"Mankind will fall, and animals shall reclaim the Wild..."

Welcome to my Erin Hunter crossover fanfic blog! This blog was created for me to share my ideas for an alternate universe story in which every book published under the Erin Hunter name took place in the same universe. This includes Warrior Cats, Survivors, Seekers, Bravelands and Bamboo Kingdom!

“ The animals of this realm have lived in relative peace for as long as anyone can remember, both with humans and with their fellow creatures. But as the planet's heat increases, the permafrost in the Poles slowly begins to melt, releasing an ancient and deadly disease. The humans, already weakened by the steady onslaught of war and natural disasters, stood no chance against the sickness. Their minds crumpled away within the grey husks of what were once people, becoming savage and bloodthirsty walking corpses. Once they realized that the sickness could also be transferred by animals, they swiftly abandoned their pets and livestock, and killing any wild beast they came across, infected or not.

But even in the midst of chaos and destruction, hope arises. Three heroes from each realm are chosen by the higher spirits to save their friends from the dying world. Every animal, wild and domestic, predator and prey, must unite as one to help each other through the trials. Mankind has fallen, and it's time for animals to reclaim their home. ”

The story will be set in a post apocalyptic setting in the middle of a sort-of zombie apocalypse (no, I'm not joking. I'm grabbing these creatures and throwing them into The Walking Dead). It'll start in Power of Three for Warriors, Realm of Lost Spirits for Bravelands, and the first book in Survivors, Seekers and Bamboo Kingdom. This will also serve as a sort of rewrite for these series as well so expect to see a lot of changes and headcanons!

Essentially, the basic plot is that humans civilization is falling apart and both animals and humans are being infected by a strange disease, not to mention the wars and other disasters. Skystar, Earth Dog, Ursa, the Great Dragon and the Great Spirit select three heroes from each of their kingdoms and sends them a prophecy showing them the destruction to come. They are tasked with a great journey to not only find a safe place to settle but to meet their fellow heroes at a neutral ground. But conflicts begin to break out between the animals, amplifying the chaos. The survivors and warriors begin to fight over the lake. The pandas struggle to find shelter as their kingdom is flooded, and the bears refuse to be generous. War breaks out between baboons and golden monkeys as one troop attempts to rule the other. It seemed as if the different species will never find a way to unite...

This is a pretty ambitious project but I'm really excited to start working on it. It's gonna have a whole bunch of entertaining culture shock, animal racism (speciesism? I don't know how to spell that..) cross tribe and cross species romance, predator-prey conflict, and a lot of other stuf. If you have any questions about it at all, you're always welcome to ask!

Dawn Cats!

A feline species I made up, they're the Ancients (ancient tribe) from Jayfeather's time travels!

Big, powerful cats, living around the Lake Territories in three separete grups (tribes). It wasn't clearly stated in the books if the grup Jay meet and traveld with to the Mountains was only one Tribe or all of them (or at least I don't remember that 😅), but I hedcanon that the Dawn Cats were already at the dusk of their society during po3. After a series of epidemies and internal conflicts, their numbers declined drasticly, and their Healers desided to mearge into one grup. The Twolegs showing up at the Lake was only a final nail in the coffin, and made the already existing thoughts about leaving their home more urgent. After that, you know the drill, Jay's Wing/Feather shows up, the Tribe votes go or stay and they travel to the Mountains. Forming the grup known as the Ancient Tribe and later giving rise to Tribe of Rushing Water, ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, RiverClan and SkyClan.

