THE PLOT AT THE BEGINNING...
For decades, three Clans: CliffClan, CoveClan, and ValleyClan have all lived amongst each other with minimal fighting. At the beginning, all of the Clans lived close to each other so that they could all have meetings every moon. As time went on, each Clan had more members, and resources became a competition. As such, they began to spread out and established territories.
In more recent times, CliffClan has become more and more reclusive. The last time the Clan showed up for a gathering was almost twelve moons ago. Their lack of presence has the other Clan's concerned about what's going on. Around that same time twelve moons ago, ValleyClan had suffered a devastating flood. Many of their Clanmates were lost, and their numbers continue to dwindle as they struggle to recover from it. As such, another unexpected Clan has branched from ValleyClan and are calling themselves PondClan. The new rivalry for resources in the same area have ValleyClan and PondClan constantly at each other's throats.
In an attempt to settle the dispute between the two Clans, CoveClan has decided to try and reach out to their reclusive "neighbours". What will come of this?

why do we have to apply?
We have people apply to the roleplay so that we can make sure that they will add to the safe environment - not take away from it. We pride ourselves in having an accepting and open minded small community, and someone who has prejudices against the people in the server or may cause discomfort among people in the server is someone we do our best to avoid.
when will applications reopen?
Applications usually open at random, and each time we can only have a few people join us due to the limited amount of openings. Most of the time, not even we know when applications will open.
why is the server 16+?
While Árdegi doesn’t really allow sexual content aside from innuendoes & implications, we feel it may not be the place for younger children. Children fifteen and under may find some of the themes such as kit death, death in general, emotional & physical abuse, in-depth looks at mental illness, heavy gore, etc. unsettling. A 16+ environment will also raise the chances of the playerbase being somewhat more mature and respectful [however, it is definitely not guaranteed] handling such situations.
why are some application periods adoptable-only?
Some application periods may be adoptable only to help with player integration and allowing players to come in with a cat that already has pre-existing relationships! This will not be something that will happen every time there is an application period, but it is something we wanted to try out. You will be able to create your own characters when / if you get into the server.
how will we know if we get accepted into the roleplay?
You’ll hear back from one of the moderators at or near the end of the application period - we’ll usually have Árdegi in our Discord names during that time!
how come i can't apply for a queen or an apprentice?
In the server you’ll find that because of the litter rolls and the faster aging of kits, apprentices can become abundant to the point where the apprentice population is half of the Clan. In very rare cases will apprentices be opened via application, but for now, they can only be played through aging up a kit naturally. You may apply for a permaqueen if you’d like - just check the ‘Warrior’ box and state that you’d like this cat to be in the nursery instead.
how many people run the server?
Árdegi currently has two moderators - Arctic and Ken - and four helpers - Mc, Seb, Jum, and Miles.
can my cat be transgender / gay / non-binary / etc.?
Absolutely! One of the main things we (and other WCRPs) strive for is inclusiveness, and we’ll accept most character identities and backgrounds as long as they’re inoffensive.
is [insert prefix here] allowed?
As long as it is something naturally occurring and something cats (not necessarily in Iceland) would know of, yes. An exception to this would be if the namesake is from a climate very different from Iceland (a temperate/cold climate). A prefix like diamond- would most likely not be allowed, and neither would a name like Giraffeheart or Rhinocerosface.
However, names like Wolfstep (wolves are extremely rare in Iceland) or Coyotetail (coyotes are exclusive to North America but live in a temperate zone) are fine.

what does Árdegi mean?
Árdegi is a word meaning morning / sunrise in Icelandic. It is also what the cats call Snæfellsnes peninsula due to the especially colorful & bright skies at dawn when it’s light out.
