2. Lake Territories
ThunderClan Lake Territories
In the Lake, Thunderclan has a camp much different from its old one. Once again, the Nursery and Elder’s den are the most protected places of the camp. A ledge pops out from the cliff known as Highledge which is where leaders give announcements and does ceremonies. Behind the cliff is a cave near the top where the leader and his or her mate sleep. The apprentice’s den is also a cave in the rocks but the Warrior den is under a big thornbush. The medicine cat's den is another cave, but this time it’s hidden by bramble tendrils. Like the previous camp, the nursery is highly guarded and under a big bramble thicket reinforced with thick roots woven together for protection. Lastly, the elders den is a hazelbush but later it was rebuilt under the boughs of a Beech Tree and it was reinforced with honeysuckle.
ShadowClan Lake Territories
Their camp is in a tangle of brambles, with low-hanging branches all around and above it. These brambles and branches help protect against badgers and other big creatures. Many trees surround the camp, enabling cats to climb up them and see enemies coming. From these trees, the cats can see all the twolegs and their boats in the water too. The entrance of the camp is a thorn tunnel, made up of brambles. At the camp entrance is a large boulder, which cats have to slip past to enter the camp clearing. There is a large circle of dens for all the cats. The nursery is first, then the apprentices, then warriors, then the leader, and finally the elders at the end of the circle. This circle makes sure that kits and elders are closest to the low-hanging branches and the warriors are facing the entrance, if any kind of trouble. The medicine den is in a far corner; therefore kits don’t usually go in there as it is the farthest from the Nursery. It is a sandy, hollowed-out floor covered in dried pine needles. There, the branches aren't so bunched together, letting the medicine cats examine the skies for omens. Above the leader's den, there is a hazel branch that hangs over. This is once again, the place where the leaders addresses their clan.
WindClan Lake Territories
Their camp is made up of the following things: a huge boulder is in the center of the camp and this is called Tallrock. This is kind of like Highledge or Bonehill because this is where the leader gives speeches and does ceremonies. A gorse bush by the rock is the nursery. In another boulder is the Medicine Cat’s den. Everyone else sleeps in the center of the camp underneath the sky. But in bad weather, they go back into burrows made by Foxes, Rabbits etc. The Elder’s den is in an old Badger’s Den.
RiverClan Lake Territories
The camp is full of lush trees and streams filled with fish. There is a main stream that joins a smaller one, and on that triangle of land is the RiverClan camp. In the camp, there is a nest of brambles which is where the Nursery is. Other thickets are in the Elder’s den and the Leader’s Den. The Medicine Cat’s den is behind a thorn bush and overhangs the stream. There is a hole in the bank because water washed it away. This is essential for the medicine cat who can store his/her supplies and get fresh water any time. There aren't as many shiny things as the old camp, but twolegs (cats terminology for humans) often leave behind shiny things that the cats can use to decorate their nests.
