The Origins of The Clans
The Clans' origin is described in Secrets of the Clans. Originally, many small groups of wild cats live in the forest. Without a code of honour to follow or ancestors to provide guidance, they fight constantly for food and territory. One night at Fourtrees, a large battle occurs and many cats die. The spirits of the cats killed in battle return and tell the remaining cats to "unite or die". In this way, the Clans were formed from the previous multitude of small groups. The dead spirits become StarClan, and the code of honour that the cats follow is gradually created, as described in Code of the Clans.

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
