[color=gold]SummerClan - SummerClan is a hyper and happy Clan. They are bursting with energy and love running around. They sometimes have short pelts that are built for living in the heat. Most of them have pelts that range from yellow to brown. They live on the mountain with WinterClan, SpringClan, and AutumnClan. They live in an open field with a few trees.
[color=orange]AutumnClan - AutumnClan is a peaceful and kind Clan. They don't like making trouble but are very lethal in battle so do not underestimate them. They are very graceful when it comes to trees, and are also swift on their feet. They are a close family, and love goofing off and messing about. Their pelts differ from very light ginger to jet-black, with few exceptions. They share the mountain with SummerClan, WinterClan, and SpringClan. They live in the Autumn Woods. They love chilly weather (but not too cold).
[color=beige]SpringClan - SpringClan has been said to be a weak Clan, but they are the exact opposite of that! They are stealthy on the battle field and keen hunters. They love playing around but are very serious when fighting for what they know and love. They have light colored pelts and are very small. They love warm weather, but not too hot.
[color=white]WinterClan - WinterClan is a very hostile and proud Clan. They are aggressive to the other Clans and are very cold-hearted. They have thick pelts built for living in the cold and are generally white, silver brown, and in some cases, black, to aid them in blending in with their environment. They are some of the strongest in battle, however, their hunting skills are average. WinterClan seldom allows cats in, as they prefer to keep their heritage pure, and half-clan cats are held in redicule.
[color=lightblue]SplashClan - SplashClan is a Clan that lives alone in a valley, in a camp surrounded by many rivers, brooks and lakes. They are the fourth of five Clans, living alongside SummerClan, SpringClan, WinterClan and AutumnClan. They thrive on fish, and are all trained swimmers. They are not land hunters, but the plentiful fish keep the majority of the Clan fit and healthy. Although their pelt types vary in colour, their breeds are not so widely varied, and most of the Clan have short, thick fur and long limbs. They are known to be hard-working and stoic in their deposition.

[color=orange]AutumnClan - (AC)

· The camp is located right along the general line of red trees and greenery. Due to a lack of lime in the soil, the red trees are poisoned, and struggle to produce enough chlorophyll to survive. Dry leaves litter the camp floor year-round. Several large boulders are scattered across camp, the tallest of which the leader uses for announcements, but the rest are open for use. Due to the camp's location, they are prone to droughts in the summer, which in turn led to the Great Famine. In the summer it is very shady, however, and sparse grasses cover most of the ground. It is currently in use.

· The mountain river and grassy river are far away from camp, but small streams that come up due to snow melt in the late spring often come close enough for the elders to reach. Water often has to be carried in for nursing queens, kittens, and elders.

· The dead stumps that cover a fifth of the territory are the result of volcanic activity from the mountain years prior. Grasses and some saplings have shot up, but no large trees have taken root yet, and most of the area is covered in burnt, branch-less trunks.

[color=lightblue]SplashClan - (SplC)

· The camp is right along the edge of one river, with soft, sandy banks that flows slowly. Smaller streams sprout off of it in the spring and early summer, which can criss-cross the camp depending on how much snow melted. Nests must be made of branches, so that they can float when the river floods, which happens fairly regularly. Some nests for able-bodied warriors are up in the willow trees, resting between forks in the branches. The ground is covered in a soft dirt and sand mixture, and small shells sometimes wash up on the bank of the river. Cats often adorn their dens or nests with the artifacts they find. In the spring small, pink flowers cover the ground, giving the camp a fresh, sweet scent.

· The rest of the territory is covered in water. The largest river, the Sun-Down River, runs from the city, through SummerClan, through SpringClan, and into SplashClan. Smaller rivers feed into it, springing from the rest of their territory. Various streams pop up fairly randomly throughout the year, thanks to the sandy soil and hilly terrain of the area.

· Evergreen trees cover most of the area, with tall, ancient willows covering the riverbanks.

· The camp rests above the Sky River, known for its crystal-clear waters that perfectly reflect the sky. The Sky Oak can be seen from its shores. Shorter oak trees surround the camp, giving it plenty of shelter in the winter from snow. Most of the dens are made from bushes and old dens below the roots of the trees. Snail shells are in an abundance in the camp, and many cats will take them to decorate their dens. A large Magnolia tree is in the center of camp, and in the spring, the entire camp is covered in its petals. The ground has very few small, vine-like plants covering it, due to the large amount of shade masking the area. In mid-summer they provide soft, white blooms, which cover the entire forest floor.

