FireClan Territory[/u]
FireClan Camp - Deep within the woods, in the heart of FireClan territory, lies a shady clearing, homey and warm for the FireClanners to rest their camp. All ceremonies, Clan meetings, and any other clan activities will be held here. Inside this sturdy, well protected clearing you will find the different dens, the Great Stump, and the Medicine Clearing.
- Leader's Den - A small yet warm cave just behind the Great Stump, the leader's den is where Icestar makes her Den. Private meetings are held here for privacy's sake.
- Warriors' Den- A large bush fruitful with leaves even in leaf-bare shelters the powerful warriors of FireClan as they slumber
- Medicine Clearing- A small clearing that lies beneath a low hanging shrub constitutes as the Medicine Clearing. Surrounded by ferns and brush, this clearing is warm and sheltered, and is up against a large stone that has many crevices and fizures perfect for storing herbs. The Medicine Cat makes her nest right up next to the stone.
- Apprentices' Den- A hollowed out tree stump is where the weary apprentices of FireClan may find rest and refuge at night.
- Elders' Den- The old and wizened warriors of FireClan find peace and quite in a large hollowed out log that lies right next to the Apprentices' den. This suggests that the two dens were once one tall tree. The Elders find warmth here, so that there aching bodies do not freeze in leaf-bare.
- Nursery- A thicket of brambles and thorns baracade the entrance to an underground clearing. A small fern tunnel leads into it, and it is padded on the sides with moss to keep the cold air out. Queens find rest and room enough to care for kits, without the risk of them running away!
The Forest- A huge forest of tall, looming oaks and thin birches tower over the ground, casting dark shadows across the forest floor. The vast expanse of trees harbors mostly squirrels, mice, forest rabbits, and birds.
- Prey- red and gray squirrels, wood mice, rabbits, finches, starlings, and jays
- Foliage- Oak, birch, pine, redwoods, elm, bushes(raspberry, deathberry, blueberry), Poppy's, marigold, thyme, burdock root
- Ideal Hunting places- You may find many squirrels and birds within the branches of the oak trees. Mice like to hide in the underbrush beneath birch and pine trees, and find burrows beneath the pine needles.
The Stream- A rushing stream of pure water runs through FireClan territory, offering cool water to drink and wash off your paws in. Water voles are found around here, as well as many herbs for the Medicine Cats.
- Prey- water voles, mice, gray squirrels, rabbits come here to drink
- Foliage- Watermint, shrubs, holly(Deathberries), marigold
Sandy Hollow- A large round sand hollow that is perfect for training lies in a clump of trees, providing shade on the hot days and shelter from the elements on the cold. A few roots tangle themselves up along the edges of the hollow
- Prey- sometimes a thrush or two, squirrels and wood mice sometimes venture into the bushes beside the hollow
- Foliage- shrubs, bushes, roots(burdock), oaks and elms
- Good training times- sunhigh, early in the morning. It gets very dark nearing the end of the day around the hollow, so night training might be a good idea at that tme
