Fire Mountain Well it is pretty much more or less straight forward. Fire Mountain is the name that was passed down by the elders of each clan remembering a time long ago when the Clans first started that the mountain had erupted fire, which of course why they called it Fire Mountain. Every apprentice has to at least travel there once before becoming a Warrior, most of the time it would just be the Leaders of each clan and their Medicine cats. Inside of Fire Mountain, there is a cave that glows from the lava it is very distinctive and easy to find and most Leaders would remember their first experience there for the rest of their lives when they first became a Leader. There are lots of stories that revolve around the place, apprentices and cubs are usually the ones who love hearing about the mountain and often dream about going there.

Healing Springs These are springs that are very sacred place to all Medicine cats. Mess with it and you will have the wrath of the only cat that could save your life and StarClan. It is very close to Fire Mountain and that is usually the place that most cats look for when they are traveling to Fire Mountain knowing that it would be extremely close by then. The Healing springs are used most often by the Medicine cats. It is a sacred place of healing. Around the springs rare herbs grow, and you can bathe a sick cat there to clean them of a sickness. It is not guaranteed to clear the sickness completely but is used as a last hope, and will give comfort to the cat, allowing Starclan to take them if they are too sick to continue. Sometimes it is a place for the sinned cats to pray forgiveness. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama

Four Cliffs This is the place where gatherings are held every full moon. All clans should be in peace there and any agitation will more than likely bring on the wrath of StarClan. There are four very tall cliffs that each leader goes to when the meeting starts. In the middle is a great clearing that has been beaten down with paws for ages, where Clan cats can meet each other as friends and share stories or brag about their accomplishments of late. It is in the center of all the Clan's territories, each cat crossing over in their own way. Each cliff of Four Cliffs goes to a different clan, the Northeast cliff going to the LionClan, the Northwest going to the LeopardClan, the Southwest going to the Jaguar clan, and the Southeast going to the TigerClan.

Path To Fire Mountain Here is where you would post you're board if you are traveling towards Fire Mountain, here is a place that all clans can post. The party that is traveling towards Fire Mountain, and if that clan has to go through another cat's territory than that Clan's border patrol can pop inside and ask where they are going and such. This board is pretty straight-forward, and there really shouldn't be any kind of fighting on here since the path there says safe passage to all who wish to go there.

Tigerclan Territory
Tigerclan Camp Their camp is near a mountain waterfall which ends in a small lake. Under the waterfall is the Medicine cat's cave, with a variety of herbs and in the far end of it, so as they are not harmed by water. All around this mini lake are small caves where the tigers keep shelter. The nursery is right next to the medicine cats den, underground and camouflaged by twigs and leaves. To the left of the waterfall is the apprentices den, which is a smaller cave, though cozy with a small opening that does not allow the cold breezes in. When room runs out, apprentices often get to take to the warriors den instead. Warriors den is to the right of the waterfall, much larger. Over the years it has been expanded, being made so it goes somewhat underneath the rock boundaries of it's den. The underground part has bits of rock down to cement the bottom and ensures that it would not be flooded. The elders and leaders have their dens in two smaller caves inside the mountain which the water falls from, both under thick camouflage from the tall grass around it Moderator: Kuroneko_Sama
Bear Mountain Bear moutain is often looming over all over their territory, though most of the time it's covered up by clouds. There are rumors around that if you finally get to the top you will meet with one of your Starclan ancestors, but that is just a rumor since well no cat has enough time to go and go to the top since well it would take just about as long as it does to go to Fire Mountain to reach the top, and then again it might take longer. The mountain has a sort of large population of bears, sometimes they come down toward the mountain, trying to find some prey as they are both meat-eaters and vegetarians. They sometimes break find some cubs and end up killing them off but that usually doesn't happen because most of the clan cats could scent the beast by then. A lot of apprentices always want to go there and hunt a bear to show their loyalty but more times than not this mountain is left alone for its higher peaks. Moderator: Kuroneko_Sama

Mountain Range Most of the Tigerclan territory is filled with mountains. There are the small lower round mountains, or rather hills around the camp that a lot of the time a Queen will take her kits to the top to see some of the territory since most of their view inside of the camp is just the bottom of mountains. Then as you go more north you get sharper mountains that are harder to climb, though are usually abundant with prey. The hills and lower mountains usually are covered with trees so it makes it easy to camouflage into the background if you're not a white tiger. Though the mountains around Bear Mountain are a lot higher and do have a tree line where trees stop growing. Often times there are just goats or sheep live up there that tigers usually don't even bother trying to get since it's a lot harder and causes a lot more effort than just getting usual prey. The largest mountain inside of Tigerclan's territory, you can see it from every part of the land. Moderator: Kuroneko_Sama

