Everything started many moons ago when the leader of the Shadowclan, who was named Silverstar, decided to forgo the Warrior's Code. At first, the cats were outraged with the outright blasphemy but Silverstar reasoned, that it was the Code's doing that there were clans. If there was no code, then won't the cats finally live in peace? They wouldn't have to separate themselves into different clans. Without the code, they could be just one big clan. His reason seemed sound this his clan members as it actually made sense to them. And so, they did not hesitate to become mate to whomever they wished, they hunted wherever they wished.
At the first Gathering, the other clan leaders were displeased with Silverstar's lack of concern for his cats. They questioned him why he let his cats do as they wished and so he answered. They, like his own followers, were at first outraged by the idea but soon found its merits. They decided to try out this new way of thinking and swore that they would make their stand on the next Gathering.
At the Gathering, they were pleased with the idea and so were most of their clan members. Those who were not pleased were the elders, having lived their lives under the rules of the code and ultimately, the Starclan. Even medicine cats approved of the new laws, finally being able to mate as they pleased and not be held by traditions. The elders, before they all passed away left a warning to the cats that their insolence and blasphemy would bring them troubled times.
Despite the elders' warnings and the Starclan's hold over the cats weakening, hence the lack of dreams to the medicine cats, which disturbed them at first, the clan achieved what they can call real peace for the first time in many generations. Several moons passed until the Starclan's grasp finally disappeared. Then disaster struck.
A famine struck, forcing the cats to clans, according to their skills, as they have to find different lands for their food. With clans back and more vicious towards each other than ever, will the cats today, all descendants of the traitors to the Starclan ever redeem themselves in the eyes of the Starclan and remain loyal to them and their code? Or will they find a way to return to that blissful peace they had before the famine struck?
