After the defeat of BloodClan the four Clans returned to their forest dwellings to enter a decade of peace and prosperity. Battles were far and few in-between, claws unsheathed and teeth bared under dire circumstances, adversaries typically hostile kittypets, rogues, and loners; a feud among the Clans incredibly rare.
