Gatherings
Full Moon Gatherings
Every full moon, the two clans gather on the abandoned ruins. Because it requires Roseclan to travel through Deerclan territory, they often walk together while Deerclan's leader, Echostar, and Roseclan's leader lead the way together.
​
It is meant to symbolize peace and equalization between them, yet puts Deerclan in slight more control.
Half-Moon Gatherings
Every year, on the first half-moon, cats gather on the island to mourn the Trapped Stars, with the exception of medicine cats. They will speak of the braveries and hope some Stars may be able to present themselves. It is a fairly new tradition in which few can do so, but important nonetheless.

"My, have you grown! I see some familiar faces in there, as well as some new ones!" He looked pleased, but hid is caution. No clan leader could just openly converse with another clan, even if that clan was formerly part of them.
​
Echostar nodded at the tom, pointing to Hallowpaw and Fawnpaw. "These too are my kits, and Raintalon's..." A sorrow glance was all it took for Cherryflame to step up and comfort the she-cat before continuing. "Then, we've got Violesnow! She's been a huge help in shaping Deerclan."
​
A brief silence endured before Deerclan's leader invited the clan across the river. They had a gathering to attend, and the moon would soon be passing. Dawn was coming, along with new changes for the future...
