The Silvercrest Roamers are nomadic, and switch locations depending on season. Because of this, the clan has four different locations they stay in dependent upon the season.
Spring;
In the spring, the Silvercrest Roamers will travel north, and make their way to a special forest in the glades. The forest is entirely comprised of pine trees, which with stand the cold temperatures, which are often only slightly above freezing. The dense pine trees give the cats plenty of shelter within, and keep out the harsh rains that come with spring weather. In this forest, the camp is found in the center of the camp, each den found in a clearing where several moss beds are resting within each tree, the clearing the camp is found in surrounded by hollow trees.
Summer;
Summer is the Silvercrest Roamers least favorite season, and in order to get to a colder climate, they will travel into a series of mountains and make their way up to a place near the top, where their dens hang off a cliff. Their only source of food in this climate is the birds that fly high enough to come up to the cliff, as well as the small fish that appear in the streams that run along the sides of the mountains. The camp is found inside of the mountain, in a series of rabbit-like burrows that divide the cats up by rank, with beds made of feathers within them, as moss is rarely found in this altitude.
Autumn;
The Silvercrest Roamers actually temporarily move into a two-leg city for this season. Through an alliance with Rivuletclan, the Silvercrest Roamers own the northern half of the city's sewers during autumn. The cats decided to stay in the city during autumn due to the violence number of insects that come out during autumn, which made the elders and kits uncomfortable. To make these ranks feel more comfortable, they decided to find a place where the leaves and insects were kept to a minimum. The Silvercrest Roamers share Rivuletclan's camp with them, and often fight in the ring to keep a good rep with them.
Winter;
This is the only season where the cats of Silvercrest Roamers don't deliberately go out of their way to find a cold climate. They stay in a normal forest, comprised entirely of large and dense oaks, which are stripped of their leaves each season. However, the denseness of the trees allows the cats to stay protected from blizzards.
Camp Description;
The camp layout for all four of the Silvercrest Roamers territories is the same, at least for the most part. The dens are segregated by rank, with the leader's den at the front of the camp, and the nursery at the back of the camp. This is in the case of an ambush, so the strongest cat, the leader, is in the front line of battle, while the queens and kits have the most time to flee the scene before it gets ugly in the back of camp. Each den has nests made either of moss, leaves, or feathers, depending on which season they are currently in.
The prey pile is actually kept within the medicine den, near the back, as the medicine den is always within a cold cavern. The cold allows for prey to be preserved for long amounts of time, which is the main reason that the Silvercrest Roamers are able to survive in the coldest and most brutal of winter conditions all year round. The camps are also typically formed in an oval formation, with the leader's den being the first on the right, and going clockwise, follows the warriors, apprentices, medics, the nursery, and then the elders den.
