Jᴜʟʏ 2019




July 18th - Please welcome our newest member; Lichen!

July 15th - Since it is unclear when Arinasi will be able to return to TCE, and she has been unable to login for some time now, Treeclan’s Deputy position has been reopened. For the sake of continuity Brightwind should continue to be referred to as Deputy in-character for the time being, and will be officially replaced with an in-character Ashstar announcement once the position has been re-claimed.

July 13th - TCE's approach to Discord access is being revisited with a new poll. Please take a moment to cast your vote and voice your opinion!

July 7th - Please welcome our newest member; Lynx!

July 7th - An activity check has been posted. Please make sure you take a moment to respond!

July 6th - We now have a Theme Preview thread, which we hope will help make everyone more aware of TCE's theme options.






May 2020 - Jᴀɴᴜᴀʀʏ 2021




TCE entered a hiatus in response to the world situation. As such, there was no news during this period.






Aᴘʀɪʟ 2020




April 14th - The sixth part of TCE's history has now been released!







Fᴇʙʀᴜᴀʀʏ 2020




February 29th - We're finishing up February by releasing Division, the fifth part of TCE's history. As always, it can be found under the Elder's Stories menu item, which has been tweaked slightly in preperation for the release of a new sub-section (more on that later).

February 28th - NPC Mentors can now be purchased from our site shop, meaning that members are no longer restricted to OC mentors. This trait is applicable to apprentices (or soon-to-be apprentices) only, and exists in two forms: one for ground/branch hunters, and one for the rarer tree hunter.

February 6th - From now until April 1st, free Limited Traits can be claimed by all members who have not previously participated in a trait-based promotion. See this thread for more information.






Dᴇᴄᴇᴍʙᴇʀ 2019




December 22nd - TCE is now listed on some RP Top Sites! You can find the links on the Introduction tab of this table.

Aᴜɢᴜsᴛ 2019




August 19th - Treeclan now has a Senior Medicine Cat! This position will be held by Cloverheart - A cat who canonically took the position a couple of moons prior to the Rogue Invasion. Her NPC predecesors are Blackwillow (second-to-last SMC; deceased) and Ripplestorm (previous SMC; retired).
Please welcome our newest member; Arielle!

August 3rd - Intra-Clan Conflicts, a page summarising typical Bird/Boar responses to disputes, is now available. In addition, we now have a Global Contents page to assist guests and new members!

June 29th - Please welcome our newest member; Dodge!

June 23rd - A number of updates have been made through the course of today, including: the condensing of our sidebars into a single tab (the the Key Info tab), the addition of a dedicated on-site page for our map, and the re-posting of our Plot and Thread Tracker threads (the originals of which have somehow been lost).






Aᴘʀɪʟ 2019




April 20th - The third part of TCE's history is now up! You can find it here, or by using the Elder's Stories menu.






Fᴇʙʀᴜᴀʀʏ 2019




February 6th - A minor tweak has been made to character history requirements. Going forwards, the histories of all characters older than ten moons must make some reference to the Rogue Invasion and other relevant/major plot developments (exceptions made if a character has been part of the clan for less than ten moons). This will not impact any previously accepted profiles, but is hoped to help strengthen the link between future characters and our backstory/plot.

June 24th - Mentor Assignment, the first part of our work-in-progress apparenticeship guide, is now available.

April 6th - We now have boards for AU and Non-Canon roleplay; these can be found in our Members category, and will not have any bearing on the main timeline/plot. In addition, an Official Thread Tracker has been released to provide an ongoing timeline of threads, and the site’s main timeline has been advanced one moon. The weather has been updated to reflect this (see the season tab), and all threads created before this date are officially set in TCE’s past (though members are welcome to continue them). Finally, today sees the release of our first plot update, which can be read here!

April 3rd - Please welcome our newest member; Marshymutt!

April 1st - No further currency name votes were received during the tie-breaker period, so the final decision fell to staff.

A new 'cache' link has also been added to the Account navigation menu, and works alongside our currency.
Please remember that this is a testing period, so payout changes may occur further down the line.

Oᴄᴛᴏʙᴇʀ 2017




October 29th - A little while back it came to my attention that members may find it difficult to adapt backstory deaths to our setting, so TCE now has its own Causes of Death list to provide a little guidance. In addition, today sees the release of The Rogue Invasion; a history page that addresses the four moons immediately preceding roleplay. There has also been a small tweak to our plot, so you may want to refresh yourselves with that, too!

October 28th - Leafbare, the second of our seasonal themes, has now been released!

October 24th - A new poll has been added to help us decide how the upcoming seasonal themes should be used.

October 23rd - Hi folks! It’s been a while since I updated the news, but today comes with a noticeable change: a new theme! This skin is the first in a series of four, and is named simply ‘Leaf-Fall’ – a fitting addition for the season! Other changes have also been made over the last couple of months, but they’ve been small behind-the-scenes tweaks that weren’t really worth announcing.






Jᴜʟʏ 2017




July 30th - Please join us in welcoming our two newest members; Spottedpelt and Blossomstep!

July 1st - Laptop is back up and running! I'll be working on various more important updates again soon, but for now I'm kicking things off with a light version of our current theme. Other options should be rolled out sometime in the future, too!

May 16th - Status update, this time. Some more information about Birds/Boars is currently in the works, but unfortunately work is kicking my butt and muse is being uncooperative. That said, I hope to have this segment of TCE’s lore written up by the end of the week!

Jᴜɴᴇ 2017




July 22nd - A quick explanation for the lack of updates these past couple of weeks: unfortunately my laptop's screen blacked out at the beginning of the month, and it's taking longer to fix than expected. As a result I have been unable to access my notes/WIP TCE files, so work on the site has had to be put on hold until the problem is resolved.

Sᴇᴛᴛɪɴɢ
TCE is set many, many generations after the books, rendering the canonical characters distant relics of a largely forgotten past. Life in the Lake Territories soured long before our roleplay’s timeline, and a breakdown of the original clans forced our character’s ancestors to leave their homes in search of better prospects. Eventually these cats found their way to a vast stretch of mountains, and on traversing a long, treacherous pass they at last stepped into a sheltered valley; their new home.

The descendants of these founding cats came to identify themselves first as The Valley Clans, and then simply as Treeclan. Although there was once a second clan (Stoneclan) within the Valley, Treeclan is now the only known clan, their neighbours having perished several generations before current events. As such Treeclan now rules all accessible space within the Valley, and they have come to enjoy a comfortable, almost spoilt life: one rich in food and scarce in threat. They seem to have an almost idyllic existence—but with no external forces to keep the clan united, its cats have taken internal dramas to new heights.

A long line of wise and strong Leaders have managed to minimise the rifts and prevent the clan from imploding, but now a new cat has stepped into their paws. Now, in the very dawn of his reign, the cracks are beginning to show...

Newleaf



Wᴇᴀᴛʜᴇʀ



Leafbare’s last clutches have fully fallen from the Valley, and the new growth of Newleaf is everywhere in sight. The forest and plains alike are awash with the vibrant colours of fresh flowers and young grass, and prey populations are already booming, making hunting a breeze. The early mildness of the season has now matured into a comfortable, stable warmth, and the nights lack their previous chill, retaining a degree of heat right into their depths. In all it’s proving a comfortable, bountiful season, and even the usual rains remain light and infrequent, saving the clan from the damp.
