mallowclan is located in the valley under a mountain, affectionately named the moonpeaks. the clan faces all 4 seasons, with scorching summers and harsh winters. the trees grow tall and there are several rivers in the area where the cats can fish.
a hollow cave further up the mountain holds the star-stream, the small river that flows out of the cave's mouth and what mallowclan cats use to contact starclan. the star-stream is a bit of a journey, about half a day there and back. according to tradition, all apprentices must visit before they become warriors. however, this tradition has fallen down the wayside as the clan has become more fragmented.

much of mallowclan's territory is shrouded in woodlands and undergrowth. there are few spots where the trees break, revealing sunny, hilly clearings. the dirt underfoot is very damp and thick. moss grows in many places, especially along the riverbanks, which the cats use for their nests. upon exploring, there's also the occasional berry bush that apprentices like to snack on. in the camp, the cats sleep under dense ferns that shield them from rain. trees overlook the camp so only beams of sunlight enter the camp. in the center of the camp, a tree that snapped in half moons ago is used for clan meetings and the leader's den. ๐๐๐๐๐

mallowclan's territory is full of animals, both prey and predator. birds like grouse, ducks, owls, hawks, and various songbirds are commonly seen by the cats. rivals like wolverines, foxes, and bobcats are rare yet dangerous for the cats. the land is full of pollinators and other insects as well. prey normally runs very well in the warm seasons, but it can grow scarce in leaf-bare.
