Additionally, DustClan has a strong oral tradition and passes down its stories from generation to generation with a heavy focus on accuracy. They have a specialized role for this, separate from that of medicine cat, called the "Speaker". There are two speaker slots and two speaker apprentices. Apprentices must learn the stories of the clan word for word - even the slightest alteration is punishable. The Speakers were silenced during Dragonstar's reign - the two full Speakers were exiled, and their apprentices were taught only what Dragonstar wanted them to know. As a result, much of DustClan's early history has been lost, but the exiled Speakers managed to pass on some of their knowledge to their apprentices both before and after their exile.

First came SIERRASTAR, once known as Sierra Sky. Sierrastar was a gentle and wise ruler who was greatly loved by her Clan and admired even by those from the other Clans. Her reign was the first of many for SierraClan, and was a time of peace and prosperity for the Clan. Upon her death she was deified, and her medicine cat's apprentice discovered a constellation in the sky after a dream from StarClan; this constellation was named in honour of Sierrastar and is almost always found right above the Clan's camp. She had two deputies in her time as leader: her first was Batfur, who served almost twenty moons as deputy before being killed by twolegs; her second was Orchidheart, who served only a short time as deputy and was her successor. Sierrastar died of old age and illness.
Then came ORCHIDSTAR. Orchidstar was as fair a leader as Sierrastar had been, with a kind heart, but his time as leader was short-lived. He held a powerful connection with the stars and was a devout follower of StarClan; he, too, had a constellation named after him upon his death. While his reign was not as peaceful as Sierrastar's, he tried his best to maintain good relationships with the other three Clans. His strong spirituality was viewed as weak by many of his warriors, who did not believe that he was truly worthy to succeed Sierrastar. Orchidstar was keen to form an alliance with Skimmerstar when the DustClan leader made his barter, and found security in having a strong ally. He lost most of his lives in combat, but the cause of his final, ninth death remains uncertain - it is suspected that he was murdered by Spiderfang, who succeeded him despite not being the Clan's appointed deputy. Orchidstar had one deputy, Egretwing, who died of greencough before her nine lives ceremony. Spiderfang was Orchidstar's successor.
SPIDERSTAR's reign was a violent and bloody one; he was a twisted cat of wicked morals and he lacked any shred of compassion or empathy. A warmonger, Spiderstar plunged his Clan repeatedly into needless, brutal combat with the other three just to satisfy his own thirst for blood. He was notorious for his cruel training regime, which forced kits who were too young to be apprenticed into rigorous, pre-apprenticeship training to indoctrinate them. He desired only the most hardened and strongest cats as warriors and outcast many who were too old or too sick to serve a purpose in his tyrannical dictatorship, including his own father. The latter half of his leadership coincided with the early part of Dragonstar's, and a period of Seastar's; this terrible time eventually became known as the Blood Reign by many in SierraClan who survived Spiderstar's vice-like grip on their Clan. Like Orchidstar, he lost most of his lives in combat. His final life was taken by Prickletail, who turned on Spiderstar when he attempted to attack a pregnant queen. Spiderstar had four deputies during his leadership: Bearscar, who died in combat; Ternflight, who died of an infection; Snakestripe, who died in combat; and Thistlecloud, who fell from a cliff fighting DustClan warriors in a border skirmish. Prickletail was Spiderstar's successor.
Following Spiderstar's reign of violence came PRICKLESTAR. Pricklestar was by no means a saint - he was very morally grey and made many harsh calls during his time as leader - but he was well-respected even if leadership did not come to him naturally. He worked hard to compensate for Spiderstar's misdeeds and eventually returned SierraClan to its original state as a peaceful Clan who believed in pacifism, following Sierrastar's example. It took him a long time to rebuild the Clan, but eventually SierraClan returned to its former glory. He opened the borders again and did his best to recover those who had been forced into exile by Spiderstar; he was largely successful but many, including Spiderstar's own father, Dingofur, did not make it. He returned their bodies to their rightful resting place in the Clan's ancestral graveyard, and they were buried with great honour. Although hesitant, Pricklestar eventually extended his support to DustClan and RainClan; he was unafraid to voice his strong dislike for Seastar, who reminded him too strongly of Spiderstar for his liking. Pricklestar had a long reign, eventually losing his final life to pneumonia and named two deputies in his time. Stonetalon was a senior warrior when he was named, and grew too old to carry out his warrior duties anymore; he retired to the elders' den with the greatest honours bestowed upon him for his service, and he was replaced by Fennelflower. Fennelflower was Pricklestar's successor.
FENNELSTAR was a shockingly young cat when she was named as leader, having only just seen her first apprentice graduate to warriorhood before Pricklestar announced that she was to replace Stonetalon. As Pricklestar's niece, the Clan assumed her naming was a result of favouritism and bias on Pricklestar's part, and Fennelstar had secretly agreed. While inexperienced and still full of the recklessness of youth, Fennelstar proved herself to be a worthy leader; she relied heavily on the advice of her most senior warriors, her deputy and her medicine cat, but her compassion and her consideration quickly made her admired by many. It was during her reign that the most severe cat-culling incident in Clan history occurred, and many of Fennelstar's trusted council vanished, never to be seen again. If fate had allowed it, Fennelstar would have reached out to the other Clans and striven for firm alliances, but she was forced to remain in hiding with the rest of her Clan during the cat-culling. To help regrow her Clan, Fennelstar took in many outsiders and was careful in her treatment of them, training them in the ways of the Warrior Code. One of these outsiders went on to become a medicine cat by the name of Ibiswing who, for her many years of loyal service and the good deeds they performed in life, was eventually deified alongside the leader who took her in. Fennelstar lost her final life saving an apprentice from falling to his death. She had three deputies over the course of her leadership: Gullheart broke his back falling from a cliff when the rocks gave way and Fernpelt died of greencough. Geckotail was Fennelstar's successor.
GECKOSTAR is the current leader of SierraClan. The seasons have not been kind to him, and although he was once handsome and strong he is now old, frail and ailing. He refuses to admit this to his Clan, and even to himself one might dare to suggest - he will not come to terms with the fact that he is dying. These past few moons, he has ignored the advice of his medicine cat and becomes enraged at even the slightest mention or suggestion that he is losing his grip on his Clan. Although nobody knows for certain how many lives he has left, as he has never confided in anybody, rumours throughout all four Clans claim that he is clinging to his final life and it will not be long before he dies. He spends most of the time in his den, isolated from his Clan and leaving them in the paws of his deputy, who has had to assume the role of leader around the camp. He tends to clash with the other three leaders, although he tolerates Pelicanstar whom he considers of a like mind. Heronstar frustrates him, as the DustClan leader is awfully young, and Geckostar - well, Geckostar isn't. He has no strong opinion on Tidestar but he was unusually (perhaps suspiciously) fond of Minnowstar while the former BayClan leader was alive. His first deputy was his brother, Leafclaw, but Leafclaw was killed by twolegs.

Honestly, you're just setting him up for failure.
What season were we thinking of starting the RP in? I was thinking greenleaf, since that's the toughest season (I'm pretty sure australia's winters are mild, although I could be wrong) and the heat/humidity would be basically hell for the cats.
