The ideas I am seeing so far are looking nice! Hopefully, I will have more to comment on if needed.
Alright here they are!
So, I was attempting to come up with some possible territory ideas. I have come up with at least one for each kingdom, and it is up to you if you want to use, modify, etc. The names are not official. These are just placeholders so I can explain my thoughts better. I also have a couple of comments about ranks, which I will add before getting into territories. There is also a possible area that could be used in any territory, but there will be information about it below.
Rank Comments
I am not sure about deputies being refer to as the councils. Whenever I hear the name, it feels more like an overall title for all the high ranks that the cats would call them as together they help shape and bring order to their kingdoms. A few suggestions could be advisers, envoys, and maybe ambassadors. That is all I have so far regarding that.
This rank I am rather unsure about, but I figure I would add it to see what you all thought. I notice in kingdoms there was someone called a Jester. A Jester here would still hold some of the same purpose, which is to act as the kingdoms’ entertainment. These cats’ comedic nature is meant to help ease the tension that the high ranks and other members might have. They could also be used as peacekeepers/therapists as the members could go to them for problems to vent out. Some might even tell them secrets. I guess depending on the secret, if it is dangerous to the kingdom, then it should be reported such as talks about a war, but otherwise they are meant to keep their mouth shut. They would be able to do other things in the clan such as hunt and fight or even act as messengers to deliver messages to other lands.
Timberland
There is a forest or section of an existing forest shrouded in mystery. The area is full of overgrowth from the grass and other plant life below to the large amounted of trees near each other. The results have allowed many animals to come and take shelter here making it an excellent hunting ground if one can handle navigating through the thickness first. The light has a hard time piercing the shield of leaves above making it very sparse in areas, and turning the forest into a dark area. Predators also lurk about here and adds to the haunting feel of this place. Those that choose to enter this shadowy place are taking a gamble on life or death. It is rumored that those that enter have a chance of never coming back out. Some believe that their lost clanmates are out there attempting to navigate their way back. Others believe they were eaten by predators, but there are few that have a supernatural explanation for it. They believe that something terrible is lurking in the woods and is the result of their clanmates’ disappearance or even death. It is possible that it is their former comrades that could be causing it trapped in the moral world and unable to go back to their ancestors since they had no proper goodbye and died alone. To add on to these beliefs, the forest gives off a disturbing vibe just by being near the entrance, and there are sounds typically screeches that echo throughout the forest during the night. Some claim that those are just the cries of owls or another predator, but others are convinced that those are haunting, enraged screams of the lost souls trapped within that dreaded place or even the dreaded beast. Those that do manage to survive sometimes report on strange findings or being spooked off from the place sometimes abandoning any kills they made. Foolish young initiates like to use this area as a place to dare their friends and prove that they are brave or simply go there to see this place. It is recommended to never go alone and not to go very far if one chooses to hunt here.
Bear Rock is a strange rock formation. The name comes from the fact that large rock forming upwards with a cliff pointing outwards towards the end looks like a sitting bear. The area is surrounded in an open area with forest nearby, and makes for a good hunting spot. It also makes for a good climbing spot as the view is quite a sight and it is relatively easy to climb back down.
Hot Spells
The Oasis is a sight to behold for these desert dwellers. It is the main source of water and nice relaxation area. It can serve as a potential hunting spot too. It is surrounded by palm trees and in the center is a large pool of water. It can sometimes be a challenge to get here as one can be fool by the mirages that can occur making one believe there are multiple water sources or water in a different area. However, if one remembers the proper route to get there, it is easy to dismiss the mirages. Another challenge is that other animals like to drink here—prey and predator. One must be cautious when drinking or relaxing here, and it is recommended not go alone in case someone wants to have some tasty snack in-between refreshments.
Cactus are a common sight, but there is one area where a group of them have made their own society. Various cactus of different shapes, breeds, and sizes are common here, and the most dangerous part about this area is the thorns. Birds that live within the cactus can be seen here, but catching them is rather hard as they lurk within the safety of the thorns. Some cactus hold fruit and other edible goods, which can be eaten.
Easterly Winds
There is one large cave within the mountainous, hilly area. The cave would be dark place if not for the spectacular view above. Thousands of thousands of glowing, blue lights light up the ceiling. In the center, there is a small pool of water. The lights are harmless as they are merely glowing worms.
There could be underground tunnels that have been there for ages long before the kingdom took hold of them. It could be like the tunnels that old Windclan had. It could serve as some area to hold cats in for like punishments or something.
Possible Area
I was a bit unsure about this area, but I will add it here. It was originally place in Hot Spells, but it doesn't have to be just added there. It could be used in a different area.
There is an area that shows just how beautiful and dangerous nature is. A mysterious, colorful small hot spring, most likely form from trapped groundwater within rocks and the heated depths of the Earth, is a beautiful sight to behold. The water seemed to change in color with the most dominant being a fiery red at the edges. It appears like the water could be a good place to swim or even get a drink from, but this scorching beauty can kill. The main issue is the heat as the water can reach high levels, and this is indicated by the boiling bubbles and steam coming from it in waves. Those that are unfortunate enough to slip in will be burned and killed from the acidic levels of this phenomenal. It is possible that depending on the temperature and how one makes contact with the water that they will face burns that have a chance of becoming infected. It is best to avoid this area and admire or fear it from a distance.
