I am slowly compiling information about each cat species featured in this RP and maybe even other wild cat species. My data will be posted here.

A massive baobab tree stands tall and in the center of it all. This tree is mangled and charred from countless lightning strikes, but it is some how still growing. It is the only true territory marker that divides the clans, it marks the point where all four of the clan’s territory meet. Leaders, deputies and a few chosen warriors from each clan will gather here in a temporary truce every full moon.

In a part of the Outlands there is a cave full of small crystals that glow eerily from an unknown internal light source. Enter the cave and follow the path into its depths and you will find a huge crystal that glows with a brilliant light when the moon strikes it from the thin cracks in the cave ceilings. Leaders, deputies and medicine cats have discovered that they can talk to strange, ghostly cats, who call themselves Starclan cats with this crystal. These Starclan cats have the ability to turn deputies into leaders, and tell of future events and prophecies.

The Cheetahclan Camp lies in a small cluster of trees that provide shade for much of the day. The area was once a small lake, but it is now dry and does not hold water. Generations of pawsteps has made is so little grass grows in the clearing.

The clan called the Cheetahclan as claimed a flat, open savanna. The golden grass grows high, usually above the heads of the cheetahs. To compensate for that, the Cheetahclan has learned that the termite mounds that are scattered all across the territory make for good lookout posts. This land is prone to drought, but there are a few watering holes were water is available and prey congregates.

The Lionclan camp is located in a shallow, rocky canyon. The rocks jet in and out from the canyon walls, forming many shallow openings and dens. The soil here is rocky, so little vegetation grows in camp. The leader addresses the clan from an exceptionally large rock that jets out from the canyon wall, and hovers about a tail-length above a cat's head.

The Lionclan has claimed the rocky brushland bordering the Cheetahclan and Tigerclan. Not many trees grow here, but the thorny brush provides adequate shade. A murky river snakes its way through the territory, providing water, but also the danger of crocodiles. Prey here is usually fairly decent, but the crocodiles have been known to pick off some of the Lionclan's prey and even a few of its members as they come to the river for a drink.

The Tigerclan Camp resides in a small rocky dip in the land, near the river, in the center of the territory. The rocky area provides many openings for dens. The leader addresses the clan from the center of the camp, which is raised slightly above the rest of the camp. A large tree is growing close to the center of camp, providing weather protection to the camp.

The members of the Tigerclan have claimed a territory different from the savannas of the Cheetah and Lionclans. The favored the dense, humid green of the tropical forest. Water and prey is found in abundance here, but that doesn't mean that the jungle doesn't pose threats of its own. The land here is dense and dark, meaning one could easily loose their way if they do not know their way.

The Leopardclan camp is a small clearing in the center of the Shadowed Wood. The area is flat and open and dens are usually dug out at the base of trees. The leader addresses the clan from the low-hanging branches of the largest tree surrounding the camp.

The Leopardclan territory is definitely the most diverse territory among the clans. This territory does not consist of one or two different terrain types, but rather four drastically different terrains. There is a savanna much like that of the Cheetahclan, a tropical forest much like that of the Tigerclan, a denser, darker forest, then the frozen tip of a the mountain. The water and prey varies depending on the terrain you are in, but overall the prey output of the Leopardclan is pretty good.

This is no cat’s land, no cheetah in their right mind would want to be seen here when there are lions. This is the unofficial border between the Cheetahclan and Lionclan. It is a dry riverbed, flat and open, no grass grows here, so one can easily be seen.

An eerie place for the Cheetahclan, this place seems to absorb noise, so nothing is heard here. Not the rustle of the grass, squawking of birds, nothing, only silence. Leopardclan territory lies just beyond here, adding to the mystery of the area.

From the Lionclan territory, the land slopes steeply upward into the Tigerclan territory, earning the cliff it's name. The cliff is difficult to climb, but if one is determined enough, you can scale it to reach the Tigerclan territory.

This is the unofficial boundary between the Leopardclan and Tigerclan. A fault line separates the two clans, a thin fissure that is seemingly bottomless. The fault has been dormant for many, many, moons, so the cats believe that there is no chance for an earthquake. Let's hope they're right.

The Outlands are areas surrounding the clan territory that has not been claimed by a clan, because the land is undesirable. It is barren and hot and lacks prey and water. Cats who are not part of a clan are banished here, and only the strong last long.

Named for the mysterious, eerie meowing sounds that are occasionally heard here, Mew’s Canyon is a very creepy place. It is a large canyon that divides the land, and a strange, thick white mist always hangs around, making visibility low. Inanimate objects seem to move in the mist and eerie noises are heard.

The Boneyard is a dark, depressing place. Bones of many animals, both cat and prey alike, are found here scattered across the horizon. The sick come here to die and the desperate come here to eat anything that has recently died.

A large lake once make the Outlands a pleasant place, but it has long since dried up. The thick muddy clay that rested at the lake bottom is all that is left of this once glorious time. It to has dried, and it is so hard that numerous cracks have split the area like small scars that will never fully heal. The land is flat, open and wide, with no places to hide.

This is the hottest and driest area in the Outlands. The area is ruthless, it is flat and open with no shade or water what so ever available to those passing. The land earned it’s name because many cats dehydrate, overheat, or die in a short amount of time.

This is truly a gift from Starclan to the Outlander cats. This area supplies food, water, and shelter to those lost and wandering aimlessly through the Outlands. It is nothing like territories the clans have claimed, just a small area with patchy spots of grass that prey feeds on, a small watering hole and a few trees, but to an Outlander, it is paradise. A place to rest and truly be able to relax. This area has been the start of wars between Outlanders, who wish to claim it as their own.
