Are you ready for the aftermath?

Stuck by a severe late leaf-fall rainstorm, the Clans were devastated by flooding and mudslides in certain areas for a few days. But an even worse situation arose with the next Half Moon. The Starcave was completely buried by a mudslide, the entrance blocked out by large boulders dislodged by the heavy rainfall.

With their vital connection to StarClan cut, the Clans are concerned. Are they supposed to stay?

Now, they're always on the look out for a new Starcave, anywhere to speak to StarClan. To make new leaders.
