Official Spoiler page for The Elders’ Quest
[alt text: a brown tabby cat with a forest with two more cats behind it]A place to discuss Book #1 of Changing Skies.
Blurb:
The launch of a brand-new arc in Erin Hunter’s #1 bestselling Warriors series find the Clans navigating an ominous prophecy that foreshadows the destruction of the Moonpool, and the end of the Cats’ connection to StarClan.
As Leafbare approaches, a new danger threatens the Clans. Twoleg construction has encroached on Clan territory, poisoning the stream and making prey especially scarce for SkyClan. Meanwhile, their leader, Leafstar is struggling with a loss of vision while trying maintain authority over a Clan that increasingly doubts her ability to lead.
In ShadowClan, Tawnypelt senses peril as the Twoleg construction threatens the Moonpool, but she can’t get anycat, especially her son, Tigerstar, to listen. Frustrated with the younger cats who don’t respect her, she decides to take matters into her own paws.
In the midst of the chaos, Moonpaw, an apprentice struggling to understand the mysterious voice in her head, thinks that she might be having visions. But the voice becomes increasingly sinister, and Moonpaw wonders if’s a sign of darkness on the horizon.
Is it just me who was legitimately disappointed to find out who Moonpaw’s parents are? ( 😛 ) As someone who loves Night x Bay to a somewhat scary extent, I was very upset to see that not only did he get a mate but a mate that he’s had close to no screen time with 😛 😛
(However I’m absolutely psyched to see her design, I love it sooo much aaaaa)
EDIT: great barney is this a flip of the page my eyeballs see
you’re not the only one, i’m disappointed too :p
AYY WE CAN BE SAD TOGETHER NOW /lh
Agreed – especially the fact that Thrift and Bay are so closely related
Ikr!! Aren’t they first cousins? 😛 /genq
Yeah. It’s too random.
Also Nightheart and Sunbeam are like the only couple in the series who aren’t related. Come to think of it, maybe they are and I just haven’t found out how yet.
But eventually, everybody will be mates with somebody they’re related to right.

Srly! They are the only couple that comes to mind. I think the writers need to kill off some characters just so that not every one is dating a relative of some kind while I stay up all night watching Moonkitti videos.
The first few chapters just came out on the website! Who do you think the small orange tabby cat is?
I think she’s the spirit of some cat that somehow got trapped in Moonpaw. Most likely a relative. I’m unsure though if the cats of direct relation to her such as a sister, a brother, or more distantly linked, such as an ancestor.
M original thought was some Dark Forest spirit but the orange cat isn’t giving me ‘evil’ vibes thus far. We’ll have to see how it shapes up I suppose.
I think it’s the same cat that was talking to Splashtail
isn’t that curlfeather, though? :3
I think it’s almost definitely Moonpaw’s sort-of littermate.
For those of you who don’t know, chimera cats get their unique faces because while they’re still in the womb and not yet fully developed cats, two embryos combine together, thus resulting in their unique faces. However, as far as I’m aware, this doesn’t mean one of the kits died in the womb, rather they just become one. My guess is the Erins read about chimera cats and completely ignored the fact that no, one of those embryos doesn’t die, and so they decided to make it a sort of ghost or perhaps another side of Moonpaw’s mind that’ll grow alongside her?? although take all of this with a grain of salt, as I know very little about genetics, cat or human 😛
it’s Moonpaw’s twin because chimaera cats absorb the other one so it’s her twin talking to her in her head
There’re some chapters of The Elder’s Quest, and I read the allegiances. There are some cats on there that I didn’t expect to be queens.
Agreed! It jumped way after the end of Star, further than I expected (Like 6 moons :P) For example, Leafkit, the kit who Sunbeam rescued in Wind, is already a full warrior named Leafcurl.
Although I found a few mistakes in the Allegiances to. Leafcurl who I already mentioned is called a she-kit, Beechkit is misspelled as Beehckit, and the Erins can’t seem to decide whether to call kits she-kits and tom-kits or just toms and she-cats 😛
But I’m assured that most if not all these mistakes will be fixed in the final edition! I’m looking forward to Changing Skies no matter how it will end up 😀
omg that’s so real. like floatshimmer, she’s probably at max 12 moons old and she’s a queen already :p
I am so excited for it! I think that the cat in Moonpaw’s mind is her 2nd half. Chimeras conjoin as embryos and actually have two sets of DNA. :3 So cool! I read the excerpt and I enjoyed seeing things from Tawnypelt’s and Leafstar’s view.
I think the voice is mapleshade because she did not dye in arc 4, and this is basically what she said to crookedstar. Also she could be trying to get revenge on ivypool for betraying he like she did with appledusk (killing off his descendants).
That wouldn’t make sense though. Despite some inconsistencies, Mapleshade is confirmed to be a ragged tortoiseshell and white she-cat with amber eyes. The voice in Moonpaw’s head is a small pale ginger tabby with green eyes.
Hi mods! Since Star has released already, this should be a spoiler page right?
Yep! Changed it.
I hope WarriorClan returns, I think they are cute fanclub for Clans, and maybe Sol (or Sleekwhisker, other SkyClan who kidnapped by twolegs) would be joined WarriorClan for revange to Clans tha he promised long ago:) I really loved him as villian. And maybe he deserves good ending for him? After all, at first Sol only purely wanted to join SkyClan and become warrior to make his momma Cinders but it didn’t work so well for him.
I don’t I hat Warriorclan sorry 🙁
Just thinking. But I gussing about lake clans about to move AGAIN from lake to somewhere just like New phorpcey, and during in this series, just maybe… SkyClan can make reunite with missing their clanmates? (Curlypaw, Birdwing, Clovertail, Waspwhisker, Harveymoon, Parsleyseed, Ebonyclaw) I know part of them left behind willingly but… isn’t to harsh for Sagenose and Fellowfern to lost their familes forever? And as for Sagenose. He only has his son in HIS clan.
