The COMPLETE Warrior Cats Timeline (2024)

After six-seven months of hard work.... the Warrior Cats timeline is finally complete! It might be a bit rough in places, however, I figured I can't keep it locked in the basement forever.

*UPDATE* ANCIENT TIMES - Spoilers for Ivypool's Heart At some point, likely before the Warrior Code was cemented but after cat names became conjoined, two leaders fell in love. These leaders were Stripestar from ThunderClan and Galestar from WindClan. The two leaders decided to merge their clan into one clan, StormClan, which was then driven out of the forest. StormClan attempted to find a new home, however, Galestar and her kits were forced to be left behind during a storm. StormClan dissolved, and most of its members returned to the forest and remade their original clans. Galestar and her kits were rescued by Scottish Wildcats, and ended up interbreeding with them. Eventually, the clan cats and the MODERN TIMES - Spoilers for Wind Frostpaw and Nightheart both receive visions which direct them to the Cats of the Park, the modern descendant of the group which Riverstar came from. There, they meditation. Eventually, Frostpaw learns that Splashtail and Curlfeather were behind the death of Reedwhisker. Splashtail later betrayed Curlfeather so that he can become leader. They return to the lake armed with this new knowledge. Berryheart of ShadowClan attempts to oust Tigerstar as leader. However, she isn't able to garner enough support and ends up exiled herself, alongside her strongest supporters. Frostpaw and Nightheart return to the clans alongside Wafflepaw and Wasp, only to not be believed about Splashtail. Frostpaw joins ShadowClan. Frostpaw convinces Harestar to believe in her by helping to save a kit from an accident. Splashtail invites Berryheart to RiverClan. He hosts a clan meeting, where he kills his deputy Harelight and replaces him with Berryheart. He then uses Berryheart as a lure to ambush ShadowClan. Whistlepaw haws a strange vision of a fox head mountain and cats crying. Ivypool leads a patrol consisting of herself, Dovewing, Rootspring, Icewing, and Whistlepaw to go and find what Whistlepaw saw in her vision. On their journey, they met up with the sisters. They find a circus (?), and at the circus (?) they find Scottish wildcats. The Scottish wildcats do not want to escape, but tell the clan cats about the Star Tree. The patrol of cats go to the Star Tree. There, they learn about Galestar and Stripestar's attempt to form StormClan and how it all went awry. They learn about how the wildcats took Galestar in, and how every cat from StormClan faded away due to living cats not remembering them besides for Galestar. Then, they go and rescue the wildcats. They go back to the Star Tree and use the River of Spirits to bring Galestar to StarClan. Galestar tells StarClan about StormClan, and the rest of StormClan un-fades.

Harry was what Sol's owner called him, not him renaming himself after being exiled from SkyClan.

[@Featherlingoftime]

7:15 “Mothflight makes all the healers never fall in love after she’s done training them.” Thanks Erin hunter for the stupid code!

[@lalamoop870]

still can't get over how long greystripe lived for like... he has lasted the entire series. the ENTIRE series. not even firestar, the cat the series started about, made it that far. crazy. is greystripe considered the longest living cat in the timeline/lore? not counting like, dark forest or starclan cats, im talking warriors-living-in-a-clan cat. bc it's either him or longtail i can't remember

[@meganmena377]

No that was definitely misty foot. She was either older than him or the same age and died AFTER him

[@meganmena377]

Sorry misty star * better known in the begging

[@OliveTrees04]

Mistystar was born long before Greystripe was. There was a considerable time skip when you read Bluestar’s prophecy. At the end of it mistyfoot is a warrior where as Greystripe had either just become or was about to become an apprentice. At the end of the book BlueStar complains to Redtail that she’s old and wishes some things were different, and at the very very end of that last chapter we see that spottedleaf gets the prophecy of Rusty/firestar (I have read BlueStar’s prophecy so many times it’s become engrained in my mind lol)

[@lalamoop870]

@@OliveTrees04 damn i totally forgot that mistystar was born before him!! i guess i was thinking of strictly thunderclan cats LOL thanks!

[@OliveTrees04]

No it’s all good! I get it bc the books pretty much revolve round thunderclan it’s hard sometimes to remember things on the other clans. 💜

[@SnaileyT]

We all just need to appreciate that she spent 6-7 months working on this!

