Events timeline

This is a timeline of the Warriors series, starting with The Sun Trail. It is not a summary of books - it is a table that shows when a particular event occurred, so viewers can see the succession of events and calculate how much time passed between two moments, or how old a cat is at a certain point in the books.

Only major events and characters are listed. For additional details on plots, click on the book titles. For a complete list of births, see the nursery page. For a complete list of deaths, see the StarClan page. A blank box indicates that no cat was born and/or died at that time.

Note: YBF = Years Before Firestar
