ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan have survived together for as many moons as any one cat can remember. Each independent, with its own leader, deputy, medicine cat, warriors, and apprentices. however, a cat came to power in thunderclan known by the name of tigerstar. the clans flourished at this time however, and his destruction was kept to a minimum, no one except thunderclan and Windclan were aware of his true terrible nature. he then decided that with thunderclan's strength at an all time high, and sensing a small weakness in windclan who had struggled during leafbare, that he would attempt to take over windclan's camp and territory with his last life. he died in the battle, but not before they had killed windclan's leader and deputy, winning over the territory and camp of windclan. tiger star left a new predecessor to thunderclan, a deputy who may just be as power hungry as himself... this is where our story begins.
As Tigerstar knew without help that he couldn't defeat and control all of the Clans through flat out battles, behind the scenes he had been secretly murdering and killing various high ranks and powerful and important warriors, and then hiding any traces. This has been effectively weakening all of the Clans and instilling fear in them, all except ThunderClan. His hope was to make them come begging to ThunderClan for protection, and in turn give up territory or other things as payment. This has started to be largely successful.
While WindClan and ThunderClan have been busy battling, RiverClan and ShadowClan have been scared by the important ranks of their Clan going missing, but also frightened by the mysterious messages StarClan cats have been sending to them. Cats in storms and rivers drowning and wailing for help. Other times in dry forests and sandy clearings, thirsting and starving for prey. Even more horribly, sometimes collapsing from exhaustion and begging for death. The medicine cats of these two Clans have been discussing these dreams between the two of them, but no word has been given by thunderclan and windclan's medicine cats, who seem to always be busy and consumed with their warriors. it appears riverclan and shadowclan are alone in this ordeal.
Firestar and Scourge were never born to save the forest. the clans must prevail on their own, or change and bend to thunderclan's will.
