       for if heaven's not your cry, you're still afraid to die
       i'll tell you now your end is not far
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       history
       hazeclan's origins are not quite clear, but the story goes as
       follows; an ancient feline by the name of deliriadreams had been
       wandering, not quite aware of her surroundings but not
       completely gone either. she happened to come across a forest
       that was filled with a thick, misty fog, and quickly became lost
       in it. soon, she began to see familiar faces in the fog; lost
       loved ones, from when she had been much younger. they taught her
       how to navigate the fog and helped her to get out of the forest.
       however, this experience stuck in her mind. a few months later,
       she returned with a large group of cats, wanting to start a clan
       like the one she used to live in so that they could preserve the
       forest and the spirits who live on in the fog. soon enough, she
       died, passing the leadership on to her closest confidant. he
       completed the creation of the clan, making it as she had planned
       as a way to honor her legacy.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       territory
       hazeclan's name came from the constant state of it's territory.
       the forest they live in is made up of marshy land, with water
       taking up most of the space in their territory. hazeclanners
       sleep in the trees, as it much more convenient, as well as safer
       than living on the ground. the only dry place in the camp was
       hollowed to be used as a den for the nursery, since the kits
       would not be able to climb nor remain in the trees. the forest
       is always cool, since it is nearly constantly filled with the
       thick fog that gave the clan its name.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       religion
       the members of hazeclan worship their ancestors and the old
       clans. they believe that the members of the old clans,
       especially ones like fallingstar and hissingstar, became almost
       like gods when they died, and that their forest holds the
       spirits of all the members of the old clans who passed away, and
       that when they died they join the other spirits as a part of the
       fog.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       traditions
       there are, of course, all the traditional ceremonies: apprentice
       ceremonies, warrior ceremonies, elder ceremonies, vigils, deputy
       ceremonies, leadership ceremonies, medicine cat ceremonies, and
       name changing ceremonies. however, they do have their own
       traditions as well.
       night of the spirits;; once a month, on the night of the full
       moon, all members are relieved of duty for the preceding and
       following days. they then spend this time out in the territory
       in the fog, so they can attempt to connect to their ancestors in
       the same way the first leader of their clan, deliriadreams, did.
       it's rumored that the spirits are easier to see one the night of
       the full moon. clan members do not have to return to work until
       the following day and night have passed, so more hunting patrols
       are sent out in the preceding days to prepare for it. they must
       fast the day before if they are going to participate.
