## The Society

The Society event started in early April, 2020 (Newleaf in roleplay) with a massive drought affecting the Clans. This primarily affected DustClan and GladeClan, although ReedClan water levels were lowered and CavernClan saw a decrease in prey. A fire ravaged GladeClan, forcing them to move to the LionClan stones as a camp.

The first major event was the decision by all Clan leaders (except Canyonstar) to close the borders and not assist eachother. Failure to comply would result in punishments with ambiguous but implied severity. This inspired a counter-movement, where cats organized at night in the Gathering place and traded herbs, prey, and word. Over time, the movement grew, and eventually they spoke about expanding to unite the four Clans.

There were eight founders: Lynxshine (Caracal), Gingerblaze (Flare), Larkpaw (Melody), Deerfur (Stag), Ghosthaze (Phantom), Gustchill (Wind), Rosyfreckle (Blush), and Fogwhisper (Shell). Later they gained new members, such as Badgerpatch (Mask), Scorchpaw (Hope), Dahliawhisper (Veil), and Creamshine (Flower).

Suspicion quickly grew as more prey was in the freshkill pile than usual. Boarstar sent Hollowpaw to investigate, however the cat was indoctrinated and took on the name Flame.

Briefly, the prey shared from ReedClan contained poison. This was because Hawthornstar made a deal to gain prey from Kacius, however The Glinting Claws leader tricked him and gave him poisonous prey.

Eventually, Canyonstar was brought into the secret society. Unlike the other Clan leaders, he openly expressed a desire for the Clans to accept him. He agreed to merge GladeClan with the society. In early May, Canyonstar (who had since adopted the society-name, Sun) announced that the society and GladeClan would merge. This resulted in a split with GladeClan: one half became The Society, and the other half, led by Halfstar, would remain GladeClan. The Society stayed in LionClan camp, while GladeClan left to occupy the traditional camp.

The Society elected five leaders: Wind, Flare, Sun, Melody, and Phantom. They attempted to make Rosyfreckle their Shaman, but she fled to GladeClan after learning she was pregnant. Dahliawhisper also fled, having seen what became of Lynxshine's family.

They later found Wanheda and made her their Shaman.

At the subsequent Gathering, The Society attempted to make a plea with the other Clans to get them to join peacefully. Some cats joined The Society, but no Clans officially merged. All Clan leaders but Hawthornstar (who sent to warriors, Heronwings (Quill) and Thistlewhisper (Thorn), to monitor former ReedClan cats) openly denounced The Society.

Boarstar reached out to the other Clan leaders to form a pact of mutual defense. Lionstar and Halfstar endorsed the idea, however Hawthornstar seemed neutral.

Towards the end of May, The Society invaded DustClan under the charge of Flare. After a second wave of attacks, they were successful in taking the camp. Boarstar lost three lives, and only retreated when Bournwatcher delivered a message from StarClan that their ancestors were impartial to the result- a sentiment echoed by Venompelt who had appeared to Boarstar before GladeClan was split. Webwatcher died defending the nursery. Milkpaw, Willowchaser, and Scorchingeyes also perished.

During the attack, Archpaw, Fallenwalker, Cardinalgaze, Duneheart, and Cobraglare were all captured. The Society split into two camps, while DustClan took refuge in ReedClan. A few CavernClan cats were sent to help DustClan: Smokebloom, Tumbletuft, Scorchfur, Cricketwinds, and Curlingsmoke.

In response to these developments, GladeClan lowered the age of apprenticeship from six moons down to five moons.

Later in the same moon, The Society set up an ambush on a GladeClan patrol. Woollypelt, Ashcloud, Bristlehound, Sorrelchaser, and Mistyflower were attacked by a group of Society cats. Ashcloud was captured as leverage for negotiations with GladeClan. At the subsequent Gathering, The Society made demands. Sun was attacked by Curlingsmoke, which caused Sun to lose a life, and rain clouds covered the moon.

In early June, The Society gave Halfstar and ultimatum: Join us peacefully or we will kill Ashcloud and wage war. At the Gathering, the demands were reiterated by Sun and a meeting was arranged to occur after the Gathering. Halfstar ultimately refused, and The Society began to plan an attack.

Melody, along with Kestrelwing, Lichenberry, Dawnrise, Lionstar, Curlingsmoke, and Riverpaw, helped Ashcloud escape. Unbeknownst to her group, she had grown feelings for the tom. Ashcloud went on to warn GladeClan about the impending attack. The Clan evacuated to CavernClan.

The Society stormed the unoccupied GladeClan camp under Sun and Melody. Shortly thereafter, CavernClan and GladeClan forces joined together and attacked the camp. A battle ensued in which Raddish died and Lionstar lost a life. Lionstar ordered a retreat, although they left the two Society leaders unconscious.

Congruent to this, a flash flood occurred. While the battle was taking place the camp filled up with water, meaning neither side could claim the territory. This flash flood affected all areas of the map. CavernClan caverns were submerged and so they had to evacuate along with GladeClan. Tumbletuft and Wetlog both drowned during this evactuation.

In the DustClan camp, which was occupied by The Society, the den the hostages were in flooded and Wind and Flare ordered the guards to get to higher ground. This gave the hostages a chance to escape. Fallenwalker led Cobraglare, Cardinalgaze, and Archpaw to safety. Duneheart, however, drowned.

Soon after, ReedClan and DustClan decided to temporarily merge and evacuate to the beach. They formed the Clan called SeaClan. Lionstar introduced a similar plan to Halfstar, but she denied.

SeaClan eventually launched an attack onto the old DustClan camp, and reclaimed it. Tansypaw, Shell, and Boarstar died, while Sun and Hawthornstar both lost lives. SeaClan was successful, and thus the two Clans broke up.

Shortly thereafter, Hawthornstar told Wind and The Society that ReedClan and DustClan would attack again if they continued to occupy the GladeClan camp and the territory around it up until the twoleg path. Halfstar and GladeClan then returned to the camp.

The Society retreated into the the LionClan half of former GladeClan territory, and was driven out after a battle with the Clan. Flare led the remaining cats on a journey to find their new camp, and the group eventually settled in a ravine.
