Territories

## Northern Forest Territories

### Forest of Illusions

Foggy, wide expanse with moist terrain and tall trees. This forest is relatively large as well, and is one of the brighter locations among the clan’s territory. It tends to be shrouded in constant mist which can make it harder to see in for some, but is bountiful with plenty of prey for the clan. Several long rivers cut across the expanse, and are often cold and rocky, which can easily sweep a cat off of their paws.

Usage: Hunting, Battle Training, Tracking Training, Hunting Training.

### Sunken Lagoon

This area is rather large, and is one of the highlights of the clan of hanging canopies’ territory. It’s a large marshland that is surprisingly clean and comforting, and is filled with lilypads and other flowers which trail across the water. Its rather shallow here, but there are a few deeper parts of the lagoon where a cat is required to swim. Often rare herbs are collected here, but hunting often isn’t too bountiful- its best for events, relaxation, or the collection of herbs by medicine cats.

Usage: Herb Collection, Social Events.

### Inflora Tangle

Small, sloping meadow that is filled with scarlet flowers of all colors. It’s one of the most comforting areas for the clan, and typically is a spot of romance. Its rather private as well, so typically cats aren’t disturbed when they go here alone with a cat that they truly care about. It’s one of the safest places in the territory, and rare herbs are often found here as well. There is a small twoleg cottage near Inflora Tangle, but it has long since been abandoned, and cats often go inside of it to spend the night if need be.

Usage:

### Tadpole Pond

Tadpole pond is a medium-sized pond which is crowded with large stepping stones. Often a lot of frogs can be found here as can lizards, but fish are able to be spotted. The water is incredibly shallow and queens will typically bring their kits here to practice swimming. It’s right outside of camp so it’s typically very safe, and often apprentices come here to hang out as well. It is rumored that if a cat makes a wish here at dawn, then it may come true. Hunting can be done here, but the prey isn’t very savory, so the pond is often used for training.

Usage:

### Iridescent Cavern

Cave like area that is filled with luminous glow worms and overhanging crystals. There is a large pond inside of it where cats often go to swim at night, and usually it isn’t that busy during the daytime. Cats will go here mostly to have fun, and often it is considered a hotspot for divers to hang out at. Rare flowers can be found inside of the cavern too, and despite it being so dark- is actually a source of comfort for many.

Usage:

### Awakening Chasm

This area is a rather misty, foreboding expanse that is filled with overgrown vegetation and shrubbery. Often, cats who wish to prove themselves to others will come here in hopes of catching bountiful prey for the clan. It’s oddly a relatively frightening area and is easy to get lost in, so typically cats never come here alone. Apprentices go here to undergo rigorous, tough and sometimes potentially dangerous training, and only the most challenging mentors hold their assessments here.

Usage:

### Spectral Underpass

Short underpass which nests to the left of the clan’s territory. It’s also a darker forest, but vibrant willow trees crowd the expanse, as do fireflies and bubbling rivers. The grasses here are long, and lots of flowers which grow in the darkness flourish here. Often, fish here are bountiful, and cats usually return back to camp with some rather impressive catches. It is rumored that visiting spirits like to linger in this area.

Usage:

### Altar of Hope

This area is surrounded by water on all sides, which often holds an almost ethereal hue. It rests close by camp, and can be accessed outside of the clan’s main forest. Multiple mossy pillars hold the altar up, and its considered as a structure that was abandoned by mankind many moons ago. There’s a small step of stairs that leads up towards it, but a cat must swim if they wish to reach the altar. Multiple stones fill up the inside, and each of them represent one of the clan’s past leaders, even if a few of them committed wrongdoings during their reign. It is considered to be a holy place, but also holds corruption as well if a prophet contacts a spirit with malicious intent.

Usage:

### Glimwood Navel

Long, winding forest that is filled with glowing mushrooms. This woodland is right next to camp, and is what felines immediately see upon exiting their home. It is one of the clan’s primary hunting grounds, as they adapt better to darkness when it comes to certain activities. Low, drooping canopies fill this area, and mostly blot off the sun’s harsh heat. The main source of light relates to the multiple mushrooms that crowd the forest, and several cool, deep pools also fill a few corners, to which useful wetland herbs and lotus flowers can be found. There are a few fallen trees within the navel as well, which are often used as hiding places for both prey and felines.
