ShadowClan Patch Notes

For the big rewrite I’m doing. Here is a compilation of the biggest changes I’m doing to ShadowClan for the first arc. In particular, there are major changes to 1. Brokenstar, 2. ShadowClan culture and history, and 3. various background characters.

Timeline things are also slightly shuffled around, as well as some family tree rewrites to allow modern ShadowClan to be ‘cleaner‘ genetically.

I’m tentatively calling a story I would tell with these changes “Brokenstar’s Cataclysm,“ replacing Yellowfang’s Secret (which is a book I beef with)

Brokenstar Changes:

First of all, Brokenstar’s reign lasts MUCH longer. It’s several years, not six months, and he was deputy for a long time before that.

StarClan desperately tried to prevent him from being born. In fact, they’ve been stalling since SkyClan’s Exile by strictly controlling medicine cats, but his arrival was inevitable.

There were once five trees at ‘fourtrees‘, but after the exile, one fell over and cracked in half against the Highrock. It was an omen; his broken tail resembles it.

He even looks like a SkyClan warrior, actually. His back legs are huge, his paws are thick, he’s very good at climbing and was excellent at ambushing his opponents from above.

He did not kill Raggedstar nine times, and was his loyal deputy through a long-standing war with WindClan. It was started by Heatherstar long ago for full control of the Mothermouth moors.

Most importantly, he isn’t ‘born evil.‘ He was born angry. He has a short fuse and a ruthless sense of justice, his tyrannical mindset is given to him by the clans and is an extreme reflection of the clan’s battle culture, not an innate lack of morals.

Culture Changes:

WindClan abandoned the tunneler role because of this war; enlisting all of their skilled diggers as above-ground warriors and letting the peaceful tradition die in order to win.

Because of fury with this war, ShadowClan is willing to do whatever it takes to fight back.

The war has been going since before Yellowfang was even born; 

Brokenstar can’t remember a time they weren’t fighting.

ShadowClan often has to push into ThunderClan and even RiverClan territory when times get especially rough. 

Brokenstar has never seen another clan offer aid.

Honor is gradually eroded from both clans; the first code that ShadowClan becomes lax about is “a warrior does not need to kill to win their battles.“ The rest follow.

When Tallstar became leader, he decided to uphold Heatherstar’s legacy and keep the contested moorland in gracious “exchange” for aid.

Brokenstar has never seen another clan admit they were wrong.

ShadowClan becomes VERY divided on Brokenstar’s methods. He’s ruthless and rules with iron claws; but because of them, they won a war that lasted three generations.

Supporting Cast Changes:

Lizardstripe

No longer cartoonishly abusive. She’s harsh, mean, and has a sadistic sense of humor... but is greatly respected in her clan.

She really shouldn’t have been a parent though. She treats her kittens like warriors and expects the three of them to sort things out between themselves.

When she’s bored she tends to run ‘exercises,‘ which tend to be too harsh to be age-appropriate. Her kits are in the medicine den a lot for small injuries.

Sagewhisker prevents Yellowfang from arguing, overprotective of causing suspicion.

Lizardstripe is less of an ‘adoptive mother‘ to Brokenkit and more of a wet nurse. He’s allowed to join their exercises though... acclimating him to the idea of training kits early.

Mudfoot (previously Mudclaw; the only name changes I’m making are for repeat characters) was a really cool dude, but a very traditional mate who didn’t help Lizardstripe out a lot.

He dies of overworking himself in the middle of a leafbare, when there wasn’t enough food to go around.

This became a formative memory for Brokenpaw.

Raggedstar

Overly permissive just like in canon

His nine lives are tragically short, lost in battles, greencough outbreaks, and general starvation because of the war.

His last, weary act was going to be accepting Tallstar’s offer of aid to end the war he’d fought his whole life, giving WindClan the mothermouth moorland in the process

He was on his last life.

Brokenstar wouldn’t let that happen. He couldn’t let that happen. If he did, then what was all that suffering even for?

Runningnose

Brokenstar’s close confidant, his most important supporter.

Runny has a KNACK for manipulation and rule-bending.

Appointed as medicine cat apprentice by Raggedstar at Brokenpaw’s insistence.

Yellowfang didn’t like it but when has Raggedstar ever listened to the woman who’s right all the time?

She knew she couldn’t just reject him entirely so she went for the pride by saying, “Fine but I’ll get to pick his medicine cat name and it’s not going to be nice.“

StarClan didn’t want to talk to Runningnose at first, but then he responded to that by being super OK with talking to Dark Forest warriors.

After that StarClan spoke to him a lot more, like they were jealous or something.

Runny and Broken are extremely close, always running their schemes by each other. The smarter things are usually Runny’s ideas. Brute force is Broken’s calling card.

Runny came up with a lot of dark warfare ideas. He’d cover the claws of warriors in deathberry juice before a battle, he braided thorns into long fur. BloodClan would have been impressed.

He would neeeeever leave ShadowClan without a proper leader... but Nightstar is so frail, imagine what would happen if there was some sort of... epidemic.

