As you venture from the colliery to the adit, sunlight is showering into the darkness, illuminating the cave walls and warming the sandstone bed beneath. Outside the air is thick and hazy, bringing the illusion that sweat and grime is building between ones toes, though it is merely the heat tricking the brain into thinking such a thing. The skies are clear of any clouds, the horizon blue in colouration, though there is promise of rainfall occurring this afternoon (3PM). The plains beyond the camp are scorched from the heat of the day prior, leaving the sun-baked earth difficult to walk on. Any neighbouring thunderbeasts (tankers, bulldozers, etc) are advised to be avoided for the time-being because the very touch of metal on flesh will draw out a mighty hiss. Liquids captured in any rainpools (crevices in rock that are deep enough to store water) are to be collected by empty shells (rocks) and brought into the camp. Any advisers in the area (older scouts, officer, overseer) must be consulted and grant approval before the water can be dumped into the crystal pond (a dip in the earth encased in thick rock, ensuring that no liquids would escape. At the bottom of the pool, crystals the clan has collected over the years are stored in the basin to 'purify' the water and make it drinkable). [/fancypost][/fancypost][/fancypost] |

With the sun scorching down upon the heat-baked earth, cats who tread this open field risk dying of starvation, dehydration, or heat-stroke. Where water is scarce and the brush is dull and dying, nothing survives this formidable tundra. Travellers that wander these plains are often sentenced to their death. The entrance to the mineshaft is known as the Adit. This is where almost all camp activity takes place. Lining the roof of the cavern are jagger stalactites that could plummet at any given second. Though nary an incident has been recorded, it's always important to be aware of ones surroundings. Beyond the soothing light of day that floods the entrance of the camp (Adit) lies the Colliery, a maze of tunnels systems that bring older members (above 12 moons) deeper into the mountain. Though light here is scarce, the crystals many have collected over the seasons illuminate the chambers that branch off into different directions. Inexperienced members (apprentices) are encouraged not to enter the Jagged Pass, a path that leads many cats to their death as the Void lays claim to them. Buried deep within the husk of a mountain as old as the earth itself lies cavernous rooms infested with crystal growths. However, to get there would increase your chances of getting lost in its depths, a tricky labyrinth lay before you as you scour the darkness (light being a myth in the Void) for anything of value to bring back to your clan. As you bury yourself further into the mountain, you'll come to realize that light is beginning to return, despite being hundreds of metres beneath the surface. Hanging from the ceiling are silk-like, bioluminescent string that is produced by glow worms and caterpillars. Travelling further will introduce you to tunnels that are filled with glowing crystals. Most are far too great in size to bring back to the top, but deeper you go, the more likely it is to find underground springs and smaller crystals. Per the fables that have been created, the Heart of the Mountain is a chamber filled with nothing but ice. Frost is said to bite at the tips of your whiskers as you close in on the geode showering in light and is supposed to be colder than the far North's bitter Leafbare. Rare minerals and gems are plentiful in this area, but even so; it is forbidden to take anything from the core. None have had the chance to tempt that, and it's likely that none ever will. The void is a darkness that is all encompassing. Light is an absent thing within the tunnels of the Jagged Pass, making it near impossible to traverse without some sort of illumination device. The caves are narrow and are hard on the paws, making it difficult for anyone with some sort of infection to wander the abyss without leaving unscathed. Many tunnels are caved in or crumbling. In some, just the vibrations of an excited cat's voice could topple it. With crumbling Gunite and toppled ribs, the mines are often dangerous beyond exploration. In many places the floor has fallen from under paw and you must make the decision to leap across into unknown or to venture back. [/fancypost][/fancypost][/fancypost] |

| The Cats of the Labyrinth are awakening to the sound of crickets chirping beyond the adit. It is The Dawn of the First Day of the Season of Choosing, a time where a new Overseer (leader) is to be elected. Cats competing for, said role will be represented either by themselves or a Greenhorn, and only cats that have successfully mentored an apprentice and are over the age of 12 moons can enter with their own campaign. On the Dawn of the Third Day, the tribe's resident Matriarch(s) will come to the decision on who will lead their clan into glory. [/fancypost][/fancypost][/fancypost] |
