We welcome new writers who are ready to be creative, to have fun, and to let go.  On our board, you don't always control your own destiny.



New Members: Please register with a first and last name.  We delete registrations that don't have both due to excessive spamming.

As summer comes to Cat's Claw, people begin to put aside the darker events of the past months.  The world has not changed, just people's attitudes:  The Dray are still active, people will still disappear from all over Magical Ireland and folks will be dealing with their own personal dramas.  But Summer brings some general  optimism that can be felt in the community.

In the summer months, folks in Cat's Claw look forward to:

~Hanging out at the beach
~Picnics
~Bonfires
~Polo Matches
~Sailing
~Good fishing

On the home front, summer brings the work of tending to family gardens.  Most everyone in the community keeps a small home garden of some sort.  They don't all grow the same produce, so there is a fair amount of community bartering that goes on.

No New Posts The City of Cat's Claw
Located in the Southern tip of Carrick, Cat’s Claw was one of the first cities established in Magical Ireland. It is settled along the shoreline of the Caradoc Ocean. It has a small city center, two ports, three formal neighborhoods and large sweeping expanses of farmlands, woodlands and fields. Sheep roam freely in and out of the city. Its roads are mostly dirt and cobblestone. The sounds of horse’s harness bells on the carriage taxi cabs are an ever present sound. Its population is about 46,000.

Cat’s Claw is home to many shops and business of all calibers. We have chosen not to make individual forums for every business. We’ve offered forums for a few of our businesses and created a masterlist for the rest.

This comprises the largest of the neighborhoods. There are small homes about the size of cottages as well as average size flats in homes that have been made into duplexes. There are very small family farms . The borders wrap around the westside of the city's center and extend back to the forest's edge. Homes nearer the forest are cheaper as people are afraid of what lurks there in the night.

No New Posts Newgrange
Newgrange is Magical Ireland’s oldest city despite the fact that Finton Hollow was the first established village. Newgrange is home to both state and federal government buildings. It is a city with a trolley car system, live theater as well as picture shows, upscale dining and other bigger city amenities. It is a half hour carriage ride from Cat’s Claw over the Cheeper’s Bridge to the west. It is a twenty minute ferry boat ride between the cities. The House of Knowledge and Chatter is an old and extensive library that is a popular spot for those who like to talk magic and machines.

No New Posts Tangled Paths
Tangled Paths is the biggest city in Southern Magical Ireland and with it comes both the good and bad. It is busy, crowded and driven by those with money. The rich live well, the poor live poor, scraping out an existence and hoping to find some path to an easier life. It is a lively city with a great trolley car system, the best clubs, shops, theaters, picture shows and dining to be had. Buildings are large and elaborate and the city is on the go both day and night. It is a thirty minute train ride or an hour and half by ferry. It is a very popular spot for the young folk to go, rich and poor alike.
