River Colony is near to bursting with New-Claws in need of training! Good thing there is a large and robust group of Mentors to see to the task! It is typically the job of the Mentors to have a wide wealth of knowledge concerning all subjects an adult cat needs to know to be a good Ranger: Hunting techniques, best places to scout for materials, watching the weather, battle techniques, and so on. And these Mentors pass that information among each other so that knowledge isn’t lost. Cooperation between Mentors is key.
The Mentors of the River-lands have had their share of disagreements, however. Rapidsnap being the eldest Mentor has the most knowledge and authority, but she has been swayed by Rainfall’s opinion that training should be happening quicker and with more emphasis on obedience, personal responsibility, and results. Ferneyes, Cherryrill, Mistyclaw, and Swiftmask have little choice but to follow her lead, but with the amount of New-Claws to train, the result of this has been a young generation of cats that are rowdy and all fighting each other to be the best.
Most of the New-Claws aspire to be cool and in control like their dear Captain, and the Mentors have to find a way to work around that, for their own sake as well as theirs.
