Ancient History
-12 moons: A plague sweeps the Clans. Many cats die. BreezeClan is hit hardest of all, losing fully half of their cats.
-10 moons: Lightning strikes GaleClan's territory, near the border it shares with BreezeClan. It burns a few trees, but once the flame hits BreezeClan's grassy territory, it quickly becomes a wildfire. The flame in GaleClan's territory burns out. It does not go deeper into GaleClan's territory, or cross the river into ThornClan's territory. All of BreezeClan's cats die except for a tiny kit and an older apprentice. They go to MireClan and ask to join, but only the kit is accepted. It is not told that it used to belong to BreezeClan. The apprentice returns to his territory, but is later chased off by a ThornClan patrol looking to expand their borders.
-9 moons: The remaining clans argue at a gathering over how to divide BreezeClan's territory. Later, GaleClan lays scent markers. The markers overlap with ThornClan's. A battle starts, and cats die, including the ThornClan deputy.
-8 moons: MireClan invades the territories of both GaleClan and ThornClan, saying that if they divide BreezeClan's old territory between them, they must surely have some extra to spare. An all-out war begins.
-5 moons: GaleClan leader loses his last life in battle against MireClan.
0 moons: War still going.

Year One
Moon 1: A terrible battle between GaleClan and ThornClan causes deaths on both sides and most notably the death of ThornClan's leader. However, after the battle, an uneasy truce is formed and a new border -- dividing BreezeClan's old territory between GaleClan and ThornClan, nearly equally -- is marked. The gathering, however, goes well, aside from the one exception consisting of GaleClan's leader being too ill to come. Meanwhile one of MireClan's cats leaves in search of her only remaining kin -- Iceclaw, her cousin, now a rogue but used to be BreezeClan... like her.
Moon 2: GaleClan's leader dies, and before the deputy has gained her nine lives, MireClan attacks GaleClan and manages to win the battle, gaining a large slice of territory and killing the deputy in the process. GaleClan is left leaderless, but a new leader is chosen by StarClan. Strangely, a group of rogues come to occupy BreezeClan territory, and it is only after sending messengers to them that the other three clans realize that the rogues are re-founding BreezeClan, led by Iceclaw and his previously-MireClan cousin, Ravenpaw. Tired of war, the three clans agree to let BreezeClan re-occupy their old territory, and the gathering goes very well. Everything is peaceful.
Moon 3: MireClan have received an omuinous prophecy from StarClan predicting terrible danger, and follow StarClan's instructions, finding a lost puppy on their territory and taking it back to their camp to raise and train as their "secret weapon", meant to save them from destruction. Meanwhile, the newly formed BreezeClan are arguing among themselves. Their organization, discipline, and loyalty to the warrior code are in shambles, and their leader (Ravenpaw) is having trouble holding the clan together.
