You wander into a lush forest full of pines, oaks, and many other types. Suddenly, you here a twig snap, and you spot eyes in the bushes watching you. You turn as a beautiful, young calico she-cat gracefully slips out of the under growth. Her pools of blue eyes lock into yours, "Welcome to Myloverclan territory. Now I'll give you a choice. Leave and never return, or join and stay happy forever." She mewed, a hint of a snarl in her voice. You stay quiet for a moment, considering this. You ask what the clan is about. The she-cat laughed, "My clan is about love. Even if your mate abandons you, you will be able to find a new one easily. Basicly, no more heart breaks and pain." You consider it.... Which will you choose?

The Territory:
To the north is a mountain range and cliffs leading up to them. It's tricky to get a good hunt here, so most apprentices are tested here. It doesn't provide much cover though.
To the south it becomes a lush forest of any tree you could imagine practically, great for sneaking around and trying to hide.
To the west is more forest, except the only difference is one of the tree's holds the connection to the ancestors. Its the tree you would least expect it, too.
To the east, the last direction, is a lake, and a huge one at that. The water is most calm at noon here, when you can see your reflection at its best.
The Camp:
The camp is in the middle of the territory a perfect area too. It's a grassy clearing, protected by a thick thorn bush wall, a common plant around these areas.
The Leader's den: a den that's surprisingly low to the ground. A great oak stands on the edge of the camp. Under some of its roots is a narrow tunnel. after you go through the tunnel about five pawsteps it opens up to an underground chamber, with another chamber for the leader's to sleep in off to the side
The Deputy's den: the deputies sleep is a den made from thickly woven bramble and thorn bushes near the Leaders den.
The Medicine Cat's den: The medicine's den is split up all through out the oak that has the leader's den under it. It has been hallowed out by tooth and claw. the top chamber is for the medicine cat apprentices to sleep. The second chamber is for the herbs to be stored. The third chamber is for the actual medicine cat's to sleep. The fourth chamber is lowest to the ground and is for the sick or hurt to stay, unless they can get up and climb out themselves
The Warrior's den: the warriors of the clan sleep under a large pine's leaves. It's backed up with large leaves in case rain manages to seep through. It's a den that is near the front of camp, and is hiding the nursery on one side
The Nursery: the nursery is basically like the leader's den. it is behind the warriors den which hides it on one side. The other side is hidden by thorn bushes. When you go into the nursery, its a long tunnel about 3 fox lengths down it becomes a chamber where the kits play in the dim light when they're young. There are tunnels leading off to different parts of the nursery, three to be exact. two go to sleeping corridors and the other is an escape route.
The Apprentices den: The apprentice of the clan sleep in a bramble thicket, though its smaller then all of the other dens, except the elder's den.
The Elder's den: the elders den is inside a fallen oak. filled with moss, feathers, and anything else to make the wise ones comfortable. There is also and escape tunnel in their den as well that joins up with the nursery's.
The Arena: The arena is a small clearing just outside of camp that is used when:
1.) Two males fight over a female
2.) some cats are craving a fight
3.) an intruder challenges a cat to a fight.
*WARNING* A leader must be present during the fight.
