everyone! <3 For our new members who may not have met me yet, I'm Badger, your owner and administrator. Yeah...Badger has been busy with school, finals, yearbook, drivers ed, and all sorts of other off-of-internet matters. :/ But, thanks to the lovely, awesome, badger-couldn't-love-you-more members at THL, the site is still very much up and running. So read the rules, make an account, and have fun! <3 Thank you!
For those of you that have been on the last few days, and we had that weird bird background...yeah, I have no idea what that was. XD Some tinypic issue. Anyway, it's resolved now! Thanks for the patience!
THE SITE-WIDE PLOT,
our site-wide plot, the after-affects of a giant cyclone blowing over the Highlands, is still in phase two. We will probably stay at this position in the plot at least until summertime. You can read all about the plot in the Announcements board, but the most important aspect of this plot is:
There are alligators roaming both territories.
Badgerstar has gone missing, and ShimmerClan now suspects BrackenClan of kidnapping their leader. Clans tensions are very high.
Both Clans have received damage to their camps, and continue to live in temporary settings.
Again, please read all the details in the Announcements board!
We do not tolerate disrespect, bullying, or harassment.
Serious and extreme curse words are not to be said out of character, no matter the circumstances. Swear words are aloud in the role-play, as they can help shape characters' personalities and histories; however, no excessive use, and please consider using "mouse-dung" instead.
Staff's word is law.
One character per account; you can have an ooc account, but they are completely unnecessary.
High positions are simply in-character roles, and you can only have one per member; however, a member may hold both a high position and staff position.
You must set your display name and gender to your character's name and gender. No symbols before the name. You cannot use the location feature.
Include your ooc name and the names of all your characters in your signature.
Please try and avoiding using the same prefix as another person; check the Allegiances to see what prefixes are already in use.
Disabilities must be purchased from the starstore.
Our global moderator Speckle is in charge of assigning mentors and apprentices.
No graphic breeding, birthing, or gory battles.
All in-character posts must be third-person narration, past tense.
We are a literate roleplay, so use correct grammar and spelling; however, we no word count, because we believe in quality over quantity.
Three threads per character at one time.
Being active, by our standards, means that you log in at least three times a week, and make a complete roleplay post at least once a week.
If you have not logged into THL in at least three weeks, (and have not posted a hiatus note), then you are considered inactive, and at risk of losing your characters and possibly your account.
Storm HAS JUST PASSED!
BADGERSTAR IS MISSING!
CLAN TENSIONS HIGH!
READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE ANNOUNCEMENTS BOARD!
The Highlands is situated on the island of Madagascar, during the time period of the 17th century. Though this does not effect the felines, this allows for a more realistic roleplay, since much of the island's current forests and wild lands have been torn down or inhabited. This unique environment offers a variety of settings, including an extinct volcano, thick rainforest, river rapids, and even a nasty pond of alligators. Throughout a year in the Highlands, there are only two seasons: the wet and the dry. The dry season (May - October) is relatively cooler, with frost commonly occuring overnight. In ShimmerClan, the climate is relatively tropical, while BrackenClan receives occasional rains and common rain clouds.
Madagascar is an island country off the coast of Africa, located in the Indian Ocean. At 587,000 sq km (slightly larger than France), Madagascar is classified as the fourth-largest island in the world. It is home to over 200,00 species, which have evolved in isolation for 88 million years. Over 80% of the plant and animal species found on Madagascar are endemic, meaning that they are located no where else on the planet. Madagascar contains a variety of ecoregions, ranging from the rainforests and the high mountains to the unique, dry spiny forests.

