Many, many, many years ago, the four Clans existed in this same forest. Plagued by sin, the Dark Forest rose and tore the Clans apart, leaving nothing but the tales of the greats passed down the generations. Several years ago, the Clans were founded again in a new era. Despite the leaders receiving their lives, StarClan has otherwise been silent with all of the forest. Some cats held out hope that their warrior ancestors would return, believing it to be a consequence of the Dark Forest's destruction from so long ago. Others were skeptical, but kept their wavering faith to themselves, unwilling to shake the already fragile foundations the new era was built upon.[break] [break]
One moon ago, however, Alderstar of RiverClan broke the silent, mutual agreement the Clans seemed to have regarding not addressing StarClan's absence. At the Gathering, Alderstar waited for all other leaders to speak before condemning StarClan in front of all the attendees, declaring that he would no longer look to his warrior ancestors for guidance and that the cats of today would have to learn to forge their own paths ahead without relying on the deceased. Some were shocked. Others were angry. Before anyone could speak out against him, Alderstar collapsed, convulsing where he once stood on the Sacred Stones before being pronounced dead. All attendees scattered from the Gathering and back to their original Clans, unsure of what would come next.[break] [break]
With the ice broken regarding StarClan's absence, the Clans must now decide how they want to navigate their futures: abandoning their faith as apostates, or sticking to their roots as believers?
