It seems the ThunderClan leader has finally snapped. All those days missing from camp were spent divising at attack strategy with Cranefeather, and the two have launched a full scale invasion on ShadowClan territory. They can only hope StarClan choose their newest medicine cat wisely as the coming leaf-fall brings tales of war.
Riverstar's kits are almost old enough to be apprenticed, but times are not happy in the Clan. They have joined ThunderClan in their invasion of ShadowClan territory, and many fear for the Clans safety. Cranefeather has become increasingly aggressive and secretive, and many wonder what he is hiding...
WindClan is torn on what to do about ShadowClan. Most of the Clan is in heavy support ShadowClan, but they must also be wary of such an obvious act of defiance against Thunder/RiverClan's reign. However, with StarClan on their side, they hope they can continue preparing their apprentices, as well as assigning new ones.
ShadowClan is in this seasons spotlight, being the first to feel the effects of this epic war. Though they do not know exact numbers, casualties are heavy; Skyfire and Thornpaw are sure to be busy these coming moons, as well as the warrior who must repair the damages and step up in their training and patrols.

ThunderClan Camp (8 sub-boards) ThunderClan camp is situated at the foot of a dry, sandy ravine and sheltered by thornbushes, which makes it hard to attack and easy to defend. The entrance is well hidden and was formed from an ancient river, as was the Highrock inside. Tall ferns and trees keep the birds of prey out while still allowing the sun in. Near the ravine is a small spring, which is a perfect water source, close and accessable. ThunderClan cats are known best for their fierceness and bravery, and they have a stronger build than most of the other clan cats. They are respectful to other clans, but are not afraid to speak they're mind and challenge the warrior code. Moderators: Eagleh, xx snakey
Sandy Hollow This hollow lies in the midst of overgrowing oak and rowan trees. The ground is lightly covered with brown sand, making it an ideal place to train young apprentices. Many of the warriors do train their apprentices here in battle training, though not much prey can be found right nearby. The trees filetr the sunlight, but there is always enough light in the hollow. It slopes upwards on the sides, and there are berry bushes where cats can easily hide if threatened. A small stream runs by the hollow, but the ice isn't very thick in the winter.

Snake Rocks The Snake Rocks are aptly named, for there is an abundance of poisonous snakes- mostly adders- that live here. This isn't an ideal place to train young apprentices, but if you're lucky, you may find something to eat here. The rocks are granite, and they slope upwards. The summit isn't too high, but it's still a good vantage point if you're on the lookout. Trees such as elms and maples grow around here, sheltering all but the center of the rocks from the harsh reality of the elements. Moderators: Eagleh, xx snakey

Sunningrocks These rocks are long slabs of rough granite that has been gently worn down by the tide of the river. Now they're actually quite smooth and warm. Covered by lichen, these rocks are a prime hunting spot. They are often disputed over by RiverClan and ThunderClan. Voles, mice and fish can be caught here. Towering oaks line the edges of these rocks, sharing their shade with the forest creatures. Cats also go here just to relax and sun themselves in the nice, warm sun. Moderator: Eagleh

Woods (2 sub-boards) The woods make up the largest part of ThunderClan territory. They're filled with all the trees imaginable, whether they be birches and poplars or oaks and rowans. A lot of small animals can be caught here, though mostly mice, voles and rabbits. The occasional bird, such as a starling or a pigeon, can also be captured. The leafy canopy is not that thick, so the ThunderClan cats still get a lot of sunlight. The forest is carpeted with soft grass, so for them, it is easy to step without making a sound.

