SandClan

SandClan Camp 6 2
Move your tails, young'uns! by BeardedLady
Oct 23, 2014 6:17:19 GMT -5
The SandClan cats have found an area with little blowing sand, and finally have the makings of a camp. Grasses hold the sand in place around the edge of camp, and the center is bare, rocky soil. It doesn't have anything in the way of protection except for a few thorny shrubs, but the designated main entrance is to the southeast. Fresh-kill is left on a flat rock near the camp's center, and there are some other smaller rocks scattered around that are nice to relax on.

Near the border with GrassClan, plenty of grasses still remain, but are covered in a thick layer of sand. There is less sand closer to the border, and many small animals make their nests there.
Rocky Clearing 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Not too far northeast of the camp, where the ground is rockiest, there is a clearing where the ground is lower than the surrounding area. It is fairly flat and free of thorns and shrubbery, and many mentors bring their apprentices here for training.
Barren Woods 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Along the MarshClan border there is a good swatch of land where there are still sparse trees and shrubbery. The slightly moister ground means that plants and grasses are returning more quickly than in other areas. Most hunting is done here.
Blank Dunes 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
This area takes up most of SandClan's land and is very desert-like. All trees and large bushes have been removed, but grass is beginning to poke its way back through. The soil beneath the blowing sand is rocky, and even in the far future will probably not support much vegetation.

MarshClan

MarshClan Camp 5 1
maussse duuung young'ns by Leah
Aug 22, 2014 12:18:42 GMT -5
The cats of the marsh live on a bed of compressed dry cattails, on one of the higher pieces of ground. The high-growing cattails and reeds surrounding the camp hide it from view, with tunnels leading out to the Northeast and Southeast, and branches of surrounding trees stretch out to create a canopy. Prey is placed on a low stump in the center of camp.
Dry Plains 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
This area is not actually all that dry, but compared to the marshes everywhere else in the territory it is a bit rocky and not nearly as wet. A lot of hunting is done here, along the SandClan border, in the grasses and sparse trees.
Reedplace 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Around the stream nearest camp, reeds grow thickly, to the point where they cannot even be walked through in some places. They are brought back to camp frequently for the purpose of building dens. The areas where the reeds are not very thick and the stream itself are decent hunting spots.
Floodplace 1 1
Herb Searching by Osprey
Jun 23, 2014 22:17:32 GMT -5
Near the center of the territory, where the stream often floods over, the ground is very soft, often muddy, and covered in greenery. Herbs grow richly here, and the wide, silty stream can yield some fish.
Cross-stones 11 1
There's no way i'd ever regret this by Leah
Aug 22, 2014 12:54:10 GMT -5
An area in the far North of the territory full of odd abandoned Twoleg things, such as bridges, fences, criss-crossing stone thunderpaths, flat wood and stone pressed into the slopes and a broken string hanging from the trees. Herbs and catmint grow here, and cats will occasionally find old Twoleg objects.

PineClan

PineClan Camp 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
A messy, uneven clearing surrounded by thick bushes all around the edge. Some of these bushes have thorns and brambles and some don't. It's impossible to tell from the outside - this is the defense. From the inside, "paths" made from leaves and rocks mark the "safe" bushes. There are four entrances - one leading south, one leading west, one leading northwest, and one leading east. Fresh-kill goes on a small stump near the center of the camp.
Mossy Clearing 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Not too far south of camp is a small clearing padded with moss and dead needles. The part of the forest surrounding it is pretty good for hunting and the clearing itself is ideal for sparring sessions, so apprentices are often brought here to train.
Leafplace 5 1
Prey of a different sort | O P E N by BeardedLady
Jul 28, 2014 21:14:21 GMT -5
Near the MarshClan border, there are many deciduous trees mixed in with the pines, and there is more grass than in the rest of the territory. The ground here is moist, and many different herbs can be found. It isn't a bad hunting spot, either, but it can make some PineClanners a bit uneasy.
Littlerocks 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Not far from Fourbanks is a small stream. The area around it is known as Littlerocks for the smooth, colorful stones the stream springs from and runs over, all the way down to Fourbanks.
Deep Forest 15 1
We're not in Kansas anymore by Leah
Aug 22, 2014 12:32:37 GMT -5
Between camp and Twolegplace lies the thickest section of the pine forest. It is great for hunting and the trees are easy to climb, but there are a few rarely used twoleg paths and benches that the cats have to watch out for.

GrassClan

GrassClan Camp 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
GrassClan's camp is on top of a hill, mostly flattened grass with a few bushes. Overgrown brambles and tall grasses surround the edge of camp, with the sole entrance at the south carefully hidden and decoy entrances all around the edge to keep GrassClan safe from most attacks.
Sandy Banks 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Along the stream that separates SandClan's territory from GrassClan's, fine white sand has collected and blown in from the neighboring territory, covering the earth in a thick layer that thins out the further away from SandClan you go.

berries for the people, by the people by Snakeh
Aug 23, 2014 6:38:32 GMT -5
Just East of camp are several clumps of large blueberry bushes. They are well sheltered and bear fruit almost year-round, attracting many small animals and birds, so they make a great hunting spot. Larger predators come here sometimes, so cats must be wary.
Lush Plain 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
A beautiful expanse of green grass and flowers in the south-southeast portion of the territory. Though very flat, the grass grows tall and it is easy to get lost.There is one lonely, gnarled tree near the middle that serves as a great lookout point. Prey is often smelled before it is heard, and always heard before it is seen.
Shady Pines 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
The barrier between GrassClan and PineClan. The trees get smaller and smaller going on to the flat GrassClan territory. GrassClan does not tend to hunt around here, as they prefer the plains prey over forest prey. These trees also shelter PineClan from the wind off of the plains.

Here, the rivers that run through the land form a four-edged island between the four Clan territories. The Clans meet every full moon in a truce to discuss recent happenings, and at any other time all cats may pass safely.
The Mooncave 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
A cave just outside GrassClan's territory, the Mooncave is filled with shining stones. The Clans believe this is the closest they will ever be to their warrior ancestors.

Twolegplace

The picket-fenced backyards of Twoleg nests meet the edges of PineClan and GrassClan territory. This is where kittypets live.
The Alleys 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Deeper inside Twolegplace is a small town with many back alleys. Bullies often scramble for and squabble over territory. Heaven forbid a kittypet gets lost here, there's a good chance they might never come back.

The Outlands

Furthest Outskirts 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
This is the westernmost edge of the Outlands, somewhat like a rocky desert. The sharp stones make it painful to cross for any cat with soft pads, and it is dry as any rainwater will flow away quickly through the few tiny streams. There is little prey, with such sparse vegetation. Most rogues prefer to stay away, but those that do live here get lots of land to themselves.
The Cliffs 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
Between the low ground of the Oasis and the high Furthest Outskirts is a very dangerous patch of land. The rough stone cliffs are extremely hazardous, especially after rain. The tunnels can be used for shelter, but some close to the surface pose a risk of cave-ins. Boulders are scattered everywhere, balanced precariously over crevices and sheer drops.
Oasis 0 0
No posts have been made on this board as of yet.
On the eastern edge of the Outlands is the large stream that separates free land from Clan territory. Since there is so much water here, plants grow fast and there are many types of prey. There is a thick band of forest near the river, and a lot less stones than the rest of the Outlands. There's one huge tree that reaches out above the rest, and is a good lookout point for rogues on the run.
