First cats!

Shimmerstar gazed around the barren clearing. She promised to Starclan that she would rebuild Burstclan. She leaped onto the DesertStone, not bothering to call."We have our first new joiners! Welcome to Burstclan, Flamewave and Hawkwatcher!" She smiled warmly at the two toms."Hopefully, we will have more joiners so that we can rebuild Burstclan. Blizzardwave, please show them around camp." Shimmerstar nodded to her brother."Meeting dismissed."

Shimmerstar slinked down and headed to her den on the other plateau.

Chew this into a fine syrup. It helps to sleep.

Training Clearing

Rocky clearing where mentors train their apprentices. It has large rocks a some dead trees, which are ideal to use for training.

Swift River

This is the river we use for training. The water isn't very pure, so we usually stick to the Plateau Pond for water. Here is where we teach apprentices how to swim, or maybe we just play in the water to cool off.

Mysteryclan Border

Mysteryclan is just beyond the mountains. Our territory range is extremely large, since none of the other clans can adapt to the dry weather.

Plateau Pond

On another mesa not too far away, there is a large lake filled with pure, cold water. Since water is so vital to us in our dry environment, we send regular patrols to fetch water in some bark.

Hunting Plains

Fairly barren, except for plants here and there. We can find rabbits in burrows and a few snakes or lizards. There are plenty or desert mice, and sometimes we can catch large birds like eagles and hawks.

Hollow Tree (Starclan meeting place.)

Large, ancient tree that is gnarled and dead. The leaders and medicine cats sleep on their branches to receive visions from Starclan.

Elders Den

Large cluster of bushes near the apprentices den. All these bushes connect, so it makes a nice, cozy den for our elders. We weave twigs into the bushes to make sure it's well protected.

Nursery

Shallow cave/ledge that is covered with grass and feather at the bottom. It is draped with fallen willow limbs except for the entrance for protection. It constantly smells of nursing milk.

Apprentices Den

An odd patch of greenery lies on our camp mesa. A huge, thick willow tree grows there, it's limbs so dense that it makes a perfect den. This is where the apprentices sleep, almost as if we were on normal clan territory.

Warriors Den

Large cave tucked into the mesa floor. It is very wide and cool, sheltering all of our warriors and protecting them from the heat of sun-high.

Medicine Cat Den

Large burrow in the ground, formed by rabbits. There are many cracks in the ceilings because of dry weather, so it is easy to see herbs and sick cats.

Leaders Den.

This is the Leaders Den. It is a rather big hollow carved into the rock by the wind. It is located on the mesa that is smaller but slightly taller than the other mesa.
