basically
wc and rc have beef. about a year old, from when pheasantstar was still deputy (she has led for about 10 moons now). they beefed over the lands around the bridge when windclan had a rough leaf-fall last year and pheasantstar's - then pheasantfur -- mate died in a border fight. the tension has never fully gone away.
sc and tc have beef bc the tc leader accidentally got murked in a border scuffle over a squirrel that an apprentice chased over the border.
events out of their control force these rival clans to come together when sc and rc need refuge when both territories are not safe.
the clans JOURNEY. yes!!! we get a semi-large map for a full month of CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and member events as the new map is being made !! it's sort of a statis in time, where you can manufacture anything. each week they're updated with where the clans are: i.e., a long stretch of twoleg farm fields, a forest, hills, etc.
it's snowing and leaf-bare, so it gets hard to journey - not to mention a sickness becomes to daunt some cats as the elements get to them. they don't cross the mountains this time, but head south - opposite from where the clans went in the canon arc. about 2 moons of ic travel. maybe cross-clan friendships are made? maybe romances?
they reach what humans actually call sparrow's landing - a fertile land that has a train track "splitting" the clans - think yorkshire national park, situated in a bit of a valley by the western ocean. has the big cool bridge that marks the divide and first war site of the clans.
- with a river, moor cliffs, train tracks, a forest, and a small twolegplace to the far west, kind of wedged between rcwc and tcsc.
no longer on ocean, nix that . or maybe hold a vote if they want oceanside or rich valley?
on their first night resting in the northern part of the territory, starclan appears to normal people, and asks what they should do. there is enough territory for them all, but not for four clans.
wc and rc merge to become _clan at sparrow's landing, taking the land to the north of the train tracks.
sc and tc merge to become _clan at sparrow's landing, taking the land to the south of the train tracks.
scientist twolegs are here to study and preserve the marshlands, when a certain kind of wetland-walking lizard is known to live there and is endangered
. they're harmless at first aside from scaring away prey which is bad bc its leaf-fall. but when a twoleg notices a shadowclan apprentice peeping, they grow alarmed and more diligent at roaming the marsh. (the twolegs thinkt he cats are invasive and will endanger the natural animals in the marsh! bc cats are literally the most invasive species on earth in terms of hunting endangered wildlife).
begins on a gathering night. river and shadow express their concerns about the twolegs. wc and tc are not really affected by it, express their sympathy but reaffirm they must take care of their own first, that not even a whole clan could displace some twolegs. it's in starclans paws to determine what happens.
riverclan's twolegs have a 'camp' on the river, which is driving down the fish in one of their most popular fishing spots during the leaf-fall season. they dont have it as bad as shadowclan who has larger numbers of twolegs.
nothing bad has happened yet , but eventually they begin to try to trap clan cats as it gets colder and food scarcer. two cats are caught (a member). riverclan, now, begins to have issues.
