ThornClan is one of the Clans of the valley, and while they may not share the wild territories like the others, they still are considered one of them. Thornclaw was a shrewd and cunning leader, clawing his way to the top and making allies with those like minded to share his wonderful ideal of a 'perfect' Clan. Only the wittiest and quickest of thinkers will survive among them.

## Description

ThornClan is known to be one of the most shrewd and manipulative Clans, and whether they are right or wrong, most of the other Clans feel like they must watch what they say or do around a ThornClan cat. They are skilled at manuring over any type of terrain, and are masters of using the world around them to their advantage. No enemy is safe on ThornClan's land, and they're only half as safe in their own territory. They mainly survive on mice, moles, and whatever animals they can find that wander near their foreboding homes.

## Territory

ThornClan had settled inside of the flat fields and abandoned farmhouse of a twoleg settlement. While they are ridiculed for become 'pseduo-kittypets' in the eyes of the other Clans, they hold their heads high and continue to hone their skills. They also share some of the great forests formed outside of ForestClan, and once shared the forest that SmokeClan had claimed until the Great Fire took it from both of them. Using all these varied terrains, they train themselves to be variable and cunning in battle. Landmarks of the territory include:

* ThornClan Camp: ThornClan's camp is inside of the large barn, surrounded by smaller twoleg nests and fences. The cats of ThornClan have learned over the generations to maneuver and even manipulate some of the gates and latches to form their own dens.
* The Woods: The remaining forests that had been taken from ForestClan are now used to practice ThornClan's stalking and tree-climbing. It is also an excellent hunting ground that ThornClan and ForestClan fight over constantly for prey.
* The Vineyards: The vineyards are overgrown gardens filled with wild vegetation and flowers. It is easily navigable, and very pretty. Cats come here a lot to sunbathe or relax, while apprentices like to play games in them.
* The Stone Paths: Winding paths stretch all over the territory out of stone, making it easy for a ThornClan cat to never get lost in their territory.
* The Dead Woods: After the Great Fire, the Clans called them the Deadwoods. The lands are dried and charred, and in the beginning had no use. But as life began to grow there once more, it became a constant battle with SmokeClan over which Clan was going to claim it first.
