There is some confusion as to what the Colony's Camp looks like so I figured we could get it sorted out through group discussion. Are the dens caves? Or brambles made into dens?
Things that are set already:
They live in the mountains across from the Nox
The area they live in is forested
The Main Gathering Hall is in the tallest mountain
"In the center of the tallest mountain is a chamber, the main gathering hall. Each Alurian will mark their paw print on one of the walls and as they age, will make a new paw print. There is a wall for each new cub born to the colony, one for apprentices, and one for warriors. High positions past and present also have their paws on a separate wall. Each of these paws are made with a bit of sap from the glowing trees which then cause the mixture to glow and therefore the pawprints (Like how spit and blood glows for loving forms) this marks a timeline, and shows representation in the group, putting your paw on the wall as a warrior is something that comes with pride in knowing the ancestors have guided you right."
There is a Whisperer's Stone in the Gathering Hall
Within the gathering hall is a large stone, the leader and medicine cat equivalent listen to the stone, as it is believed to originate from their home - their birthlands. The stone is their only connection to the past and ancestors and so to protect the stone fighting and dangerous activities near it is forbidden, for all they know a simple scratch could cut the communications they have to their both home, permanently.
There was an avalanche as well as a monster that drove them from the original camp in the lower part of the mountains.

Since the Colony lives in the forest covering the mountains they deal with extreme seasons in several ways. In the winter their home grows cold and dangerous fast. Prey grows scares and snow covers the ground. But when spring comes water and life becomes plentiful. During early spring there is risk of avalanches though.

Ruins
Main Gathering Area/Cave of Pawprints and Whisper Stone [Needs to be a Cave/Cavern like area]:
This is the cave where the pawprints are placed on walls to signify births and promotions. This is also where the Whisperer's Rock is. The rock that is said to be the link to the old home of the Colony

Dens:
Nursery:
Where young kits/cubs and nursing mothers sleep. This is also where young cubs/kits stay until their old enough to venture into camp.

Apprentice Den:
Where the Apprentices sleep
Tree-house Dens:
Abandoned tree houses that were once a part of a thriving community, but now sit in ruin. They are located in different areas in and around the ruins that make up the camp. These dens can be used by mates or couples who want privacy or other adventurous colony members of all ranks.
Warrior Den:
Where the Warriors sleep

Whisperer's Den:
Where the Whisperer (and sometimes the Whisperer's mate) sleeps. There are also small areas where herbs can be stored if the Whisperer chooses to do so.

Center of Camp/Courtyard:
A area where colonists can gather, talk, store fresh kill, host activities, etc.
Both of these kind of give an idea on how the center of camp/courtyard would be inclosed. It would be full of grass and trees and stuff though
