Hey guys! It’s time for us to get back to planning the direction we want the plot to head in.

Our last few wars have been relatively short and painless, it seems a bit overdue for a large, devastating war to happen again. For this to happen, we need to keep the main plot in mind while roleplaying at all times, while some aspects of clan life will remain unchanged, it is important to remember that they are, in fact, in a lot of danger at all times. This needs to be shown, leaders should be sending more border patrols, apprentices and mentors should be focusing on battle practice, the war and plans for it should be a very common topic of discussion between warriors and other cats. Basically, just push the plot a little darker and make the overall plot more present in the day to day lives of our characters.

Over the next few weeks there will be several large shifts in leadership to put leaders more likely to be stirring up a lot of trouble in charge. Quite a few of the current highranking cats will be dying, so we can use that as a way to get the clans even angrier at each other than they already are.

There are a few ideas I have for how we can start off from here, but feel free to suggest your own if you have a better idea. First off, MoonClan and SunClan can attack NightClan’s camp and defeat them together, cementing DawnClan’s alliance to NightClan. MoonClan can attack DawnClan for taking sides with NightClan when the kits were kidnapped. It’s petty, but MoonClan is the most likely to do something like that. A border skirmish could break out between NightClan and SunClan in which Ivorystar dies or loses a few lives, leading for NightClan to attack SunClan with DawnClan’s help.

Thoughts? Past whichever of these we choose, where do you think it should go past there?
