River Colony

Description
When the fish aren’t catching, a ranger desperate enough to feed their colony can always try their luck chasing down a gull. For the Sunrise Ceremony/Sundown Challenge, River Colony's new-claws can bring back shells and fish during the night. River Colony cats often have double coats for insulation in water.

Kittens learn to swim between 3 and 6 months of age under the watch of keepers in preparation for becoming new-claws. Rainfall has pushed this age back to 2 to 4 months, which is not impossible but far riskier than most parents are comfortable with, and has placed mentors and rangers in charge of this learning process. Some kittens have been swept away as a result.

Rangers learn to dive for fish at the ocean shore and can hold their breath for up to 2 minutes.

Keepers have become less respected under Rainfall’s rule due to her push for a stronger fighting force. Rainfall pressured many keepers to change to different roles and publicly mocks keepers for being weak, leading to negative perceptions of them in the colony.

Rainfall is doing the same thing with herbalists, restricting rangers interested in the career from training and assigning Orangebrook - who has limited knowledge of herbs and isn’t able to train new herbalists - as the sole herbalist.

Territory
River Colony lives in the River Lands, a river-crossed land to the south of Alliance Lake. Their territory sweeps down toward the Wide Water, where the land is soft and sandy. Many rivers and creeks have cut their paths through this land and create neat, tidy waterways where rangers can fish in the shade of tropical plants.

River Colony Base sits between the intersections of two rivers. Their territory borders the ocean. The River Lands border the Marsh Lands on a river that connects the lake and ocean, while their border with the Field Lands cuts through the trees and hills, from the Moonlight Island's bridge to the ocean.

Trivia

 * River Colony crossing any border would be seen as a huge threat because it would probably be seen as Rainfall trying to make a move.
 * TennelleFlowers' favorite background/non-main characters in River Colony are all of the apprentices, as well as Piketail. His favorite apprentices in particular are Grey and Talon.
