Healer
The Tribe's healer is basically the same thing as a Clan's medicine cat and leader put together. The healer gets signs from their warrior ancestors in the "Cave of Pointed Stones". The healer also never leaves the cave.
Prey-Hunter
Prey-hunters are tribe cats whose only duties are to catch prey for the tribe. A group of cave-guards accompany them to spot trouble.
Cave-Guard
These are lean, tough cats that protect and guard the tribe. They are also responsible for watching the skies to protect the prey-hunters from hawks and eagles while they hunt.
To-Be
The equivalent of a apprentice, To-be's are trained in either prey-hunting or cave-guarding; when they are finished training, they are made either prey-hunters or cave-guards. Tribe cats believe that they are born into their duty, though they can change positions.
Kit-mother
As their name suggests, Kit-mothers are she-cats who are about to have or recently had kits. When they have their kits, they remain kit-mothers for a time to nurse them. They are the equivalent of a Clan Queen.
Elders
Former Prey-Hunters and Cave-Gaurds, now retierd. The same as a Clan elder.
Kits
Young cats that are not yet To-Bes; the same as clan kits.
Beetle-brain – Friendly insult; similar to mouse-brain
Caught-prey – A dead prey animal caught for the purpose of consumption.
Time of Rushing Water – The season of spring.
Time of Frozen Water – The season of winter.