RiverClan Camp The RiverClan camp is an island situated in the middle of the river which gives the clan its name. This island is surrounded by reeds and its location makes it fairly easy to defend because invading clans are forced to attack from the water. Stepping stones provide slightly easier access for cats, particularly during winter months where dropping into the freezing river can mean death. However, after a heavy rain, the stepping stones - and the RiverClan camp - are often underwater. RiverClan has had a history of being forced to evacuate in heavy storms. As RiverClan primarily hunts fish, it is not difficult to hunt directly from camp. RiverClan dens are either structures of mud and reeds, as with the warrior and apprentice dens, or hollows made in thick clumps of reeds, as with all other dens. Moderators: Eagleh, Silver
River The river is long and lazy, winding between ThunderClan and RiverClan with ease. It's not too wide, but it would still soak the bellies of those who dared cross it. Beeches and willows grow along the edges, overhanging the cold water. Further down are stepping stones, but RiverClan cats don't need them. Expert swimmers, they use the river to catch fish such as salmon and pike. The trees shelter voles and mice which wander all too often into the claws of a hunting cat. The banks are line with mud and tall green and yellow reeds. The bottom of the river is sandy in parts, while quite rough and jagged in others. In some places, the river is deep, while in others, it's easy to cross if you know what you're doing. It proves a good border, easily keeping out ThunderClan cats who are hesitant to get their feet wet. Though the river is generally cold- good for a dip in greenleaf- it can occasionally be warm.
The Gorge A huge gorge marks the RiverClan border with WindClan. There is a brief transition between reedy marshes and open, grassy mores before this gorge. The land becomes drier and rather rocky. This gorge is dangerous, and at the bottom is a swiftly flowing branch of the river. Even the strongest RiverClan swimmer would be easily swept away. The gorge splits the land until fairly close to Fourtrees, where it narrows out and becomes shallower, and the source of this water - a spring bubbling out between two rocks and then falling down the length of the gorge - is visible. The gorge is impassable unless a cat wishes to completely go around it by way of Fourtrees. Invaders from the WindClan side are fairly thoroughly blocked out, and RiverClan cats can easily guard the several foxlengths between the gorge's end and Fourtrees.
Woods Near the border with ThunderClan, the river curves and begins to flow through a territory spotted with trees. The trees of it are not thick enough to really be called woodland or forest, but they do provide a cover, a shade, in the hot summer weather. Mossy rocks, bark, grass, and fallen leaves line the floor of this area, and it is soft and comfortable. Next to the river, the air is cool. There is much land prey to be found here, though RiverClan does not often use it. Mice hide in the shelter of rocks, thrushes trill from the branches of trees - maple, oak, and beech, among others. The RiverClan Wood, as it is often called, is a comfortable place, peaceful and beautiful. At night, the gleaming stars can be seen in the gaps between leaves.
ShadowClan Camp (7 sub-boards) Settled in between a large depression of pine trees, ShadowClan camp lays. Ferns and other shrubbery keep it hidden within their leaves, making it immune to most predators, which is why ShadowClan doesn't have main predators settling on their land. A large tunnel made out of brush and vines leads to the outside of ShadowClan, where any cat could be protected, but only for a while. The pine trees cover most cats who decide to leave camp, shedding the aroma of pine needles. Dark dirt mostly is the ground for the ShadowClanners, however, grass can be found in large quantities in the summertime. Most of the homes for the ShadowClan cats are in caves, burrows underground, or even in decayed tree trunks. Because of the trees, in the winter time most cats don't have to fret about snow plummeting straight into their camp, rather snow in small sections in the center of camp. Probably their most clear concern would be twolegs, because their nesting grounds are not as distanced as they come to realize it.
Fern Clearing Named because of its abundance in ferns, the clearing is a large place veiled by pine trees. A small pond lies nearby, but is too small to have any prey. However, the woods are popular for hunting, and crows, starling, and vole can be seen commonly. The surface underground is mostly dirt and grass. It is keenly used as a hunting spot, for its wide range of sources for training. It also is convenient because its located not too far from the borders, so its easier to show apprentices the boundaries without having to travel a long way. The only downside about the clearing and forest is that if any predator attacks, you wouldn't be able to run for a long distance or dodge all of the pine trees that stand in the way until camp is reached. Luckily, predators are very rarely seen here. Almost never.
Marsh The marsh is always wet and never seems to dry up, it covers little less than Half of ShadowClan territory. This is a good place to hunt for frogs and water snakes. It's extremely muddy and it takes forever to clean your fur after coming here. This is why most ShadowClan cats try to stay away from here as much as they can. The water here is to thick with mud to drink and can make you very sick. There are sometimes soft spots in the mud which may sink and cave in. Shadowclan apprentices are traditionally taught of these spots so that they know how to avoid them. The reeds of this marsh are tall enough to obscure a cat completely, and they allow for excellent ambushes - both for and against ShadowClan. However, the cats of ShadowClan are very accustomed to such terrain and have become experts in reading the slightest twitch of a reed, the faintest rustling. The cats of the clan also may catch frogs and small marsh sparrows and wrens in these marshy areas. Occasionally they will find straying rodents as well. Moderator: Eagleh

Pine Woodlands Many pine trees are scattered about through the pine woodlands, as well as dirt and the common grass sprouting up from the ground. Any cat could get lost in this maze of pines, but it's easy if you know your way. Crows, voles, squirrels, mice, and magpie are the common creatures that reside in these woods. The woodlands are a main resource for hunting, and have water sources spread throught the territory, although some are algae invested, or just dried up patches of foul water. Patrolling is also good to be done here, since the woodlands are the closest to the border.
WindClan Camp (2 sub-boards) WindClan camp is situated within a steep hill, and the high walls provide shelter from most weather, and predators. Tall grass, brush, and shrubbery provide a form of confinement. However, it is easy for any living cat to slip away because of the fern tunnel that leads to bare valley uplands. To their advantage, an old, decayed willow tree sits just above camp. It's long, thick branches provide a canopy from most birds and such looking for easy prey. Most cats dig tunnels for their nests, others use the dug out caves or cragged hillsides as a form of security and shelter. WindClanners are agile and lean, and are best known for their hunting skills on the vast moors that make up the outskirts of WindClan.
The Old Tree Standing in the middle of the plains is a gnarled old tree. It is below a slight rise in the open moor, giving it a little bit of shade from the sun. The tree is an oak, but so twisted that it is barely recognizable. Around it is a ring of sand, soft and harmless. Warriors bring their apprentices here to train, and it is also a good place to hunt for small animals that have taken shelter behind the tree. The tree has been here for as long as the Clans came remember. Not even the elders say differently. Moderator: Eagleh

