If you don't know, I ran into a brick wall during my time updating FlareClan's territory.
I decided to put the camp description in the same thread. And as I was writing up the first idea, I realized(peering at the official map in a different tab) we have no water source.
Thus, I wrote a separate paragraph below the first with a different camp layout. I figured once I finished, I could decide which one was better suited for us. Either a camp in a rocky clearing-like place, similar to the territory, or situated at the only oasis in FlareClan's territory -- which would be the most likely camp location. Logically, FlareClan would choose to live at the oasis... if one existed.
Or they'd choose the rocky clearing that received little wind. Either one would make sense in the story.
But I couldn't just pick or choose. So I'm holding a vote. Which camp do you think FlareClan should have?
The one with the most votes will win.
Unless decided otherwise.
CAMP ONE OPTION
Our camp is situated at one of these rocky places, although it is a hollow just beneath a tall sandy hill of stone. Wind blows over our heads, but keeps our clearing nice and clean for the most part. The dens have been carved out by a lake that used to reside here, once connected to AquaClan many, many moons ago that is long gone by now. The caves are cool to the touch, quite a contrast to our desert home, and is almost chilly if endured for too long. The prey-pile sits in the middle of our clearing, a smaller hollow with a rocky overhangs that acts as a heat protection, and a nice shady place to sit and chat for some of our warriors. Surrounding our camp is simple a long wall of rock and sand that acts as a barrier.
CAMP TWO OPTION
Our camp is situated at the only oasis in our territory, a rather beautiful pool of water that is about 30 feet wide, surrounded in a grassy forest and barren rock. The oasis forest acts as a shield against the blinding wind, surrounding our camp in a strong thicket wall grown over many, many moons of hard work. The dens are chilly, all carved into the barren rock to create cold caves underfoot, and made stronger by the sheer hardness of the rock itself. So there is no fear of a cave-in. The prey-pile sits in the middle of our camp, a smaller hollow dug into the earth that offers just enough shade to protect our food. The trees offer a calm place of shade, and the water a satisfying taste that is much clearer than any else ever existing, to our knowledge.
