They'll most certainly be telephone poles and the like. For telephone poles, how about the Clan calls them "pole-trees" and as for electricity pylons (look them up if you don't know what I mean ), they could call them "web-trees"? Also should it be considered a town or a village? This might help. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settlement_hierarchy

Small town it is. Do we still want it to be like an abandoned summercamp or do we want for it to be like leafbare going into newleaf and the people are going to show up and scare off the cats?
Also pole trees and Web trees sound good.
We could do a Moonpool/stone that could be in the burned out part of the forest so the cats feel weird about going there. The forest could just be starting to grow back and prey could be coming back.

Abandoned summer camp, as with it being a small town, maybe they lost founding for it

Just brainstorming here, but would a "Moontree" (a large, possibly mostly lifeless white tree without many, if any, leaves) be possible for consideration? It seems unlikely it would have survived a forest fire, but...

Ember I like that idea.
Maybe it could be a town.
Im going to write up a description of the burnt up camp right now.

Perhaps it would help if we could find a visual reference of a town to work off of?

Are there any higher geographical locations nearby, such as an equivalent to their Mothermouth? If so, perhaps a poorly maintained Twoleg mine could be placed there? A network of heavily rusty tracks would lead into roughly cut tunnels, with faint flickering lights coming from hanging oil lanterns. Barrels, crates, and other containers would be lined up against some walls with shovels and pickaxes leaning against them. Some Twolegs could be working the mine, but would later abandon it due to the surrounding rock being unstable, leading to a couple of collapses? It could also act as a hide-out to rogues in the future.
Some unrefined or partially refined silver ore could be littered about, which the Clan cats could call "silver rock".

There are willow trees with white leaves. For ember34 idea mixed with Dark Sun idea of a white tree. Except the tree would have leaves.

Perhaps a gravel path departs from the small town and leads to a church that has its own gravesite and crypt? CinderClan could conclude that it's their version of the Moontree where Twolegs pray to their ancestors and bury their dead. (Note: Not that it matters saying this, but I'm not religious, so that's not why I'm posting this suggestion. It's just for realism/worldbuilding. )

Would be interesting, and similar to veterinarians being med cats since they care for sick kittypets, they could possibly consider the priests/grave diggers as twoleg med cats to some form

Speaking of which, perhaps CinderClan could bury their dead around the Moontree, believing that in doing so the spirits would have the easiest path to joining StarClan? Just spitballing here. Anyway, that's enough for me for now. I'm more interested in hearing what other ideas you two (or anyone else who happens to be reading this comment!) can conjure up.

I'm doing homework again so I'm gonna be spotty.
Have we decided on an appearance for the moon tree for sure?
I like the idea of the church. Maybe they have a church cat with the name of an angel. Like Ivy has a cat named after a demon.

I have three reference shots available! It's not concrete yet, but out of these three, pick your favorite! (Note: If anyone has any alternative images or suggestions for the appearance of the Moontree, fire away!) Note: Imagine in these shots, the bark, branches, and the leaves are snow white.

Does the moon have any religious significance to CinderClan other than just being a silver beacon in the sky at nighttime? Perhaps to them it has significance regarding spirits and how settled or restless they are (depending on the phase of the moon). Would they fear or have some level of apprehension around the new moon? Do any ceremonies take place during the time of no moon, or during the full moon?
Also, how would the Moontree have survived? Is it on a small island surrounded by a stream or a river? Is it atop a plateau of sorts, or some sort of higher elevation? Is it naturally growing there, or are there old Twoleg structures surrounding it, like crumbling rings of rock and the like?

I could be on a tiny bit of an island with a stream around it. And maybe every new moon the apprentice's have to accompany the medicine cat to the Moontree to speak to starclan

Uriel: 28 Moons. Uriel is a snowy white tom with hazel eyes. He has a bent tail. Uriel was originally a stray that lived on the streets. A small group of twoleg kits often tormented him, resulting in his tail being broken and it never was retreated. He got taken in by a priest after he was discovered leaving in a small shed outside, where he was given the name Uriel. He has since lived in the church, and developed a knowledge for its operations. He works on keeping mice and other rodents out of the church. He can be seen occasionally walking around the graveyard outside. Ember34. (@ ember34)
