ElmClan

The cats of ElmClan live in a lush maple forest near a river, although a part of their territory is part of the nearby mountain range. There's a mountain range that starts above the Clan's territory and the two places are separated by a small thunderpath. The border between CanyonClan and ElmClan is a stream (branching off from the OG river), and there's a large stone in the middle of it that cats use to cross the borders if needed. If you'd go in the opposite way from the river, you'll find ElmClan's scent markers that prevents rouges from entering their territory. The river, that comes from a large waterfall a short way up the mountains, serves as their border towards RapidClan who's apprentices and, sometimes reckless, warriors might wander away from their territory on their hunt for prey, to ElmClan and CanyonClan's annoyance. At this waterfall, there's a rocky path up the hillside that continues out of ElmClan's  territory and leads to the Mist Cove. ElmClan medicine cats take advantage of the waterfall to gather certain herbs. (RapidClan comes down here!!!)

ElmClan cats mainly hunt forest prey, such as mice, birds and squirrels. They might hunt mountain prey in large groups, examples include hawks, kestrels and mountain lions, and they have certain ways to do this.

The cats of ElmClan most commonly have bracken-coloured pelts, or darker pelts ranging from light hazel to black. Their paws are a lot smaller than the other two Clans but they have thick furs, are broad-shouldered and have round heads. The cats are not as small as the ones of RapidClan, but something in between Canyon- and RapidClan. Their claws are sharper than the other Clans' to cling on to ex. branches if they're chasing squirrels or birds in trees, although the older cats don't do that a lot since they are too heavy for the thin branches. They are quiet and stealthy, this makes it easy for them to hunt in the forest they live in. 

ElmClan's apprentices' main training area is called the Training Glade, it's a small clearing about 25 fox-lengths away from their camp, you will find it if you head towards the CanyonClan border. The clearing is covered in patches of grass and bare soil, but it also has a mud puddle on the edge and a few small trees in the middle, one of them has fallen over and is leaning towards the other trees. Some bushes line the edges of it, with a pathway through them acting as the main entrance to the Training Glade. The environment matches a lot of ElmClan's territory and so the apprentices can practise hunting crouches, battle moves and coordination here. 

ElmClan  has the territory with most herbs beside the river, with its waterfall and lush undergrowth. The herbs in the 'in forests' section can be found all over their territory, 'near mountains/waterfalls' can be located at the mountain bordering ElmClan to the east and waterfall there, the herbs that can be found 'anywhere' can, as the name tells you, be found all over the territory, the shore to the river bordering RapidClan is sunny and warm, so there are the 'sunny places' and 'near water' herbs. Some herbs near water can also be found at the CanyonClan border and small brooks throughout the forest.
