Reversals is a unique twist on the classic Warriors tale we all know and love: there are four groups, each maintaining a unique territory that they have lived on and adapted to for countless generations. These four groups are named for the land they control: Ruinplace, a cliff with countless abandoned human nests, Sunnysands, a desert-like wasteland with little water, Crashingwaves, a large beach with an expansive network of caves, and Shadowtrees, a fertile forest whose dense foliage blocks out most light. There is more dividing the groups than territory boundaries and histories of past conflicts, however; each group controls an element specific to a particular group, and can wield this magic to defend the territory from intruders. In the west, Ruinplace and Crashingwaves control Air and Water respectively, whereas the eastern cats of Shadowtrees and Sunnysands can respectively manipulate Earth and Fire. From creating torrents of rushing water to blazing infernos of terror or summoning divine bolts of lightning to cleaving the earth in two with a massive earthquake, these cats hold immense power in their paws.
The groups' histories are rich with myths; tales of heroes describe the origins of peculiarities found in day-to-day life, not to mention how the myths advocate for a strong belief in whoever the group worships. Each group worships a particular deity, such as Shadowtrees worshiping the Earth they walk on and Ruinplace calling upon the Cats of the Sky for guidance, or the Sun holding a particular holiness for the cats of Sunnysands and the Crashingwaves cats either calling the Moon or the Ocean their guardian.
Now that the groups have recovered from the disasters that struck their territories and cats, what will happen next? Will a group suddenly gain power and take over another territory, or will there be an uprising to seize control from the current leader in one group? Everyone watches in anxious anticipation, waiting for someone to make a move... and nobody can tell what might initiate a war.
