The tensions between PineClan and Fogclan have always been high, as a direct result from their differing beliefs. They reached a fever pitch when PineClanner Rainpaw, and Fogclanner Firestorm started a fight at the gathering. It was quelled, but everycat knows that fighting during a truce is only a short step away from war, especially when it comes to these two rival clans.
50 Moons
Unrest is beginning to surface in MeadowClan...
The loner- and rogue-born warriors of MeadowClan are beginning to grow suspicious of the trend in MeadowClan's high ranking cats: they're all forestclan-born. Is Cedarstar biased against those without a heritage steeped in clanlife? Perhaps it is time for a shake-up in the ranks...

Miststar disappears! Volepelt rises to power.
After several moons of tyrannical leadership, Miststar's reign ended suddenly and mysteriously. One day she was there, the next she disappeared from her den, without a word. Volepelt swears that she's gone on a Starclan given mission, and that one day she will return, and grudgingly takes over leadership of Fogclan. Believing his beloved leader would return, he does not go to claim his lives, and remains 'deputy', waiting for the one he loved to come back to him.

Cloudstar steps down as StreamClan leader!
After receiving crippling injuries from a fight with an escaped dog, Cloudstar has been forced to retire to the elder's den and Jaegerstar took over the leadership role. It seems that not even StarClan-given lives can take back the damage done by the dog's crushing jaws.
65 moons
Tensions rise between Pine and Streamclan
After stealing prey, Streamclan starts off a rivalry with Pineclan that is sure to effect the alliances in the forest for many moons.
74 Moons
Fogclan announces war on Pineclan
Volepelt, driven by paranoia, commands that Fogclan will now be at war with Fogclan. Not all cats are happy with this decision, especially since no council members were consulted...

Current time
So, what age must my cat be to have been born in the current clans?
Since the cats were settling for a notable amount of time, there weren't any kits until many moons into the clan's development. Therefore, any clanborn cats must be:
Under 40 moons

For a full synopsis of events that led to Meadowclan splitting in two, during the reign of Brownstar, check out this thread:
Main Plot
0 moons
The journey begins
Led by Cedarclaw, half of the cats from Forestclan finally broke away from the harsh claws of Brownstar. They began a journey that lasted many moons, many suffering in the process.
0 moons - 10 moons
The journey
A journey filled with suffering began, bringing death and pain to many cats. Disease was rife, starvation common, and many cats were picked off by predators as they traveled through unfamiliar territory. Some doubted they would ever find a place to settle. Despite the conditions, their lives continued, so apprentice training and birthing still took place in the difficult conditions. Of course, soon doing things on the move became the norm, so it became less difficult as time went on. During this time, they picked up a few cats intrigued by the idea of a warrior life, from rogues and loners to kittypets. So, despite the deaths they remained numerous.
10 moons
The territory is found and the journey ends
After 10 moons of traveling, the current territory was found. After some days of rest and scouting, Cedarclaw, the cat who naturally took the leadership role, commanded that they should all span out and spread the words of the new clan to any cat they met. The travelers spoke to many cats in the area and found that the vast majority of them wished to join them in this new way of life.
It was then that Cedarclaw realized that there were too many cats to control adequately in just one clan and it was decided between all cats that they should split into four. It was asked that any cats willing to take the role of leader step forward and auditions began. Many cats spoke out but three definite candidates were easily picked out. There was Cloudfang, the fair and faithful, who took up the helm of the water-loving streamclanners and Owlstorm, the determined and intelligent she-cat, who formed the strong believing FogClan. Cedarclaw himself took on MeadowClan, a clan made up of most of the former ForestClan cats.
Lastly, a very spirited and independent she-cat, Gingerclaw, came forward, speaking of her wish to create a clan based on loyalty rather than StarClan belief. Her idea met controversy within the former ForestClan cats, and she was distrusted greatly. However, with her few followers she managed to form a clan, unlike any other, which to every cat's surprise did not collapse as they had predicted. The clan flourished, gaining more members after it's initial formation. However, they did not gain the support of all the cats in other clans, as many hated the idea of living beside sinful non-believers.
With this decided, the 3 leaders of the believing clan went to Moonglade, a place StarClan had allocated as the sacred ground where they should have all ceremonies in a dream to Cedarstar, to collect their nine lives. They all took the suffix -star, despite Gingerstar not having attended the ceremony.
Early clan history
11 moons
The clans settle
The four clans separated themselves and set up boarders, taking their clan names from the areas in which they settled. PineClan occupied the forested area, StreamClan moved into an area with lots of streams, MeadowClan took the land filled with fields and Fogclan settled into the area thick with Oak trees and fog.
16 moons
Roleplaying began!
18 moons
Clan life truly begins
The first kits born on the new territory came into existence within days of each other into Meadowclan by Dappledflower and Pineclan by Swallowpelt.
24 Moons
Owlstar has been ousted! Mistpelt took over Fogclan
After rallying support for the last few moons, the extreme believers of the clan went against Owlstar and publicly declared her 'unfit for leadership' due to her lax rules about believing. The clan split in two, some of Owlstars followers following her off into exile. Mistpelt became Miststar and her extreme reign began.
28 Moons
Miststar introduces physical punishments to FogClan
Frustrated with the continued presence of sinners in what is supposed to be the purest clan of all, Miststar has enacted a policy of physical punishments. Sinners must now submit to beatings which are given by their mentors, fellow warriors, council members, and even Miststar herself.
33 Moons
Famine rears its ugly head in StreamClan
With the river frozen over for leafbare leaving the fish inaccessible, and precious little else to be found on land, StreamClan is facing the threat of StarClan. They hope for an early newleaf, but that might not bring the relief they need. After all, newleaf means the twolegs come...and they might not be able to afford the possibility of the twolegs scaring away what little prey is left.
45 Moons
Fight at the Gathering!