Yellow Plains Yellow Plains A vast part of WindClanare its Yellow Plains, which stretch clear across to the end of WindClan. Grass, brush, and few boulders make up the plains. Prey can be found hidden in the tall grasses, or even under boulders. Dried up patches of once water sources are also found here, so be careful not to paw them, because you may just sink your paws into the soggy remnants. The Yellow Plains is used mainly for patrolling and hunting, but once you reach the highlands, the wind picks up to where it might be harder to catch such easy prey. Because of its few trees, and also because of the highland winds, animals seek no shelter here. But because of the tall grasses, rabbits and crows like to find food here, knowing that for a while they won't be spotted by upcoming predators; little do they know, WindClan cats are more clever than they think, and in no time the cats will be swishing their tails with delight, clasping a rabbit in their jaws.
Hidden Pond Down a gentle incline in the plains is a small pond. It is hidden on one side because of the incline and the other because there is a larger cliff there. The cliff trail is littered with pebbles and loose boulders, making it very dangerous. The pond itself is barely visible from far away. The war is cool and deep, though not too deep. The pond is a relief for tired and thirsty cats. Tall beechs provide relief from the sun in Greenleaf and from the snow in Leafbare. Moderator: Eagleh
Fourtrees Four massive oaks stand in a circle around a sandy hollow. The hollow is almost directly in the middle of the four Clans. Every full moon, cats from each Clan gather here under a truce. The stars shine brightly and so does the moon, to show that StarClan is always watching. The light filteres softly through the oak leaves, making this beautiful hollow dark yet light at the same time. A few voles come ehre occasionally, but it isn't that big of a prey spot. Moderator: Silver
Thunderpath (1 sub-board) Cats call this the Thunderpath because of the noise that the monsters make when they zoom by. It runs between ShadowClan and ThunderClan, and turns on to ShadowClan's other border by the Carrionplace. It's grey and hot, always stick. Cats have gotten hit here by monsters, so you need to be careful. The banks of the Thunderplath are covered with pebbly sand. it is raised slightly from the ground, and cats fear to cross it.

HighStones These mountains border the edge of WindClan territory, seperated from the moor by a long and dark Thunderpath. They're not too tall, but still a ominous sight for eyes that have not yet passed this way before. HighStones is home to the Moonstone, a place where the forest Clans can communicate with StarClan. If you enter through Mothermouth, and go down a long tunnel, you will find the bright crystal. Moderator: Eagleh

Kittypet Suburbs Far from the wild desolation and hungry battles of the woods lies a small neighbourhood on the edge of a bigger city. Many Twolegs here raise kittypets. These cats live their whole lives in comfort, with food always at the ready. The houses are of medium size, and this location is for those with a medium income. Generally the kittypets are unbothered, though occasionally, a Clan cat will swing by. Moderators: Eagleh, xx snakey

Whisper Fields Located in an area very close to WindClan territory, a large, spacious meadow lies here. Along with a small abandoned two-leg house that loners can find shelter in. Horses and two-legs with their dogs often come here. But not to worry, the horses are locked in their fence's and the two-legs have security of their dogs, well most of the time at least. Mice and other birds are the best source of prey in this part. Hay and other debris lies in the old two-leg house. Dock leaves and other types of herbs common to the area can be found here. Catmint even grows here, but in small quantities.
The Abandoned Farm This farm used to be inhabited by twolegs and a couple of horses and sheep, but now its all but abandoned. It makes a good place for cats to stay though! Its lush pasture and barn are just crawling with all sorts of prey, some kinds that even Clan-cats don't know about! And the inside of the house, where the back door lays wide open for visitors, is cozy and warm, the scent of twolegs completely washed away by time. Out back there's an orchard of apples, cherries, oranges, lemons, limes, and it even has bushes full of berries. All this has somehow managed to stay growing through the moons. Moderators: Eagleh, xx snakey , Silver
Graveyard An eerie mist hangs over these graves, drowing the graveyeard in a deafening silence. Crows fly around in the dark sky, cawing like evil omens. The whole place stinks of death, and it has not been used in a long time by Twolegs. Rogue cats often meet here, if they're up to something. There have even been rumours of strange rituals going on, and perhaps even cannibalism. Moderators: Eagleh, xx snakey

Old Motel - 1 Viewing Standing next to the woods is an old motel, looking as thought it could fall over at any second. It's been abandoned for close to thirty years, a long time in the eyes of a cat. The rooms are musty and full of dust. The curtains are ripped and in tatters. Many loner cats find themselves staying here for a few nights, if not making in this their permanent home. They've been known to stake a claims on the rooms, so the whole motel is like a group of loners living together. But they don't talk, and they only care about themselves.
If you would like a room here, please PM one of the admins.
