Neutral Territory

The Gathering Island
It’s about a third tree-length from shore (15-20ish ft), and the water to it is about chest-length for the average warrior. It’s been kicked up like that over the years and it is not like that around the rest of the lake. The island is sandy about three-feet in, though isn’t very large. It’s lined with bushes and a few short trees, though the main attraction is a big willow tree on the furthest edge. On it’s sturdiest branch is where leaders sit, while their medicine cats and deputies sit at the base and roots. The leaves have been pulled back or plucked out to show the leaders, and it’s just hardly bright under there, only light coming in from between the leaves and moonlight.

The Starpond
The path to it extends opposite and to the right of the Gathering Island. It’s on top of roughly ten-hop steps, and above the pool sits a strangely purpley-blue-silver willow, leaves just barely touching the surface. It’s big enough to fit five cats, and the left side is lined with shrubs and bushes and forget-me-nots. The clans believe the willow is meant to show that StarClan is there, just a pawstep away from touching the cat about to speak to them, and the forget-me-nots are meant to not forget the dead warriors of StarClan, as well as for a leader to not forget their warrior life while receiving their other eight. A small waterfall starts at a water source somewhere behind the tree that no cat dare venture, believing that was the Path To StarClan.

The Training Hollow
It’s set on IvyClan’s side of the Gathering line, and is a big sandy patch. A small path leads down there, and it’s right on shore, being slightly overshadowed by tall grasses above. The place gets full-sunlight. It’s usually where FlameClan and IvyClan apprentices meet to train in swimming, though is occasionally used for interclan couples to meet.
