Stoneclan

Camp

Stoneclan has their camp in a rift in the ground. The ancient settlers who lived there first built strong dens into the stone, and connnected them with bridge like structures hanging above the deep gap. There are also small ridges in the stone walls, which lead downwards into the main part of the camp where the leaders of the clan hold their clanmeetings.

The warriors sleep in the first hole in the wall, while the queens have their den on the ground of the rift.

The dens are mostly warmed with feathers, sheepwool, and the pelts of kill, like rabbits, hares, and sometimes foxes.

On all of the walls there are claw marks of long forgotten ancestors, and the ancient settlers.

Main territory

Stoneclan lives in a tundra, with light summers and dry winters. Because they live the furthest from the other clans they rarely face any problems on the borders, but fresh kill can be sparse.

North of the territory is the shore, where experienced hunters may find fish, but can encounter bears, lion seals and elephant seals.

On the west side is the most mountainous area. Tall Mountains grow into the sky, where the territory borders Skyclan, and shelter Stoneclan from any other threats. Some thin, nearly banished trails lead through those Mountains, as they are the Route the ancient settlers took when they first arrived.

Kill and potential threats

Besides the threats at the coast there are also elks and moose that roam the tundra, another threat would be snow leopards, but those rarely come close to the camp. Many moons ago there we're also twolegs, but one day, they vanished without a trace.

The hunters of stoneclan mostly find Whitefisch, Graylings, Salmon, Hares or Stouts, more rarely birds Like Buntings or Kittiwake.

Firclan

Camp

Firclans Camp is settled in a clearing, surrounded by tall Fir trees. Their dens are built from fallen trees and sticks, warmed by pelts, and a system of tunnels that have been there since long before any cat remembers. Through these tunnels flows hot water from the caves of the tallest mountain, warming the dens even in the coldest leafbare.

Main territory

The hilly territory is covered in a deep forest, with some small rivers running through it. It can get chilly here, from the winds which travel down from the Mountains. Winters often harsh, summers mild.

Kill and potential threats

The cats can find all kinds of prey here, but they mostly hunt hares, squirrels, hedgehogs, and young salmon from the river.

Firclan does not hunt birds, as these are important allies to them, when it comes to spying out the other clans. They also don't hunt the ermines which live in the forest, often even inviting them to the clan.

Potential threats ranges from boars, to moose, bears and sometimes lynxes. Though with lynxes, there are some tellings of motherless lynxes being raised by Firclan Queens.

Skyclan

Camp

Skyclans Camp is right on top of a mountain. This place is one reason, why this group of cats believes they are closest to Starclan. The cats of Skyclan all sleep together in a big cave underneath the camp. There are no secluded dens like in the other clans, but the cave is big enough to either sleep by yourself, or together with the rest of the clan.

The main sleepin area is right in the middle of the cave, sheltered by large purple crystals.

The only real secluded area is a smaller part of the cave, behind stalagmites, where the healer keeps the clans herbs.

Meetings are either held underneath the tallest crystal, or outside.

Main territory

Skyclans territory is the one furthest up in the north. They can roam further up, however long they want, but usually don't. While most of it is mountainous area, with harsh winds and a cold climate, it's also one of the safest territories. The southern border is protected by the Sharpstones, tall stones, no cat really dares to stray to close to, and their only other neighbours are Stoneclan, who keep to themselves anyways.

Kill and potential threats

Prey consists in anything the cats can find and kill. Usually that means larger birds, and maybe mice, sometimes even small foxes, or bats. Though, when they send large hunting groups to the more forrested part of the territory, all the way down the west side of the mountain, prey ranges from birds, to squirrels, mice and hares.

Bears, lynxes and birds of prey can pose a threat to the cats.

Brookclan

Camp

The camp is situated right in the middle of the territory, on an isle surrounded by a river.

- Healers Den: Surrounded by reed in a cave, forming a burrow made from clay and peat.

- Queens Den: Right next to it, built the same, but reinforced with branches.

- Warriors Den: further down, where the sand meets the river in a stonewall. Nests are made out of feathers.

- Elders Den: Also made out of Clay, right next to the Apprentice Den which also is in the stonewall.

- Prey is stored in a gap in the wall.

- Extra den for the ill, in a washed up tree.

- Sunplace right in the middle of the camp, with one tall rock where the Leader holds gatherings.

- Reached either by swimming there, or through a secret tunnel, reinforced with clay and sticks, actually pretty spacious.

Main Territory

Brookclans territory is settled right in the middle of the five clans, spreading a bit between Fernclan and Firclan.

North reaches up until the Sharpstones, bordering Skyclan territory. Mostly consists of mixed forest, growing sparser the further you go north.

The North-East borders Stoneclan, the further you go, the more the forest turns into the tundra where Stoneclan lives. The tall Oak is at the border, which is an important point for the history of the clans.

Fernclan lives on their South Border, a river markin it. These cats life in a luscious forest.

The rest of the territory mostly is made up of gentle hills with dense forest, behind the Moonlightcave, where Healers and Leaders go, and the hill where the clan gatherings are hold is where Brookclan borders with Firclan.

The lonely willow is another important place for Brookclans History, it being situated on an isle further down the river.

Kill and potential threats

Kill consists of blackbirds, squirrels and mice from the mainland, but mostly fish from the river.

Besides the cats theres also deer, foxes, badgers, and occasionally wolves in Brookclans territory. There's also Mountain Goats at Skyclans border.

Fernclan

Camp

Fernclan has its camp behind a stream, surrounded by a large rock formation, sheltering the camp on all sides. The dens are made from sticks and rocks, and are covered by Fernleafs.

The healers den is inside a hollow fern bush, at the side of the rocks, acting as an entry and sleeping space for the healer, while the overhang of the rock gives ill cats a place to sleep, a small shelf of stones at the far back of the den.

The leader sleeps in a small cave above the Tallstone, from where Ceremonies and Clangatherings are hold. Underneath it is another den, in a half cave reinforced on both sides with Fernleafs.

Freshkill is gathered next to the elders den, in a small hole, covered with more ferns.

Main territory

Fernclan lives in a luscious forest, with beautiful scenery. Tall trees grow here, which are covered in moss. Ferns, tall grasses and stones / rocks crowd the ground. The territory is warmer than most of the others, and gives a near perfect place to live in.

Kill and potential threats

Though it is beautiful, kill can be sparse. There are not a lot of rodents here, and most birds live high in the trees. So these cats had to adapt and start hunting reptiles instead. Sometimes even insects or large spiders.

Fernclan has less threats than the other clans, but often have to endure long periods of hunger. The presence of venomous snakes also poses a threat.
