Quietly whispering through the grasses of Skyclan and the trees of Pineclan, across the sands and waters of Oceanclan and Sandclan; an ancient chorus sings a message of truth to all who will here: Blood will cross, many will fall, a new code will rise, four to lead the clans to their destiny, four to lead them to the peaks of Naru, four to lead them back to what was stolen from them.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
The clans lay in turmoil: across all four territories a murky twilight lays, the sky is gray and bleak and a thick fog hangs low to the ground. Starclan seems to have abandoned them, the leaders and medicine cats have little to console their confused clanmates. It is the beginning of a new era, can the clans survive the changes yet to come, or will they crumble like their forefathers before them?

Sandclan
Camp A small trail carves its way through tidal pools to a large open sandy place. Tall flowering shrubs surround it, on one side of the clearing open sandy beach stretches for miles, and on the opposite side a maze of tidal pools leading down to the ocean and east to the Cliffs. Moderator: Phantomstar
Territory (1 sub-board) To the east of the camp, beach stretches on for miles to the cliffs. Here the territory stops at the Oceanclan border, Lookout Rock. On the other side of the camp the tidal pools turn into a maze of trails and small caves that glitter with crystels and brightly colored fish. They and and birds are the main prey on the beach. Anything from the smallest sandpiper to an osprey can be found. To the south the land becomes rougher, there is less sand and more salt grass. The cats prey mostly on rabbits here. Moderator: Phantomstar
Camp A bridge on the other side of the shoreline cliffs that mark the coastal clans boarder. The bridge leads to a small island surrounded on all sides by hills. On the inside of the island the hills are gently sloped to there peaks, however on the outside the hills are almost to steep to climb, making the island a natural fortress. This camp was once a ranch, but most of the buildings have rotted away and a few lonely fence posts are all that remain. Wild horses are said to run free on the northern inner hills of the island. Oceanclan's camp is on the southern end on the island, so the horses' territory is well away form the cats, though loners sometimes come down from the hills near the clan's camp.

Territory Beyond the bridge that spans between the Island Camp and the shore, white sand stretches on for miles. To the west the sandy beach stops at the edge of the shoreline cliffs that mark the border between Sandclan and Oceanclan. To the east the beach recedes slowing into grassland and then thick fur forest. At the Pineclan Oceanclan there are scrubby Yellow pine and short salt grass before White pines and lush forest grass cover the ground. Moderator: Phantomstar
Camp The Skyclan camp rests south of the Sandclan border in the base of a valley. A small creak runs through it, providing water for the clan cats. The hills are arranged in such a way that anyone who comes upon the valley wouldn't see it until they were right on top of it, in addition to it's natural defences the camp has a dome of brambles that to any outsiders appear to be a solid patch of brambles. Centries are posted around the camp day and night, any intruder would be spotted by the sharp-eyed Skyclan warriors before they got within sixty foxlengths of the camp. Moderator: Phantomstar
Territory Plains stretch on all sides of the camp. To the south, they go on for miles until they meat a green haze in the distance that is White Pine ridge. To the west they slowly fade into pine forest, Pineclan territory. Rabbits are the main prey for these cats, as well as field mice, birds, hawks and anything else that wanders across the Pineclan border. The grass is tall and almost wheat-like, as well as the short salt grass from lower down on the shore. To the east one great sycamore stands. It is almost the largest tree in all of the clan territories. Skyclan apprentices often challenge each other to see how high up in it they can get. Moderator: Phantomstar

Pineclan
Camp The Pineclan camp is up even higher than the plains of Skyclan. In a small clearing surrounded by thick pine forest. Lush green grass grows. The clearing is surrounded by thick brambles and only a small tunnel leads to it. A huge white pine stands in the center of the clearing, overshadowing all of it. Welcome to the Pineclan camp. Moderator: Phantomstar
Territory Thick pine forest covers mountains here. Mostly White pines, Hemlock, and Douglas fur. However a few Oaks and Maples may be dotted here and there. Underbrush is thin, because the trees block out most of the sunlight from reaching the forest floor. The ground is coated with a thick layer of needles, that muffle the sound of a cats paws on the ground. To the north-east of the camp there is a huge rock that towers above the level of the trees.

Peace Places
Lunar Valley This is a beautiful valley in the center of the clan territories. In the middle of the valley there is a gigantic hemlock tree. A quarter of the way up the trunk there is a brake in the thick branches. Here the leaders can sit and see the whole valley while the cats below can see them as well. The grass is almost lime green at the base and teal at the edges. No cat knows what causes the grass to be colored this way, but it looks stunning a long with the rest of the valley in the moonlight. A small waterfall is on the east side of the valley. It falls into a shallow pool about two feet deep. A stream runs from its base and flows through the valley. Moderator: Phantomstar

Cristal Cave There is a cave beyond Oceanclan territory that is set into the cliffs there. A small path leads along the side of the cliffs to it. A creak runs over the edge of the cliffs just before the path merges with a wide ledge in front of the cave. The water colects in a pool on the ledge and then runs over the edge. Inside the cave it is damp, faintly glowing moss clings to the walls. When the half moon rises and illuminates the cave. Suddenly showers of color hit the water fall and send the mist from it dancing in a thousand rainbows. Sticking out at random intreevals of the moss are large brighty colored cristals. The Medicine cats come here every half moon to share tongues with Starclan. Moderator: Phantomstar

Loner Lands
The Barn South-eastward of the Clan territories there is an old run down barn and a big field. The field and the barn once belonged to a twoleg farm, but there was a fire that burned down the other buildings and killed the twolegs and there animals. The barn is warm during the winter and cool in the summer. Inside there are stalls lining the walls, leaving a narrow hall in between. All over the barn hay is scattered and square bails of it sit in the rafters. This is a welcome refuge for any loner that passes by. Moderator: Phantomstar

Old Farmhouse Agood distance away from the barn along a space in the tall hay that once was a road lies an old farmhouse. The house is littered with holes and human junk; it's foundations are rotted out and half the roof is missing. Bushes and brambles have grown through the floor into the house. A thick layer of ivy covers the house, probably the only thing keeping it standing. Moderator: Phantomstar

Hay Field Growing all around the Old Farmhouse and the Barn is a thickly growing wild variaty of the hay the twolegs once grew here, the grass is thick and tall enough to hide a good size cat. A good population of foul, mice and moles live in the field. It is an excellent place to hunt. Moderator: Phantomstar

White Maple Ridge West of the Barn and South of Skyclan territory. There is a ridge covered in white-barked maples. Here all Loners come in peace. Fighting is off limits. The place even has an aura of peace about it. Here the ancient ancestors of the original clans Pantherclam, Cheetahclan, and Tigerclan rest. Moderator: Phantomstar
