SHADOWCLAN
Clan of the night.
Introduction
You walk through a tall grass, unable to see with fog and mist settling along the ground. The only thing that your senses notice is that there are cats nearbye and only the tallest of trees surrounding you. You feel a slight chill go up your spine as you hear a call in the distance followed by the sight of a yellow eye. A large russet tom with only one eye walks up to you, his gaze looking calm and kind despite his looks. "Are you lost?" he asks, his voice as quiet as a whisper. You nod your head, which is followed by him telling you to follow him. After this you see a nice clearing, with cats looking just at you. "I am Foxstar young one, and this is Shadowclan. Stay as long as you feel,"he then says, his voice kind. Ever since, you have stayed in this clan.
History
Shadowclan started as a constantly traveling clan for the longest of time, calling themselves the outcasts before they figured out clan-life. In this time there was a constant struggle for power and each leader only ruled for a short time due to being killed or kicked out by another tyrant. This all ended when Oak was the leader of The Outcasts, Oak had made the group travel until everyone was at their weakest point and hardly let anyone hunt unless he felt as though they deserved to and even then he made that cat share their prey with the group. Then a cat named Shadow and his young son fox had talked about overthrowing Oak and finally settling down. After a season of plotting, Shadow had challenged Oak to a fight to the death for leadership. Oak happily agreed thinking that Shadow was too weak to win against him, in which he was really. On the day that the fight happened, Fox had killed Oak once and for all by stepping in to help which had cost him his right eye. After defeating Oak, Shadow promised his groupmates that he would put an end to the constant travel. After two seasons of searching endlessly for a perfect territory they found a thick forest with an abundance of ponds to drink and fish in. Shadow however was too weak to be leader, passing down leadership to his son after explaining what he was told in his dreams by starclan. After this, Foxstar had named the clan Shadowclan in honor of his father.
