This is a timeline of the Warriors series, starting with Crookedstar's Promise. It is not a summary of books - it is a table that shows when a particular event occurred, so users can see the succession of events and calculate how much time passed between two moments, or how old a cat is at a certain point in the books.
Only major events and characters are listed. For additional details on plots, click on the book titles. For a complete list of births, check the Nursery page. For a complete list of deaths, check the StarClan and Place of No Stars pages. A blank box indicates that no cat was born and/or died at that time.

- ↑ Crookedstar's Promise pg 119, reveals that it's early leaf-bare when Willowkit and Graykit are 2 moons old, meaning they were born in mid/late leaf-fall.
- ↑ Page 232 of Crookedstar's Promise mentions Newleaf fishing. The kits are born 2 days later, on page 247.
- ↑ Born on page 248 of Crookedstar's Promise, a chapter after it mentions Newleaf fishing.
- ↑ They were a half-moon old by page 259 of Crookedstar's Promise. In the same chapter, it mentions that it is getting warmer, suggesting the end of Newleaf.
- ↑ It is said to be nice to lie on Sunningrocks, implying the chapter Leopardfoot's kitting starts in takes place during newleaf or greenleaf
- ↑ On page 278 of Crookedstar's Promise, kits complain that it's too hot to be inside the nursery while Brightsky is kitting.
- ↑ It is mentioned to be leaf-fall during the chapter Whitekit is born
- ↑ They are revealed to be born a half moon after Whitekit
- ↑ They are born soon after Snowfur's death
- ↑ Revealed to be a new apprentice during a Gathering during the leaf-bare before Bluefur's kits are born
- ↑ They are said to be three moons older than Bluefur's kits, thus making them a season older
- ↑ The camp is covered in snow half a moon after they are born, thus placing their birth in early leaf-bare
- ↑ When Rusty joins ThunderClan (late-newleaf), he is about apprentice age, so he was likely born some time between late greenleaf and late leaf-fall
- ↑ Graypaw, Sandpaw, Ravenpaw and Dustpaw are about the same age as Rusty, so they were born at the same time as him
- ↑ Chapter 6 of Into the Wild hints that the action starts in mid-newleaf, then stretches through greenleaf
- ↑ He is apprenticed during early leaf-fall, placing his birth during early newleaf
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Fire and Ice mentions that it is leaf-fall, while Chapter 18 mentions that it is leaf-bare
- ↑ Cloudpaw is apprenticed to Fireheart during Forest of Secrets in newleaf, so he was likely born during leaf-fall
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Forest of Secrets mentions that it is a harsh leaf-bare, while Chapter 9 mentions that the thaw has arrived
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Rising Storm mentions that it is a very hot greenleaf
- ↑ The events in Into the Woods occur shortly after Tigerstar is made leader in early leaf-fall
- ↑ Chapter 8 of A Dangerous Path mentions that it is early leaf-fall
- ↑ The prologue of Bluestar's Prophecy takes place when Bluestar saves Firestar from the dog pack and dies.
- ↑ Chapter 1 of The Darkest Hour mentions that it is leaf-bare
- ↑ The end of The Rise of Scourge takes place at the same time as The Darkest Hour, although its plot started many seasons before
- ↑ Escape from the Forest ends at the spring thaw, so it takes place during leaf-bare and newleaf
- ↑ Sasha was already pregnant when the thaw arrived; so Hawk, Moth and Tadpole are likely born in mid-newleaf
- ↑ Spiderkit is shown as a 2-3 moon old kit during Brambleclaw's warrior ceremony in Firestar's Quest. You can spot a continuity error here: he is apprenticed only around the beginning of Midnight (next year's late greenleaf), thus after about 15 moons instead of the regular 6 moons; same with Shrewpaw
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Firestar's Quest mentions that it is greenleaf, while in Chapter 34, it is mid-leaf-fall
- ↑ Ashfoot is mentioned giving birth to three kits, one of which is believed to be Crowfeather
- ↑ In the epilogue of Firestar's Quest (taking place during leaf-bare), it is noted that she was about to be apprenticed; so she was likely born in greenleaf
- ↑ From the imagery, it is obvious that Return to the Clans takes place during leaf-fall
- ↑ Shattered Peace takes place in leaf-bare in the old forest; Squirrelkit and Leafkit were already born
- ↑ Squirrelpaw is eight moons old at the beginning of Midnight (late greenleaf), so she and her sister were born in early leaf-bare
- ↑ The image on the cover of A Clan in Need suggests it takes place in early newleaf
- ↑ The blurb reveals that Leafstar has been a leader for six moons
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Midnight mentions that it is late greenleaf. Note: most websites state that 12 moons have passed between The Darkest Hour and Midnight. However, The Darkest Hour ends in late leaf-bare and Midnight starts in late greenleaf, so obviously 18 moons have passed
- ↑ Chapter 2 of Moonrise mentions that it is around mid-leaf-fall
- ↑ Willowpaw is apprenticed in Sunset, so she was likely born in leaf-fall
- ↑ Chapter 6 of Dawn mentions that it is leaf-bare
- ↑ Chapter 10 of Starlight mentions that it is still leaf-bare
- ↑ The events in The Lost Warrior start when Graystripe is taken away in Dawn, and continue through several moons
- ↑ Chapter 2 of Twilight hints that it is early newleaf
- ↑ Chapter 11 of Sunset mentions that it is mid-newleaf
- ↑ From the imagery and events (e.g. corn harvest), the plot takes place in greenleaf, stretching into leaf-fall
- ↑ The Sight reveals that the Three were apprenticed in leaf-bare, on reaching apprentice age; so they were likely born in greenleaf. Leafpool started to look plump at the end of Sunset, hinting that she was already pregnant at that time, most likely after mating with Crowfeather before the badger attack in mid-newleaf, so the kits arrived in early greenleaf. Note that at one point in The Sight, it is stated that the kits were born in mid-leaf-bare, but that is likely an error - that would mean Leafpool mated with Crowfeather in leaf-fall (half a year after they broke up), and the kits would have been apprenticed in greenleaf
- ↑ He must be somewhat younger than the Three, as Crowfeather took Nightcloud as a mate only after breaking up with Leafpool.
- ↑ It is mentioned that After Sunset: We Need to Talk takes place during leaf-fall, two moons after Sunset (this is a contradiction, as Sunset took place in mid-newleaf, so the time delay is rather six moons instead of two)
- ↑ It is mentioned that Goldenflower died of old age between Sunset and The Sight
- ↑ It is revealed that Rainwhisker died between Sunset and The Sight, struck by a falling branch
- ↑ Chapter 1 of The Sight mentions that it is a harsh leaf-bare
- ↑ The plots of The Sight and Warrior's Return merge at this point
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Dark River mentions that it is early newleaf, a quarter moon after the end of leaf-bare
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Outcast hints that it is late newleaf
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Eclipse mentions that leaf-fall is near
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Long Shadows mentions that they are well into leaf-fall
- ↑ It takes place in leaf-bare, Lionblaze and Hollyleaf are warriors, but Jayfeather did not get his medicine cat name yet
- ↑ It is leaf-bare, Jayfeather is already a full medicine cat, and Leafpool is still a medicine cat
- ↑ The blurb of Sunrise mentions that it is a harsh leaf-bare
- ↑ Chapter 1 of The Fourth Apprentice mentions that it is a hot and dry greenleaf
- ↑ It was revealed in Fading Echoes that these RiverClan elders died in the drought
- ↑ Chapter 1 of Fading Echoes mentions that greenleaf has already passed
