Hi y’all! The next gathering is scheduled to take place this coming weekend, October 20-22nd. About 50 cats should attend the gathering from each clan. Leaders, make sure that each member with an eligible character in your clan has at least one character attending and try to have the invited character lists posted as soon as possible. The clans will travel to Hawk’s Tree on Friday, the gathering will officially begin Saturday, and the clans should return to their camps by Sunday evening. However, the gathering can go past that point if necessary. The medicine cat meeting will take place the following weekend (October 27-29th), following the same pattern.

During the gathering, the clans will discuss the recent cougar attacks and EarthClan (or possibly MoonClan, as they have faced the brunt of the attacks)  will call for all of the clans to work together to run out the cougars during the next gathering. This initial attempt at unity will descend into bickering, but as the clans get up to leave with no agreement made, a lunar eclipse will begin. The clans will interpret this as a sign that StarClan wants them to work together in fighting off the cougar and the leaders will begin to plan a trap in which every fighting cat will band together regardless of clan affiliation against the cougars.  There isn't currently a plan for the Medicine Cat Meeting, so those of you with medicine cats can play it by ear.
