The Arrival of Leaf-bare
I know a lot of you have been waiting for the arrival of our winter map! Well I am proud to say that it is finally here! You've been watching Balthazar creating it in map maker and now its finally ready. The Clans which will be most effected by it will be Windclan, and Thunderclan. Since they are on higher ground, the cold winds that blow over the lake territories have reached them first, and with little cover from the ground, it is much colder than any other leaf-bare. The rivers and lakes are all frozen over, how will the clans manage?
The negative effects on the other clans will be;
1.) Prey is very scarce. Mostly hidden away in burrows trying to keep warm. You'll be lucky to find a morsel!
2.) Riverclan's main food source, is almost impossible to catch now.
3.) It is much easier for a cat to catch whitecough, and then greencough. Medicine cat's better be on alert.
4.) There is ice underneath all that packed snow, better be careful when you're on patrol.
5.) The blizzard will make it very hard to scent, and catch prey. The clans will be going hungry for a while.
The positive effects;
1.) Rouges and loners are staying away from the open territories. Even the fox in Thunderclan is in hiding.
2.) The ice also could be a weapon against the clans. Raids have begun to become more frequent, as cats become more desperate, as they can easily cross over territories from the lake.
Hope everyone has fun in this update! We also might have an issue with the gathering on the 21st. Will the leaders want to risk coming into contact with the other clans when sickness is spreading? Will the clans manage to keep united against the weather, or will it just tear them farther apart until war's break out over the last scraps of food.
Happy Role-playing everyone!
