Which became the base for the forest the cats live inThe series first began when publisher asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats.
Initially, Holmes was not very enthusiastic, since she 'couldn't imagine coming up with enough ideas'. She worked with the concept, however, expanding the storyline with elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict.
Although the original plan was a stand-alone novel, enough material was created for several books, and the publisher decided on a six-volume series. The first volume, Into the Wild, was written by Kate Cary under the pseudonym 'Erin Hunter' and was completed in about three months. Holmes then began to work behind the scenes, editing and supervising details. Joined the team to write the third book, Forest of Secrets. Later, after she wrote the first Warriors field guide, Tui Sutherland became the fourth Erin Hunter., there were also some rumors that said 'Warriors' where also based of off a children's book from the 60s called: 'Forest Dogs' that had almost the same plot origins.The authors have named several other authors as sources of inspiration when writing the novels. In an online author chat, listed the authors that inspire her as including,. In the same chat, stated that, and are some of the authors that inspire her.
According to the official website, other authors who have inspired the writers include, Lisa Gardiner,. The authors have also mentioned several other sources of inspiration.

Other influential locations include, as well as the., a physician who used materials occurring in the natural world as medicine, also had an influence on the Warriors series.

In addition, the authors suggested that they may use some fan-created names in future books. Also mentioned as a source of inspiration was the film series.
See also:In the Warriors universe, a large group of cats has settled into a forest and claimed it for their own. The cats are split into four smaller Clans: ThunderClan lives in woodland areas, WindClan resides on the, RiverClan by the river, and ShadowClan within and around the swamps hidden in the shadows. SkyClan, a fifth group, also used to be a part of this system but was forced to flee when their territory was destroyed to make human houses. The other Clans refused to share their territory, thus leading to SkyClan being driven out of their home. The other Clans were ashamed of this and tried to erase all memory of SkyClan. Each Clan has adapted to their own terrain; RiverClan, for example, will swim in the river to catch fish, while the majority of cats from the other Clans fear and avoid bodies of water.Relationships between different Clans are tense and they often come into conflict with one another. Each clan is taught signature battle moves in order to protect their territory.
Border skirmishes are the most common source of battle; they are often short-lived and cause no real damage to either side. Bigger and more brutal battles can occur, which can result in casualties.
The Clans can also show concern for each other; the idea of one Clan being destroyed causes deep distress and will prompt urgent action on behalf of all four Clans. On the night of every full moon, the Clans will meet at a designated spot in order to share stories and news in peace.
This is known as a 'Gathering', and fighting is prohibited.Cats who live outside of the Clans are split into three groups., known as 'kittypets', are often sneered at by the Clan cats for their cozy and lazy life, and if they wander into the forest are chased away, but will rarely come to harm. 'Loners' are cats who walk outside of the Clans, usually by themselves. Although regarded by the Clans with suspicion, they do not cause the forest cats any trouble, and so are free to wander outside of the borders in peace. Similar to loners are 'rogues', who differ only because they try to cause Clans harm. It is not unusual for a rogue to be a former Clan cat looking for revenge. For a kittypet, loner, or rogue to join a Clan is rare, but not unheard of.
Often, these newcomers have to prove themselves in order to be regarded with trust by the rest of the community.Beyond the Clans' territories lies a mountain range, inhabited by the Tribe of Rushing Water, which follows a different set of ancestors: the Tribe of Endless Hunting. The Tribe has a Healer, cave-guards, and prey-hunters, who each serve a different function in the Tribe. The leads the Tribe, heals the ill and wounded, and communicates with the Tribe of Endless Hunting; the cave-guards defend the Tribe and the prey-hunters hunt. The Tribe was formed by the Ancients when they left the to live in the mountains. In turn, cats from the Tribe moved to the forest of the original series and formed the Clans.StarClan is a group of the Clans' deceased ancestors who give guidance to the Clans. After death, most Clan cats join StarClan. It is represented by Silverpelt, and each individual star represents the spirit of a single dead warrior.
Upon joining StarClan, the cats' spirits take the form in which they were most happy while living (i.e. Blindness and deafness can be cured). StarClan Warriors, elders, deputies, queens, and kits keep watch over the Clans, usually watching the Clan they lived in while alive. They provide guidance to the Clans, often through dreams and other signs like. Often, this occurs when medicine cats go to the Moonstone, a large piece of in an abandoned mine, which is used in the forest territory to communicate with the medicine and leader cats' ancestors every half-moon. StarClan cats are often described as being transparent and silver in color, with stars sparkling around their pelts.In addition to StarClan, there exists the Dark Forest, also known as The Place of No Stars. The spirits of traitors who caused great pain and suffering to others walk alone there, forever, to pay for their sins.
As the name suggests, it takes the form of a never-ending forest, forcing its residents to forever walk alone. Although cats of the Dark Forest are meant to be isolated as punishment, they later learn how to walk in the dreams of living cats. Like StarClan cats, Dark Forest residents will fade away if they are forgotten, or killed in battle.Series Warriors: The Prophecies Begin.

The author's attempt to create a hierarchical warrior-clan society falls a bit short: neither the imagined world nor the characters within it are consistent or compelling.

Okay, so, I need help for a rhyme, but this is the outline:Four Queens, one from each Clan, fall pregnant with kits. None of them have mates, and are stumped as to why they have kits.All four of them go into labor at the same time, though none of them realize it.It's during a full moon, in the middle of a gathering. The medicine cats and apprentices are attending, so no cat is there to help.A cat from each Clan leaves to get help, going to the lake. They all explain the situation, and most cats are stumped from the fact that four cats are going into labor at the same time.So, each Queen only gives birth to a single cat. Once again, this leaves cats shocked, seeing as it's very rare for a cat to give birth to a single kit, let alone four Queens at the same time.From AshClan:Ashkit is born.
He/she has a smokey, creamish pelt, the color of ash.From StormClan:Stormkit is born. He/she has a flaming orange pelt.From EarthClan:Earthkit is born. He/she is a light brown tabby, the color of earth.From FrostClan:Frostkit is born. He/she is a pure white kit.So, you can tweak and twist it to your liking.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but the cats basically all become leaders and stuff.I haven't had it all worked out. But I think we should do a prophecy involving already-created cats. I guess mine is just a backup.:DStormkit is born.
