The Judge

Hollymoon AU "SHADOWCLAN"

They're the lawyers + judges of the universe. could be renamed to the Shadow Clowder or Shadow Court.

- believe that Starclan consists of ancestors with more experience, thus they have determined what is right + wrong

> Starclan is the ultimate judge

> Cats following Shadow Court philosophy think it's their responsibility to assess actions and create a warrior code. Help prepare cats to be judged by Starclan

> other cats + groups go to them to settle disputes

Theme of shadow because they see situations as black/white. They're decisive and try to avoid getting lost in "gray areas".

> very specific cats who care about how rules are phrased

The leader figure of the group can be the judge. the group seeks cats who can act as lawyers or help run trials.

> need to decide if the judge serves for life or if there's voting periods where cats can decide collectively on a new judge? could vote on a new judge from a pool of experience cats.
