Skyfall: RiverClan Leadership During The Code Building Era
RiverClan leaders during the Code Building Era. This era encapsulates the beginnings of the Warrior Code, i.e. laws 1 through 8, all of which were made in a fairly short period of time all things considered. 4 of the 6 leaders here were leader during the creation of a new law. Only Goosestar and Darkstar were not. Splashstar was around for 3.
Emberstar (Embersplash) - He reigned from 1789 to 1797 and was among the leaders that made the first law of the warrior code. His daughter, Cloudberry, was mates with the WindClan warrior Ryewhisker. Their relationship and the tragic result caused the creation of the Warrior Code.
Goosestar (Goosestripe) - Goosestar reigned from 1798 to 1803. [He was designed to look like a barnacle goose lol)
Darkstar the First (Darkwillow) - Darkstar, sometimes referred to as Darkstar the First to differentiate her from the later Darkstar of Mapleshade fame, reigned from 1803 to 1807. She was the leader to instigate the battles between ThunderClan and RiverClan over Sunningrocks. Human projects on the river caused it's course to change, causing Sunningrocks to become part of the ThunderClan side of the river. The conflict over these rocks would continue for the rest of the clans' time in the forest.
Splashstar (Splashheart) - He reigned from 1808 to 1813 and was part of the creation of an astounding 3 laws of the warrior code, 1 of which he introduced. He is considered one of RiverClan's greatest leaders.
Troutstar (Troutscale) - They reigned from 1813 to 1818 and introduced the 6th law of the Warrior Code (the warrior's vigil) at the suggestion of his priest, Meadowpelt.
Rainstar (Rainripple) - She reigned from 1818 to 1823 and was leader during the introduction of the 7th and 8th laws of the warrior code. She had a fierce rivalry with SkyClan leader Beechstar, a conflict that would ultimately result in both of their deaths within the same season.
