Place of No Stars


 * The Place of No Stars (also known as the Dark Forest) is where cats that have betrayed their Clans, or committed great crimes against the warrior code, (and StarClan) go when they die.

Description

 * It is a vast and empty place, and the complete opposite of StarClan's hunting grounds. The forest is dark, with no moon or stars. The landscape is lit only by sickly glowing fungus on the trees. Instead of walking the skies with friends and family, cats here are completely alone and rarely meet; Tigerstar and Hawkfrost are the only known cats that are able to remain together. The Place of No Stars does have a border of sorts with StarClan, and it takes the form of a cloud of mist. StarClan cats are able to pass into the Place of No Stars, but by doing so, they risk the chance of becoming lost and never finding their way out again.


 * Tigerstar has learned to overcome the forced separation of the Place of No Stars, being able to walk there with Hawkfrost and once talking with Darkstripe, who is very dismayed about being in this place instead of with StarClan. Tigerstar has also learned to walk the dreams of cats who are still alive, which is shown in the New Prophecy books Starlight, Twilight and Sunset, as well as in all of the Power of Three books. Tigerstar has talked to Brambleclaw, Tawnypelt, Hawkfrost, Jaypaw, and Lionpaw, who were thought to be Brambleclaw's and Squirrelflight's sons. Tigerstar does not know of the secrets revealed by Ashfur and Squirrelflight. Apparently, he can only to talk those who are related to him or whom are taken under the care of one of his relatives. When Tigerstar tried to talk to Jaypaw, Spottedleaf of StarClan took a great risk and rescued him, which proves that StarClan can come into the Dark Forest if they need to. Leafpool has seen the Dark Forest in a dream, but she did not talk to any of its residents, and tried to get out as quickly as she could.
