Talking Spot
- A small clearing amongst the briars of the eastern wall atop a small rise. This is the place where announcements are traditionally made.
Leader's Den

Deputy's Den
- A bit further east is the deputy's den. This den is slightly smaller than the Leader's but is decorated in the same way.
Medicine Cat's Den
- Between the Elder's Den and Nursery lies the Medicine Cat's comfortable den. All but one concern of the floor is bare dirt, and along the rest of the walls are the stores of herbs kept for healing, giving the den the heady fragrance of herbs and flowers year round.
Elder's Den
- The largest of the den's on the northwall is the Elder's den. The dirt floor is thickly coated in dried grasses and mosses, and extra care has been taken to ensure the walls are wind-proofed.
Nursery

Warrior's Den
- The largest of all the ShadowClan dens is the Warrior's Den located on the southwall. This large den is bare-dirt at the center, but comfortable nests of dried grasses line the walls. The briar walls are thick, giving the warriors a secure place sleep.
Apprentice's Den
- To the east of the Warriors' Den is the apprentice's den. This den, though smaller, is almost an exact match for to the Warrior's one.
