## Territory

Stormclan's territory is, mainly, thick evergreen forest consisting of
trees like firs and pines, which tends to be foggy. The land slopes
upwards to a mountain peak, where the trees thin out until they are
entirely replaced with snow and ice.
Atop
 this peak is what seems to be an abandoned observatory. There are many
books on astrology and well as telescopes which, on a clear night, can
pick up the finest details in the sky, like a comet's tail burning out,
or a yellowish planet circling ever-so-slowly around the earth.
A
 chilly river runs through the ground level forest, effectively
splitting it in half. This stream is practically brimming with fish,
just waiting to be caught. It also provides a water source for both the
clan and its prey, making it the perfect spot for hunting game.
A
 little way away on the other side of the river to the mountain is an
overgrown railway track. It is surrounded by curving bushes that form a
tunnel-like shape. One train car remains on it a little way ahead where
the bushes diminish. It is dusty and old, but contains resources such as
 coal, as well as books and other treasures.

## History

### The Covenant Era

The Covenant has a history that reaches before the vast majority of
groups today, dating as far back as 2005. Many, many years ago, an old
leader named Oakstar brought his Clan to the forest. This Clan was called StormClan. They were looking for their lost deputy, Firestone, and settled in the middle of WindClan's
 territory. Needless to say, WindClan weren't happy with this. The
StormClan of old were nowhere near what they are like today. Their
warriors acted like rogues, although they maintained a sense of
nobility.

Such behavior back then led to the creation of DawnClan, a
combination of three Clans. StormClan combined its forces with the
second incarnation of BloodClan (led by Cloudstar, Scourge's great-granddaughter) and SunClan (led by Ravenstar, who had been exiled from RiverClan after killing a cat in a bout of insanity). And while the ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and DarkClan fought, DawnClan grew stronger.

Presumably due to their affiliation with DawnClan, plus the
living-on-WindClan's-territory dilemma, they were almost wiped out by ShadowClan. Dragonstar, the leader at the time, joined RiverClan and became their deputy by the new name of Dragonclaw. Others who weren't killed in battle followed him to RiverClan.
 They would interbreed and produce descendants, and StormClan would
gradually be forgotten. This all happened in June-July 2006.

Seasons later, when Cougarstar was RiverClan's leader, he created a police force. And, by order of StarClan,
 he started enforcing the warrior code more strictly. However, when a
rebellion in RiverClan's camp forced Cougarstar to repeal the actions,
several cats, including Newdesires (the reincarnation of Dragonstar), Taintedstorm, Planetarygo, Revivalstar, Whipstar, and Clayfoot,
 plus other cats, broke off from RiverClan to restart StormClan.
Cougarstar had received a prophecy of the return of StormClan, which
went as follows:

*"StormClan lives in them.

Remember, the one who sees through the eyes of the Dragon will split the river into weak streams, tainted of red."*

This time, they would follow StarClan and the traditional warrior code, a
 practice that has continued today through several leaders — Newstar and Taintedstar, Planetarystar, and Revivalstar and Whipstar.
 The name was changed from StormClan to The Covenant, a word that
reflects the pact made between StarClan and its believers in the Clan.
After Revivalstar's death succeeding a battle with PhantomClan, Whipstar became the sole leader of the Covenant. He eventually brought on a co-leader, Repeatingstar, but she has presumably disappeared. Fangstar became his next co-leader. Divisions to further enrich and build upon the skill set of the Clan's warriors have been created.

Fangstar died, however, leaving Whipstar as the lone leader
again. He organized an expedition to find their very original territory,
 under StarClan's words that by discovering their past, he can learn how
 to navigate the future. However, events causing the Dominion and DarkClan
 to declare war on them has brought his party back home. Upon his
return, Whipstar immediately recovered the Covenant's neutral status
with the Dominion and DarkClan, removed the divisions, and enacted other
 various changes.

Whipstar died, leaving Minx to become the leader. When Minx fell inactive, the Council of the Stars demoted her, and promoted Masked Aema in her place. Masked stepped down to deal with family members, and Dragoondawn stepped up as the next leader. Dragoonstar, as he got his lives, was told

"The Stars will fall and a new dawn will come as the guilds assemble."

Troubled by these words, he went home to think on them. His birth name had been Dragoon that Assembles at Dawn,
 so the message must pertain to him. He decided that they must have
meant for him to set up guilds, but to do this, he knew that they’d have
 to drift even more than they had from Starclan. So Dragoonstar set up a
 meeting to announce the new guilds, a change from proclan to neutral
status, along with the announcement of his deputies, Pavel and Littlesteps. Littlesteps
 was eventually promoted to co-leader beside Dragoonstar. While the Clan
 has changed dramatically from their roots, they are still the same
fierce, formidable Clan.
