Read this because... FoF's clan histories are interesting XD? This is fantastically useful to use for your cat's histories 
Elapsed time: 32 moons
Pre-clans
For a full synopsis of events that led to Meadowclan splitting in two, during the reign of Brownstar, check out this thread:
Main Plot
0 moons
The journey begins
Led by Cedarclaw, half of the cats from Forestclan finally broke away from the harsh claws of Brownstar. They began a journey that lasted many moons, many suffering in the process.
0 moons - 10 moons
The journey
A journey filled with suffering began, bringing death and pain to many cats. Disease was rife, starvation common, and many cats were picked off by predators as they travelled through unfamiliar territory. Some doubted they would ever find a place to settle. Despite the conditions, their lives continued, so apprentice training and birthing still took place in the difficult conditions. Of course, soon doing things on the move became the norm, so it became less difficult as time went on. During this time, they picked up a few cats intrigued by the idea of a warrior life, from rogues and loners to kittypets. So, despite the deaths they remained numerous.
10 moons
The territory is found and the journey ends
After 10 moons of travelling, the current territory was found. After some days of rest and scouting, Cedarclaw, the cat who naturally took the leadership role, commanded that they should all span out and spread the words of the new clan to any cat they met. The travellers spoke to many cats in the area and found that the vast majority of them wished to join them in this new way of life.
It was then that Cedarclaw realised that there were too many cats to control adequately in just one clan and it was decided between all cats that they should split into four. It was asked that any cats willing to take the role of leader step forward and auditions began. Many cats spoke out but three definite candidates were easily picked out. There was Cloudfang, the fair and faithful, who took up the helm of the water-loving streamclanners and Owlstorm, the determined and intelligent she-cat, who formed the strong believing Fogclan. Cedarclaw himself took on Meadowclan, a clan made up of most of the former Forestclan cats.
Lastly, a very spirited and dependant she-cat, Gingerclaw, came forward, speaking of her wish to create a clan based on loyalty rather than Starclan belief. Her idea met controversy within the former Forestclan cats, and she was distrusted greatly. However, with her few followers she managed to form a clan, unlike any other, which to every cat's surprise did not collapse as they had predicted. The clan flourished, gaining more members after it's initial formation. However, they did not gain the support of all the cats in other clans, as many hated the idea of living beside sinful non-believers.
With this decided, the 3 leaders of the believing clan went to Moonglade, a place Starclan had allocated as the sacred ground where they should have all ceremonies in a dream to Cedarstar, to collect their nine lives. They all took the suffix -star, despite Gingerstar not having attended the ceremony.
Early clan history
11 moons
The clans settle
The four clans seperated themselves and set up boarders, taking their clan names from the areas in which they settled. Pineclan occupied the forested area, Streamclan moved into an area with lots of streams, Meadowclan took the land filled with fields and Fogclan settled into the area thick with Oak trees and fog.
16 moons
Roleplaying began!
18 moons
Clan life truely begins
The first kits born on the new territory came into existance within days of eachother into Meadowclan by Dappleflower and Pineclan by Swallowpelt.
24 Moons
Owlstar has been ousted! Mistpelt took over Fogclan
After rallying support for the last few moons, the extreme believers of the clan went against Owlstar and publically declared her 'unfit for leadership' due to her lax rules about believing. The clan split in two, some of Owlstars followers following her off into exile. Mistpelt became Miststar and her extreme reign began.
32 moons
Current time
So, what age must my cat be to have been born in the current clans?
Since the cats were settling for a notable amount of time, there weren't any kits until many moons into the clan's development. Therefore, any clanborn cats must be:
Under 12 moons
