Camp Clearing

Where all ShadowClanners gather to share tongues, eat, and mingle. The dens are situated around the center of camp, facing inwards, and the effect creates quite a homey feeling. The camp is well-guarded and almost never seen, and indeed, from the outside, the cats that laze around on the camp floor are completely invisible for all intents and purposes. The center of camp is where most cats spend their time. The leader delivers their announcements from the same branches that house their den, albeit they move out of their nest to do so.

Leader's Den

Located within sturdy branches that have been clustered together and triple-sealed with mud to form a den, the leader of ShadowClan lives slightly elevated, their home about three feet off the ground on a particularly wide and study tree limb. It's more like a nest than any of the other dens, and unless you look out, some leaders have admitted to completely forgetting they're up in the air. The leader will often personalize the den to make it more comfortable; some with lichen, some with moss, and one notable leader used only feathers. A crack of light can be seen through a narrow opening near the trunk of the tree - the entrance - but otherwise the den itself is quite dark.

Medicine Cat's Den

The medicine cat's den is settled in a small burrow underground, made long ago by a fox, with the herbs resting in dug out 'bowls' in a corner. To protect them from dirt contamination, the bowls are lined with leaves, and the herbs themselves are carefully wrapped. An 'outer den,' of ferns and brush, extend the burrow onto the surface of the earth. This is where the moss nest of the medicine cat lies. Moss bedding and flat tree stumps are also found here in case there are more guests, though severe cases are taken underground and treated directly there in the small space at the back of the den. The entrance is covered by sweet grass, giving a nice aroma, and water is replenished regularly in a hollowed out tree stump, set just outside the entrance to collect rain.

Warrior's Den

A cave built into the corner of the ShadowClan camp is where the warriors den lies. It has many moss beds and even some ledges where cats can sleep if they prefer to be slightly elevated. The covering is shielded by a brush thicket, and it's more than sufficient to keep everyone secure at night. This den is also closest to the entrance, ensuring that the warriors will be the first and quickest to react should the camp come under a surprise attack.

Apprentice's Den

The apprentice's den is just next to the warriors den, and like the elder's den, formed underneath tree roots. Moss overhangs the entrance, and inside it has an incredibly cozy feel. Crevices lay on both sides of the den, releasing rays of light into the dark space. Moss and feather beds can be seen at all corners, and for the most part, the ShadowClan apprentices push their beds to the edges of the den, so as to provide a 'meeting and hanging out space' in the middle. This tends to disappear during winter, when they all cluster together for warmth.

Nursery

The nursery is neatly covered with ferns that provide the effect of insulation and increased warmth for the queens inside. Moss nests heavily lined with feathers provide a soft and comfortable sleep. Three crevices of light appear from the top of the nursery, releasing little bursts of weather that can soothing to queens, partly attributed to the fact that it implies StarClan is watching over them. In worse seasons, though, these crevices are easily patched. The den itself is guarded well from prying eyes by bushes and grass, and is heavily fortified against attacks.

Elders' Den

The elder's den is quite spacious, dug out into a large burrow under tree roots with large moss beds and a square opening. This entrance is barely see-able because of the careful camouflage tactics employed in designing the den. The fresh-kill pile is close, so elders won't have to be walking a long way to satisfy their needs, and they are far enough away from the tunnel entrance that they will not be the first targeted should the camp be attacked.

Board Information & Statistics

Camp
Settled in between a large depression of pine trees, the ShadowClan camp often requires a second, third, or even fourth take to be seen. Ferns and other shrubbery keep it hidden behind layers of leaves, and the inability to pinpoint its exact location is detrimental to invading forces or predators. A large tunnel made out of brush and vines leads from the hollow to the territory, and it is an ingenious thing, appearing as a tangled black mass even to those familiar with it. The pine trees cover most cats who decide to leave camp, shedding the sharp scent of sap and coating the forest floor with pine needles. Dark dirt coated with these needles is the ground for the ShadowClanners; however, grass can be found in large quantities in the summertime, especially in the sunnier spots. Most of the dens for the ShadowClan cats are in caves, burrows underground, or even in decayed tree trunks. Because of the trees, in the winter time most cats don't have to fret about snow plummeting straight into their camp, but they do have to watch out for falling mountains of snow, dropped when the branch can no longer sustain the weight being put upon it. Probably their most clear concern would be twolegs, because their nesting grounds are not as distance as they would have liked.
