So a few of us were discussing this in the Discord server and I thought it might be nice to make a thread about it so we can discuss more in depth!
As some of you may know, Sol's character Roots and rogue group know the ghosts Sunchaser and Fieldflight, who are currently living in the old WindClan tunnels. As the idea goes, they got stuck there after a cave collapse and ended up dying due to the Clans ending before they could be found and dug out. As a result, they aren't able to leave the tunnels and pass on to StarClan just yet.
Now, we've had the idea of expanding the ghostie social circle a bit, in order to kickstart WindClan's formation! Here's some stuff we know so far:
We were also thinking of incorporating some personal drama! Celestine is currently creating a character who may know some other ghosts, and we had the idea that maybe those ghosts know Roots' ghosts! Ideas there were:
Hopefully I didn't forget anything, but that's what we've got so far! As time goes on we'll refine and change things to suit the plot, but I got excited and wanted to summarize so I didn't forget xD Feel free to discuss away!

Now, we've had the idea of expanding the ghostie social circle a bit, in order to kickstart WindClan's formation! Here's some stuff we know so far:
- Ghosts are tied to the WindClan tunnels; they can only be seen with full clarity inside the tunnels, and if they try to leave in order to appear to cats on the surface they begin to fade/become more unstable. Perhaps this is also painful for them, or they risk disappearing entirely without going to StarClan?
- They can choose to appear in dreams to living cats, just like regular StarClan cats (perhaps all dreams will take place in the tunnels, though?)
- The ghosts want WindClan to be reformed and the tunnels restored, and once that is done they will get to "ascend" to StarClan and finally join their loved ones in the afterlife. This event may spur on a festival/holiday of sorts in the Clan to commemorate the occasion, as the Clan will have gotten to know the ghosts quite well as they're rebuilding the tunnels.
- This could involve the Clan leading a parade through the tunnels which ends at the entrance closest to Mothermouth/the Moonstone, to symbolize them finally escaping the tunnels
We were also thinking of incorporating some personal drama! Celestine is currently creating a character who may know some other ghosts, and we had the idea that maybe those ghosts know Roots' ghosts! Ideas there were:
- There was an inner cave in, splitting four cats apart (Sunchaser and Fieldflight on one side, and the other two ghosts elsewhere)
- Part of the reason Celestine's cat is being summoned to the moors through dreams is so that they can aid in the reconstruction of the tunnels, leading to a heartfelt reunion scene between the four ghosts at some point in the future.
Hopefully I didn't forget anything, but that's what we've got so far! As time goes on we'll refine and change things to suit the plot, but I got excited and wanted to summarize so I didn't forget xD Feel free to discuss away!
