Kestrelsands's Den

{::::———Main Account Lore———::::}

———Dustmuzzle———

Dustmuzzle was moulded from the earth, his dusty pelt hardening into red clay over time. Founder of DustClan, when the time came to receive his ‘star’ suffix and nine lives, he was not granted them. Bitter, he sought to make the ancestors pay for not recognising his achievements. However, he couldn’t deny his true nature and returned to being a good leader. He retired peacefully, and advised his successor from beyond the grave. He started the tradition of leaders bonding with animals, and encouraged pridemates to give the animals the role of den guard. His own bond helped the king with battles, charging in antlers-first, and damaging the opponent.

———Darkstar (The Adorable)———
Formerly Darkmist

The first lion to give Darkstar a life in the ceremony was his adoptive father, Dustmuzzle, who rescued him from the Trading Center when he was a cub. His kind personality was influenced by the previous king, and Darkstar learned how to be a fair leader from the wise lion.

Darkstar sometimes has seizures due to a recessive gene, which is why he decided not to breed within the Clan. He is unusually well-groomed for an inbred lion, hence his title. His bonded animal, although small, helped him by alerting the shamans whenever he had a seizure.

On the day of his death, Darkstar went out for a stroll while the sun shone in the centre of the sky, blissfully unaware of the fate that would befall him in only moments. He leaned back onto his haunches to catch his breath, not considering exactly where he had perched himself. If he paid more attention, maybe he’d have noticed the pool of crocodiles looming at his paws sooner. He realised when it was far too late; right as a seizure began to wrack his body, leaving him to fall into the pit. His heir, Scorchedearth did nothing but watch as Darkstar dropped into the jaws of the crocodile, only smirking as he watched the leadership of DustClan fall into his paws.

———Scorchedstar———
Formerly Scorchedearth

Scorchedstar is the brother of another ferus named Martyred. When the two ferus cubs were born, their father was immediately angered, confused and upset. And so their mother’s throat was torn open, and she was left to bleed out and die, even if the mutations of her cubs weren’t her own fault.

They both were begrudgingly raised until they neared adolescence, the time where their father finally demanded that his two mutated sons leave and never return. However, they didn’t truly know how to care for themselves, and a kind lioness took them in.. which would prove to be a fatal mistake for her. She wasn’t great at covering up her tracks and a more loyal subject of the king decided to snitch on her, leaving her to the same fate as the mother of the two primal brothers. Needless to say, they were horrified, but Martyred managed to push it aside, just for a moment, to swear vengeance upon the mouthy lioness. Luck finally aided the two, and they managed to escape, albeit with some new, mortifying images etched into the minds of Scorch (Scorchedstar’s name then) and Martyred.

Soon enough they found themselves wandering through vast stretches of land, with nowhere to call home. They fought, they survived. One day, it finally paid off. They were found by two lions, one a cocoa-furred king with strange, darker patches that tore his pelt, and a mythical, black-and-white ruler, born from the stars themselves. Scorch grew impatient, and soon desired the role of leader Darkstar possessed. The same was for Martyred. The starborn king soon retired due to his age beginning to hinder him, allowing Martyred to neatly step into the position of leader, but that wasn’t the same for Scorch.

The leader of DustClan went out on a stroll, and stopped to catch his breath, not looking where he perched himself. When he realised he was above a pool of crocodiles, he began to have a seizure. Scorch did nothing but watch as Darkstar dropped into the jaws of the crocodile, only smirking as he watched the leadership of DustClan fall into his paws.

The mouthy lioness soon bloomed in Martyred’s mind. She was still out there, somewhere. She had to be. He told Scorchedstar, and they began to brew a plan on how to make her pay. When she curled up for a nap she was disturbed by two, burly feruses. That was when she remembered. They took their turns torturing her, snapping her legs with their powerful jaws and delivering other painful wounds before leaving her to die in the middle of nowhere. This was Scorchstar’s first kill.

Scorchedstar’s bonded creature he raised from an egg, teaching it how to kill. It was fierce, deadly, and highly protective of the ferus.

——— Fallenstar———
Formerly Fallensun

Fallenstar took the lead of a broken clan after the death of Scorchedstar in an uprising. He was appointed leader by the Clan, as Scorchedstar had no heir (and they wouldn’t have trusted the ferus’s heir anyways). Although the rebels were victorious, Scorchedstar’s leadership had taken its toll. Many pridemates had died; beloved Violetheart, wise Onyxfang, and agile Flarelynx.

Fallen(star) had grown up in the Championship Arena and was recruited by Scorchedstar to join his clan, with the ferus having realised Fallen’s strength. However, the rebels had the same idea and approached him, offering to protect him and his sister Risen(moon). He agreed, and helped the rebel sight against Scorchedstar. Eventually, the rebels succeeded and Scorchedstar was killed by his own lions.

Fallen and his sister were given warrior names, Fallensun and Risenmoon. However, the rebels decided to elect him leader, and so he became Fallenstar. He became a well respected leader, and adopted a kit from the (very dead) starborn king’s former pride (the Ominous Pride). Her name became Rosethorn.

———Shamans———
Sandfur, Mistshadows, Jacanasong
The first shaman of DustClan, Sandfur, was born with a gift that allowed her to hear and see spirits. She passed this on to her daughter, Mistshadows, who passed it on to her daughter, Jacanasong. Sandfur is the one that decreed that there must be a council to help guide the king.

———The Council of the Seasons———
Birdcall, Pondkit, Flakewing

“A monster of a lion! Curled horns, snake-like tongue, sharp fangs… yes, I think she would be a good choice. She shall guide us to a better future! She shall be Spring! What, you think I’m making it up? How dare you! I’m definitely, 100% telling the truth. I’m not punishing the Clan for Scorchedstar! Nope! I’m a wise spirit who you should listen to!” - Shaman Sandfur, speaking through Mistshadows about Birdcall.

“A lily that blooms in harsh sun will be exiled from the brother’s pride, and we must welcome her with open arms. She has suffered, and we will help her begin a new life as Summer” Sandfur’s second prophecy brought DustClan the Embodiment of Summer, Pondkit.

AUTUMN

“The spirit of Winter speaks of a snow blessed cub, child of the meteor-born king. Find her, and bring her to us… she shall be his champion”… From Sandfur’s words, the last council member was sought out.

———Deputies and Heirs———
In DustClan, the deputy refers to the lion/lioness who assist the leader with decision-making and sorting out the hunting, but only until the heir is experienced enough to take over these jobs, usually when the heir is 2 years old. A deputy cannot be replaced until they retire or die. If leadership of the Clan is passed down to the heir, the deputy will not be replaced.

——— Kestrelsands———
Kestrelsands just wants to hang out with his birds, not run a vacation spot for DustClan’s lionesses. He’s constantly stressed, and would love a minute of no responsibilities. Of course, he’s too nice to say that.