Bear Creek It as well is shared with the bears, though most of the time they only see the bears during the autumn season when they hunt for fish. The rest of the time it's very rare to see any bears around there, you can find some tigers fishing there if they want to most of the time just taking a bath or something. The creek is the main place that feeds the Tigerclan waterfall; you can follow the creek over to the river that is the border between Lionclan and Tigerclan, leading up to the lake that they usually cross to go over to Four Cliffs. It's a good place to find prey that is drinking there so often it is a favorite hunting spot for the Tigers. You can usually find more than one cat there trying to find some prey to feed the clan.

Tigerclan Border This is the just random places at the borders that you can make up threads at. It doesn't matter where. You could run it along the Hyena border or towards the Jaguarclan border which is well from the marshlands, to the forest, to cobra plains. Most Tigers tend to not go over to their side because well of all the hazards over there, the marshland and cobra plains are pretty much things they aren't used to their only safe passage would be the forest and that most of the time is probably guarded by the Jaguar patrol. Then there is the river that basically cuts off both Lionclan and Jaguarclan up there, they don't really expect Lionclan to really ever invade their lands since they aren't really cats that like to get wet. They do patrol it, however. The most patrolled area would probably be their large border they have with the Hyenas which is unprotected by anything they have. Moderator: Kuroneko_Sama
Eagle Nest Eagle nest is a well a nest. It's on the neighbor mountain of Bear mountain. Most of the time the Tigers just leave them alone following them sometimes to find prey but because they have such small prey and they themselves are only big enough to feed a growing cub they often leave them alone. And as well since their nests are usually very high in the mountains and on a VERY high tree they don't even bother trying to see what they are up too, because more times than not they'll get pecked away by their sharp beaks and talons. Sometimes a few tigers will head over that way or an apprentice or two but I just hope for the sake of you that they aren't in nesting season or prepare to have you're head rattled!

Grass Fields The grass fields aren't really tall grass at all. They are just grass fields with very very short grass that is really only good for taking out young apprentices and cubs to hunt for there is usually very little prey out there though sometimes you might catch something out there that is big. It is what else that is inside of Tigerclan besides the water and the mountains, it surrounds the mountain plains and most of the Tigerclan camp. It makes for a good battlefield because since Tigers blend in so nicely, and it's easy to find your prey or your enemy really easily. Most often you'll find a mentor out with his apprentice or a queen out with her cubs letting them try at small stuff teaching them the basic moves and things like that. Moderator: Kuroneko_Sama

LeopardClan Territory
LeopardClan Camp LeopardClan's camp is in the densest forest of their territory, with the tallest trees, close enough together so that their branches come together in a snarl, almost like a brown blanket in the air for them to rest and eat on. A tree whose branch goes far above the rest is where the leader stands, so she can see all the other cats faces and get their attention easier from above. The Leaders den is up there as well, made of thickly woven branches and covered with leaves. The warrior den, apprentice den, elders den, as well as the medicine cats' den is all high up in the tree canopy. They are made mostly from leaves and twigs that were brought up long ago to weave together and make shelter, which by now has been woven even more into a thick, comfortable den. The Warriors den lies in the center of the branched clearing, while the rest of the dens are close to each other, bordering the camp. Everything is clothed in leaves to conceal the light and predators eyes. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Jasmine
The Forest The forest in LeopardClan is dense, but not so much that it is impossible to hunt in. Without the forest, leopards would have no shelter. Everything is green there, the canopy goes very high up, and plenty of interesting creatures exist there. There are trees older than the ages of all the cats put together. The forest take up most of the clans territory, so most wandering, exploring, training, and such goes on here. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

Barelands There is not so much to say for the barelands. You do have to pass it to get to FireMountain and the Healing Springs . Aside from this, it is basically a mass of bare land. Dust storms occur occasionally because of how little vegetation there is to hold the earth in place. Closer toward the green forest, though, there may be deer and such about for the leopards to hunt. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

Watering hole/ stream The leopard's source of water, daily visits are taken toward the watering hole. It's almost like an oasis, and is a hang out spot for some of the leopards, especially the apprentices. Much prey may be found here too, since leopards aren't the only ones that need water. The stream is used mostly for travels to FireMountain. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

