“The Collective”
around 50 years past, a cat known as Sunheart Plumestorm (SunPlume) rose to power; he convinced the WaveWhirls to let him lead after he discovered the cure for a dangerous illness in town
he became a very popular cat, and some say it got to his head…
“The SunPlume Family”
SunPlume found a mate and had kittens, and after several generations, the family became Elites through his influence
the family gathers a circle of interest, which get their own circles of interest; soon enough, there’s a faulty structured hierarchy
WaveWhirl clowder becomes The Collective under the rule of leader Frost (the grandfather of Rep. Shiver)
“Our days of merriment and fantasy are behind us.” -Frost
Frost is a very cruel cat; he isn’t very sympathetic to his family either
Frost has a son— Squall (father of Shiver), who greatly takes after his own father
Frost dies, Squall takes over with a molly named Kelly
“Reign of Representative Shiver”
Shiver, son of Squall, becomes Collective leader at a rather young age; his father is murdered
Kelly steps down and leaves the town out of fear for her life
surrounded by paranoia, Shiver becomes commanding and militaristic
he meets a shipcat named Cinnamon; they fall in love
Cinnamon and Shiver have a kit— Dune
“Dune’s Rebellion”
Shiver is a strict father and even stricter leader; Cinnamon begins to fall out of love
Cinnamon provides relief to Dune where she can with her own parenting; Dune is reckless and bitter nonetheless
he joins a rebel group within the Collective, and together they plan to take down Shiver
Shiver survives and is protected by his inner circle; he banishes Dune from the town; the rebel group is shut down but their purpose goes unchanged
Shiver creates a personal Guard
Cinnamon turns on Shiver, slowly recruiting cats in town for her own rebellion
“Returning to the Wild”
a group of cats are selected from the Collective and beyond, sent dreams by the Oracle to meet her on a cold, late Winter night
she meets with each cat one by one, giving them a representative tarot card and a Clowder Title; the Oracle warns them of a great danger in their near futures
the new group is sent off beyond the town; they quickly find an abandoned beach and make their camp
the beach clowder get to know each other; their strengths, talents, weaknesses are all carefully realized over the next several moons
they slowly come up with their own structure and roles
