StarClan

StarClan is made up of the spirit cats that have died from the four Clans of the Forest, and after the Great Journey, the Lake. StarClan cats live in their own forest in their after-life. They leave starry paw prints, and their pelts glow with a pale light, which makes them look like they have stars in their fur. StarClan is sometimes referred to as the "fifth Clan" of the forest. They watch over the Clans from the sky and send prophecies to warn of impending danger. At every half-moon the medicine cats of each Clan go to their "sacred place" (Moonstone or Moonpool) to speak with StarClan and receive advice about the future. When a new leader is appointed, StarClan gives them their nine lives and replaces the second half of their name with "star". StarClan has no control over what happens to cats in the living world, confirmed in Secrets of the Clans.

Information

 * StarClan sends messages to the Clans in times of great danger or confusion. Medicine cats (and in some cases, Leaders) receive these signs at Moonpool or Moonstone. To receive the signs of StarClan medicine cats either drink the water at Moonpool or touch noses with the Moonstone. StarClan can also walk in cats dreams to give them signs even if they are not at Moonpool or Moonstone. StarClan has no defined leader or deputy, but when a leader dies, he or she keeps the -star suffix in their name. There is also a Place of No Stars, which is the opposite of StarClan, where cats who have been evil go when dead. StarClan cats are allowed enter the Place of No Stars. However, if a StarClan cat enters the Dark Forest, they may risk never being able to escape. Spottedleaf stated that StarClan can magically guide and direct the Clan cats below, but once it is over they go their own way.

Silverpelt

 * Silverpelt is, in essence, StarClan's territory. In the fandom, Silverpelt, which is a large, cloudy-looking swath of stars, is believed to be the Milky Way. Clan cats believe that, upon dying and joining StarClan, a new star appears for the deceased. This is a theory brought up in Into the Wild.

Midnight

 * The cats of StarClan came together and chose four cats, one from each Clan, to go on a journey to find a new home for the Clans.


 * Cinderpelt receives a sign in a clump of burning bracken: Fire and tiger will destroy the Clan. This means that the daughter of "Fire" (Squirrelpaw) and the son of "Tiger" (Brambleclaw) will destroy the Clan. Firestar tries his hardest to separate the two, in fear of the destruction of ThunderClan. However, the prophecy come true, but "destroying the Clan" meant that the two cats would destroy the suffering Clan and rebuild it by leading them to the lake territory.

One-eye dies between Firestar's Quest and Midnight.

Moonrise
