Keepers and Kittens
Select rangers who remain in the colony’s base to attend to the upkeep of dens, watch after kittens, and so on.
The Keepers of Oak Colony will be the first to admit they are more comfortable working on their den building and crafts rather than ranging the tall cliffs of the Oak-lands. The forest
provides many useful materials to build with. Dustclaw and Gorseclaw take a lot of pride in the structure and tidiness of Oak Colony base.
There are always young kittens to watch over as well, but with how well fortified the base is, kittens can’t tend to get very far on their own, at least until they can climb the cliffs, and a kitten that can confidently climb cliffs is a kitten who will soon be leaving base-training and starting field-training, so Oak Colony’s Keepers encourage kittens to practice when they get old enough.
Oak’s current kittens are Redleaf and Stonestep’s most recent litter: Lilac, Orange, and Sand. Three inquisitive youngsters on the cusp of starting their base-training. They love to play pretend, as most kittens do, and are good with keeping each other entertained with their games.
“Captain Elmtail has told me that Oak Colony weaves thorns into the outer edge of their nursery. I would like us to do the same until the danger has passed. Keepers, see to it.”
(Captain Hawkshell, the Soaring Protector)
