Information
StarClan is made up of the dead cats from the four Clans of the forest. StarClan cats live in their own forest in the afterlife. They leave starry pawprints, and their pelts glow with a pale light, which makes them look like they have stars in their fur. The Clan cats believe that StarClan is represented by Milky Way, or as they call it, Silverpelt, with each star being a StarClan warrior. StarClan is sometimes referred to as the "fifth Clan" of the forest.
StarClan sends messages to the Clans in times of great danger or confusion. Medicine cats receive these signs at the Moonpool or Moonstone. To receive the signs of StarClan medicine cats either drink the water at the Moonpool or touch noses with the Moonstone. StarClan can also walk in cats dreams to give them signs even though they are not at the Moonpool or Moonstone. StarClan apparently has no defined leader or deputy, but when a leader dies, he or she keeps the -star suffix in their name. There is also a Place of No Stars, which is apparently the opposite of StarClan, where cats who have "caused great pain in their lives" go in death. StarClan cats can enter the Place of No Stars, but they run the risk of being trapped there, unable to exit the Dark Forest.
