main area
snowclan camp
The camp of Snowclan is settled amongst a compact group of hills that resides in a small clearing, obscured by towering pine trees. The ground, which is usually covered by thick snow, consists of coarse dark-brown dirt with patches of grass here and there. Each den is hosted within large openings along the Great Alpines that acts as the wall of the camp. These allow for shelter from the cold environment, but occasionally higher-up openings must be utilized when the height of the snow covers up the bottom openings. Not just that, but these openings provide protection from predators that may occasionally venture down into the camp from the mountainous range that surrounds them. Cypress leaves line the insides of each den while moss is used for bedding. The fresh-kill pile is located in a small cavity underneath the leader's den to avoid drawing predators to the camp by keeping it out in the open.

the great alpines
A wide snowy mountainous range that is chock full of danger. The Great Alpines are rarely explored, except for gathering the minimal amount of herbs that grow in the cracks along the mountains. Medicine cats that venture onto this territory must look out for the dangerous prowling snow leopard that stalks the range in search of prey while also keeping their eyes on the sky for looming hawks. Any cat that is sent out to the Great Alpines is normally sent in groups to avoid casualties but nothing can stop the inevitable.

mountain woodland
Bordering against the Great Alpines, the Mountain Woodland is a coniferous forest lined with rows and rows of gigantic pine trees and a wide variety of other coniferous trees. It is notorious for disappearances due to the sheer density of trees. Just like with the Great Alpines, cats are told to stay together when going through this area. Danger plagues the area as a wolf pack is known to dwell within the region, snatching up cats that stray too far.

blizzard's peak
Small and handy, Blizzard's Peak is a mountain summit used to train cats on how to climb. There is a small hollow at the base of the mountain used as the training grounds for apprentices and is covered by rocks that outstretch from Blizzard's Peak. Many cats are injured when training and hawks can sometimes be seen patrolling the skies for a quick meal. Apprentices must have one warrior with them when at this location.

hunting grounds
Hunting Grounds is the closest and safest area for the cats of Snowclan to hunt. Predators are a rare occurrence in this forest and it is ripe with delicious prey. This is one of the only areas in the main area surrounding the camp that cats are allowed to pass through by themselves due to the number of threats. However, it is not uncommon for artic foxes crossing the tundra to cross into the Hunting Grounds, causing trouble for any present cats.

snowflake lake
Snowflake Lake is the main source of water for the cats of Snowclan. During Snow-Fall or Snow-Mass, it is not uncommon for the lake to freeze over, meaning the cats of the clan may have to go in search of water from the surrounding rivers or even near the Twoleg nest if the lake inside the abandoned Twoleg mine is not accessible.

abandoned mine
Located against the Great Alpines and near the abandoned Twoleg camp, the abandoned mine is presumed to have been used by Twolegs a long time ago. Most cats avoid going into the mine as predators sometimes make temporary homes inside, but this doesn't mean it has never been explored. The clan drinks from a small pond within the cave deep down inside whenever Snowflake Lake freezes over during the harsher seasons. Bats can be seen sleeping high up in the mines and can be a small snack for a hungry cat.

abandoned twoleg camp
This abandoned camp consists of a torn-up tent with Twoleg supplies inside. The supplies are not of any use to the cats of Snowclan but the tent can provide temporary shelter from the outside. Some cats remain afraid of the camp although it has been abandoned for a long time.

bridge
This bridge acts as a crossway between the main area of Snowclan to the Barrens and the area of Stone Hills.

twoleg area
tower of wind
A large tower that Twolegs are often spotted entering and exiting. There is a small opening on the side of the tower that cats can enter and not many dare to go inside. This area is generally avoided by cats but there are plenty of herbs that can be located in this area for collection.

twoleg nest
A small Twoleg nest with a half-bridge nearby. Plentiful amounts of herbs grow in the farming spaces utilized by the Twolegs and medicine cats often need to make trips here to get life-saving herbs. Caution should be taken when sneaking through the Twolegs' crops as some cats have been snatched up into the nest, usually managing to escape soon after. Usually.

half-bridge
The half-bridge stretches over the Great Beyond and often has water monsters approaching it with Twolegs inside of it. Sometimes cats from Snowclan have been taken onto these water monsters by Twolegs, never to be seen again. Only the bravest of cats dare to step paw onto the half-bridge.

great beyond
A salty body of water that surrounds a majority of the area where Snowclan resides. Bordering the Twoleg nest, seals and walruses can be seen basking in the sun on the land nearby with large amounts of seabirds swarming the skies. Water monsters can be seen approaching in the distance from all around and often stop at the Twoleg half-bridge.

blackwoods pond
The pond that sits outside of the Blackwoods and is a good source of water for traveling cats. Twolegs are sometimes spotted nearby, making the spot dangerous to visit for long periods of time.

the blackwoods
A large woodland area that borders the river of the Barrens. Cats often hunt here while traveling to the Twoleg nest but it is advised to do so quickly, as dangerous predators lurk through these woods. Many have tried to used the Blackwoods as a detour to get to the Crystal Hollow by crossing the river but not many have survived to tell the story.

the barrens area
the barrens
A vast expanse of snow that stretches into the great unknown. Dead trees are scattered all over the land and sometimes cats may sight traveling deer and moose. Those journeying to the Everstone in Crystal Hollow must cross this wide region, facing off with the arctic foxes that live in the area and passing through the Barren Ruins as a quick rest stop.

barren ruins
Discovered a long time ago, the Barren Ruins is a collection of stone and rocks that is assumed to be some sort of Twoleg creation. Many cats have to cross through the ruins while traveling to Crystal Hollow and use this as a time to rest before continuing to go on.

crystal hollow
Home to the Everstone, where the leaders and medicine cats of Snowclan travel to speak with Starclan. The cave is characterized by the vast amount of glowing crystals that line the walls and ceiling of the cave. These crystals are to be avoided as they are sharp and can easily injure any cat that decides to touch them. A massive cloud of bats resides in the cave and cats that are traveling through must be quiet as to not wake them.

lake of life
The Lake of Life is the most accessible body of water for cats traveling through the Barrens. The sheer size of it is astonishing to most cats and the lake stretches far into the distance, unable to see the end without traveling alongside it. Many animals stop by this lake to take a drink so it is advised to make stops at this lake quickly before any predators happen to show up looking for a bite.

stone hills area
stone hills
Stone Hills is considered one of the most beautiful spots of the territory with vast hills stretching across the land and herbs growing abundantly throughout. Stones can be seen scattered about where prey can be seen resting on top of or hiding underneath. This is a nice spot for cats to run with the wind and feel the air on their fur.

twoleg camp
A small Twoleg camp that a single Twoleg lives inside of. The Twoleg is friendly and a kittypet known as North lives with him. Sometimes clan cats stop by the camp when traveling to have a chat with North or to simply have a quick resting spot.

rock loch
Rock Loch is the largest lake in the region, stretching far off into the horizon. Some cats take a dip in the water since it is not as cold in this area compared to others and can allow for quick fishing.

bearthorn pond
The pond that lies right next to Bearthorn Pines. Not many cats go to this lake for a drink, much preferring the Lake of Life, due to the fact that bears are common at this location.

bearthorn pines
Another dangerous stretch of coniferous woods, crawling with bears. Cats that venture into this part of the region are often never to be seen again and it is advised that those who go inside should go in groups.
