Ｂｒｏｏｋｃｌａｎ
Long ago, there were four clans situated around what is now known as the lake of stars. Though the clans had their differences, they lived rather peacefully with the exception of quarrels and the odd breaking of rules.
However, they had no knowledge of the disease rising behind their backs. When it hit, it was quickly known as the Plague, having killed many cats within the span of a moon, weakening the clans more and more as the days passed. It was quick, and the clan leaders had to do something or else the existence of the clans would all but disappear. And so, each clan sent five of their strongest cats on a journey to find a new home, to start anew, to create a new clan, one that would hopefully discover the cure for the disease and return to bring the clans with them.
The journey was long and difficult, several died along the way due to starvation, fights with outsiders, and being forced to face the elements they just weren't ready for. The survivors suffered from not only physical, but also psychological problems when they finally discovered their new home.
They found themselves in the shelter of a lush gorge, plentiful in water, prey and herbs, and it didn't take them long to settle down, fixing it up well enough to be considered a real home. Their medicine cat discovered new ways of treatment, and eventually they took with them several cats, and they journeyed back to the lake with the treatment meant for the disease.
But when they returned, the cats went into a state of grief at the news of the death of their clans. But they pulled through, determined to establish the gorge as a place where the future generations could feel safe, protected from the dangers of the outside world such as famine, drought, disease, and outsiders.
They came to be known as Brookclan the Great, the cats of the misty gorge, fierce fighters, excellent hunters, and a force to be reckoned with.
