STARBOUND TIMELINE

[6 Moons Ago]
The warriors all dream of the same prophecy after their clans are fractured by Twoleg destruction. '"Follow the clawmarks in the night. The stars are bound to your paws and will bring you home."'
Their fate woven within the stars and their motivation all the same, this mixed group of Clan cats set forward on their mission to find a land that their ancestors claimed was their true home. Every second night of their travels were spent pushing through uncertain terrain, sticky situations and harsh weather - all in the name of Starclan and their promised land.

[5 Moons Ago]
On one fateful day, with the pull in their chests growing ever strong, the beaten-down cats stumble across lush land. A cove, a meadow, a forest, a shrubland, and mountains high enough to brush the sky. Their shoulders sagged in relief and their paws wobbled with exhaustion - they knew they had found their home.
However, not all was perfect. As they ran to their new territory, they were met by loners and rogue colonies. The dominant colony, the Bluebloods, refused to give up even a paw-length of their land. No one had the strength for an all-out war. The clans and the rogues came to an uneasy standstill. Scraps over food and space were common.
In the mountains, the Tribe of Painted Pools watched the Clan cats with wariness. They themselves had travelled to the new territories many moons prior, escaping the same Twoleg destruction that caused the clans to flee. It seemed their peace had not found them yet.

Life began to settle, even with the tensions between the rogues and the Clan cats rising. Despite the Clan cats separating into new groups, divvying up the territories, and reestablishing their old routines, one thing remained pungent in their minds: they didn't have any way to contact Starclan.
Blackmoon rejoined the Tribe of Painted Pools after being separated from them for moons. He took on his Tribe name once more, settling with his family and old friends as Black of Moonless Night.
In the meadows, a loner-turned-medicine cat, Shiversong, awoke from a dream: a waterfall that splashed into an eerily still pool, holding the stars within its groove. A cat with stars within their pelt beckoned the medicine cat forward before disappearing with a soft, lulling hum. Taking this information to her clan's de facto leader, they set out on a mission to climb up the mountains.
The Tribe met the Clan cats, having been notified of them by Black of Moonless Night. He explained the importance of the Pool to his Tribe, and an agreement was made. The Clans will have access to the Star Cliffs and the gathering island - but they must respect the Tribe and leave them to live in their peace.

Throughout the moon, one by one, Pebblestar, Creekstar, Aspenstar, and Rowanstar are named leaders of the newly-reformed clans now that contact with Starclan is once more. Though they were young and doubts festered amongst the Clan, Starclan's decision was final.
Mossclan, Coveclan, Meadowclan, and Gorseclan are formally established with the naming of their leaders, and their borders are solidified.

Throughout the moon, one by one, Pebblestar, Creekstar, Aspenstar, and Rowanstar are named leaders of the newly-reformed clans now that contact with Starclan is once more. Though they were young and doubts festered amongst the Clan, Starclan's decision was final.
Mossclan, Coveclan, Meadowclan, and Gorseclan are formally established with the naming of their leaders, and their borders are solidified.
Tensions between the Clans and the Bluebloods boiled over after moons of failed negotiations. This culminated in a bloody battle on the heath as the rogues attacked Aspenbreeze's camp at night. The leader of the Bluebloods, Rainier, is slain by Aspenbreeze. The ginger tom ascended to leader status the same night, and shortly after, Pebbleshimmer received a similar omen that secured her place as the last of the founding leaders.
In the following moons, some of the remaining rogues integrated with the Clans, while most fled the Clan territories entirely with the taste of revenge on their tongues and bitterness in their hearts.

As New-Leaf springs, all clans have settled peacefully within their territories. With Starclan in contact and their future looking clear, all focus is currently on ensuring borders are strong, tensions are held at bay, and loners with a vengeance are dealt with as they come.
