**~MedCat Herbs~**

All Clans are different. Some may be a bit advanced and may use real herbs and remedies not in the books, others may be traditional.

I recommend you search real herbs, but not making up their uses.

(Pack Only)

Packs are mainly on their own because in the books there wasn't very many of them...

The rules were made up, along with the ranks and ages.

It's hard to describe them for that reason.

*"We are rogues. You have no right to steal any part of the Jagged Peaks. You have no right to set borders. Any cat can take prey where it pleases. We don't show any mercy. We set foot where we please.*
