── ⋅ ── Accessory Guide Accessories are more than decoration, they tell a story! Every clan has developed its own methods of crafting and decorating over countless generations using only the materials found within their territory. Some accessories symbolize family, achievements, or ceremonies, while others are simply beautiful objects collected over a lifetime. Because these items are closely tied to each clan's culture, not every accessory is available to every cat. A character must have lived within a clan or territory for at least 3 moons before they may begin wearing accessories crafted from that region. Learning to gather, weave, carve, and properly wear another clan's accessories takes time. If an accessory is not listed in this guide, it is not considered freely obtainable. Certain items may only be earned through roleplay, trade, ceremonies, gifts, special events, or staff approval. ── ⋅ ── Highclan Highclan accessories are light, elegant, and carefully woven so they never interfere with climbing or flight-like leaps.
