[ starclan camp ]

StarClan is made up of the spirit cats that have died from the four Clans of the Forest. StarClan cats live in their own forest in their after-life. They leave starry paw prints, and their pelts glow with a pale light, which makes them look like they have stars in their fur. StarClan is sometimes referred to as the "fifth Clan" of the forest. They watch over the Clans from the sky and sent prophesies to warn of impending danger. At every half-moon the medicine cats of each Clan go to their "sacred place" (Moonstone or Moonpool) to speak with StarClan and receive advice about the future. When a new leader is appointed, StarClan gives them their nine lives and replaces the latter half of their name with "star". The cats of StarClan have either earned their place in their former Clans many times over or died while too young or innocent. As such they have been granted supernatural powers that only very few cats (eg. Jayfeather) have in the corporeal world. These include but are not limited to telepathy and empathy (the ability to read minds and emotions),precognition (the ability to foresee the future) and astral/dream projection (the ability to put oneself in another plane i.e. the real world or the dream word).
