Tales of these times vary from cat to cat, from clan to clan. Truth be told, it started with two cats. Talonpaw, a young apprentice from a clan far, far away, had been taken by Twolegs. Far from StarClan, Talonpaw met a young molly in the cages they were held in. Yew was a molly haunted by dreams from StarClan. She claimed that the cages were holding them in a boat, that would take them across the seas. Though she had to do a lot of explaining.

Talonpaw and Yew escaped on land, and had managed to elude the Twolegs. At a spur of a moment decision making, the pair got on a large rail driven monster, they called a Thundersnake on a silver path. When they had gotten off, they met a local cat by the name of Winsprey. Winsprey and their band of cats taught Yew and Talonpaw about the trains, and the world of travel it helped with. They shared their stories, and when they left, a couple of cats joined them on their journey. Toby and Tofu.

While not a clan at all, the four cats made their way north, following a star that called to Yew. With the help of Toby and Tofu, they took a train far north, where it stopped. Along the way, they met cats of all kinds, who joined them in their journey or stayed in their own life. Talonpaw began to take over the group, and suggested they become a clan as Yew's dreams requested.

While Yew protested, claiming there needed to be 5 clans, not just one clan, The cats agreed to being apart of just one clan. Talonpaw intended to be leader, but a sign proved that it was Yew who would be leader. With Talonpaw's prodding, Yew took on the name Yewstar. The clan had no name yet, nor a place to call home, but it still proved to be a safe space for many cats who joined them on their journey.

Yewstar led the clan further north, merely following her dreams and the place she had been shown. Talonpaw was chosen as her deputy as she named him Talonstrike. The clan had yet to be won over to StarClan, and despite Talonstrike's frustration, Yewstar viewed it as acceptable. No cat had to believe in anything specific.

Though the constant move drove cats to begin to break the safe space apart, as they believed they'd settle down soon. The Clan was in a struggle as they found their way to the valley they'd call home.

The clan split into two when they arrived. Yewstar called her clan YewClan, which had cats calling her selfish. Foxwatcher, a warrior Yewstar had named, decided to make her own clan. FirClan.

Foxwatcher kept her name, and held firm she didn't need nine lives. Something that later, taking on the suffix -watcher would be a tradition for leaders who refuse their nine lives in FirClan. FirClan and YewClan battled over land, undecided of where they'd lay their claims. The woods was plentiful in prey and sheltered them well from predators. However, YewClan was pushed from the woods to the tundras. YewClan was left open for predators to see them as they struggled to adapt to the terrain.

YewClan settled themselves by the far north, near the glaciers. Where their greenleaf camp would be in current times. They fought FirClan hard, fighting for land at the fringes of the forest and springs. In the end, the clans settled their territory. However they still fought at the borders, and the leaders formed a tentative alliance. However it was easily broken. A fight at the Wooded Springs was brought to the Star Gathered Cliffs where their war ended.

With peace, the two clans fell into a quiet era. For generations it seemed to be that way, with only minor hiccups like border skirmishes, or the occasional rogue. However, in some generations, YewClan began to have a larger problem. Rogues began to encroach on their territory, and began to push YewClan further north. A young deputy took the place of the leader, and called himself Ravenstar.

While clan cats today would call this leader a strong, respectable, and gracious leader, Ravenstar was far from kind. The tom was ruthless, cunning, and had made deals with the rogues. However such deals had backfired, and the clan was tossed into war with the rogues. At a request for help, FirClan helped YewClan chase the rogues off. Ravenstar was found responsible for many deaths of the rogues and several YewClan cats alike by FirClan. However there was never any consequences it seemed.

Though FirClan's relations with YewClan crumbled with this.

Mere seasons passed, before FirClan began to grow restless with YewClan. The clan was split on how to react to Ravenstar's brutality, and the Clan was growing uneasier with each season. The Clan began to redirect their attention at each other. With brewing anger, FirClan began to splinter.

The change wasn't immediate. It was only a generation before one cat finally stepped up. Valewhisker. Valewhisker stepped up, and began a peaceful split of FirClan. Wishing to make YewClan pay, OakClan became a full Clan. Led by Valewhisker, OakClan was ready at the cape for war.

Meanwhile, FirClan found peace with YewClan. OakClan disagreed and began to wage war with YewClan.  A mistake that would be seen down the line. Seasons and generations began to pass that the war would continue. OakClan and YewClan grew to not know when the war had started. Only a few elders could remember where it started.

In this time, YewClan had a cat become leader, who reflected the very same values of Ravenstar. While their name has been erased from the Clan's history and is told as tales of clan destruction, YewClan still holds shame for this very leader.

OakClan and YewClan warred, with their leader taking power, and picking them off one by one. YewClan had eventually ambushed and chased OakClan out of their own territory, and forced them into fights on YewClan's terms. OakClan had no choice but to disband, as YewClan's leader refused to let up.

The war between YewClan and OakClan ended while YewClan's leader was still in power. Though it did not save them from an early death. No cat particularly liked them. OakClan was devastated by the war, and thus, OakClan was no more. YewClan's deeds became known by FirClan, who had stayed out of war, and this alone set them up for war.
