Warrior Cats has a NEW Clan!

For the first time since 2007, Warrior Cats has introduced a new Clan into the series!

[Laura-ylde]

Stormclan was my first clangen
I'm so joyful since Stormclan is canon now
I also love the Wildcats

[Meekitty]

This feels like a fanfic and I AM SO HERE FOR IT.

[mth-flightV]

The way I audibly sighed and thought “NOT AGAIN..” but now I’m lowkey excited

[SonicTheArchie]

Nah, every second person will need to re-name their custom clan now💀

[sneezingcat]

My biggest criticism (maybe less criticism and more…well I don’t know what else it would be, a funny joke in my mind)is that the warriors cats books are only NOW doing what warriors cats fans have been successfully doing for since the first books came out. Moonpaw having Heterochromia, two leader cross clan relationship, introducing wild cats, stormclan for gods sake. It’s all kind of funny to me.

I just realized that what happens to faded spirits is kinda like the song called can’t catch me now, with the
“I’m in the trees I’m in the breeze my footsteps on the ground”
“You see my face, in everyplace, but you can’t catch me now”
Part
Edit: I’m crying wtf there’s so many alterhumans 😭

Oh God, that part in the book where Galestar had said she was happy not to be in StarClan broke my heart. Their story was heartbreaking. I actually really liked this super edition. It was a very good look into how grief can just cause you to be stagnant in life if you don't move on. But moving on doesn't mean forgetting. It just means that you accept the loss.

I haven't read the book but I doubt either leader knew about thunder's mother. So them naming it storm clan is an unintentional show of respect to the first thunderclan leader in a way.

Me reading the title:
Edit: I just realized I haven’t read IvyPool’s heart and got spoiled rotten by Akira but eh it’s fine

[OceanGlow-jvkj]

I feel like I should be more excited about the idea of StormClan, but I am jumping with joy about the wildcats! Seeing the cats interacting with another feline species makes me so happy

(Edit: This books worst offense is that they named a loner Jake)

(Edit 2: Petition for Erin Hunter to add PanClan to the series)

Guys...My sibling and I figured out that Stripestar and Galestar were during after Owlstar and Gorsestar. Because the third leaders Whitestar and Duststar have no ancient names with the clans. For example: Ryewhisker and Cloudberry.

Other names were Tumble Leap, Stalk Purr, Prowl Sleek, Spring Claw, and Hunt Growl. These are ancient names example: Moth Flight. So the names are ancient and are from after Owlstar and Gorsestar's reign. Because Owlstar, he was the leader after the death of Thunderstar. Gorsestar was the leader after the death of Windstar. This is my thoughts with my sibling.

i've had an ancient headcanon that tigerstar was actually part-scottish wildcat, to explain his aggression and larger stature, not super related, but its fun to have the wildcats acknowledged in the books.

Modern warrior cats is starting to feel more like a fanfiction and I'm lowkey in love with that fact

[Spitfire-Acid]

What’s great is how realistic the Gale’Star and Scottish Wildcats thing is. They’re an endangered species, partly *because they would breed with domestic cats.*

Also, thank goodness that we now know Warriors is set somewhere in Scotland or very North England.

I like the way StormClan was created.
Me and my partners wrote a series of fanfics revolving around our fanmade Clans and one of them was made just like that: two leaders saying: "You know what? To Hell with everyone! Let's become one, because I want to be with you!".
The second one ìwas made from more Clans uniting as well, but not out of relationship reasons and had a different hierarchy, ancestors and laws.

Also love that we finally see real wildcats😍

A NEW CLAN?! STORMCLAN IS SUCH A COOL NAME! I’M

[Toastedtaters]

He's here
He's there
He's everywhere
Who you gonna call
Nature spirit Stripestar

[LFuzzyKitty]

i need to read this book now! a forbidden romance between leaders leading to a new clan sounds so cool!

[rowenaravenclaw]

Oh this is gonna be fun for the translators. I know in finnish, Thunderclan is translated as Stormclan (propably because the literal translation wouldn't have sounded as good next to the other clan names, also in dawn of the clans Storm and Thunder's names are flipped to fit the existing tanslation) and now they have to figure out what to swap this new clan's name for, so that it still fits as a merging of Windclan and "Stormclan".

[JustaSamoyed]

I wonder how the cats across the globes live.... Like the feral cats in Australia, the U.S, and Egypt in this universe since the five clans are in England.
