My Father's Sons [Development/StarClan Revelation Plot]

Plot Name: My Father's Sons
Clans involved: SkyClan, one cat from RiverClan
Characters Directly Involved: Sandpaw (Grizzly), Tanglekit (Lemongrass), Minkpaw (Chickenwing)
Potentially Involved: Mintwhisker (Drippy), Amberdawn (suma), Tinystar (Ice), Swallowpaw (Lulu), Lightpaw (rhindon)

Will there be code-breaking?: Sort of. It involves the code-breaking that Firflower committed by having kits with Starlord.

Explain your Plot: Sandpaw and his siblings have two fathers. Lightpaw, Swallowpaw, and Sandpaw are the children of Starlord, the infamous rogue that perished in the mountains protecting Minkpaw of RiverClan from a dog. Cypresspaw and Maplepaw are the children of Elmcloud, a SkyClan warrior who shared the litter with Firflower as his own. It seemed as though only StarClan would know the truth... until Sandpaw's moonstone journey. Tanglekit, another kit who was kin of Starlord, delivers to him shocking news: the father he knew was not his, and that his entire litter was in great jeopardy. Should Amberdawn and Mintwhisker discover the truth, it is up to him to defend his kin from being exiled: especially Maplepaw, as she was even more innocent than the others. Tasked with this heavy knowledge, he travels to RiverClan territory and confronts Minkpaw, asking him to tell him what he knew about their father. Sandpaw lives with the truth and never tells a single soul, until... (1 of 3 endings)

1) Amberdawn or Mintwhisker receives a prophecy from StarClan saying that there are kits of rogue blood in Firflower's litter. When privately questioned about his origins, he realizes what is at stake and tells Tinystar that he cannot prove that any one cat is kin of Elmcloud or Starlord, and that they've served him well for many moons. Sand promises that he is the only littermate who knows the truth (or lies and claims that StarClan told him he was he only one), and Tinystar must decide whether to let bygones be bygones or exile Sand.

2) The truth never comes into SkyClan's leader's hands, and after many seasons, Sand privately tells Light and Swallow the truth about their father and make them solemnly swear that nobody will ever know the truth: not one mate, one kit, or one friend, lest they all be in danger.

3) Sandpaw takes the fall in some way, shape, or form, and yeets himself out of SkyClan, taking on his rogue name of Arno.

In all endings, the only cat in danger of exile remains to be Sand out of courtesy to the other roleplayer's plans for their cats. Should he be exiled, he'll accept it in exchange for the safety of his kin and move on from clan life as well as he can.

How will this impact the characters/clans involved?: Sand has to live with the knowledge that Elmcloud is not his real father and that, at any moment, his family could be exiled for something they had no control over. Sand will defend his kin more strongly than ever and will also have to learn to forgive his mother for what she did. Tinystar may have to decide to allow rogue blood in SkyClan to avoid exiling innocent cats.

Provide links to relevant topics: None yet as this was discussed on Discord, but a sign up topic will be made promptly and this application will be updated.

Why should this plot be approved?: I personally think that it's a fun way to honor Starlord's turbulent legacy and keep his memory alive for a little longer. I don't want Sand to go to waste as a character and I think that this could be a great way to give him a little wisdom and maturity where he's lacking it right now.
