Clans

After fleeing the destruction of the Old Forest, the Clans returned to the Lake.
 * RiverClan
 * ShadowClan
 * ThunderClan
 * WindClan

RiverClan occupies the southwestern part of the Lake. Their camp is on a triangle of land between two streams. It is accesible only by swimming or small stepping stones across the stream, preventing most enemies from attacking the camp itself. The nursery, elders' den, and leaders' den are under dense bramble thickets. The medicine cat's den is underneath a thorn bush overhanging the stream.

ShadowClan's territory against the northwesten side of the Lake. Their forest is filled with pine trees. They are seperated from RiverClan by the Twolegplace and their border with ThunderClan runs through a clearing.Their camp is well-hidden between tangles of low-hangng branches and brambles in a dip between close pine trees, the only safe entrance being a thorn tunnel. The dens are under bramble thickets. The medicine cat den has a sandy hollow covered in pine needles. A hazel branch overhangs much of the camp.

ThunderClan has claimed the oak-filled forest of the northeastern Lakeshore their their own. They have dense undergrowth and short, thick trees. They are seperated from the neighboring WindClan by a stream border, and have found an abandoned quarry in which to camp. The main entrance has been enclosed with thorns to provide a layer of protection. The dens are caves in the rock walls. The nursery is set against the walls, underneath a thick bramble bush. The apprentices', leader's, and medicine cat's den are caves with entrances hidden by bramble tendrils. The warriors have found a dip in the ground under a large beech tree woven with brambles. The elders' den is under the boughs of a beech tree, reinforced with hazel and honeysuckle.

Unlike their fellow Clan cats, WindClan's territory lacks natural protection. They have many rocks on the morr, but few larger enough to provide any real shelter. The camp is in a soft dip in the moor. The nursery is sheltered by a large gorse bush, the medicine cat has a crevice in a boulder for supplies and sick cats, and the elders shelter in an old badger set. The rest of the warriors prefer to sleep under the stars, seeking shelter only in bad weather.
