The Tribe's Cavern

The Tribe was forced to abandon their old cavern behind the waterfall when they were made to give up their old territory. Instead, they inhabit a cave in a cliff under a rockfall near the edge of the mountains. Where the rocks have fallen from the mountains, they have piled up against the edge of the cliff, shielding the cave entrance. Cats will sit guard on the rocks; a small gap near the bottom provides entrance to the rockfall itself, which is a tangle of cracks, small gaps, and tunnels. Squeezing between the two largest boulders allows a cat to enter the large cave, where most of the Tribe lives and sleeps; there are also two other tunnels leading from that cave, one going to the kits' and kitmothers' dens, the other to the Cave of Whispering Water, where the Healer reads signs from the small waterfall and underground river there.