LeopardClan borders Aside from the area near FireMountain, Leopardclan patrols watch their border daily. There is no lake or mountain that separates their land, and makes them more vulnerable to attack. However, the leopards avoid patrolling near the forbidden cavern. Otherwise, everything is searched and marked. Not much scenery around the borders, though the patrols aren't too bad. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

Foribidden Cavern This place is an old haunt for all of Leopardclan. Cats have gone there and not come back, the first one vanishing when ordered to patrol there. Since then no cat dares to come near. It is a mysterious place, said to be full of evil. However, the cats believe the cavern keeps the evil away. The cats try not to get too paranoid about it, though foolish apprentices may be dared to go there. An incident like this once happened, and now made the cavern out of bounds for every cat. It's quite a harmless looking cavern from a distance, though. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

Mountain Hills There are several mountainous hills at the border between LeopardClan and LionClan which can sometimes be good places for hunting. It is one of the spots that LionClan and LeopardClan have been battling to keep for some time. The hills are quite open, with fewer trees and some deer hanging out at the bottom, while as it gets steeper you might find some different specimens. Not tall enough for snow, but still tall enough and big enough to fight for. Moderator: Ultimate Cat Mistress

JaguarClan Territory
JaguarClan Camp The leader addresses their Clan from the center of the undergrowth clearing, only a small hill to represent it. However, in this hill is also a cave which is, naturally, the leaders den. To the left of this hill is a spot where the brush is tangles thickly together into an almost inpenetrable cave, where the nursery is. Next to the nursery is the medicine cats den, which is more like an underground cave, surrounded by rock. On the other side of the clearing the land rises steeply to indicate the edge of the camp. At this steep rise, more dens are, either made by an ancient stream or perhaps by a Jaguars own paws. Strengthened by rock to make sure it does not cave in and dug deep into the earth to ensure enough room for all warriors, it has been there for as long as any cat can remember. The apprentices den is similiar to the nursery, except less impenetrable. As for the elders den, it is next to the warriors den, built in the same fashion. Fresh kill pile is opposite the entrance to the leaders den, piled behind the miniature hill. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky
Cobra Plains A dry, almost desert-like area borders Jaguarclan with the Hyena boundary. It is populated by cobras. Jaguars avoid it, though some of them may hunt a cobra to prove their skill in hunting, as it is quite a gift to be able to kill a cobra. Tigers will never invade from the Cobra Plains; in fact all other clans are afraid of this area of land. The ground is a reddish tint and even the air tastes thick with particles of dust and less real air to breathe. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

Marshlands The marshes are a bit of a hangout spot for jaguars, as it is moist with fresh air and plenty to hunt. The trees here are small, sticking out of mini ponds that get larger as you approach the river. There is plenty of moss here to line a she-cats nest. Jaguars must step carefully, in case they slip on a particularly wet area and are submerged in a surprisingly deep pond. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky
Dark Forest The dark forest, its name is its description, really. It is a deeply shaded forest, full of creepy crawlies. However, it's another decent hunting spot, as long as you come there during the day when it isn't so dark. It's also part of the border between JaguarClan and TigerClan. Trees here grow tall and thick, their canopy's blocking out much of the light. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

River/Steam The River that runs through JaguarClan territory is the one the jaguars must cross on what one might regard a daily basis. Jaguars don't mind swimming, so they have no problem crossing the river to look for more prey. It's also a source of water, a good one at that. Some Jaguars will stay by here in hopes of catching a turtle to crunch on. The river runs straight through Jaguarclan territory, into LeopardClan territory. Branching from the river is a stream, which jaguars must cross as well to reach the Gathering. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

JaguarClan Borders Jaguarclan borders LeopardClan, the area of special places, the Hyena boundary, and TigerClan. Because of this, Jaguars have a lot of borders to patrol. Most of their patrolling requires entering the Cobra Plains and the Dark Forest, not particularly pleasant places to travel in. However, for their clan a cat will do all they can. Post here if you're on border patrol, and get ready for a long hike. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

Dry Fields For the larger prey, Jaguars hunt here. It is the only truly open area of their land, where deer and such may sometimes be found. The grass is tall enough for camouflage, which makes this spot also quite desirable for hunting. Aside from this, the fields are dry and not much of interest will be found, after a while of staying here a cat will get pretty thirsty and will want to return. A cub may be in danger of getting lost here, though most older cats can see their way out. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

