Eagle’s Drop

=== Territory ===
Located in the desert, north east from Eagleclan's oasis, is a large ravine called "Eagle's Drop." Despite it's dangers, select warriors frequent this chasm as it's far more plentiful in prey than the desert above ground. Kits and apprentices are repeatedly warned of the risks of playing too close to Eagle's Drop with frightening tales of cats before them who did not heed their warnings. 
=== Divers ===
Divers are warriors that have also been trained to scale the Eagle's Drop and hunt at the bottom or perform rescue missions within the ravine. Due to the danger and difficulty of climbing the walls of Eagle's Drop, only those that are deemed capable will be invited to become divers. Typically, Eagleclanners are trained to be divers only after they’ve become warriors. On occasion, older apprentices may start training as a diver, though that generally means a later warrior ceremony. This is not very common as very few approve of bringing apprentices to Eagle’s Drop due to how risky it is. Divers are trained in small groups to scale down Eagle's Drop and hunt. This kind of arrangement continues, as divers stay together in small teams that are led by a more experienced, senior diver; even the most skilled divers rarely brave Eagle's Drop alone. Some notable former divers include Duststar and Hawkstar. Examples of current Eagleclan divers are Crowsong and Scorchfeather.
=== History ===
It's not known exactly when warriors started to hunt in Eagle's Drop, but they have been taking advantage of the much more fruitful hunts it provides for a long time. 
Unfortunately, Eagle's Drop has been the location of several tragic events for the cats of Eagleclan. Many, many seasons ago, Duststar lost his 3 kits while they were playing too close to Eagle's Drop. Tanglesnap's brother, Snappaw, fell into the ravine and sustained severe injuries that'd take his life; Tanglesnap's mother, Softsky, died after jumping in after Snappaw. Even the former deputy, Snakewind, was taken by Eagle's Drop in a rockslide, while rescuing Beankit.
