OFFICIAL SHADOWWHISPERS GUIDE

The Dawn of the ShadowWhispers: One night, a pair of cats were walking through the forest. A jet black she-cat and her gray mate. They had been walking for moons, searching for a place to stay. Eventually, they came across a group of cats who called themselves a clan. The cats lectured them about how they were on clan territory. Then, without warning, they attacked. They fought for hours. Sometime during the fight, the black she-cat, Whisper was her name, hear a painfully familiar shriek. She ran to the source of the noise and saw one of the clan cats standing over her mate, Shadow, it's jaw dripping with blood. Shadow was dead. Blinded with pain and hatred, Whisper killed every one of the 7 cats. Then she lifted Shadow's body and ran as fast and as far as she could. When she finally stopped, she was at a stream. She buried Shadow next to the stream and marked his grave with a black and gray stone, the black representing Whisper and the gray representing Shadow. She stayed there all night. In the morning, she vowed to Shadow's spirit that she would kill every clan cat who crossed her path. She decided to gather other cats who hated the clans as much as her. Together, they formed an anti-clan. Th cats nominated Whisper as leader, and she named the group The ShadowWhispers. They stayed near Shadow's grave forever.[
The Rule of Dart: The healer, Chrysanthemum, received a prophecy: "Evil lurks at the peak, waiting until the time to seek. It craves a battle at the ground, the secret cats must not be found." When Dart and his cats finally did come down, there was a great battle. Whisper eventually stepped down so that no more of her cats died. She devised a secret plan with a few of the originally members of the ShadowWhispers and Chrysanthemum went to the Platinum Brigade, who were one of the ShadowWhisper's allies. She asked for help but, when help didn't get there fast enough, the ShadowWhispers drove Dart and his cats out by themselves. During this battle, Vortex, the general, was killed, and after the battle, Silence, formerly the substitute general, took his place.

The ShadowWhispers live at the bottom of a mountain. Their territory is part forest, part moor, part river, and part mountain. Towards the top of the small mountain is what is called Death's Peak. Many executions are performed here. About halfway down the mountain is the best spot to collect herbs. At the bottom of the mountain is the camp. Shadow's Creek marks the entrance to the camp. A deathberry bush covers the entrance. Behind the bush is a long, twisting tunnel leading about 20 tail lengths down to the heart of the camp. Inside, the Shade Oak is where the royal stands for summonings. At the base of the tree is a large hole, which is the royal's den. On either side of the tree, the roots are lifted from the ground creating the general/ substitute general's den and the multi's den. In the far corner of camp is a small cave which makes up the flower/petal den. Scattered around the camp are nearly identical dens for every other rank. These dens are branches stacked with vines and leaves draped over them. The servant's den is a hole in the ground directly next to the entrance to camp, and the rebel's den is another hole which is draped with thorny vines.
