Starclan Trials|| COMPLETE Warrior Cats AU MAP

Trial 1- Tracking: Bluefur has to hunt down the starclan cat hiding in the woods. She wakes up in a grassy clearing and finds a tall rock pillar decorated with images of stars and cats that appear to have been made by the claw marks of a cat. She climbs the pillar to get a better view and sees the starclan cat in the woods on the other side of the clearing. She runs into the woods and notices a bright light, but somethings not right. She hears and smells more signs of another cat in the opposite direction so she follows her gut and turns the other way. She finds the starclan cat and passes her first trial. Trial 2- defence: Bluefur has to lead a patrol through a dark eerie forest. Eyes watch them on all sides. Suddenly a patrol of ghost cats appear and Bluefur has to lead her patrol into battle. They successfully defeat the starclan cats and Bluefur passes her second trial. Trial 3- survival: Bluefur has to survive an unforgiving blizzard. She walks until she can’t feel her paws. Eventually coming across a cave. Shelter at last! She cautiously enters the cave and hears the sound of a kit mewling. She follows the sound through a tunnel in the cave and finds cold, shaking Mosskit. She curls around her before entering the next trial. Trial 4- fire: Bluefur wakes up in a forest completely ablaze. Two frightened cats stare at her expectantly and she knows she needs to do whatever she can to save them. She leads them through the woods giving them encouragements to keep going despite their burning lungs and aching legs. They’re almost out before suddenly Bluefur sees, oh no. Her sister, snowfur is trapped behind a wall of fire. She pauses trying desperately to think of a way to save her. But she realizes that’s not the mission. Snowfur is already dead she needs to let go and save these cats. She painfully turns away and continues running, leaving her sister behind, but successfully rescuing the two frightened cats. Trial 5- strength: at the end of the fourth trial Bluefur finds herself at the base of the tallest cliff she’s ever seen. She can see a bright light coming from the very top and knows that’s where she has to go. She begins climbing. It takes what feels like a quarter moon. Nearly slipping multiple times, she keeps her cool and continues the trek. Finally she arrives at the top of the mountain, greeted by all of her starry loved ones. She’s completed all of her trials and claimed the name Bluestar.

I wish it was canon that StarClan had trials to see who was worthy of being leader, it would’ve been a lot more interesting

IT TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY!!!! THE PART WHERE BLUEFUR LAYED WITH MOSSKIT BUT MOSSKIT TURNED INTO A STARCLAN CAT AND FADED AWAY BROUGHT ME TO TEARS IT WAS SO SAD THIS MAP TURNED OUT AMAZING AND WAS WORTH THE WAIT!<3

This is genuinely a very smart idea. Having trials for Bluestar to actually become leader is so creative and unique, I absolutely love this idea. Everyone did an amazing job on this, and it’s amazing to finally see this come together. Also the part with Mosskit was so sweet but sad :(

I absolutely love this MAP! The concept explains in a much better light than in the books the way cats should be able to receive their nine lives, because Starclan would know that being a leader comes with hardships, and each leader should be tested before experiencing those, and this AU would give the nine lives more of a reason to be in the books other than just the climax of a leader suddenly being : "Hey I am on my last life" out of a sudden! Great concept! Edit: I forgot to mention the fact that you choice for Bluestar being in this MAP other than Firestar or Brambleclaw id very toughtful, her life was full of hardships, and it would make sense that these trials made her stronger!

This is actually a really good idea because it would probably help prevent cats like brokenstar from ever becoming leaders. but also everything is very pretty the animators did so well!

Honestly Trials for leadership make everything so much more interesting! Especially when you think about how the original Tigerstar could have manipulated his!

THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING RAMKAT <3 <3 Thank you so much for having me in it!! I love the finished product so much <3

Ooo such an interesting concept! Now I kind-of imagine that Nightstar faked his symbol after failing the trials (perhaps Starclan even refused to give him any) to try and put ShadowClan's mind at ease

Gorgeous!I like the fact that this portraits how Bluefur(star), had to leave Snowfur, even tho it was painful, she continued her life as a warrior, this map shows that she moved on with the trial. awsome map!

This was so amazing.. I really like this concept, it would be better I think then how the actual books have it! It would make more sense for it to be a trial of some sort to test the leader before receiving their nine lives. This is beautiful too! Amazing job ❤❤

I love how this is about bluestar having to face endangerment to her clan she is about to lead and using many qualities of a true leader to solve it.

So many pretty MAPs have been coming out today!! What a lovely project this is, everyone did beautifully! I absolutely LOVE the concept of this too. Leaders having to EARN their lives through challenges is such a cool, intense idea!! Heck yea dude, I dig this! I remember following parts of it during its development, and was wondering when it would be complete!! What a joy it is to get to watch it now! This is SO good!! 💙

HOLY SHIT, ITS DONE??? I am so excited to see our work... It's been such a journey lol. I don't even animate anymore really.

Oh my StarClan I wish this was canon! The idea of having trials that each leader has to undergo before they can actually become leader is genius. Great job on this! I really hope you expand on it and do more leaders' StarClan trials :D

I really loved the AU of clan leaders having to face challenges performed by the cats of starclan who are giving the leader their nine lives. This was an amazing map posted with the Next Up Forever map with breathtaking anamations made by animators who have worked so hard on their part! This warriors map was worth the wait!

THIS MADE ME CRY SO BAD WARRIORS ALWAYS BEEN LIFE TO ME THE PART WHERE BLUESTAR LAYS WITH MOSSKITS AND HE TURNS INTO STARCLAN WAS SO GOOD

This MAP FEEELS like classic mid 2010’s Warriors MAPs. Absolutely in love, congrats to all participants and to the host!

This is such a cool concept! It would’ve been so cool to canonically see this in a leader’s perspective in a book! All the artist also did a really good job! They showed what was going really well

OMG, ITS DONE?? I remember first seeing the map call and going “dang, I can’t wait for this” AND NOW ITS HERE :D
