My god, had bad did Night fumble that ball to fuck up this slam dunk of a victory.
Don't the clans skirmish with each other or something like that, or is Starclan basically their direct government and they just hang out
There is something super interesting about the main villain government actually being very easy to overthrow, like they are easy as hell to beat up. But the problem isn't in beating them, it's in legitimacy.
Staran might be corrupt, but they have about a few centuries of good will, achievements, faith, and just plain knowing how to run a clan on their resume. DF is basically a bunch of assholes who came out of left field and know how to kill, that no one knows or likes.
Sure, you might be able to kick Starclan to the curb, but can you actually justify why you should be in charge rather than them?
Lmao yeah
I think the clans probably do have skirmishes, just not often thanks to the sheer size of their territories lol (leads to miscommunication HELL but also less contact with each other or each other’s borders that they could fight over. they don’t have gatherings like in warriors).
The DF’s ‘legitimacy’ is super interesting, since Night’s motivations behind the rebellion are inherently selfish, and arguably taking an approach of getting rid of the whole society instead of trying to fix it is Bad
The main point behind Petalclaw's little resistance group after that is basically ‘we don’t think starclan was great but you didn’t have the right to do that to us’ (+ Night’s motivation behind her involvement in the rebellion was basically ‘StarClan didn’t have the right to do that to me’. I’m sure Night will respond to this parallel very Normally).
