DuneRunners & MoonPacers.
DuneRunner : mostly riverclan and wind clan cats
The Dune Runners are a pack of small but sturdy cats, they live in a rocky beach and live in the high up cliffs when the tide rises at night. They are deeply out of touch with Starclan. Most cats in this clan believe the Starclan doesn't exist and its just a silly myth elders tell kits to make them be good.
MoonPacers: mostly shadow clan and thunderclan cats
The Moon Pacers are usually Large, bulky cats who travel, hunt, and live at night. They are nomads who settle only when necessary or during the cold seasons. While they aren't in touch with Starclan, they do believe that starclan exists and are endlessly traveling to find the cats with pelts made of stars like the stories their elders pass on.
(Note: Wolves are mentioned and are part of the main plot point in the turning point of the clans. I am aware that these boooks take place in southern England and theres no wild wolves there because they were hunted to extiction. But i dont care so... just ignore that :3 ty besties)
An unknown amount of years after the events of the main warrior cats series, the lake territory has started going dry, and one heated new leaf Two legs and monsters have started moving into shadowclan, tearing up the land, scaring off the prey, demolishing the forest and slowly moving into other clans territories.
All four clans decide that, for the hope of clan life, they must move.
During a thunderstorm the clans struggle to find shelter, forcing them to merely hide from the weather among the trees. While in the trees they don't realize they're in the territory of wolves. The clans are attacked. Countless are murdered, and the cats are scattered. The remaining eventually reconvene into two groups. Each group tries to find each other but for generations. The search is fruitless.
Years later, the clans have faded into a distant talltail, as have starclan, now just myths used to scare kits into being good. The DuneRunners have settled into the rocky, tunnel-filled cliffs of a secluded beach, they’re happy how they are. However, the other clan, The MoonPacers, are still searching for their roots, Starclan is real to them but they've yet to figure out how to speak with them. In their travels, These nomads come across the DuneRunners.
The MoonPacers are insistent that Starclan does insist and the DuneRunners should be searching for them as well. But the DuneRunners disagree, they've lived without Starclan for generations and don't understand why they'd need to make believe ghosts to tell them what to do.
(Note: This is just the very basic stuff its obviously gonna be fleshed out more lol. Also this might be a little bit of a manifestation of religious truama... ignore that to.)
