Fireclan's Territory
Fireclan is based off a volcano that inhabits the very center of the territory and takes up much of the space. The territories border is lined with scraggly trees and a few thorny bushes. One area is thicker than the rest, with a small clearing that has a sort of structure made out of sticks, rocks, and a type of lava that hardens and cools quickly, making a sort of concrete.
This is the camp, with the entrance near the front. There is no top to the structure, but the dens have tops, and the camp is well protected. There is a second layer to the camp underneath for the cold times. When it gets cold, which doesn't happen often, it gets really cold, colder than a northern winter. This second layer under the ground is a second camp, built for when that happens. It's always a lot warmer under there then on the surface, and so that is where they stay during the cold. The surrounding territory is mostly hard rock, with little prey except in the winter, when the animals gather in the trees, where it's always warm from the lava and the volcano.
In this way, winter, instead of summer, is always better for hunting, and while the other clans are wasting away, Fireclan becomes healthier and fatter. During the summer, they don't do as well, though not as badly as the other clans do during winter. This gives them an advantage over the other clans because they never have a really big shortage of prey.
