Healers of Sage
Introduction
You've been wandering for so long, your body is tired and hungry and there seems to be no end in sight to this forest. Suddenly your paws give out on you, you think this may be where you die. As your vision fades you hear the sounds of rustling and steps coming toward you, you then black out.
You wake up with a start, you look around and find yourself covered with herbs and some long two-leg cover. You see a mouse before you and eat it quickly, as you inhale the mouse you hear a chuckle close by. You look to the side with wide eyes, its another cat! A big fluffy tabby with honey colored eyes, judging by the size of the cat you'd say it was a tom. "I hope you rested well," he started before hoping onto the two-leg bed next to you, he presses his nose to your forehead and hums. "Not bad, your fever has gone down quite well. I'll make sure one of the healers brings you a couple more herbs to eat to help keep it down." You're very confused and he can tell by your face.
"Oh! Excuse my poor manners, my name is Pinestar. I am the Master Healer of the Healers of Sage, sort of a leader or advisor role mainly. A group of my cats found you passed out and you were brought back here for healing. Once you're completely healed you can either stay here with us and be a healer or guardian, or you go on your merry way to wherever it was you were going." The tom cat jumped down with a small thud and headed out through the doorway. You're left there to ponder, do you leave or do you stay?

History
A long time ago the group was founded by a tom named Sage, his mission was to create a safe haven for the ill, injured, and lost. To find cats like himself and train them in the ways of healing and teach them to have faith in the Starry Ones. Word spread through the forest of Sage and his healers, this was good for those in need. However, it also brought danger to the group as those seeking to do evil would begin to attack cats and steal herbs. Sage disliked fighting, but he knew that to keep his group safe he would need what he called Guardians. He found two strong brothers, Timber and Oak, and had them teach some of the less gifted healers how to fight. In time the group and home was safe once more, Timber and Oak stayed and helped to protect what everyone was calling the Healer's Home.
Seasons and Moons passed, Sage was now older and had retired from most of his duties as Master Healer of the ground. Becoming an elder to give guidance and advice to his successor and mate, Willow. Upon his death the group gave him the suffix 'star', making him the true leader he always was. That night it is said that he visited Willow and gifted her with nine lives and the name of Willowstar.

Territory
Camp- Surrounded in a dense forest of oak, birch, and evergreen trees lies a long abandoned school with greenhouses and a sandy playground. The cats live inside the school building, making there dens in different rooms around the first and second level of the school. Some rooms are also used for herbal studies and experiments.
Herb Dens- There are four green houses in total, each one used to grow more herbs and make sure they're safe thought almost every season. Moss soaked in water from the Lily Pond is used to water the herbs and flowers daily.
Training Grounds- A nice sized playground with sand all over the ground, making it a good place for training Guardian apprentices. It is also used as a play area for kits, though they have to be careful in green leaf when the sun makes the sand very hot. One rule all the cats here live by is don't make 'dirt' in the sand, please.
Lily Pond- A small pond with lily pads floating on the surface, good place to find small fish that swim in through a small tunnel at the bottom of the pond as well as a good place to hunt frogs or toads.

Camp
Inside the building each group of cats have their own rooms, there nests made up old beds, blankets, and moss found outside. The Nursery, Elder's den, Guardian's den, and Apprentices den are all located on the floor level, east to west in the order. While the Master Healer's den, Healer's den, the Sick Room, and Study or Experiment rooms are located on the second floor.
Nursery- A large room lined with old beds on the floor, nests made primarily from old ragged blankets.
Elder's den- Similar to the Nursery, though many elders choose to have their nests made of moss instead of old blankets.
Guardians and Apprentices den- Side by side to each other, these rooms are mostly empty beside the nest made of moss, feathers, and leaves.
Master Healer's Den- A large room with a big office chair in the center of the room near a wooden desk, the Master Healer sleeps on the chair at night.
Healer's den- A room made of multiple nests for each healer, some corners of the room have potted plants or herbs growing in them.
The Sick Room- A room for the injured and sick, its right next to the Healer's den making it easy for the Healers to get to their patients when needed. The nests are made of moss that is changed after every patient use.
Study and Experiment Rooms- Two smaller rooms used for healers to practice their art, making new and stronger medicines for healing sick or injured cats.