Geneticly they're sitting somwhere at the base of the F. catus (and cousins) family tree (the wildcats/felis silvestris) Closer to the ancient wildcats then our domestic goofballs, but still able to hybridize and have fertile offspring. They're the resoult of an alternative timline in which the ancient humans who crossed the Bering Strait and later went to become the Native Americans, brought their own primitive wildcats companions with them (assuming they had any). Those kitties later diverged into many other subspecies, but nearly all of them faced extinction, leaving only a couple still standing. The original Dawn Cats went extinct through hybridization with domestic cats, forming the Clans. The closest (geneticly speaking), and the last still alive in the u.s subspieces of the Dawn Cats are the Tribe of Rushing Water (still clasified as critically endangered though). The other desendants of the 'first kitties' are the Sisters (I'll talk about it in another post) also clasified as CR, and the Wildcats, that are still just your typical Felis silvestris grampia, but now living in North America. Becouse Erins writed Ivypool's Heart already after I made the USwarrior catsAU. (well, I have to work with what they gave me 🤣).

------

It's more like a guideline I'll loosely base my new batch of designs off on, then anything super serious, I don't like restricting myself too much when drawing XD.

I'm planning on dropping a bigger post where I'll cover Dawn Cats history and culture in greater detail, so stay tuned!

disclaimer: I know that people who crossed the Bering Strait were hunter-gatherers and didn't really needed cats, but this addition would just be cute and help me ground my rewrite a lot :D

It’s as if this post is a message to me from the universe.

The story is mostly true! But both the elk and the donkey are in California.

I've realized what one of the flaws in the series is now that's a more subtle flaw.

Aside from Purdy... No one has a "way of speaking". Everyone sounds the same. So much formal speak is used now, and mind you with cats in leader positions I imagine there would be an expectation of sorts, I can't imagine Mistystar accepting anything less than PERFECT grammar.

But a cat like Graystripe? He'd love weird contraction words! Man says "y'ain't" unironically!

Dovewing using big words and long complex phrases until she leaves Thunderclan and challenges herself to use as few words as possible for a while to break the habit...

Hollyleaf The Nerd accidentally taught her the habit in the first place, mind. Get a chair and some water when Holly gives a speech, you'll be there for a while.

Jayfeather on the other hand? Learn to speak grunt.

Lionblaze picks up mannerisms from EVERYONE. Slang from Daisy and Berrynose, a little "y'know?" From Cinderheart, and you can catch him say "um" the same way Leafpool does from his brief time as Cleric apprentice.

Squirrelflight would often speak too quickly so sometimesshetalkslikethis...

Hmm... Bit hard to read.

I'll-write-it-like-this! Squirrelflight!

Skybranch (Twigbranch) stumbles over words and tries to pick them as carefully as possible. A-uh A lot of the time, she'll kinda talk like this? I think, uh, I think that's good. Right? Yeah. Should be okay.

Where cats like, say, the aforementioned Mistystar, take a very high-class tone. A cat like Mistystar would not lower herself to using foul language, like the Thunderclan warrior, Spotfur. There would simply be no need for it.

And Spotfur thinks that that's badger bullocks! Swears express your passion, dammit!

But... Yeah. The way people speak and talk, tells you a LOT about them.

So I recently found a pristine copy of Enter the Clans at an Antique Store. I’m picking through it looking for every mistake I can nitpick over (don’t worry, you’ll have to deal with that can of worms soon enough), but there was a very INTERESTING passage on page 100 I think more people should know about:

Okay so obviously there’s a lot of problems with this passage, ranging from Rock apparently being mortal and the cats from the Lake being described as a Tribe. It can be safely assumed this isn’t canon anymore following Power and Omen, since those books have the Lake Cats going on to create the Tribe of Rushing Water, with their current hierarchy system being created THERE instead of being brought from the lake.

But THREE TRIBES! There are THREE TRIBES!!!

I KNOW this passage doesn’t matter after being decanonized but CONSIDER THERE BEING THREE GODDAMN TRIBES!!!

The real question is how would this fit into the current reality? I personally think that, sometime between the Tribe being founded and the Clan Founders splitting off from the Tribe, the Tribe actually split into three groups and this goes unmentioned by Dawn of the Clans because it’s like, not important enough to think about. Why is this unmentioned in the current books? Idk, why was it unmentioned in New Prophecy?
