StreamBurrows is a colony of rabbits that make their home on a hill by a stream. Their founder was Deep Ravine, who named the burrow after its location.

## Description

StreamBurrows are loyal, peaceful, and respectful. They are mostly known for their ability to swim. They are often criticised for always being willing to help others, which the other burrows perceive as nosiness. Nevertheless, these rabbits always strive to do what they believe is right.

## Territory

The StreamBurrows territory is on a hill bordering a stream.

Landmarks:

* Camp: Set atop the hill, the StreamBurrows camp is bordered with brambles at its western side. Holes for each rank are dug into the surrounding dirt walls. It is easy for the rabbits to defend, as the other burrows lack the ability to swim and thus cannot cross the river. However, the bramble barrier still requires guarding, as bigger foes may have an easier time breaking through.
* The River: The river runs past the hill and winds around a bend. It is easy for the StreamBurrows rabbits to cross, as the current is not usually too strong. Even if it floods, the rabbits are protected up on the hill. It serves as a good method of defense for the camp.
* The Training Plains: Apprentices are trained on a spread of flat ground on the opposite side of the river. There is a small pool of water here, which is useful for training young apprentices in the art of swimming and water combat.

The camp is located on a hill which slopes harshly down to the water's edge. However, there is an easy way to ascend the hill by using the path that the rabbits have created over time. Brambles and bushes act as a barrier at the top of the western rock wall, which makes it harder for other rabbits to get through. It is also well protected from all other directions by the river, because the other burrows cannot swim. The first notable landmark within camp is the Streamrock, a large rock that protrudes from the hillside, running all the way down to the water. Its peak is flat and connects directly to the camp, making it easy for the rabbits to access. This is also where the leader gives their speeches; the rest of the burrow forms a crescent moon around the platform. Below the rock, set into the hill, is the leader's den. At the top of the hill where the ground levels out, the rest of the ranks' warrens can be found. To the immediate left of the Streamrock, set into the rock wall, is the medicine den. Vines drape over its entrance. Next to the medicine den is the nursery, and adjacent to the nursery is the warriors' den. Then, on the far end of the western wall, is the apprentices' den. There are a couple of small trees at the centre of camp, as well as a small pool of water next to the western wall.

## Eras

### **Deep Ravine**

Deep Ravine was the founder of StreamBurrows. He created StreamBurrows alongside his two burrowmates in hopes of establishing a new home, having lost his old one to a flood. During his reign he recruited rabbits to join his group, most notably Berrystar, Spiderleap, and Hazelfur. He was a strong and just leader with a kind heart. He was also very good in combat, and ensured that his burrowmates were always protected without leading them into unnecessary wars. He was the first to master the art of swimming, and became well known by passing this skill down to his apprentices.

Deep Ravine was murdered by Red whilst Berrynose, Spiderleap and Hazelfur were out on patrols. After the then-Berrystar assumed leadership and avenged him, Deep Ravine's spirit appeared to the rabbits of StreamBurrows, assuring them that their group would forever be prosperous and strong.

### **Berrystar**

Berrystar is the current leader of StreamBurrows. He succeeded his mentor Deep Ravine, and is the only leader to have done so by method of election. He became leader after discovering Deep Ravine's body, vowing to avenge him. Berrystar's deputy is Spiderleap, and his medicine rabbits are Hollystripe and Twigherb.

Berrystar's reign has been largely peaceful, but at times he is prone to being too strong-willed. He is the first leader to establish the deputy system. Additionally, he helped establish ForestBurrows.

## Trivia

* StreamBurrows was originally named HillBurrows, but was changed due to the stream being more of a landmark.
* Out of all of the burrows, StreamBurrows has always been the most densely populated.
* Despite losing one of his former burrowmates to the force of a river, Deep Ravine founded StreamBurrows with the desire to master the water and never let it claim another life.