[@Waterhorse6646]

Ikr! Also I think the correct pronouns are he/him (based on his KZbin about)

[@SnaileyT]

Oh! I'm sorry!😥

[@Waterhorse6646]

@@Lepordtalonwarrior actually anyone can identify as any gender, and he presents himself the way he wants, just because he has a more “feminine” voice I doesn’t mean he uses she/her pronouns

[@Lepordtalonwarrior]

@@Waterhorse6646 Her voice sounds like such a little girls voice that she has no chance of passing as a man when she opens her mouth to speak.

[@Lepordtalonwarrior]

@@Waterhorse6646I identify as right

[@wolfiegirl83]

The first book of this series I ever read was Bluestar's Prophecy. I simply chose it because my 12-yr-old brain was like, "this book has the most pages here, I'll read this one." Little did I know it was one of the best ones to start on, although not THE best. It takes place right before the first arc.

[@jupiter649]

Birchface fell in first, his apprentice went after him. You flip flopped it. And the deputy rule was made after a leader was killed in battle and his kit took over, attacking Riverclan who he blamed for his fathers death. Other then that, it was great !

[@nahka4871]

Shadowsight was not told that bramblestar should be fed deathberries, insted he was told to bury him in the snow

[@snowsleaves]

Awesome video, very well done! I only have a tiny nitpick about the events of Spottedleaf's Heart being skipped over, but I understand why you may have made that decision, given how badly that particular novella was written & how it did not portray Thistleclaw's actions as the horrible behavior that it is.

[@clydetheenderman]

Almost every warrior cats fan views that book as non canon.

[@2008sar]

​@@clydetheenderman​ i would like to add to not ignore that it is cannon, as a victim it is removing the fact gr00ming dose happen

[@meevins]

@@2008sar i half agree but i'd like to remind you the book does NOT handle the topic well at all and if anything it is actively dangerous to other victims. it paints thistleclaw as being a horrible person because he's violent and trains in the dark forest, not because of what he did the spottedpaw. their "relationship" is frowned upon for all the wrong reasons instead of it being shown as bad because he's a fully grown adult preying on a minor. it should be ignored because it sends dangerous, harmful messages and all it does is retcon previous events. nothing is gained by including it as part of the text because canon rightfully does not touch it outside of this book. it should be left forgotten about because the last thing kids need is to read a book that does barely *anything* to warn them about the dangerous of grooming. as a victim myself it'd rather this story be forgotten about as while it's very important kids learn about these topics it should NOT be done through this book.

[@obbinss]

@@meevins yeah i'd rather it not be given any further attention. the problem is not because the book talks about grooming. the problem is that it does not handle the topic well and they should have never touched it to begin with. vulnerable kids need better a psa than a book series that says adults preying on minors is okay based on how many times they've written these same relationships and they've been treated as normal. let this book rot

[@mothwingthemedicinecat]

You did a nice job, people should listen to this! this has nice information, and a good listen.

[@camocat2]

Small mistake but you said barley was having the dreams of the skyclan leader but it was actually smudge! :>

[@ironwolf5802]

Kinda what I thought it would be, more or less sounds normal and just gets wild near the middle and end with powers.

[@PetalBugABoop]

Awesome effort on this timeline. I stopped reading after the 3rd series since the ending left a bad taste in my mouth. Tbh, the timeline makes me glad I jumped off when I did. The story feels like it jumped the shark too much for me. But glad people can enjoy it none the less.

[@CorvidFanatic1]

6:19 Ah, yes, gay wing. Perfection.

[@Featherlingoftime]

Perfection indeed.

[@tired_penguins]

im here to better understand the lore because my partner talks about warrior cats sometimes and im basically the "huh" cat meme when they talk about this stuff,

[@That1Wyrm]

Heh heh >:)

[@BK-is5fj]

Just learned about Tailchaser’s song. A book about cat’s released in the 80s which was most likely what inspired warriors.

[@5rcane]

I've read Tailchaser's Song! I might make a video on it one day...

[@mistygomez8570]

I stopped reading after Bramblestar's Storm and wanted to pick it back up, this is amazing ❤ thank you so much!

[@beecorraliza3193]

I used to read these in elementary school and I haven't really touched it since then and all i've just heard theres been even more books, it's crazy how much ive missed but this def was a little nostalgic i loved it

[@strawbz5869]

I'm only on the second series but I still wanna watch this!

