--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...NIGHTPELT/STAR and the other ShadowClan elders who were exiled by Brokenstar! ...Well, that's my theory, anyway. Here's some evidence to support that theory (gathered from hours of googling, stalking Instagram, and staring at incredibly blurry pictures of concept art): EXHIBIT A: This tweet from the Warrior Cats Unofficial Twitter account, and additionally, this tweet from another user with much clearer images, both containing screenshots from James L. Barry's Instagram story. These screenshots show reference pictures of ShadowClan's forest territory, as well as several (mostly ShadowClan) characters who were alive during Yellowfang's Secret and Into the Wild, which means the book will likely take place during that time frame. I have done my best to decipher the characters' identities, and these are my final deductions:
Note how an entire sheet is devoted to Nightpelt's reference images, just like Feathertail had her own full page of character reference for A Shadow In RiverClan. This gives me reason to believe Nightpelt will be the POV character of this graphic novel. Also note the presence of the four other elders who were exiled by Brokenstar along with Nightpelt: Crowtail, Hollyflower, Archeye, and Poolcloud. EXHIBIT B: This post from James L. Barry's Instagram account, showing a WIP of a character from what is presumably a new Warriors graphic novel, with him giving hints about the character's identity in the comments (a ShadowClan she-cat with blue eyes who is "new (to (him)))", likely meaning she's a preexisting character, but one he hasn't drawn before. This character's appearance matches that of Poolcloud from the aforementioned screenshots. EXHIBIT C: This post by tumblr user clanslist, referring to "thumbnail sketches" from James L. Barry's Instagram allegedly revealing the title of the upcoming graphic novel, Exile from ShadowClan, as well as a scene where Brokenstar supervises Littlepaw and Volepaw fighting rats. The validity of this particular source may be questionable, since I have not personally seen the sketches the user refers to, but if these claims are true, they appear to strongly support my theory.
Having analyzed all of this evidence, I have deduced that the 2022 Warriors Graphic Novel will be titled Exile From ShadowClan, and will follow Nightpelt, Archeye, Crowtail, Hollyflower, and Poolcloud as they are exiled from ShadowClan and team up with ThunderClan to overthrow Brokenstar.
I look forward to the book being officially announced later this month (if the pattern holds) to either confirm or disprove my theory.
What do you guys think?

really happy that it will follow nightpelt/nightstar, but i was also hoping it'd feature more about the medicine cat runningnose instead. i hope i can see amberleaf because if that's archeye up there, then i hope for more background cats from YS.

Wait, that was Tallpoppy in that picture? I could've sworn that it was either Russetfur or Rowanberry.
Anyways, I'm quite alright with this. There's also the fact that we will finally see Volepaw's death. Oh, and btw, Featherstorm was a exiled elder as well. Just not right away.

Note the colors may be slightly off due to the lighting, Volepaw looks almost ginger there (he's brown)

I'd rather it be Runningnose tbh. He's way more interesting. Or Littlecloud.

Note the colors may be slightly off due to the lighting, Volepaw looks almost ginger there (he's brown) idk if its the lighting because thats still too dark a color for tallpoppy anyways. she's light brown. edit: also that shouldnt be volepaw either then because that's clearly an orangey-ginger color, not brown. i think those 2 r the mislabeled cats.

Actually, in this image, the cat under Mosspaw is clearly labeled as Volepaw. Also, I'm pretty certain the reddish cat's name ends in a Y, so I suppose the only possible alternative would be Rowanberry.

The reason why I was stuck on Russetfur and Rowanberry is actually because of the colouring. Russetfur is dark ginger which matches the colour of this cat. Rowanberry is cream-and-brown and this cat has a lighter colour muzzle and belly. Though that could be a light red, so it's just hard for me to tell. Also, Russetfur has green eyes and Rowanberry has amber eyes. But good luck to anyone who can tell what the eye colour here is.

Could maybe pass as a reddish-tinted cream-and-brown cat, but my money is still on Tallpoppy

I just want to clarify that Tallpoppy is a light brown tabby.

Whoohoo! Great opportunity to sh!t on Brokenstar and his regime even more. Plus I can't wait for the new ShadowClan art and aesthetics we'll be getting out of it.

I hope it's Nightpelt, he deserves to have something on him, but maybe you should make it clear in the title that this is only a theory, seeing as how the protagonist hasn't actually been confirmed yet.
