warrior cats fanon universe. this is a lore askblog focusing on important characters surrounding the origins of my fanclans (as well as being a starclan rewrite). if you're interested in this world, i implore you to send an ask so i can talk about it more (if you don't have tumblr, i have a whispa page that allows non-logged in users)!
since the death of god, there's been a vacancy open! you can fill that void.
here's how...

deathfear is a warrior cats lore project ask blog. it's a familiar structure but with very different materials so to speak, using the warriors formula but re-written from the ground up. it's designed in a way that more information and characters are revealed as questions are asked and the cast is interacted with!
characters and known info can be found here. not every character on the toyhouse is currently unlocked!
heya, this blog isn't dead! and neither is this project. i've been struggling to do art for asks, but i still love this setting and i am determined to make something of it eventually, even if it's not as mysterious or plot-reveal-y as i'd originally wanted.
so, i am making a deathfear wiki. i will try and fill it out to the fullest that i can, and i officially no longer care about spoilers or meta knowledge or whatever. feel free to send in whatever questions you have, if you have any - i'll put some lore dumps under the cut for you guys so you have something to go off of (and don't mind my sudden cut to using proper capitalization haha).
also, if you've never seen this blog before, this is my increasingly massive fanon project for warrior cats! it has gay people in it so that means it's good, right? /s
clans - Deathfear has five clans in total, FlurryClan, NeedleClan, GaleClan, and MistClan (as well as a combined ValleyClan in the bad timeline). NeedleClan was founded by Coniferstar and was the first - followed by MistClan and then GaleClan. FlurryClan was formed a bit later out of the remnants of cats who were banished for standing against StarClan, it has slightly different rules and customs than the others and eventually partially joins with the Scion of Equinox to form the Sect of Snow.
scions - Long before the clans, there was a small mining settlement that resided on the side of the mountain. One day, the humans abruptly left, many leaving their pets behind as a massive mudslide swept through the town. One of the survivors, Solstice, took refuge in an abandoned church that was half-buried in mud - she was promptly visited in her sleep by an ancient deity, and tasked with bringing the rest of the left cats to safety. This group became the Scion of Equinox. The Scion are a direct foil to the founding of the clans, and when they received an omen warning of them, they quickly withdrew into their territory to avoid the war that Conifer brought.
starclan - Deathfear is in part a rewrite of StarClan - on surface level, it's similar to canon StarClan, but below that surface there are a lot of rules and lore tidbits that explain why it is the way it is. I'll have to make it its own post at some point.
founder's fates - This is one of the biggest mysteries I was trying to set up, what happened to Galestar and Miststar. Galestar did not go to the Starless Place - Hemlockmoon, who was the cat that murdered her (and Coniferstar's right-hand), did. He was the first Starless cat, not her. She watches the clans from a distance, occasionally re-joining GaleClan under the guise of a loner named Songbird to check in with how things are.
Miststar is difficult to find in StarClan - she is not impossible to get ahold of, but she spends most of her time watching MistClan through the eyes of the current leader. It is customary in MistClan for her to personally select leaders, reincarnation is a huge deal there (reincarnation is also a whole nother topic for a whole nother post) and thus kits who got sick or injured and mysteriously bounced back are often chosen as apprentices by the leadership to become the next deputy.

i think that's all for now. there is a lot to cover, and hopefully this is of some interest!
[ ooc : originally made this in april 2023, but there was a glaring perspective / artstyle issue with galestar's head so i never posted it anywhere. i finally fixed that, now i might as well post it here. i'm also working on art for an ask! ]
[ ooc: i consider 'modern' times as being several decades from the beginnings of the clans. also, while honeystar is a modern leader, the current leader minnowstar actually succeeded the cat who succeeded her, deltastar. ]
so what’s coniferstar’s deal as the prophet? was she born into the role or did vaine choose her for some reason? are prophets a normal thing in this world?
conifer: "ever since starclan came to power, most cats have the power to commune with us. most cats can reach starclan in their dreams if they wish to, especially if they have family here. any cat could become a prophet, it depends on who they know."
toyhouse profiles
i could have sworn i turned them on, what an oversight. anyways, they're on now! also, i also changed the blog url and i'm reposting my little animatic to hopefully remind people this page exists.
i made a speedpaint - u can find out more about this character here (including finished images), if you so desire. she's the first starclan cat in this universe, and the one who guided the prophet to the future clans' 'home'.
edit: i did change the link to toyhouse from cohost (cause of the cohost death thing), but it's not updating in the reblog - so here is the toyhouse link