How lucky for them that Tigerclaw happened to be in the right place at the right time! Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Deerfoot and Tangleburr

Indicative of the two ‘halves‘ of ShadowClan politically speaking

Deerfoot is a rebel, Tangleburr is a loyalist.

Tangleburr follows Brokenstar into exile, reconciling with Deerfoot when she re-joins ShadowClan under Tigerstar.

Deerfoot is eventually executed at the Bonehill after being caught helping Mistyfoot and the apprentices escape. He refuses to rat out any of his accomplices.

Tangleburr is devastated by this, but eventually outlives her entire litter and survives well into OOTS

I plan to use her as a background elder and give her a few kittens so ShadowClan isn’t just... SnowbirdClan.

She comes to terms with the way she was mistreated in childhood, and makes an effort to be better to her own children.

Newtspeck, Littlecloud, Rowanclaw

Newtspeck is in a sort of Goldenflower arrangement with Brokenstar.

They aren’t lovers, but she admires him enough to ask him to surrogate her kittens.

The two kits, Littlekit and Rowankit, are made apprentices at 3 moons. She supports this, swept up by ShadowClan’s bloodlust.

Brownpaw and Wetfoot are not hers; they’re swapped into Darkflower’s litter, making them Cedarheart’s brothers.

Newtspeck is a supporter of Brokenstar who fights for him during the battle, but doesn’t follow him into exile.

Brokenstar and Runningnose don’t think much of the two kits, but after Littlecloud survives the rat sickness epidemic, Runny sees a lot of his father in him.

He took him as his apprentice with great fondness, amused at how smart and adorable the little guy is.

Littlecloud has a special interest in prophecies, StarClan, the warrior code, basically everything to do with clan culture. His mouth runs a million miles a minute. Runny likes how it fills up the silence.

Rowanclaw has a harder time finding his place, eventually taking out his complicated feelings through a rivalry with Tawnypelt.

Newtspeck fun facts

Chanterellefang’s awakening and first courting partner. The two didn’t become partners, however, due to the simple desire to stay platonic ( + Raggedclaw relentlessly chasing and courting Chanterellefang…)

Single mother of Aroges Champignonpelt (Cloudpelt); the two were incredibly close as a mother-son pair, and she was devastated by his death. She and Chanterellefang mourned privately over his loss together for several moons. She took an interest in Chanterellefang’s litter, and Chanterellefang had expressed she would have requested one of her kits be named in light of Newtspeck’s son if the stars had turned in their favor.

Retired early due to early arthritis. Despite this, she still goes out on patrols or hunts on occasion; she dislikes feeling lazy and doesn’t have the heart for history that many of her fellow historians do.

You did say you were going to write a full post on Littlecloud so feel free to save this kinda info for that. But what was Littlecloud's relationship with his mentor like?

Littlecloud will get a whole entry on his entire life, so I can cover Runningnose real quick

So, Littlecloud was born to Newtspeck as a result of honor-siring. This means, socially, there's no obligation for the sire to actually be involved with the kits... though they'll usually end up thinking highly of them.

Honor-siring is complimentary to the Queen's Rights. No one has to talk about it openly if they don't want to.

Anyway, when the kits were born, Brokenstar and Runningnose were not impressed. ESPECIALLY with Littlekit. They just kinda wrote them off as extra kits for ShadowClan and pushed them into the same early training as the rest.

(though in this rewrite, they don't push early apprentices into battles... except during the WindClan Massacre where they were promoted into Warriors early for the full assault.)

And that was where they were for a long time. Then Brokenstar got deposed, Nightstar took over, Runningnose didn't like him so he started a little sickness by bringing back some carrion rats. He expected Littlecloud to die, really.

But he pulled through, miraculously, and then he was OBSESSED with herbs. BEGGING Runny to take him on as an apprentice and it was like... um, ok? That was when they started to really bond, because Runningnose actually sees a lot of Brokenstar in him. The parts others never really got to see.

The way Littlecloud has one thing on his mind all the time, his personal sense of justice, the passion... Even the way he spoke sometimes. And he was so smart, such an attentive learner...

He loves him like a son. Like the last piece of his glory days, manifest. He thinks training him is a good note to end on.

The End of Runningnose

See, Bonefall Runningnose never really gets 'redeemed.' His last nefarious action, however, is to give Blackstar a choice. He reminds him that there are other allies in the sky, should StarClan fail to hear his pleas... and that's the last scheme.

Because Blackstar chooses StarClan, and by extension, its new Fire Alone direction.

He's not perfect. Blackstar's still not a GREAT person, still aggressive, reactionary, and slow to accept help. It's a looong process and he's only mildly better by TNP, but THIS is where he chooses that he IS going to work on it.

And Runningnose understands that the tides are changing, leading the clans somewhere new and unknown, leaving him behind.

He might end up being one of the cats who stays with BloodClan at the old territories, or he may make the journey just to stay close to Littlecloud.

If he makes the journey, he'll probably be dealing with a sense of obsolescence. Changing is very difficult for him, feeling like he isn't needed... and traveling with WindClan?? What have the Clans even COME to???
