9. The Great War

[Shells]

During the months of Leaf-fall, the Clans spent their time fighting in the Great War and trying to hold their Clans together as best they could. Most of the cats in each of the Clans were killed, and the others that were left were injured severely.

I've had many people ask exactly what happened to some of the past high positions, such as leaders and deputies that were killed in the battle. We've finally decided on what happened to each leader and deputy, so here's a list so that none of us forget :p

• Stonestar, the leader of ThunderClan, was killed during the battle by Bramblestar. Not every cat is aware of this, although it is pretty well known and Pinestar makes sure of it.
  
• Icestar, the leader of RiverClan, was killed by Ravenstar during the war when she was a warrior known by Ravenflight. She had been convinced that Icestar had been the one who murdered Birchstar and had attacked Icestar in fury.
  
• Birchstar, the leader of WindClan, was killed in the battle by Bramblestrike. This was known by only a few cats, most of whom were killed later in the battle. Most of the Clans speculate his death and cast blame on whomever they please.
  
• Fleetfoot, the WindClan deputy, was killed by Dawnbird, an ex-RiverClan warrior who left RiverClan in shame of what she had done. Many cats in RiverClan had seen her swapping words with Bramblestrike during the battle and blamed her for disloyalty.
  
• Hawkstar, leader of ShadowClan, was killed a few days before the battle. Only a few cats know what really happened to Hawkstar and they all belong to ShadowClan.

That should cover it! If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me or another admin. Please don't write in your bios or posts that your charrie is one of the few to know who killed so-and-so. Birchstar's death is not very well known at all, and Hawkstar's death is only known by about three or four cats total in ShadowClan, and they have already been decided.
