there is always a price.
every clan cat's life revolves around that simple phrase, whether they know it or not. why, those words are the backbone of the warrior code; they keep warriors from stealing prey, trespassing on enemy territory, and killing without reason. how can such a simple phrase moderate the actions of an entire forest of cats? simple -- they are aware that if they do wrong, there will be retribution. that is the way it has always been, and should always remain.
however, now there is a warrior -- no, not just a warrior, a leader -- who challenges this basic law. when cats do wrong, they are rarely punished; when a warrior is disrespectful to a superior, the only consequence is a mild scolding. this leader disregards boundaries, both physical and metaphorical, and is then enraged when enemy clans try to remind him of the law that he is constantly breaking. the worst thing is, it is not only the ruler who is ignoring the warrior code -- the rest of his clan is being led astray by his leadership as well.
what is the name of this pathetic excuse for a leader? ravenstar.
up until recently, the clans have managed to tolerate the actions of the jet-black tom and his so-called clan, but after being lectured by him at a gathering, they have reached their breaking point. determined to teach thunderclan a lesson, windclan, riverclan and shadowclan are collaborating in an attempt to right the thunderclanner's wrongs once and for all. how do they plan to do that? simple -- kill ravenstar and demolish his clan.
however, as if three clans weren't enough to destroy thunderclan, riverclan sent a warrior to fetch bloodclan from the old twolegplace with a message explaining the situation. icefire, who became the leader of bloodclan after the untimely demise of the deputy and her father, has agreed to help the three clans weed out the code-violators under one condition -- it is her clan that gets to destroy ravenstar. it was decided that icefire's condition was a reasonable one -- after all, ravenstar did murder her father, so it was only fair that the bloodclan cats wanted revenge.
now, as thunderclan's day of reckoning creeps closer and closer, the medicine cats of riverclan, windclan and shadowclan are receiving messages from starclan. however, these messages aren't an attempt to dissuade the clans; rather, they are encouraging them to carry out their plan, even if it does involve involve the atheist bloodclan.
after all, even starclan can't ignore the fact that there is always a price to pay.

Thunderclan Camp The camp, which is located inside the rectangular pit made by stone-digging twoleg monsters decades before the cats discovered it, is the most vital piece of ThunderClan territory. Being such, the ThunderClanners have taken quite a few measures to make sure that their home is secure, such as stuffing all of the entrances with a tangle of brambles. Then again, perhaps these fortifications weren't necessary -- after all, the camp is surrounded by towering stone walls. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Old Thunderpath An old abandoned Thunderpath that snakes through ThunderClan territory. There isn't much prey to be found here, for the faded-but-still-present stench of twoleg monsters scares most small animals away. However, there are a few herbs which poke out of the cracks in the Thunderpath's asphalt. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Abandoned Twoleg Nest This is an old twoleg nest abandoned seasons ago. A large supply of catmint can be found growing beneath the nest's single, grimy window, a resource that is invaluable to the medicine cats. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Ancient Oak The Ancient Oak is a huge, gnarled tree that towers above all the other oaks found within Thunderclan territory. It is the most prominent member of a thick band of trees that borders ThunderClan's bit of the lake. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Stream The stream is a tiny, gurgling thing that marks the borderline between Thunderclan and Windclan territory. It isn't wide or deep enough to provide a home for fish, but there is still some prey to be found here in the form of water voles. However, it is a hunting site many cats avoid due to its proximity to an enemy Clan. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Windclan Territory
WindClan Camp In the heart of WindClan territory, there is a shallow dip in the ground that marks the WindClan camp. There are no brambles, stone walls or bushes to mark the home of the moor-dwelling cats -- in fact, if it wasn't for the sweet, grassy scent of WindClan that saturates the air around the camp, one probably wouldn't be able to discern it from the rest of the territory. However, don't think that this lack of fortification makes the WindClanners weak -- the lack of cover allows the warriors to spy trespassers before they even set a paw on WindClan land, and the lack of obvious defenses makes the camp nearly invisible.
The WindClanners don't use dens, as they prefer to sleep outside, where their warrior ancestors can watch over them as they rest. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Moonpool The Moonpool is a shallow pool where medicine cats go to communicate with StarClan. No cat knows exactly what the Medicine Cats do to get in touch with their ancestors, but most believe that it has something to do with the pool's odd-tasting water...
Even though this piece of land technically belongs to WindClan, since it is a sacred site, the WindClanners must allow the other Clans to access it.
Broken Half-Bridge This is nothing but a rickety old bridge that stretches out into the lake. Not many cats dare to go here because of the bridge's dilapidated state, but some -- mostly young, reckless warriors -- do so to earn respect. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Twoleg-Place This bit of land is taken up by a large, red barn that it teeming with twolegs. The infestation of humans makes it virtually useless to the WindClanners, but there have been a few brave warriors who ventured there in search of prey...
Horse-Place This is located in Windclan territory, inside the Twoleg-Place. Large animals called horses can be found here. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Riverclan Territory
RiverClan Camp The RiverClan camp is an island which is situated in the center of the Clan's namesake -- the river. The edges of aforementioned island are fringed with thick stands of river reeds and sprinkled with boulders, which makes the outside of the RiverClanner's home look rather austere. However, behind the veil of reeds there lies a large camp carpeted by long, lush grass and sprinkled with small willow trees. Needless to say, the RiverClan warriors are quite proud to call it their home. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Bluebird Stream Bluebird Stream is a small body of water that branches off from the larger river. Although it is small width-wise, it is deceptively deep, and when it's flooded it can present a challenge to even the strongest swimmer.
Despite the risks involved, Bluebird Stream is still a valuable chunk of land because of the wealth of healing herbs that grow on its banks. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Boulder Pile The Boulder Pile is exactly what its name implies -- a pile of boulders. It is somewhat like ThunderClan's Sunningrocks back in the old forest, but on a smaller scale. However, what the Boulder Pile lacks in size, it makes up for in height -- any cat sunning on top of the pile can survey a good chunk of RiverClan's territory, due to the fact that most of the RiverClanner's territory is comprised of long, thick grasses, small groves of willows, and the occasional patch of river reeds. Because of the view that it offers, it is often utilized by patrols that want a quick way to spot intruders. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Greenleaf Twoleg-Place Near the half-bridge in RiverClan territory, there is a place known as the "Greenleaf Twoleg-Place". In Newleaf, Leaffall, and Leafbare, it is nothing but a large stretch of grass. However, every Greenleaf it is overrun by Clans of Twolegs that live in flimsy green nests. During this time, the RiverClanners are forced to steer shy of this patch of land. It's not too big of a loss -- after all, RiverClan still has their river, which is their main source of prey -- but it is still an annoyance, for its location makes it hard to patrol the easternmost RiverClan border. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

