Moon 1

Brownpelt brought a single kit back to the clan but refuses to talk about their origin. Brownpelt thinks he’s going crazy as Copperkit snuggles up to his belly. It's eyes are a bright copper like his own.

Moon 0 - Patrols

Wingpelt and his visitor

Airpelt and Bugpaws training

Graystrar, Wildfade and Bluebellstripe return from a hunting patrol with a small amount of pray and a sense of security.

1 - Wingpelt

As Wingpelt pads through DuskClan territory, they feel a presence join them. The scent of a familiar pelt reaches Wingpelts nose, he knows this cat! As he turns to greet them a purr rumbles in his chest and with their help he gathers elder leaves and blackberries.

2 - Airpelt and Bugpaw

While the patrol is intended for training the two cats find themselves a nice spot to sunbathe and Airpelt invites Bugpaw to sit with her. Bugpaw is stiff around his new mentor but his confidence spurs him on. This is Airpelts intention, for BugPaw to be able to be comfortable with her and learn to respect her. Proper connections are just as important as hunting and fighting, and if he cannot get along with her then he will have difficulty learning to live along side the rest of Duskclan.

3 - Graystar, Wildfade and Bluebell stripe

The three cats task themselves on hunting, being the last patrol to head out it is later in the day and the sky has turned gray. Soon after their departure snow starts to fall and they worry about bringing back fresh kill. Despite the snow they manage to bring back a small amount of prey, and as Graystar leads them home theirs a sense of security and competence driving them onwards.

The Birth of Graystar

writing below

The Birth of GrayStar

As Graypelt lays on a bedding of leaves and grass the other cats worry for her recovery. Wingpelt has assured them she will make it through the night, but newleaf nights still have a chill that cuts through even the thickest fur. Bluebellstripe reasures Wildfade that she’ll be fine and that they can rest nearby to keep an eye on her. As day falls into dusk and the dark night approaches the moonlight begins to seep through the opening at the top of the cave. Despite being small and obscured with tree roots the light comes through strong and bright, lighting up Graypelts damp fur.

Airpelt lingers near the entrance, making sure she is not seen. As she observes the cats she can see the sleeping Bugpaw near Wingpelt and Wildfade and Bluebellstripe discussing on the other side of the cave. The moonlight sparkles in a strange way as she creeps closer to the tree roots.

The light of the stars shines brightly in the light and resemble the night sky. Slowly, a cat made seemingly made of starlight glides down from the light and rests next to Graypelt, as they do Graypelts fur lights up and a blue glow flows through them. “Take care, GrayStar. May a gift from StarClan allow for DuskClan to flourish under your guidance” echos from the Starclan cat.

As quickly as they came, the cat faded away and the moonlight returned to normal. Graypelt, now Graystar still kept a faint glow under the moonlight and her fur had retained the blue markings. She rose from her bedding, now dry and looking healthier than before. Her eyes opened and she looked at the cats around her and nodded at the two groups, pulling her bedding with her further into the cave and nearer Wildfade as they all retired for the night.

Welcome to DuskClan

A small group founded by loners. They reside in a cavern at the bottom of the hillside and a lone hole in the roof lights up their home with the light of the moon.

May StarClan guide these cats as they come together not just as loners, but as a clan.

The Founding Cats of DuskClan

DuskClan is a clan of loners brought together by circumstance.

Bellow is a list of the six founders and how they came to be in this moonlit cavern.

-GrayStar (previously Graypelt)

[93 moons, female, leader, remaining lives:9, vengeful, denbuilder, keen eye, competent]

A friendly loner who frequently visited human homes for food and was known to a few clan members nearby. Her blue fur comes from her meeting with StarClans cat, Oatpaw.

-Wildfade

[110 moons, female, deputy, charismatic, fast as the wind, good swimmer]

A charming older siamese cat, a loner known for sunbathing near the lake and catching fish. She met Graystar when she saved her from drowning in the lake and decided to join DuskClan after witnessing GrayStar receiving her 9 lives.

-Wingpelt

[70 moons, male, medicine cat, charismatic, good storyteller, omen seeker]

A medicine cat that became a loner after being wrongfully exiled from his old clan, shortly after the clan fell ill and due to refusing Wingpelts help they perished from the disease. For 25 moons since he has resided in an hollow oak trunk and provided help to other loners, occasionally still receiving messages from Starclan about visitors or those in need. A message from Starclan about Graystar is what brought him into the clan.

-Bluebellstripe

[66 moons, nonbinary, warrior, thoughtful, good hunter, heavy lifter]

A loner who stumbled upon the commotion when Graystar was pulled from the water and helped pull them both to safety. Helped carry her to the cavern where the clan now resides, being a large and much stronger cat suited to carrying the weight of another cat. Joined Dusk Clan after witnessing GrayStar receive her 9 lives.

-Airpelt

[65 moons, female, warrior, cold, good fighter, apprentice: BugPaw]

A shrewd loner who hunts and fights with other loners. She was helped before by Wingpelt and went to search for him when he wasn’t in his home. Following his trail she found the DuskClan cavern and waited till ngihtfall to approach, during this she witnessed Graystar receiving her 9 lives. As a non-beleiver in StarClan she was suspiscious and spoke to Wingpelt. After he said he’d be staying she decided to stay, if atleast to make sure nothing happened to him and the child in the clan.

-Bugpaw

[7 moons, male, apprentice, bloodthirsty, lover of stories, confident with words, mentor: Airpelt]

A young cat, a survivor of Wingpelts old clan although he does not know Wingpelts history. Fled from the clan after watching his clanmates slowly die and knowing that he would not be helped if he was ill, only starved and isolated in the quarantine hut. After running far in the rain his symptoms caught up to him and he collapsed in the forest. Wingpelt found him thanks to a dream from Starclan and nursed him back to health. He hung around Wingpelts home and followed him when he ran off to find Graystar, joining the clan along side him but deciding to apprentice as a warrior under Airpelt as she was a friend of Wingpelt.

-Brownpelt

[154 moons, male, elder, loyal, good hunter]

An ex-kittypet and well known loner in the area. Joined the clan after Graystar received her 9 lives due to his familiarity with her and loyalty to her.
