in the heart of Appalachia

Nestled neatly in a wooded vale is a small
clan of cats who call themselves HearthClan.
They are quiet folk who keep to themselves.

Quick of wit and stout of heart, these cats are
proud to call the forests of Appalachia their
home. They say the mountains themselves
called them together...

The same mountains will tear them apart.

██For moons, a nightmare haunted HearthClan's shadows.
Known as the Harvester, it was first simply a kit's tale until
cats began to go missing beneath its claws. The legend be-
came real, but being real meant it could be defeated. The
creature's defeat was not without sacrifice, however. The
former leader, Goldenstar, was dragged down with the
Harvester as the beast was lured into the gorge and dragged
downstream into the gnashing of foam and pointed rocks.

Now, the clan is divided. Many cats want to leave the
territory, still haunted in the Harvester's wake. Others want
to stay in their ancestral home. Tensions are thickening, and
the bond that holds the clan together is threatening to break.

The heart of HearthClan's territory is nestled in a shallow valley between two mountains. The area is heavily wooded
with occasional grassy meadows. Creeks and waterfalls dot the steeper terrain, particularly on the mountain edges of
the territory. A central river cuts through the lowest point of the valley, calmer than its feeder creeks but nonetheless
swift and dangerous to an unwary cat.

The camp is built around HearthClan's namesake: a crumbling stack of smooth red stones that is rumored to once have
been part of a two-leg nest. The first leader, a former loner, called the strange structure a hearth, thus giving the clan
its peculiar name. Announcements are given from the shelf of the hearth, and in a shallow alcove carved into the red
stones, the leader sleeps. At the base of the structure is the nursery, shielded by a woven wall of bracken and brambles.
The warrior's and apprentice's dens are off to the side, settled underneath a pair of overgrown blueberry bushes. Dug
beneath the stone wall beside the hearth is an old rabbit burrow making up the medicine cat den as well as the elder's
den. A sandy-soiled dip a few taillengths from the camp makes a good place for kits to play while their mothers rest.

To speak with StarClan, the medicine cat must journey up the rocky mountain faces and to the highest peak. There, in
the soft grass and rhododendron blossoms, sharp stones jut skyward from the earth. They are called the Standing Stones,
and medicine cats and new leaders sleep at the rock's base to speak with their ancestors.
