Many moons ago there were four Clans, JuniperClan, WillowClan, SageClan, and AlderClan who ruled over their respective territories placed in a semi-flooded expanse of wilderness. Though the land has much history already, it escalated a new one, one that nearly torn all the Clans apart. At some point during these four Clans' reign came a long string of murders consisting mostly of leaders, deputies, medicine cats, and warriors, which were carried out by cats from any Clan- told to by someone else with the promise of something the murderer wanted; from higher ranking to refuge. In the end, only a couple warriors, majority of apprentices, and only a handful of the forced leaders/deputies/medicine cats remained from any Clan and not nearly enough to sustain themselves in their own Clan. The innocent drove off the perpetrators to dispel their inhumane ways, and met in The Field of Small Lakes where they could communicate with the Tribe of Ancestors to seek their guidance. They were left with nothing but a shimmering image in the pools of water, an image of a very large fallen over hollow ash tree and the still living cats set off to find this tree. Not two nights later did they find it, and with four other freshly fallen hollow or partly hollow ash trees, and the cats perceived the message to band together and have this as their home. Now the diverse Clan cats have to figure out how to work together and get along with one another despite trust still a very delicate topic and thing to believe in at this trying time; not to mention, who would be appointed as leader or deputy? How will the cats survive the following leaf-bare with so few warriors and too many apprentices to train?
