Camp-perhaps these cats live in a canyon-like area in said desert. Like SkyClan, these cats can jump high and far to be able to reach certain parts of the camp, each den houses 8-9 cats and these cats are from diffrent groups
(Like the mentioned chasers (Very fast, the mentors often teach sand running technique as the desert's lose sand can be harder to run on), ambushers (often the pale colors of sand, as it'd be hard to hide in the sand without these colors), and unmentioned (Aka I thought of them myself) Water gatherers (Basically what the name says, these cats often have denser fur to be able to venture farther off into the desert to search for cacti to harvest for water), guards (Basically they just learn to fight) and lastly, crafters (These cats craft items (such as water holders) that benifit the whole clan)). Not including the smallest and biggest dens which are saved for the leader, and medicene cats with their herbs stocks and treatment bedding. Bedding used in this area isn't moss like most clans, as moss would be extreamly diffucult to find, instead they use the grass and ferns ocassionally found in deserts, due to this it is not uncommon for a cat's bedding to be stale, contain dead grass, or stink a bit.
-an oasis home perhaps? Cats would live under the ferns and plants or in small burrows that they dig themselves (Kinda sorta like a windclan tunneler?). Roles are similar to canyon-like area excluding the water gatherers as they live right next to a large sorce of water. Bedding would be much softer and fresher then it'd be in the canyon home as there are more plants and ferns to use.
Culture-names: DawnClan, SunClan, ValleyClan, SandClan, BurnClan, Fire/FlameClan, a firey name or desert related one
-random stuff I'll figure out later

TerritoryDesert. all that needs to be said XD too lazy to do landmarks rn.
StarClan contactMooncliff - a high point in which is close to the stars, and is why its the best spot to contact them, on this spot there is an odd, large rock (Geode) that the moon shines on at night, cats sleep next to it to walk in StarClan, would work well with canyon territory
Ruins of the stars - This is a large area that was made by ancient twolegs, but has slowly fallen apart over the years in the desert, cats see this as unique as twolegs are rather uncommon, at night there is a water well that's water glows brightly in the moonlight, this is called the Moonwell, however, underneath this is a dark area (Ruined prison cells) that cats believed is used to contact the Place of No Stars, due to this it is rarely gone into, dispite being a prime place for cobwebs.
Other-
my plot ideas: rescent loss of their last medicene cat, Fennecfur, none of the new kits show any intrest in herbs, although one has an exceptionally strong conection to dead cats, they chose this cat, and they train under deccessed medicene cats, although this new apprentice grows bitter, they never wanted to be a medicene cat, the apprentice soon leaves and finds a large group of twolegs that have many kittypets and loners around, the apprentice learns battle moves then starts to lead the band of rouges (mixs of kittypets and loners, mainly loners tho probally) that repeatedly attacks the clan.
Second idea: The leader dies and a warrior takes over the clan rather then the recent deputy, which the new leader killed secretly, basically this cat wreaks havoc on the clan, tearing it apart from the inside.
Third idea: A large group of rouges finds the clan and joins them, however after the deputy dies one of these rouges is chosen as the new one, dispit there being another cat that would suite being the deputy better, the leader does this to try and pull the clan together, but it ends up tearing them apart, recently they've lost all StarClan contact, theres a side of the clan that thinks it's due to the rouges joining, and one that thinks its because not everycat excepts these new clan members, after the leader demotes the fomer rouge from deputy, the clan pulls farther apart as now the second group is unhappy the clan leader is unsure of what to do as their clan falls apart right beneath their paws.
Last and my favorite idea: Twolegs invade their home, capturing cats and leaving the remaining ones to search for a new home, they face many dangers along the journey and finnally find a new home, where one of the plot ideas above starts to take place, the reason this one is my favorite is because it can include both camps, as they leave the canyon and find the oasis, then the clan has to adapt to no more water gatherers, even though said water gatherers dont want to change jobs, eventually the clan falls into place with the water gatherers either leaving, or taking on a new role, this could esspccially work well with my third idea, as the clan has less cats, from the journey, canyon twolegs, and water gatherers leaving, the rouges could be seen as a sign from StarClan of 'This is you home, and here are more cats to help, even though we haven't contacted you yet' while the group that thinks that there is no sign, and the loss of StarClan contact is due to the rouges joining.

looks: these cats often have fur colors in shades of brown and orange, although white, grey, blue, and black isn't uncommon. All of these cats have dense fur that lessens the normal tempture that cats with normal length coats would feel, due to this, hairless cats are much more common then normal clans.
Its not too much with the territories and culture but my chromebook is dying lol.
