Territories

[Loinfire]

I know that it has been suggested before and there are some territory descriptions however there isn't for all Clans.

I think it would be a good idea to create descriptions of the Clans, so that it is easier for those roleplaying to know their surroundings. Including things such as prey, water supplies and the difference in seasons etc...

For example, some random forest Clan.

Name: UltraCoolForestClan
Territory Location: Forest
Camp Location: A glade in the forest that is rich in berries and other herbs.
Den Materials: Loose branches that have fallen from trees and been intertwined to form a den.
Water Supply: A small stream running through the length of the forest, often dries up in summer, a variety of small pools
Prey: Rabbit, vole, mice, rats, small birds
Leaffall: The forest has leaves of bright oranges, yellows and browns, gradually leaves fall to create a crunchy blanket on the the forest floor. Due to excessive rainfall the water supplies are overflowing and the soil is muddy and trecherous in places.
Leafbare: The forest has shed all its leaves, following sunrise everything is covered in a layer of frost but this melts come sunhigh. Some of the smaller pools freeze over but the stream still runs. Prey is sparse, most preferring to hibernate.
Newleaf: Buds have begun to appear on herbs and plants, eventually they blossom during this season. Prey is fat from hibernation, prey is abundant in this season due to reproduction. The streams and pools usually run fine.
Greenleaf: The leaves are green, all the herbs and plants have blossomed. Prey and water supplies are abundant. During the height of Greenleaf the stream is likely to dry out.

A map would also be a good idea to figure out the relations between the different Clans, territories and Cave Pool, Clan Meeting Place (which I have forgotten the name of...). Even if its a descriptive map I'm sure one of our many members would be able to draw it.

I think this is a good idea

[(Koechee) Scar from the hawk]

yeah. but who would do it?

[Loinfire]

Who would do what?

[Lilypaw]

She means who would post the territories for each clan, I can try and do Pineclan

[Loinfire]

The only ones who can do it are Silverstar and the other Leaders, as they are the staff members who have control over the respective Clans, therefore you can't make decisions on aspects regarding the Clans without first discussing it with them. As such the Leaders for each Clan should be the ones to outline the physical attributes of the territory.

I think that an easy way to do it would for each Leader to create a thread which simply outlines the type of territory, similar to that in the description of the Clan boards, members would then be able to reply to this thread with their suggestions on prey and possible water sources as well as other aspects of the Clan such as Camp location based on the type of territory.

E.g. StreamClan has a river running through it whereas DarkClan is more marsh based, therefore StreamClan has an obvious water source and likley to have fish-based prey and other prey that lives in a river-ecosystem. In comparison DarkClan is likely to have prey more suited to a marshland such as herons, frogs etc.. Whereas DawnClan having been described as a plain is limited to the locations of its Camp and likely to have Camp in a vulnerable place.

There's a problem with that Willowstar hasn't posted in Pineclan since before I joined

[Loinfire]

That's an issue that you should consult Silverstar on regarding activity in Clans and RP-ing and doesn't have any impact on a suggestion for a proposed method in regards to an idea that has not been approved by Silverstar.

[Posiepaw]

I love that idea! Since I usually am confused on information about the clans :3

[Brackenkit]

I can try making a drawn map. But I'd need info about what the clans look like in good description and all of the landmarks. But I think this is a great idea.
