In Riposteclan, when kits are born it is traditional for the parents of the kits to make a pile of stones for each kit on the highest peak they can reach. It is believed that the higher the stones are placed, the stronger the kit’s connection with Starclan will be, and the more powerful the kit will be. When courting, it is traditional to present a stone from your own pile to your potential partner. If your affections are accepted, your partner will entwine the stone into their fur. When cats die, they are buried in the lower, softer sections of Riposteclan territory. Their graves are marked with a cairn, a pile of burial stones. Each member of the clan contributes one, from the smallest kit to the oldest elder. Finally, a cat closest to the cat retrieves a stone from the deceased’s kit-pile and places it in a prominent place on the pile along with a personal item.
