Dark Forest

Overview
The Dark Forest is where villainous cats are banished to at death. The purpose of this preyless forest is to punish such cats, sentencing them to a "life" of restless fighting and starvation. It exists in the same realm as StarClan and, in rare cases, it's possible to cross between the two afterlives. For someone to be sent to the Dark Forest, they have to have committed foul crimes during their life, and as such its inhabitants tend to be hostile and cruel to one another. When it comes to the living, though, cats of the Dark Forest put on a friendly facade, posing as StarClanners, even, in an attempt to manipulate young cats into doing their bidding. This behavior is more commonly seen in members of the Aspguard.

Territory
An ominously gloomy forest with pine trees so tall they hide the already starless sky. No light makes it through the thick canopy, apart from a spot right outside the Aspguard's den where the bloody moon can be seen. The ground is rough, sticky and has little to no water, however poisonous herbs and fungi do manage to grow sparsely. StarClan and the Dark Forest share a border that cats are able to cross and often fight at.

No prey runs in the Dark Forest, its cats are doomed to starve for all eternity.

The Aspguard
Originally created by Sulfurstar, the Aspguard consists of the most powerful, highly regarded cats in the Dark Forest. They're recruited by its absolute leader and must be entirely loyal to them. Members of the Aspguard often take on unofficial "apprentices", manipulating living cats in their dreams to make them work against their Clans.

Sulfurstar
Sulfurstar lived and died in the Farlands, under the name of Sulfurfur. He had three kits with his mate, Willowstar, who was once known as Cloudberry. He was a hateful cat, resenting his brother Eclipsestar for becoming leader over him. He killed off every Farlands SkyClan highrank except for Bluefeather and his brother, who ultimately killed him and sent him to the Dark Forest. Sulfurfur didn't stay for long, giving himself the name of Sulfurstar and heading out to find a new sky where he would lead. And he did, upon finding the cats of The Valley.

Sulfurstar founded the Aspguard as his own loyal army. He took control of the broken Dark Forest and became its ultimate leader, striking fear into both the dead and living. He managed to imprison ThunderClan, and succeeded in his goal of bringing SkyClan to another downfall. With Widowstar's "help", he killed Darkstar, Lightlily, and Mellowbug, and also faded Bluefeather for good.

After his event with The Median came to an end, his group grew restless, and Glitch ended up uniting with Shiningheart of StarClan to kill and replace him.
