Who becomes an elder:
Most often, it's an elderly warrior, herald, queen, or medicine cat who, due to age, can no longer fulfill their responsibilities. However, sometimes, a cat becomes an elder due to severe injuries or disabilities that prevent them from hunting, patrolling, or performing other tribal duties (like Longtail).
Responsibilities and Role:
The main task is to preserve knowledge: telling stories to kittens, passing on legends, myths, and the tribe's history from generation to generation. Another important responsibility is burying deceased tribesmen.
Behavior and restrictions:
Elders typically don't leave camp without a warrior's escort. They aren't assigned to hunt or patrol. However, they are treated with great respect.
Priority in the camp:
One of the key rules (it is part of the Warrior Code) states that elders (along with kits) must be fed before warriors and squires.
Name:
Elders often retain their warrior name. But sometimes they are renamed—for example, if a "naming feature" was lost in battle (a tail was bitten off, a paw was torn off), and the new name better reflects reality. This is not considered offensive: after all, the cat will be recognized by his name in StarClan.

When a warrior is expecting or raising kits, she becomes queen and moves into the nursery. During this time, she temporarily abandons her warrior duties.

Key point: a queen does not retain her rank or status after her kits have completed their apprenticeship and become apprentices (usually at 6 moons). Most queens return to their previous duties by this point.

At the same time, the queen can remain in the nursery to help other queens with kittens or feed orphans.

ThunderClan. The main Clan in the main series, to which most of the key characters belong. In times of peace, the cats of this Clan are respectful of others, but in battle they become courageous and loyal. They often accept single cats or domestic cats—sometimes to swell their ranks, sometimes simply to help someone in need. Because of this, other Clans sometimes consider them weak. They hunt forest game: mice, squirrels, and sometimes birds. The territory is known to humans as the White Deer Forest. Founder: Thunderstar. RiverClan. *Lives near water—in the swampy parts of the forest, on the banks of lakes and rivers. Cats of this Clan are excellent swimmers and fishermen. Their diet consists mainly of fish, but they are also willing to eat water rats and shrews. Another characteristic: they love all things beautiful and often decorate their dens with stones, shells, and feathers. Because of their shiny fur, which is convenient for swimming, they are sometimes mistaken for domestic cats.

• ShadowClan (DuskClan). *Lives in the swampy part of the pine forest. Cats of this Clan are often considered "gloomy" and fierce. They are masters of silent movement in the undergrowth and the best night hunters. Their main prey are reptiles and amphibians (lizards, frogs), and they also have a secret food source - Twoleg dumps (however, they are careful and do not eat crow food). Other Clans often perceive them as pugnacious and ambitious.

• WindClan. *Lives in open, windswept territory. Cats of this Clan are accustomed to life in conditions where there is no dense thicket, and value space.

• A few general points:
  Each tribe has a leader who governs it and is responsible for it.
  Cats live by strict rules - the Warrior Code.
  After death, the warrior ancestors (StarClan) watch over the living, and those who have broken the law end up in the Dark Forest (Place-Without-Stars).

Sandstorm is a sleek, fawn she-cat with green eyes. She is a loyal warrior of ThunderClan.

You were a pet. One autumn day, you were sitting on the fence, gazing into the dark, alluring forest. Constantly dreaming of a walk there, you finally couldn't stand it any longer, jumped off the fence, and disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

As you walked through the gloomy forest, a deathly silence reigned all around, broken only by the rustling of leaves caused by the wind. This sound created an ominous atmosphere. It was dark, and moonlight filtered through the dense treetops, dimly illuminating the path. The further you went into the forest, the more dread grew.

And suddenly...

A cat suddenly attacked you, pinning you to the ground. The darkness made it impossible to see its face or coloring, even though the moonlight was faint. It was as if a black shadow had appeared before you.

Who are you?!
The cat growled, baring her sharp teeth. Her eyes flashed a bright green light.
