The Place of No Stars

The Place of No Stars, also known as The Dark Forest, is where cats who have severely broken the code and have committed heinous crimes walk, and is the opposite of StarClan. They walk in a dark, foggy forest where no prey walks, containing a dark river and a lake that's filled with sluggish water that has a consistency akin to mud. The longer a resident stays in the Dark Forest the more powerful they become, the oldest known cat being Redcloud. A StarClan cat who spends too much time in the Dark Forest will become a Dark Forest cat themselves.
Dark Forest cats keep their wounds and scars upon awakening in The Dark Forest if killed by physical means, stuck as forever bleeding wounds. Cats who died via other means such as drowning or poisoning tend to have different traits, such as Ripplepool constantly having a soaked pelt, Scorchedrose's pelt constantly appearing singed and smelling of smoke, and the back of Stormsight's head being slightly caved in. They do not have stars in their pelt unless they are formerly of StarClan. Cats like Coalflame, Sweetsong, Galestar, and Lionpaw all have stars in their pelt still, however they're smudged and faded slightly.
Though they share a border with StarClan, Dark Forest cats cannot pass into StarClan, locked in the forest by a barrier. However, they can lure cats in, speak over the border, or trap cats within The Dark Forest.
=== Relation to Living Cats ===
Dark Forest cats can pull living cats into The Dark Forest by accessing their dreams. This is typically done to cats who are misfortuned, leading to Dark Forest warriors manipulating them into training with them to cause harm to the clans. The only exception to this is Redcloud, who instead took Spidereyes in as a kit and gave her training with no ulterior motive. If a living cat dies within The Dark Forest, they're stuck within it permanently in death.
Dark Forest cats can also create fake omens and prophecies as well, usually affecting the physical realm rather than verbal ones. They can appear within the physical realm and harm others or simply speak to them, though most watch over living cats invisibly.
