The foundation of the clans, when it had hardly started and what we know from history. Cats do not know much of Year 0. This is the information that the clans do and don't know of. ! Important ! Everything that the clans are unaware of will be put with ** around it. Meaning anything with ** around it is completely unknown to cats of now. _________________________________________________ Chapter l In the beginning the 'clans' were nomadic, they traveled from place to place following the prey and seasons. Usually they followed a pattern of places they knew of, but there was a season where they came upon the clans territory now, *it was slightly charred like a fire used to be there* but it had prey, water and territory fitting to the nomadic group that found it. This group settled down there and formed into a clan. They took the south part of the territory where fog covered a thick forest and field. This newly forming clan *had a name before but the name changed to a name you all are familiar with, Mistclan.* The first leader of Mistclan was Skystar, her brother Swallowflight was deputy. _______________________________________________ Chapter 2 Rainclan was formed from runaway Mistclan cats and rouges and loners. Heronsong was born around this time. Rainclan's first leader was Surgestar. Deputy in this part is unknown and likely died soon after ranked. _________________________________________________ Chapter 3 /Moons/ later after Swallowflight and Heronsong's death another group of nomadic cats joined the clans in the fields, they tricked the clans into believing starclan choose them to join the land and if they refused a curse would be upon them. Skystar's death also occurs in this part. The first leader known was Silentstar. _______________________________________________ Chapter 4 Silentstar's death. The new leaders of Rainclan and Heatherclan are Opalstar (RC) and Rosestar (HC). Their deputies killed each other at borders in a mysterious and tragic event. Their bodies were never found. The leaders blamed each other. __________________________________________________ Chapter 5 Opalstar, Rosestar and Silentstar were found mysteriously dead soon after the death of their old deputy's. A plague spreads across the clans and causes mass death. **The leaders after Opalstar, Rosestar and Silentstar leave their clans to prevent their own death, ashamed by this they come back under hidden identities to care for the remains of their clan. the clans know them as Thalassa, Selene and Eos though their real names were Minnowstar (Thalassa), Clearstar (Selene) and Meadowstar (Eos). They were not related and they faked Clearstar's/Selene's death/dying state to escape as they feared the clans might find the truth. And that concludes Age 0 with the soon emergence of Silverstar, Echostar and Dawnstar.** ________________________________________________ I'm currently working on the backstories of Heronsong, Swallowflight and Skystar as well as other important cats of history.
