Shared Territory
Fourtrees
In a clearing at the center of the forest, where all four Clan territories converge, there is a space sacred to StarClan. Four great oaks stand at the corners of the clearing. At one end is a large boulder called the Great Rock, where the CLan leaders stand during Gatherings. Every month, at the full moon, cats from all four Clans gather here in peace for one night to share the news of the forest.
Highstones
Far to the north of WindClan's territory, across a dangerous Thunderpath, there is a range of mountains known to the cats as Highstones. Deep inside a cave in the mountain lies the Moonstone, a glowing rock turned to silver buy the moonlight. THis is where cats from all the CLans must go to communicate with StarClan. Leaders travel here to receive their nine lives and their warrior name. Medicine cats visit the Moonstone together once a month at the half-moon, to trade remedies and share tongues with StarClan.
ThunderClan Territory
ThunderClan Camp
Sheltered at the foot of a sandy ravine and well protected by thornbushes, this camp is hard to attack and easy to defend.
Tallpines
Watch out for the Twoleg tree-eater! It makes the ground rumble and leaves deep gullies that fill with muddy water.
Great Sycamore
Its branches are thick and strong all the way to the ends. Young apprentices learn to climb here and dare one another to climb higher.
Owl-Tree
Halfway up the trunk is a hole that is home to a tawny owl that flies out a night. Legend has it that an early ThunderClan apprentice learned the secrets of night hunting from one such owl. Every night, as the moon rose, he would wait at the foot of the Owl-Tree. When the owl swooped out, he followed, like the owl's shadow cast by the moon on the ground. Eventually this bold young apprentice became a great leader known as Owlstar. In the hunt, he was as silent and deadly as the tawny owl.
Sunningrocks
A warm spot in the sunshine. Keep a sharp eye out for prey darting between the cracks! Many moons ago, when the river was much wider than it is now, Sunningrocks was an island. Only RiverClan cats could swim out to it. Then the water dropped, and Sunningrocks became part of the forest shore, so ThunderClan claimed it. They did not allow RiverClan cats to cross their territory to reach it. Since then, many battles have been fought between the two Clans over these smooth, sun-warmed stones.
Snakerocks
Beware poisonous adders! Chervil grows abundantly here. The caves beneath the rocks provide shelter for dangerous animals, like foxes, badgers- and even dogs.
Sandy Hollow
A training hollow surrounded by trees. Warrior apprentices are unlikely to hurt themselves on the soft ground.
Twolegplace
A maze of small Thunderpaths and Twoleg dens. There are two different kinds of cats in Twolegplace: loners and kittypets.
WindClan Territory
WindClan Camp
Tucked into a natural dip in the sandy moor, this camp is sheltered from the wind but has proved vulnerable to attack.
Abandoned badger set
WindClan apprentices used to come here to learn the scent of badger. Now a great spot for hunting rabbits!
The gorge
WindClan elders boast that they leaped all the way across in their youth, but apprentices are strictly forbidden to go too close.
Twoleg farm
Cows, sheep, dogs, Twolegs, and two loner cats named Barley and Ravenpaw live here. WindClan sheltered in the barn on their way home from exile.
Outlook Rock
This large, flat gray stone slopes steeply above the level moors. From here, you can spot movement far across the grassland, especially a slow-moving or brightly colored cat from another Clan. WindClan apprentices are assigned to Outlook Rock to test their alertness and guard-duty skills.
RiverClan Territory
RiverClan Camp
This well-drained island is circled by gently rustling reeds instead of thorns, but the other Clans' hatred of water means that it has never been attacked.
The gorge
See WindClan Territory
The river
It is a source of prey and protection to RiverClan, yet it is as changeable as the moon. Sometimes it is quiet, gentle, and murmuring, but sometimes it froths and roars like a Twoleg monster.
Twoleg bridge
A safe way to cross the river and get to Fourtrees when the water is high.
ShadowClan Territory
ShadowClan Camp
A dark, well-concealed hollow, the camp is hidden deep in the shadows and is surrounded by brambles as prickly and fierce as the hearts of ShadowClan warriors.
Carrionplace
Yuck! Smell that? This is an evil place where rats and disease lurk.
Thunderpath tunnel
The ability of ShadowClan cats to move freely across the most feared border of the Thunderpath has enhanced their reputation for mysterious strength and invincibility.
Burnt Sycamore
An ancient tree destroyed by lighting many moons ago. Apprentices are often trained here to hunt at night and stalk noiselessly through the undergrowth.

[ quotes ]
After a few moments, Spottedleaf lowered her head and turned to Bluestar. "It was a message from StarClan," she murmured. A distant look came into her eyes. "Fire alone can save our Clan."
-Spottedleaf
Into the Wild; pg 5
"You speak from your heart, young Firepaw. This will make you a stronger warrior one day."
-Lionheart
Into the Wild; pg 60
"Well, I'm more lopsided than a one-legged badger," mewed Graypaw, breaking off from his careful stalking to stagger comically across the clearing. "I think I'll have to settle for hunting stupid mice. They won't stand a chance. I shall just wander up to them and sit on them till they surrender."
-Graypaw (Graystripe)
Into the Wild; pg 68
"I hope he has them chasing blue squirrels all day!" Graystripe hissed to Fireheart as they headed toward the corner where a few pieces of fresh-kill remained from last night. "But there aren't any blue squirrels," Fireheart mewed in confusion.
"Precisely!" Graystripe's amber eyes gleamed.
- Graystripe and Fireheart
Fire and Ice; pg 8
"You idiot!" she spat, flattening her ears. "What are you doing in my territory?"
"Drowning?" replied Graystripe.
