"StarClan cares for every cat in the forest, from the blind, helpless kit to the oldest elder lying in the sun. We watch over them. We send omens and dreams to the medicine cats. But the storm was no doing of ours. Scourge and Tigerstar wade through blood to power because that is their nature. We watch, but we do not interfere. If we did, would you truly be free? Firestar, you and every cat have the choice of whether not to follow the warrior code. You are not playthings of StarClan."
--- Bluestar, speaking to Firestar about StarClan not ruling the forest. (The Darkest Hour, Page 263)
