"They've been silent for so many moons!" One voice cried out. "When will they give us answers?" Another demanded. Soon the entire cave was echoing with cats distraught by the Tribe of Wishing Stars' betrayal. "What about our kits?" A queen's outraged voice called.

The she-cat observed the chaos from atop the Speaking Ledge, her tail bristling and ears flattened. "Silence!" She demanded. As the voices died down, she continued. "I know that Starwatcher has been...out of commission lately, but this does not give any cat right to blame our ancestors just for not speaking! Even they may not know what is to come for this Tribe."

A young tom spoke. "Well if they do not know, are they even to be trusted any longer?" This caused more rumors to pass around the cave.

The she-cat growled. "Is it our place to decide whether our ancestors are right or wrong? Make no mistake, they are not deities, and even their knowledge only goes so far."

The young tom called again. "Still, they should've warned us that half of our Tribe would be dead in a moon from the Red Darkness!"

The she-cat yet again huffed in annoyance. "Our Tribe will prosper, trust me well on that. We must be patient, and wait for our sign."

PLOT REMINDER (PLEASE READ): There is a major divide between the Tribe currently, causing many arguments. A sickness (aka Red Darkness for the blood coughed out by those affected) hit last season, and The Tribe of Wishing Stars has not been seen in many moons, even to give the newest Starwatcher their consult or any new information. It is now Greenleaf, and the sun is shining, but tensions are still subtly rising...

RANKS: Starwatcher (the 'leader' and oracle of the Tribe, DO NOT HAVE nine lives), Second (the 'deputy' of the Tribe, next in line for Starwatcher), Medics (healers of the Tribe, typically 3-4 at once), Battalion (the 'warriors' of the Tribe; a single member is known as a Battalion member), Kit-Keepers (cats who watch over kits and entertain them, queens included), Novices (the 'apprentices' of the Tribe, training to be Battalion members), Kits (the kits of the Tribe), Storytellers (the older cats of the tribe who aid the Kit-Keepers by telling stories and passing on wisdom to those younger than themselves).

TRADITIONS: It is customary in the Tribe for kits to learn as much as they can before they become novices. Storytellers often tell them about what its like to be a battalion member, their duties and the struggles that entail. Medics help kits seeking the path of becoming a healer, but assure its no easier than the life of a battalion member. Kits become novices at 8 moons and novices join the battalion between 12-14 moons based on their learning speed. It is tradition for the Tribe to eat together at dawn, noon and dusk, and no cat is permitted to eat before or after then unless strictly given permission by the Starwatcher or medics. Patrols are sent out during the night and after dawn and noon, two during the day and three during the night. Two guards are put on duty outside to make sure the cave is safe. Starwatchers travel to consult the Tribe of Wishing Stars in the Cave of Prophecies every full-moon, accompanied by a medic.

CEREMONIES: When a kit becomes a novice, it is done so by word of the Starwatcher in the Speaking Cave. Then the novice must travel with the Starwatcher to the Cave of Prophecies to be approved by their ancestors. This is the same for novices becoming medics, kit-keepers or joining the battalion. When the Second becomes Starwatcher, through retiring or death, they travel to the Cave of Prophecies to be given their consult by the former Starwatcher. The 'consult' is when the former Starwatcher tells the new one a message of what may come. This may foretell their defeat, or maybe their eternal happiness. It is hard to tell and many Starwatchers are driven mad by what this could mean. When a battalion member, medic or kit-keeper retires, they are given a farewell from the Tribe and become Storytellers.

TERRITORY: The camp is in a cave. Overall, the territory is flat with very tall trees and is constantly cool in temperature. The Cave of Prophecies is in a cave connected by tunnel from the main camp cave.

PREY: Songbirds, the occasional osprey or sparrow, squirrels and chipmunks, wood mice, shrews and voles.

PREDATORS: Badgers, bears, fishers (the animal).

NAMING: Naming follows traditional tribe naming (ex. Bird that Observes Cloud). The Starwatcher is called Starwatcher.