The silver tabby flicked her ears, and Fireheart saw a glimmer of amusement in her eyes. "Can't you drown yourself in your own territory?"
Graystripe's whiskers twitched. "Ah, but who would rescue me there?" he rasped.
- Graystripe and Silverstream
Fire and Ice; pg 129
Graystripe lowered his voice. "Stay out of it, will you?" he spat. "I'm going to keep on seeing her, whatever you do or say."
- Graystripe
Fire and Ice; pg 185
"Do you think Spottedleaf would have been able to save these cats?" she meowed unexpectedly, raising her head to meet his gaze.
-Yellowfang
Fire and Ice; pg 197
"I'm never going to be a warrior, am I?"
- Cinderpaw
Fire and Ice Pg. 233
"If it carries Fireheart's blood, it'll make a good Clan cat."
- Graystripe
Fire and Ice; pg 224
"It's not his last life," she rasped, "and even if it were, I couldn't kill him."
"Why not? StarClan would honor you for it." Fireheart could not believe her words. The name Brokenstar had always made this old she-cat bristle with rage. Yellowfang dragged her gaze from Brokenstar and looked at Fireheart. Her eyes clouded with pain and grief as she murmured, "He is my son."
- Yellowfang and Fireheart
Fire and Ice; pg 268
"Remember, Fireheart. Water can quench fire."
- Spottedleaf
Forest of Secrets; pg 41
"Traitors and kittypets! Is there no decent cat left in this Clan?"
- Darkstripe
Forest of Secrets; pg 249
"I'm going to kill you, and kill you again. As many times as it takes for you to join StarClan forever. It's time for me to lead this Clan!"
- Tigerclaw
Forest of Secrets; pg 274
"Keep your eyes open, Fireheart. Keep your ears pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one day I'll find you, and then you'll be crowfood."
- Tigerclaw
Forest of Secrets; pg 289
"Haven't you noticed?"
"Noticed what?"
Cinderpelt opened her eyes and lifted her head. "Fireheart, every cat in the Clan can see the Sandstorm is very, very fond of you!"
- Cinderpelt and Fireheart
Rising Storm; pg 155
"Thank you for bringing me to ThunderClan. Tell Bluestar I have always been grateful for the home she gave me. This is a good place to die. I only regret that I will miss watching you become what StarClan has destined you to be."
- Yellowfang
Rising Storm; pg 282
Fireheart watched as Cloudtail turned her away from the terrible sight and covered the injured side of her face with slow, gentle licks. "You're still beautiful to me" he told her. "You always will be"
- Lostface (Brightheart) and Cloudtail
A Dangerous Path; pg 264
"Fire will save the Clan," she murmured, and Fireheart remembered the mysterious prophecy that he had heard from his earliest days in ThunderClan. "You never understood, did you?" Bluestar went on. "Not even when I gave you your apprentice name, Firepaw. And I doubted it myself, when fire raged through our camp. Yet I see the truth now. Fireheart, you are the fire who will save ThunderClan."
- Bluestar
A Dangerous Path; pg 311
"You will be a great leader." Bluestar's voice was the merest whisper. "One of the greatest the forest has ever known. You will have the warmth of fire to protect your Clan and the fierceness of fire to defend it. You will be Firestar, the light of ThunderClan."
- Bluestar
A Dangerous Path; pg 311
"Can I trust you?" Firestar blurted out suddenly. The young cat didn't rush to defend himself Instead Bramblepaw held him with that serious gaze for a moment more.
"Can I trust you?
- Firestar and Bramblepaw (Brambleclaw)
The Darkest Hour; pg 83
"Join you?" Bramblepaw growled. He paused, swallowing as he fought to control his anger. When he spoke again his words rang out clearly so that every cat in the clearing could hear him. "Join you?" he repeated. "After everything you've done? I'd rather die!"
- Bramblepaw
The Darkest Hour; pg ?
"This is not my Clan." Darkstripe hissed scornfully. "Not any longer. ThunderClan is led by a kittypet, and there's nothing left to fight for. I feel no loyalty to ThunderClan. In the whole forest, the only cat worth following is Tigerstar."
- Darkstripe
The Darkest Hour; pg ?
"Honestly!" she exclaimed as she spat out the last of them and shot an exasperated glance at Brambleclaw. "Do you toms do anything but argue?"
"It's what they do best," Tawnypelt mewed, a gleam of amusement in her eyes.
- Feathertail and Tawnypelt
Midnight; pg 205
"I've changed my mind," Squirrelpaw announced as Brambleclaw squeezed his way along the ledge. "I don't want to be a squirrel anymore. I'd rather be a bird!"
- Squirrelpaw
Moonrise; pg. 62
"I'm not frightened of joining StarClan." Crowpaw spat back. "The forest is dying anyway. At least in StarClan, Feathertail will be waiting for me!"
- Crowpaw
Dawn; pg 180
"I would like to choose my own warrior name. If it is alright, I wish to be known as Crowfeather." Crowpaw spoke so quietly, his voice was almost lost in the pounding water. "I wish to keep alive the memory of... of the cat who did not return from the first journey."
- Crowpaw
Dawn; pg 316
"Oh, Brambleclaw," she breathed. "My heart is with ThunderClan; don't you know that?" She lightly brushed her tail along his flank. "My heart is with you."
- Squirrelpaw
Dawn; pg 323
"Don't you know how I feel about you? And how much I hate myself for feeling that way about another cat so soon after Feathertail's death? I loved her, I really did! How can I love you too?"
"Me? But--"
"You walk in my dreams, Leafpool," Crowfeather whispered.
- Crowfeather and Leafpool
Starlight; pg 311