· The rest of the forest is covered in blooming plants, hence why the terrain earned its name.

· The Sky Oak is rumored to have been planted when Rusty first came to the forest, but it was there even before he joined the early group. It towers over all other trees in the valley, and may even rival the ancient pines of WinterClan and The Storm Fronts. Only a few cats have ever climbed to the top, but many have fallen and died while trying.

[color=gold]SummerClan - (SuC)

· SummerClan's territory is made up of patches of leafy trees, surrounded by large, flat areas of grasses. The large lake along the SpringClan border is known as Moon-High lake, and is where Poole drowned, which caused the formation of the clans. SummerClan and SpringClan often fought over ownership of it, and currently, it is owned by SummerClan, and its cats may walk anywhere the water touches.

· Its camp rests in the extended patch of trees, almost in the center of its territory. The short oaks protect the camp from harsh sunlight, while the slight incline in elevation guards it from the floods that come with Sun-Drown River.

· The grasses that cover a majority of the fields are taller than the average cat, although the tallest cats may be able to see above it. Many snakes and mice take shelter in them, so cats must be wary when hunting.

· The entrance to SummerClan camp is near a bunch of tall trees. In particular, there's a few tall cedars, and a large gap between two oaks that serves as the actual entrance.

· There's a small highland area near the free land 'territory', where there's a small cave. Tesla died in this cave while he was staying there one night.

· There's a particular spot with very short, flat grass surrounded by large trees. Harepaw and his friends have gone here a couple of times. There's a bunch of theories on why the grass tends to be lower around this area. To get there, one must leave SummerClan camp, evade a fallen tree, and go through a bunch of oaks and maples. The entire trek doesn't take long, as the clearing isn't far from the camp. It's often used as a training area. There's a few bushes, too.

· Nearing the border with the Valley City is a trail lined with bushes that leads to another pair of oaks, that has a forking area; Chervilclaw led a certain group of apprentices here once as part of a tour. The path to the left is a large field with tall grasses. The path to the right is surrounded with tree, and there's a dip in the distance. The path in the middle is a forested area where reports of foxes aren't uncommon.

· The camp located closest to the border is the original camp, founded by the cats of Snow's time, and put back into use by Blackstar. Filled with brushes and other short grasses, it provides plenty of shelter throughout the year. Wildflowers fill it in spring, and not much rock face is exposed. Being very close to the borders of both SpringClan and AutumnClan, it is easy to access. Its use was discontinued by Guppystar.
The camp along the timberline of the mountain was founded by Crowstar, and was used throughout Maplestar's, Larkstar's, Snowstar's, and Reedstar's leaderships. Located at the base of a steep cliff, the ground is made primarily of snow, and only a tall pine growing in the center of camp provides shelter. The rest of the camp is clear of brush and undergrowth, but more pine trees begin to grow at the edges of camp. Resting at the top of the timberline, the steep slopes make it tremendously difficult for cats born outside of the clan to access, practically leaving it intangible. It was put back into use during the reign of Guppystar.

· The small lake pooled at the center of the four rivers is known as Claw Lake, and is often frozen over in the Winter and Spring.

· The timberline marks off the general area of where prey cease to roam. Most hunting takes place in the trees, as any place above timberline is tricky to maneuver. The tree-covered area of the territory is dominated by evergreen trees.

[color=gray]The City

· A small city on the edge of the valley, primarily filled with residential homes. Many kittypets live in its limits. The further north you go into it, the taller and more industrialized its buildings get, until it tapers back down into suburbs.

· The Rushing Shores River - The widest river on the map; Rushing Shores is about half a mile wide. It is far too wide for any cat to cross easily, so all newcomers to the area have to come from the North, West, or South. The first Clan cats to have left their territory to see it were Umbrastripe and Snailstorm, and so far are the only two to know of its location. Many fish inhabit it, and thanks to steep banks on either side, it seldom floods. The river branching off of it, curving around the mountain, is the Claw River, which feeds directly into the Claw Lake of WinterClan.
