SkyClan

SkyClan was an ancient Clan that was driven out of the forest long ago, and first appears in the book Firestar's Quest. Each cat of the Clan has strongly built hind legs, which allow them to jump great distances. They were driven out when Twolegs demolished their camp and territory to create Twolegplace. They went to the gathering and asked the other four Clans to give up some of their territory to help them. The other Clans denied them land, and evicted them from the forest. When they left the forest, their leader, Cloudstar, felt StarClan had betrayed him, and declared he would never again look at the stars. In the book, Firestar starts to see visions of a group of cats running away, and begins to think he is going crazy. Eventually Smudge, Firestar's kittypet friend visits him, and tells him he is having the same dreams. He then finds out that Smudge's house is built on the old SkyClan camp. Firestar then sleeps in Smudge's backyard, and the leader of ancient SkyClan visits him more clearly in his dreams. He then tells Firestar that it is his destiny to follow the river upstream, where he would find a place where SkyClan could once again live. Firestar and Sandstorm then travel there, where they seek out cats to once again make SkyClan great.