[@shawty_wittle_baddie]

Literally finally getting into Warrior Cats and your the first person that popped up. I love reading but the moment I saw the amount of books, I nearly died. Thank you for this broken down version that seriously helped me, definitely gonna be stalking your channel and immediately subbed. ❤

[@youlleatamuffinandlikeit4596]

I've tried a few times to make a video like this-though simpler-and have always given up because I don't particularly want to read through all 100+ books and it's just a tedious process-and the wiki is still kind of a mess. So hat's off to you for being bold enough to actually manage this o7

Back when I read these books there was only two collections. After hearing there was 103 I got excited… then something about time travel… lost interest. Will continue with the timeline though to support the channel!

[@bigboi8207]

Going on a trip down memory lane thinking warrior cats were just some silly books about cats that exist in the vague corners of my fondest childhood memories only to be hit with somebody that I used to know ahh lore including but not limited to TIME TRAVEL in the first 3 minutes of the video is crazy You mean the part where I started reading these as a boy is 20 minutes into the video 🥲 Oh my god it's literally cats but they have all this depth and soul and humanity that makes for such an incredible story

[@Robloxshortskind_]

I’m 5 minutes in and already crying

[@floatingcrispbag7842]

•Me who hasn't read warrior cats since I was in elementary school back around 2012 cause lack of access to the books sees this video, huh I only got to the part of the series where they move to the lake wonder what happened after that. •First thing in the video there's already timetravel What the heck happened while I was away XDDDDD

[@cr0wbs]

I love this thank you!

[@yellowcatgirl]

JAYFEATHER TIME TRAVELS??,, WHAR HAPPENS IN THOSE LATER BOOKS (im like 2 minutes into the video just shocked)

[@rEd_PuNk]

I was expecting like an 11 or 32 hour video

[@Therian_Mercury]

It was 54 minutes yet I watched all of it in one sitting

[@KingDarkstalker]

I’m only watching this because I am wings of fire fan, but I am only watching this to know about warrior cats and it seems interesting

[@Ebonyfire]

Ain't it that SkyClan exile took place already after the last code rule was formed? Around maybe 10-15 years before Mapleshade.

[@strawberrydragon1]

Haha, the books I used to read as a child! Lets see whats going on the rece- THERES THAT MANY?

[@aydendorsey5749]

In year nine hollyleaf is listed as holylleaf. Also goose father in years negative 9 and 10

[@Akaridreams22]

You’re ALSO using HoobeZa - Dreaming in your video?!?! What are the odds that two of the videos that I watch (Or, at least, VISIT!) today BOTH share this background song that I like! (The other one was “everything you need to know about pixel art” by Mochibeans.)

The part where they say fans don't read the books and look at the animations to figure out what's happening I got to be honest... She isn't wrong

EXUSE ME? GAY WING? 6:52

[@happymonkeyfish]

Damn i havent read these books in like 10 years but it just occurred to me that the cat names parallel with native american naming styles

[@kitarozushi]

You forgot to mention why frecklewish died in mapleshades vengance 😢

[@Kauaimon]

im in my warrior cats era again frfr even though i know all its lore i'm sitting down and watching this video regardless. maybe i forgot something(impossible). i havent read all the books but i know what happens in everything due to osmosis . anyway if any of yall want well-written warrior cat book rewrites where the cats are big gay and snowkit doesnt die due to Bein Blind, i rec FatalBlow on AO3. For a really good rewrite that takes the humans out and has Fireheart start off as a prince in a cat society that farms(which the clan cats think makes them soft for not actually Hunting)(also theyre big gay in here as well) then look up the Strelles universe on Ao3(Aon_Rarsdani is the author). ANd another really good rewrite is iterum: children of the quartz heart by Dullard. This one is closest to canon and sort of just irons out the story and makes the characters feel more like real people...er...cats.

[@beedoesthings8037]

The humans always were my least favorite part of the setting because their presence made the series feel less fantastical. I understand why they were necessary for the setting and all, but I still didn’t like them.

[@rhaegals_7950]

Girl, take a breath! 😂 Great video!

[@manjavanopdorp8818]

there are too many books for me and yes its kinde intimidating and i have vision problems that why im a bit afraid to start reading the books

[@Cat_Inc]

[@Doofy_goofy_rabbit]

Wait so, there are more books before the into thw wild one?

[@Hollyleaf67]

Yes, the ones before it are prequels

[@watermelon3266]

Not to be nitpicky but a lot of these events were ordered wrong, not so wrong that you skip years, more like just one after the other being flip flopped. and some of the things, while are't completely wrong aren't actually true either. like when you said stormfur and brook came from the mountains to ask for help with rouges, what had actually happened was Crag (or maybe it was talon) and night come to ask for help. Nevertheless putting together this video took way more time than the runtime might suggest and I commend you for being able to do it.
