Marshes

Covering much of RiverClans territory is marshy ground, filled with reeds and mud. There are sometimes soft spots in the mud which may sink and cave in. RiverClan apprentices are traditionally taught of these spots so that they know how to avoid them. The reeds of this marsh are tall enough to obscure a cat completely, and they allow for excellent ambushes - both for and against RiverClan. However, the cats of RiverClan are very accustomed to such terrain and have become experts in reading the slightest twitch of a reed, the faintest rustling. The cats of the clan also may catch frogs and small marsh sparrows and wrens in these marshy areas. Occasionally they will find straying rodents as well.
