Off-Territory

== Overview ==
Off-Territory ranges from fields to forests to mountains. It is anywhere that is not claimed by an established group. For CaveClan it's the northern mountain slopes and eastern sparse forest. For MarshClan it's the center of the Lake. For TreeClan it's the western forest and for FieldClan it's the Twoleg Farmland.
Off-Territory is home to many types of creatures including rogues, loners and kittypets. In the past, the clan cats were largely hostile to these outsider groups and it led to some intense conflicts and wars. In more recent times, this hostility has subsided and loners are more openly accepted into most of the clans without issue.
== Locations and Groups ==
=== DarkClan's Forest (Old) ===
The eastern Off-Territory border of CaveClan was once shared by DarkClan, a group of twisted and evil cats led by Darkstar, once the leader of MarshClan. DarkClan was never fully accepted by the other four clans of the Lake, and as such they did not attend Gatherings or participate in other clan activities. Their forest territory was vastly similar to CaveClan's, only their cave systems were far shallower and their forests were sparser. 
=== The Crying Mountains ===
The Crying Mountains (Mount Strun Range) are northeast of CaveClan's territory. They are where the rocky foothills and coniferous forests turn into jagged peaks and barren tundra. Some claim these mountains stretch on forever, while others claim they were once home to tribes of giant cats, ancestors of the bobcat and lynx.
=== Twolegplace ===
One day of travel southwest from TreeClan's Off-Territory border will take a cat to Twolegplace - a small Twoleg settlement that was once home to the meanest and cruelest rogues the lake territories have ever encountered: the Wolf-Pack. In human terms, the Twolegplace is a small village of about 20 permanent homes, and space for temporary RV homes on the outskirts. 
In the present day this Twolegplace is still considered dangerous and avoided by most clan cats. It is, however, vital to the Clans' survival as it possesses an overabundance of bitter root - the only cure for the deadly nightcough disease.
=== Twoleg Farm ===
FieldClan's northwestern Off-Territory border is the boundary fence of a Twoleg farm. The farm itself is known to have a rotating cast of loners and former kittypets, mostly ignored by the Twolegs as the cats hunt mice and clear out rats that would otherwise destroy the grain supplies. The farm grows primarily wheat and corn but there is a smaller farm nearer to the Twoleg den that grows various cat-friendly plants.
