The Territory
SandClan territory is located at a rocky beach, covered in a thick blanket of pale, near-white sand. It's not your warm, sunny beach either. The arctic ocean water is ice cold, sending a burst of freezing tingles through your body at first contact. An icy wind whips onto the shore of SandClan all the time, though in newleaf, the wind is less harsh, and cool rather than sharp and icy.
Various rocks and reeds poke up out of the sand, and various objects often drift to shore. At the far end of the beach is an abandoned twoleg hut that is weahtered and rotting.
The Camp
At one point, there is a cluster of boulders arranged in a semicircle next to a ragged stone cliff that is too tall and steep to climb. If you climb over the outer boulders, you enter the camp. In the center of the camp is an ancient tire used to hold warrior ceremonies and in-camp meetings. A layer of driftwood and twoleg planks has been assembled as a sort of roof over a cluster of close rocks. This is where the warriors sleep. The apprentices have dug out a small hollow in the sand on one end of the camp and lined it with reeds and moss. This is where they sleep. Peices of driftwood hold up the ceiling, and keeps it from caving in, as does some ice and hard-packed snow. This hollow often needs to be reinforced, and crumbles reuglarly. An old, large twoleg bucket lying sideways and lined with stones and wood to keep it from rolling away serves as a nursery. Reeds are hung from the entrance to keep out the weather. The elders' den is located next to the cliff, between a series of large, close boulders. Again, there is a driftwood roof. Just outside the circle of boulders is the shed metnioned in the territory description, where the leader, deputy, and their mates sleep. Finally, the medicine cat's den is located in a large wooden crate that washed up on shore countless moons ago. This too, is just outside the stone circle. It is pushed up against the shack.
The Prey
The prey found here is mainly fish and various slimy sea creatures that wash up on shore. Occasionally, a small vole or mouse will wander onto the territory, but for the most part, cats break the shells of creatures open against the rocks on the shore and slurp up the raw, slimy remains.
The Cats
Cats living in SandClan are very skilled at walking and running quickly and effectivley through sand. This gives them an advantage in battle on their territory, and they are trained to use the sand to their advantage in hunting and battle. They can also withstand icy cold tempuratures, as they need to when fishing, and over the moons, have developed unnatrually thick pelts. They smell of fish and salt and cold winter air.
