After Rusty entered the wild- after the four clans of ThunderClan, RiverClan, ShadowClan, and WindClan have settled in their new home by the lake- after everything seemed at peace.
After the first journey, everything seemed like their lake territories were almost perfect. But half of the cats- many generations after Firestar himself has passed- believed that this wasn't the territory that StarClan had intended.
There were badger's and foxes everywhere- killing many many cats. There was famine of green-cough and an unnamed sickness. The lake flooded the clans twice. Traitors roamed the land abundantly, and many medicine cats began to forget their old ways of healing.
So, on the night of a gathering, half the clan cats decided to leave. Cats from all clans journeyed passed the Moonpool- in search of better lands. This journey was known as the Second Great Journey. Half of StarClan went with them that night- the other half stayed behind.
After many many days of perilous travel (1 and a half moons), dawn finally broke. As the cats climbed a large hill, they saw a huge body of water at the top- larger than they have ever seen. And the sun was rising on it.
The Clan cats decided that this must be where StarClan meant for them to be- the rising sun represented their new life starting here. Starting now.
The cats divided the territories, and named them for their habitats. They didn't use their old clan names, because they wanted to start fresh.
StormClan was named for the forest- and the mist it would gain in the morning resembling many storm clouds.
FrostClan was named for the entrancing frost and snow it would gain on it's highest hills and peaks.
NightClan was named for it's dark caves- and because it had the closest view to the sunset.
MistClan was named for the mist of the water crashing from it's rocky shores.
The clans had grown friendly on the Second Great Journey- splitting up was hard. But they managed to do so.
So here they are- the four new clans. There's only this problem.
Is this really a beginning? Is this really a renewal? A rebirth? Or is it the end of the warrior cats as we know them. Only you can decide as you step into the world of the new clans.

- The story begins two generations after the Second Great Journy
- Our main plot is settling in. But we will have separate plots as well. We will have you decide them.
- The Firestone ( the Moonstone/Moonpool of the new clans) has not been found yet- the cats use the Tidepool as a meeting place for now. Don't worry- there will be a plot!
Plot 1 : Darkness
It was an average Gathering when it happened. The moon was full, and the clans had good news to report. All was well. But then- an earthquake, huge and angry, struck the clans in the middle of the meeting.
Much was destroyed by the first tremble. Parts of all clans were broken, and fear turned to anger in the hearts of the clans. StormClan and FrostClan waged war against each other, and hatred began to brew amongst other clans to hide their fear.
But this isn't the last of the earthquakes- nor the weird happenings that StarClan can't explain to their followers. At least, not yet.