Challenge 7 | February 07, 2012
GO HERE and tell Badger three things that you enjoy about THL (if any), and three changes (if any) that you would like to see. We welcome guests' opinions, as well! A change cannot be that you wish some of our members (or me) were more active; we honestly cannot help that they live fun, exciting lives and we don't. |D Please give me some reasonable changes that you would think would improve THL.
This contest earns you 20 starstones for a response to the challenge. :)

ShimmerClan
SHIMMERCLAN CAMP → (1 sub-board) CURRENTLY BLOCKED BY ROCKS. Hidden along the steeper side of the mountain, the caves reach a depth into the mountainside that even the bravest of warriors are fearful to cross. The shimmerfall guards the camp, and empties into the river. Each cave holds seperate caverns, which makes the dens.
GRANITE OUTCROPS | CAMP → TEMPORARY SHIMMERCLAN CAMP. ShimmerClanners spend their time here if they are not hunting. Some rocks fell off the outcrops during the storm, however it is still the safest place. Large boulders and shards of shining rock protrude from the sides of the mountains. The entire Highlands can be seen from this vantage point.
ROLLING HILLS → FOR HUNTING AND TRAINING APPRENTICES. Currently the only other available territory. The floodwater have created small ponds, turning the area into a temporary marsh. Still, the best place to hunt, and the only available place to train apprentices. Apprentices and warriors must be on guard; an alligator has been spotted roaming the territory.
SLIPSTONES → EXPERIENCING ROCK SLIDES; A VERY DANGEROUS PLACE. Occasionally referred to as the Northern Highlands, this is the open ShimmerClan territory of mountains and cliffs. Only experienced warriors choose to hunt near the streams, because that is where the rocks are most slippery, but the prey is most plentiful.
RAINFOREST CLIFFS → BRACKENCLAN'S TEMPORARY CAMP. BrackenClan warriors are currently taking shelter under an overhang a little ways away from their camp. It consists of smooth rocks, however not very high for climbing; however, you can get a good view of the coastline, which is currently covered in branches, leaves, and other debris.
RAINFOREST → FOR HUNTING AND TRAINING APPRENTICES. Expanding amongst most of the BrackenClan territory, thick, dense trees that expand high into the air create a humid and misty forest, covered in plants and vines. An added fog from the storm winds makes it even more difficult to navigate. All hunting and training apprentices is done here.
BRACKENCLAN CAMP → FULL OF FLOODWATER AND DEBRIS. UNUSABLE UNTIL THE WATER DRIES. Nestled into the deep rainforest, BrackenClan camp is a situated group of trees with their roots creating dens and small underground holes, protected by rocks and vines. These dens have been here for centuries, created in a time long before the Clans.

RAINFOREST SAVANNA → (1 sub-board) COLDER TEMPERATURES, AND LOST FARM ANIMALS AND ALLIGATORS ROAMING. A large area surrounding the southern rainforest, just north of the coastline. A large expanding area with high grass that no cat is taller than. Boulders and isolated trees allow for better views of the landscape; typically warm and windy. Be watchful for predators.

Other Lands
RIVER → - 1 Viewing (1 sub-board) NOW CROSS-ABLE, BUT STILL DANGEROUS. The largest river in the Highlands, dividing BrackenClan and ShimmerClan territory. During the the rainy season, horrible storms called cyclones will rise the depth of the water, causing wild waves and occasional flooding. Includes stepping stones.
ANCIENT RUINS → NOW ABLE TO VISIT. The Gathering Place, a forgotten and crumbled temple that lies in ruins near the river, along BrackenClan's side. ShimmerClan must use the stepping stones or bridge to get to the Gatherings every moon, and are not to step more than two fox-lengths into the territory.
TWOLEGPLACE → SOME HUTS AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION DESTROYED, DEBRIS SCATTERED. All Clan members are warned to stay away from these twoleg nests. A small village near the Spiny Forest; the strange creatures who inhabit this place harvest their food in the rice fields. Loners and kittypets are common, and have reign over this territory.
STARCLAN → (1 sub-board) Where all the StarClan cats roleplay, including anywhere a StarClan cat might venture in the skies. StarClan cats cannot send dreams or prophecies to other cats without an administrator's permission. The Dark Forest is located inside.
