Mudclaw's rebellion

Mudclaw's rebellion takes place in Starlight just as the Clans find their new home. It was instigated when Tallstar suddenly changed his deputy from Mudclaw to Onewhisker, as he felt Mudclaw was too aggressive. WindClan became divided between loyalty to Onewhisker and Mudclaw, and eventually sparked a civil war within the Clan.

Premise

 * After Deadfoot, his previous deputy, Tallstar chooses Mudclaw to succeed him, as Tallstar wanted to balance out his own calm, collected approach with Mudclaw's more aggressive one. While Mudclaw tended to instigate fights with other Clans, Tallstar was able to keep him in control, while Mudclaw respected Tallstar, and had the respect of his Clanmates for not being able to speak his mind. Mudclaw served as deputy during the starvation of WindClan, and often tried to assume control, but was usually rebuked by Tallstar. During the great journey, Tallstar's health deteriorates, and Mudclaw begins to take on the leadership role of WindClan.

Tallstar's Choice

 * Upon reaching their new home by the lake, Tallstar speaks with Firestar and Onewhisker. Firestar is the son of Tallstar's dearest friend, Jake, and Onewhisker is a supportive and loyal warrior. Tallstar explains to them that while Mudclaw does desire the best for WindClan in his heart, he feels the warrior is too aggressive and his leadership would only lead to bloodshed and war. To prevent future battles, Tallstar demotes Mudclaw back to a warrior and names Onewhisker as deputy, who he feels would be better suited to the job. Onewhisker, shocked, attempts to deny it, but Tallstar passes away, leaving Onewhisker in charge of WindClan. Firestar is a witness to Tallstar's decision and tells the other Clans.
