ThunderClan Camp
Highrock
- A large outcropping of stone in the center of the camp. Two small caves within the stone form leader's and medicine cat's dens. Over the top of the Leader's Den is a smooth, flat area where the Leader traditionally stands to call together the Clan for a meeting.
Leader's Den
- A small cave in the Highrock, sheltered by the growth of vines and other vegetation. This provides a private place for the leader that stays relatively cool in greenleaf, and nicely warm in leaf-bare.
Medicine Cat's Den
- A small cave in the Highrock that lies opposite of the leader's den. The entrance is more open than the leader's den, with a few small bushes near the entrance that provide good cover for ailing cats who must stay near the den. Within are two different chambers that provide a place for the medicine cat (and it's apprentice) to sleep in addition to storage space for Herbs.
Warrior's Den
- Formed with walls of sticks, brambles and other such vegetation, the den is not as secure as the leader's and medicine cat's den but still provides excellent protection for the cats that call it home. The entrance looks out on the fresh-kill pile and elder's den, and the floor is of sand covered in soft moss.
Apprentice's Den
- Much like the warrior's den, though on a smaller scale, the apprentice's den is almost identical. The stick and bramble walls and ceiling provide cover and protection from the elements for creatures that sleep within on the sand and moss floor.
Nursery
- Built away from the main wall of the camp, the walls of the nursery have been built to be more solid and much fuller than the primary outer wall and the walls of the warrior and apprentice dens. Here the sandy floor is covered in moss, but the nests in that moss are lined with warm fur and feathers from the kills made by apprentices and warriors. The queens of the Clan reside here along with their young kits.
Elder's Den
- A large fallen tree that's gone hollow with age, the elder's den is possessed of little construction by cats' paws. Instead, nature has provided an almost perfect place for the oldest cats in the Clan to live. It's thickly lined with mosses, fur and feathers so that it's occupants will be less likely to take a chill.
Fresh-kill pile
- A small pile of slain prey items that lay in a small depression in the largest open area of the camp. Because of its placement, a returning hunter must parade past the apprentices', warriors' and elders' dens to deposit their kills.
River's Edge
Tresspass Point
- Geography: The point where ThunderClan Territory meets both RiverClan and WindClan.
- Description: Nothing sets this small chunk of territory apart save for the multitude of clan-scents that mark the ground near the Rockpath and on the nearby bushes. WindClan, RiverClan, and ThunderClan scents mingle heavily, with faint traces of ShadowClan (the only evidence of the dares so popular amongst the Clan's apprentices).
RiverClan Border
- Geography: The border with RiverClan runs from Tressspass Point, across the Sidestream and the point where the Stream Clearing opens on the Riverbank, and along the treeline, around the edges of Sunningrocks and back to the treeline until the point where the Westforest ends along the Small Thunderpath.
- Description: The border with RiverClan is the points where forest meets open country with the exception of the Sunningrocks.
Sunningrocks
- Geography: A place on the East Bank between the Upper and Lower Portions.
- Description: A flat, rocky area tucked into a bend in the river where it runs deeply. Large stones litter the ground and create wonderful places for a cat to sun itself in addition to a multitude of hide-y-holes for mice and voles.
Sandy Hollow
- Geography: A small clearing in between Northforest and Westforest near a curve in the Sidestream.
- Description: A small clearing with a sandy floor. The trees that surround it are predominantly oaks and elms.
Sidestream
- Geography: A small stream that splits from the river shortly after the bridge and flows through ThunderClan territory into ShadowClan.
- Description: A thin stream that flows slowly towards ShadowClan territory. During spring and fall it runs rich with smaller fish that use the shallower water to hide from larger fish.
Owltree
- Geography: A large maple tree located between the rockpath and the Stream Clearing on the open ground before the RiverClan border with the River Copse to the west.
- Description: A massive maple tree that stands on a stretch of open grass. A hole in the trunk is home to a large tawny owl that can be a danger to kits and small apprentices.
Stream Clearing
- Geography: A clearing between the Sandy Hollow and the small offshoot stream of the Sidestream.
- Description: A grassy clearing containing a small stream offshoot that is little more than a trickle. the trees that surround it are dominated by maple and alder trees.
Woods
Northforest
- Geography: the patch of forest in the northernmost forested section of ThunderClan territory surrounding the Sidestream and directly above camp, the Sandy Hollow and the Stream Clearing.
- Description: A patch of dense forest made up primarily of elm and maple trees.
Westforest
- Geography: The patch of forest in the western forested section of southern part ThunderClan territory and to the west of ThunderClan camp.
- Description: A patch of forest that gives way to the clear banks of the river. The trees are dominated by oak and elder trees, many of which have reached an impressive age.
Eastforest
- Geography: A patch of forest that butts up against the straight lines of the Twoleg trees that lie to the east. On the west side, this forest comes as far as the ThunderClan camp, which lies to the north of it.
- Description: A forested patch that is thick and leafy, full of underbrush and old growth. Wild oak and sycamore trees live alongside young and gangly apple trees, joined by the occasional more domestic species of tree, escaped and gone wild from the orchard.
Great Sycamore
- Geography: A large tree that stands in a clearing above Eastforest between ThunderClan camp and Snakerocks.
- Description: A tree of an impressive size drowns out all other growth and stands in a clearing created by it's own majesty. The huge sycamore stands overlooking Snakerocks and providing a place for the reptiles to escape the summer heat.
Thunderpath
SC Border
- Geography: The ShadowClan border is marked by the edge of the Thunderpath and runs from the pine tree to the northwest of the Northforest and all the way east to just past Snackrocks.
- Description: Trees, bushes and tall grass run alongside the reeking black surface of the Thunderpath. ShadowClan territory can be both seen and smelled on the other side.
Snakerocks
- Geography: A clearing surrounded by the Great Sycamore, Eastforest, the Twoleg's Trees, and the Thunderpath.
- Description: A rock littered clearing known for the snakes that populate it. It is also an excellent place to hunt mice that dart amongst the rocks in the mornings before the adders grow active.
Twoleg's Trees (Orchard)
- Geography: An organized line of fruit trees located between Eastforest and Twolegplace.
- Description: Ordered lines of trees stand in unnatural rows. The grass beneath them is kept short by Twolegs, who also come to gather the fruit and nuts the trees drop.
East Clearing
- Geography: A small clearing between Eastforest and the Twoleg's Trees with the Small Thunderpath to the south.
- Description: A small grassy clearing that is used every leaf-fall by twolegs gathering fruit and nuts from the Twoleg's Trees. The clearing makes for decent hunting of squirrels moving between Eastforest, the Twoleg's Trees and Tallpines.
Outer Borders
- Geography: The borders that run up against the Thunderpath around Tallpines.
- Description: Most of this path is forested, with the exception of the part that runs through the East Clearing. It follows the edges of the Small Thunderpath, and overlooks Tallpines, making it an ideal place for Clanless cats to use to stage violence against ThunderClan.
