The Mountain Territories

The mountain territories are the current home to SunClan, AshClan, MoonClan and LichenClan.

## Geography

The territory is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Entry to the territories require passing through a valley in between the mountains. AshClan territory is a large coniferous forest that connects to SunClan's territory which is a lush deciduous forest. On the other side of SunClan territory is MoonClan territory, a vast moorland which leads into a thinner forest, which is mostly more mountainous territory. On the other side is LichenClan territory which is incredibly thick and lush forest.

## Clan Territories

### SunClan

SunClan claims the southwestern part of the territories, with their territory consisting mostly of deciduous forest land. The river borders the edge of their territory leading to the gathering hollow and their border with MoonClan. The river branches off, travelling through their territory near their camp.
