TABBY TALES YEAR 1 SITEWIDE PLOT╱ AUGUST 1 TO OCTOBER ??
The five clans were born into uncertain times and have not left them since. With the Great Battle a year behind them now, tension continues to crackle at borders and beneath the full moon. By now, each clan has developed their identity, honed their unique skills, and have grown into tight-knit families. But when an unseen threat endangers them all, they will have to work together if the five will survive.
AUGUST 1 - 25 ; It starts with one cat in SkyClan, an average daylight warrior who presents with loss of appetite, fever, difficulty breathing, delirium, and sore throat. Slowly, it spreads, patrol to patrol until cats from all five clans are falling ill. The medicine cats struggle to identify what this illness is, as while their herbs are helping, they are not curing the sickness.
AUGUST 25 - 31 ; One medicine cat makes a discovery: lungwort cures the mysterious illness, which the medicine cats have begun to call yellowcough. There is only one problem…lungwort grows in leaf-bare and there isn’t nearly enough to go around. By this time, the disease has been revealed to be deadly if it progresses far enough, adding even more urgency to the precarious situation.
SEPTEMBER 1 - 15 ; At a loss, the medicine cats are beginning to lose hope. All they can do is treat the symptoms that are presenting, but without lungwort the illness will not subside. All seems lost until each medicine cat recessives a sign - or rather, fragmented signs.
The medicine cats share with their leaders, who have no idea what it means. At the medicine cat gathering, they each share what they received and realize they fit together. It’s a message for all of them! Excitedly, they return home to share with their leaders, who meet at Fourtrees to discuss the meaning. They come to the conclusion with the help of their medicine cats that they must send cats from each clan to the mountains, following the setting sun, to retrieve the lungwort that awaits them there.
At the following Gathering, the five clans say goodbye to the departing journey-goers.
SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 15 ; With their decision made, the group departs. Though they must send their clanmates into the mountains in search of their cure, the loss of healthy warriors leaves the clans struggling. More details will be released closer to the journey's date.

During this phase, we would like to emphasize a realistic spread of disease. You have all of August to have characters fall ill, and even into September! If you’re not wanting to kill your character and you know you’ll lack muse with a long-term sick character, we encourage you to hold off on getting them sick.

More cats should be falling ill. Though sickness is not required, the clans will begin to struggle to treat their symptoms. ShadowClan suffers without access to lungwort at all.

Things have grown even more dire. Feeding every clan member is difficult, and border patrols are scarcer. Worry leaves tensions high both within the clans and between them.
