TERRITORY OVERVIEW
IceClan's territory is located in a mountain range covered with pine forests.

• Camp - Nestled between two mountains, the camp is quite protected from attackers. Trees grow along the edge, further concealing the living space. The actual camp is slightly dim, and the dens are either made of stone or pine branches, or a mixture of both.
• Highstone - A small rock spire located in front of the leader's den. This rock formation is used to make announcements to the Clan.
• Borders - IceClan borders both TreeClan and FireClan, and it's third side borders the loner territory, which it's marked by a Thunderpath. The Thunderpath is a road made by twolegs, busy during the summertime and extremely dangerous.
• River - A popular, well known area, the river starts at the base of the mountains and curves around the territory. The river flows partly into RockClan territory and over the cliff in a waterfall. A nice, beautiful place to cool off or take a swim, or even hunt and fish.
• The Falls - The waterfalls in IceClan's territory aren't as magnificent as the one that falls off RockClan's cliff, but it's still a pretty place to cool off and to enjoy yourself. The group of waterfalls each fall into a pool, which leads on to the river. They're slightly hard to find, hidden in the mountains, but all you have to do is follow the river upstream.
• High Peak - A steep, rocky mountain peak, the highest in the range. It's very dangerous but a good place to go sightseeing if your up for it, for it has a beautiful view. The start of the climb is easy and a fun activity, but it gets harder near the top, and more dangerous.
• Stepping Stones - These are large, flat rocks used for crossing IceClan's river. There is no another way to cross unless your willing to swim. They can serve as a good place to jump into the water for a little swim, or perhaps to fish.

• Swimming Pool - A small, slow-moving, deep pool off the side of the river with a sandy bank, nice for lounging in the cool shade. The only fish here reside at the bottom of the pool, so unless your willing to dive under water and hold your breath, it's unlikely you'll find much.
• Grassy Clearing - An area clear of any trees, mostly used for battle training or practicing. Prey sometimes comes here, but the area is covered with the scent of cats so most prey is driven away. It can also be used as a place to laze around, as it's cushioned with healthy grass and laced with bright sunlight.
• Fishing Rocks - Large stones that border the river along one section. They're usually used for fishing, but can also be used by older cats (or young) for sunbathing.
