OFFICIAL PLOT - ALIGNMENT, PART ONE
In a time of uncertainty and silence from StarClan, something was stirring above the Clans in the dark. The stars began to disappear until only four shone bright enough to see, one after the other in a line beneath the cold moon, and even then, their last light was waning.
The four leaders, accompanied by their trusted medicine cats, met in secret to discuss these strange and harrowing changes. While few argued this was a sign from StarClan, a break in the seasons-old silent vigil the stars had kept. The others disagreed, claiming it to be a cemented fact that the Stars themselves were leaving the Clans behind, that they had given up hope on their descendants altogether.