RiverClan Half-Bridge RiverClan, like WindClan, has a half-bridge that juts out into the lake by their eastern border. However, unlike WindClan's half-bridge, this one isn't broken. Since the structure is still intact, during Greenleaf there are Twolegs that will use it to dock their water-monsters, which the RiverClanners know are called "boats".
This bit of land isn't of much use in Greenleaf or Newleaf, but when the river begins to ice over in late Leaffall, the warriors of RiverClan can try their luck at plucking a fish out of the hard-to-freeze lake. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Shadowclan Territory
ShadowClan Camp The ShadowClanners' camp can be found in the most densely wooded part of their pine forest. It is located in a shallow scoop in the ground, rather like the WindClan camp is. However, unlike the barrier-less WindClan camp, the ShadowClanners' home is protected by a thick wall of brambles that is virtually impossible to breach. The interior of the camp is carpeted by a soft, thick layer of pine needles. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Starless Grove Starless Grove is...well...a grove. The pine trees that comprise it are packed so tightly together that if one was to look up, they would not see anything but the prickly green branches of spruce trees.
Starless Grove is a great place to go hunting due to the large bird population that dwells within the grove's thick canopy. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Twoleg Path A path which Twolegs frequent in Greenleaf. Although it is sparse in prey, an abundance of healing herbs grow by the trees that grow along the path. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Clearing This is a large, treeless clearing that is found in the middle of ShadowClan territory. Despite the lack of cover, the area is actually abundant in prey. This is probably because there is a patch of bushes just outside the clearing which provides a home for small mammals and thrushes.
The Clearing is often used as a training area for apprentices. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Greenleaf Twoleg-Place Like in RiverClan, this is a small section of ShadowClan territory where Twoleg kits come to "live" with their parents. This greatly annoys the ShadowClanners, for even though the territory is only used for one season out of four, it make it much more difficult to access the wealth of healing herbs that grow by the lake.

Bloodclan Territory
BloodClan Camp After they agreed to help RiverClan, WindClan and ShadowClan with their plan to destroy ThunderClan, RiverClan allowed BloodClan to take up residence in a small valley that borders their territory. Icefire, the leader of BloodClan, has set up a camp [iceh, finish this as you wish] Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

The Valley All of BloodClan territory is located in a thickly forested valley. The mountains that make up the valley walls help keep the unmistakable reek of BloodClan from wafting over to the ThunderClanners.
Anyway, enough of that. This particular part of the valley is densely forested, making it a home to many small mammals and birds. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

0
Singing Plains The Singing Plains are located just beyond the borders of the valley. The BloodClanners say they "sing" because when the wind whispers through the long grasses, it produces a high-pitched whistling noise that is quite disturbing when heard at night.
The plains are great when it comes to finding exotic herbs. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

City Even though the Clans have granted BloodClan a generous share of land, many BloodClanners aren't satisfied with life by the lake and so make frequent visits to their original home, the city. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.

Twoleg Alley This alley is the BloodClanners' city version of a camp. Although it is quite filthy, many of the BloodClan cats love it even better then their valley home. They have good reason to, too -- what the alley lacks in cleanliness it make up for in easy meals [read: rats]. Moderators: Icefire, ___creamwhisker.
