•Onestar- Due to the journey to the lake, the elderly Windclan leader Tallstar becomes very weak. Using his dying breaths, Tallstar tells Onewhisker and Firestar that Onewhisker will be the new leader of Windclan instead of the current deputy Mudclaw, before passing on. The two toms go out and tell the clan and Mudclaw is outraged. This creates deep amimousity and tears Windclan in half between those who believe Mudclaw should lead, and those who respect Tallstar’s choice. This comes to a head with a revolt lead by Mudclaw and his followers, (including a Riverclan warrior Hawkfrost who is also Tigerstar’s son). Before Mudclaw can win, lightning strikes a tree and squashes Mudclaw. This fallen tree now allows access to the island which serves as the Clans’ new gathering spot. After Mudclaw’s death, Onewhisker becomes Onestar and leads Windclan.
hardships When Tallstar dies,…
When Tallstar dies, he hands leadership over to Onewhisker. This tears WindClan in half, between those who believe current deputy Mudclaw should lead, and those who respect Tallstar’s wishes.
