Rock Shetlers
At the back edge of RiverClan territory is a huge rock rising out of the ground. It curves outwards, creating an overhang of sorts from which vines fall. This overhang is also surrounded by reeds, and once one goes under it, one finds a comfortable hollow space with moss and mushrooms. A hole in the rock above allows a small view of the sky, and at night a single star twinkles there. This place has a peaceful feeling to it, rather like the moonstone cave, medicine cats say. In fact, some medicine cats and leaders claim to have had very vivid dreams of StarClan here. It is usually used by RiverClan cats as a retreat, a place for meditation and reflection. When they feel stressed, angry, or just that they need an escape, they come to the Rock-Shelter. The soothing gurgling of the river is audible, as well as the chirps of birds, and there is a magical feel to it. The space is large enough to hold several cats, though there is an unspoken rule that, if multiple cats share the space, they will not speak with each other.
