Elder's Den

The RiverClan elders' den is a hollow in the center of a thick tangle of reeds. All retired warriors sleep here. It is secure, half hidden in the wall of reeds that surrounds the camp. It has been dug into the ground and lined with a thick layer of moss. Elders generally make hollows in the moss for sleeping. The fresh kill pile is easily accessible, just a few feet from the entrance, and the den is adjacent to the medicine cat's den. While the reeds do not provide as good insulation as the mud and rock of the warrior and apprentice dens, they also do not hold the threat of collapsing. During heavy storms, the cats of the clan will often add extra leaves and reeds to the top of the den to provide more shelter.
