Night. if you are willing to go out in the forest for that. You can catch prey such as fish, those of which a most common, so are birds. NightClan camp includes several dens.
Leader,
Warrior,
Apprentice,
Elder,
Nursery,
Medicine cat, and of course the
Prisoner's den just in case. The leader's den is where Spiritstar sleeps, it was carved out many years ago by a stream that flowed through territory when no cats were around. One day, that stream dried up revealing a lovely den with enough room to fit many cats just in case. The den is located higher among the rocks, so it is safe from floods. The warrior's den is where all cats at chose to become warriors sleep after they turn 12 moons of age. If you do not choose to become a warrior you may just be a medicine cat, and retired warriors become elders. She-cats that are warriors with kits stay in the nursery until their kits are apprenticed. The deputy sleeps in the warrior's den, as well. The apprentices den is where cats usually age 6-12 moons stay until they are to become warriors. Their mentors will usually be a warrior, unless that apprentice chooses to follow the path of a medicine cat. Warriors may switch as well, if StarClan agrees to this. The elder's den is where retired cats or cats who cannot fulfill their warrior or medicine cat duties stay. Sometimes cats with uncontrollable coughs will go there early, for example. Kits like to listen to the elder's stories, for elders must pass on their knowledge to younger cats, keeping the history of NightClan alive. The nursery is where kits, cats under the age of 6 moons, or queens, pregnant or nursing cats, stay. Kits with disabilities, such as a crooked jaw for instance, may be held back on their apprenticeship until a while. Once kits become apprentices, they will graduate to the apprentice's den, and queens will go back to the warrior's den once their kits become apprentices, as well. Kits are not allowed out of camp, because dangers could be waiting for them in the forest, very dangerous predators. Medicine cats are trained to heal sick or injured cats, and know all of the herbs and remedies. They are usually the ones to receive omens, that or leaders. Medicine cats from all of the five clans will meet at
moonstone every half-moon to share tongues with StarClan and receive prophecies, or discuss with other medicine cats. Leaders may go if they need to whenever they want, as well. Apprentices becoming warriors will go too, but usually only that one time, and leaders go to receive nine lives. The prisoner's den is used just in case there are any prisoners, and will be guarded by experienced warriors so that the cat cannot escape. The prisoner's den was only recently found when Spiritstar had found that the tree had fallen during NightClan's fire just moons ago. The tree had been hollowed out by ash, creating a small space, just enough to fit up to 5 cats. The
Outlook rock is a large stone just outside the camp. When apprentices are not training or helping others, they will usually go to the outlook rock to look for predators or fighting patrols. If they see or scent one, they will yowl and the cry will echo throughout camp. The outlook rock is adjacent to the highledge, on the top of camp just about over the leader's den very high up. Since NightClan's camp is a dip in the ground with huge rocks surrounding it, echoes bounce off the walls. The place where apprentices go to train is known as the
Burnt sycamore, an ancient tree carved out many moons ago by fire, it is one of the oldest trees but the
Great oak tree is even older, and squirrels as well as many types of birds can be hunted around there.
