"There is no Clan in the forest so true or so brave. I respect and admire the other Clans, but my heart is here, with ThunderClan- the Clan of heroes, the Clan of compassion, the Clan of destiny."

Thunderclan History

ThunderClan has been around for just as long as any of the other Clans. Everyone knows it was named after the first leader, Thunderstar and that it's been known to hold sturdy, strong cats that maneuver well through the thick undergrowth of their home forests. Some of the recent happenings would surprise everyone though. Not every cat knows exactly what lies in the past and even present of this mighty Clan. Well now is the moment of truth.

It all really began when Monkeystar was still Thunderclan leader and Brightstar was Riverclan's. Tensions had always been high over Sunningrocks. One day, RiverClan cats were found announcing that the rocks were theirs and a fight occured. This was a battle that was won by RiverClan and haunted the minds of warriors for moons. The bloody rivalry has been put to rest though and most of ThunderClan has accepted that it was their loss.

A few moons after the Sunningrocks battle came the attacks against IceClan. A ShadowClan warrior was held captive in IceClan's fortress, poisoned and this was not to be accepted. Monkeystar had decided to aid ShadowClan since they would be a strong ally as did Riverclan. The Clans that helped take the warrior back were inraged by how unjust it was to torture and possibly kill a cat in such a way. When they were told there was a possible cure, plenty of cats scrambled to help find it while others snuck into the fortress to help the attack. Eventually the warrior, Shadowstorm was retrieved and cured from the poison that nearly killed him. Plenty of cats have never forgotten this and hold grudges against the snowy cats of the mountains. They are convinced that the snowy winds envelop IceClan cats' hearts, freezing them into a cold, uncaring block of ice. Plenty of elders tell cats that this is how they got their name. No particularly bad or good alliances are held with these mysteriosu cat though. Everyone is still quite cautious.

After long moons of peace in ThunderClan, the whole group mysteriously disappeared. No one knew where they went, some thinking that once Monkeystar died that it just collapsed into chaos. In reality, the group really had collapsed. Everyone's ideals were mixed and this caused inner-Clan battles. Finally, the once great ThunderClan split up, some sticking together and others going off to be loners. The ones that did stay together were nomads, travelling to see where to settle next and trying to recruit new warriors so they could rebuild ThunderClan. The loners were never seen again, only a rare few cooling off in time to find their Clan mates.

When every cat in the now nomadic ThunderClan finally agreed on a temporary territory, they checked out their new home. It ended up being a far-off rainforest full of snakes, poisonous frogs, and exotic plants. Many dangerous, large predators also thrived in these wet forests, but the group was strong. Several cats were saddened that they couldn't find their old home now that they were ready to rejoing the other Clans, but there wasn't much the Clan could do but settle and search nearby. Food, water, and shelter was needed for the young and old ones as well as the weakened.

Now that they have finally started falling back into Clan life, Snowlily was chosen as ThunderClan's new leader for her mental and physical strength as well as her logical mind set. Although plenty warriors didn't trust the white she-cat at first for her IceClan origins, she proved herself more than qualified to lead her peers and even chose a great deputy named Rogueblossom. The two she-cats built the Clan from the bottom up and has made ThunderClan survive through possibly th toughest challenge it's faced yet.

The medicine cat, Redleaf was chosen through dreams. StarClan taught her about herbs and the like while she slept, one ancestor in particular even appearing in her waking hours to access her knowledge. Once the she-cat was done with her training, she was made a full-fledges healer and took on Heatherpaw as her apprentice. The duo are currently helping the Clan with torn pads among other injuries from the new terf and the long journey to get there.

Soon after becoming a medicine cat, StarClan came back to Redleaf in her dreams again. It wasn't a normal check up on how her duties were fairing, but to inform her that another rank was needed in order to help ThunderClan survive. The ancient cats told her that there was a strong warrior amongst the others that would bring the Clan not only great honor, but provide the best advice possible in these hard times from her long moons of rogueship. This cat was a large Maine Coon she-cat named Lightningstorm. ThunderClan had picked her up somewhere along the way and the feline had been helpful in many sticky situations. Although she could be hot-headed, gruff, and sharp-tongued, Lightningstorm had a great strategic mind and tended to be more observant than most. Redleaf reported this to Snowstar and she did as StarClan told her, naming the rank Chief Advisor for the fact that this rank was the same level as Medicine Cat and Deputy, but offered mostly advice for hard situations. The cat that held this position was highly respected like the rest of the high positions, but mainly because he or she was chosen for their tact and complex history not only in battle but strategy.

ThunderClan is doing well in its new home and is unknowingly about to be found by RiverClan to help cure a sickness spreading through the water Clan's ranks. This will also bring them back to the forest after their long hiatus.

I really like those so far. Anyone else have any thoughts on these? And if members outside the clan want to contribute pictures and ideas for landmarks too they will be welcomed. Smile

by **Scarlett** May 7th 2013, 01:26

I have made updates to the Allegiances, Relationships, the territory maps, the special attributes and so far I have added one of the photos to the landmarks piece. If anyone from any clan would like to contribute I would sure appreciate some pictures of the landmarks labeled in the Thunderclan map. Wave

People like you are dedicated warriors. Spending hours on something for our cats. I'm impressed.

Here's the History, Snow ouo" :

I like your Clan sheet, Snowstar! It's obvious you put a lot of time and thought into this. It's very detailed and pretty ^^ Just one thing though! Isn't ThunderClan's C supposed to be capitalized? I just noticed that throughout the whole thing it's not. Minor mistake maybe?

by **Scarlett** July 22nd 2013, 17:42

Thanks. And actually I am pretty sure that throughout the book the C isn't capitalized. Smile

by **Nyx** July 22nd 2013, 17:49

Actually I think Keres is right. Razz

On my kindle I have almost all of the Omen of the Stars series and all of the Clans are written like, "ThunderClan," "RiverClan," "ShadowClan," "WindClan."

Even on the Official Warrior Cats site it's written like that:

by **Scarlett** July 22nd 2013, 18:07

Maybe. It's been years since I read the books so I don't exactly remember. Worst case scenario we edit it I guess