LionClan Territory
Lionclan Camp There are several dens, a few going underground due to the absence of rock. It saves LionClan from some of the worse heat. The leader addresses their Clan from the tallest rock, near a old and shriveled tree. That same rock is the Leaders den, with a crack in it, just enough room for the cat to sleep in. The medicine cats den looks just like the Leaders, except for the fact that it's entrance is actually a tunnel woven out of branches, and then the crack in the rock is where the herb cave begins. The nursery is entirely underground, the entrance hidden by a particularly large patch of tall grass. Underground, it is outlined with rocks to make sure nothing caves in. Back above ground, the Warriors and Apprentices each have their own den, stone and all. They are next to eachother, opposite the Ancient Ash and nursery. One of the reasons this area was picked as the camp was due to the lucky fact of having so many caves near eachother. Elders den is merged with the nursery, though there are two exits, so as to minimize traffic. The Fresh Kill pile is made near the old and ancient tree, also called the Ancient Ash. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky
LionClan Borders This is Lionclan's border lines. It just runs along the edges of Tigerclan and Leopard clan, their land not even near to Jaguar Clan so fear of that specific clan invading them is very small. There is the river that is the main line that starts Tigerclan territory. There are patrols there that look over to make sure that TigerClan doesn't try and take their grassland territory for their own. Then there is that small border of the Hyena territory that is a very heavily patrolled area to make sure that those specific beasts don't try and cross over and take prey from their Deer Meadows. Then there is the forest that separates LeopardClan and LionClan, the Forbidden Cavern is also very close to the border between LeopardClan and LionClan though it's off limits to lions really, for they had also heard the tales of disappearing cats around there.

Deer Meadows One of the favorite places that LionClan hunts at. There always seems to be prey there even during leaf-bare though not that much and probably is just tough stringy meat but its still food. It is a place that does have short grass especially compared to the grasslands near by. The meadows aren't that far away from the LionClan camp and most of the time you can see Mentors taking out their apprentices to do stalking there on little prey and the basic moves. When a hunting party goes out it is more than likely that this is the place that most lions go to check first. The place is usually filled with herds, though in order to avoid a stampede and letting their prey go over to their rival's territory they usually attack from the river side so they don't go over towards Tigerclan's land.

Sand Dunes The Sand dunes are way off inside of the Lionclan border, that type of land being the only kind inside of all of the Clan's territory. It is actually pretty much a large expanse of land that is mainly sand, it's a desert land that most cats tend to stay away from there because it's so dry that it causes even a lion to have hallucinations of what is there. Though there is always the occasional apprentice that is like he can do anything and wants to go there and prove that he could go there and back. Most of the time it just shows the apprentice a major lesson in what not to do next time and him so sandy that it would take a week for all the grains to get outside of his pelt unless he jumped inside of the lake. There is little prey there so the Lions don't really go there. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

Lake Since the river really all belongs to Tigerclan they get their water from the Lake. There isn't really a place that takes up rain water inside of Lionclan's camp. So for the queens they usually try either to fill up a large leaf of water or get some large patches of moss to soak it up and give it to the queen if she still cannot leave her litter yet. Since it is really the only water supply inside of the Lionclan territory it is also a nice place to hunt. Lions aren't really the type of cat to like water too much unless they are chasing after some prey so you usually only find them on the edges. Since lions are usually such social animals that they come in numbers to the lake rather than just one cat at a time. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

Grasslands The grasslands, the grass here is very tall and a absolutely wonderful place to hunt. The grass is so tall that it would probably come up to a tall Twolegs middle in height. Lions camouflage perfectly into the grass here the only time that you would be able to tell that one was coming would be maybe if you were watching the grass very carefully and see them part to it's body. Though queens have a great fear of the place for their cubs, for once they enter the place usually by the time they find the cub; he or she is already dead by another predator or died from starvation. But often more times than not if a cub did manage to wander away from it's mother towards the grasslands they are never found again. Moderators: Ultimate Cat Mistress, Kuroneko_Sama, Jabberwocky

Ancient Ash The ancient tree is inside of the LionClan Camp. The tree is barely alive, most saying that it is just a dead tree inside. But most elders and the Leader of LionClan take it as a symbol of how long Lionclan had been around taking it in as a sacred sign and never really doing anything to harm it. Most of the time you can find cubs playing around near that area, or some elders that come by as well. Near the Ancient Ash is also a place where you could eat your fresh-kill in peace and not be bothered by other cats if you want to be alone for the time being.
