Lore I have yet to efficiently sort.
- LEADER LORE - new leaders will make the journey to the Enlightened's Reach to receive their nine lives, however it is rumored that leaders also gain the knowledge of past lives before them. This is why leaders have such notable intuition; they have received at least bits and pieces from other leaders before them. New leaders tend to suffer night terrors and head aches as memories of past lives slowly accumulate. Often times, leaders aren't even sure which memories are theirs and which are that of a past leader, and which leader the memories even belonged to. The Enlightened are said to hand pick what knowledge a leader gains, most commonly it is knowledge to help the clan's general survival and parts of the clan's history that the leader is sworn to protect and harbor.
When a leader retires, some knowledge and memories fade as they are gifted to the new leader. For these reasons, being a leader is not for the weak-minded, for the first several moons are spent with severe mental turmoil.
- APPRENTICE ISLAND - the center island of the lake is not commonly traveled to except for when BoarClans are first learning to swim. It is common, however, for apprentices to make plans with other apprentices during a gathering to meet at a certain area (often near the two leg place border) and to swim and hang out at the island in secret. Many WillowClanners often chicken out at the idea of having to swim, and may be teased or simply helped by a BoarClanner. Most clan cats have snuck out to the island, it is an unspoken tradition, though as it's against the code it is on a don't ask don't tell basis.
