And now, the camp!

The rough draft of this camp is below

Description below for dens-

Leader’s den: Underneath a ruined table, surrounded on all sides by briar bushes woven into walls. Has scraps of fabric hanging over the edge for privacy. Is often used for a planning room.

Healer’s den: is in a tower with a broken spiral stair case. Nest is on top of the first step, and herbs and other nests are below.

Warrior’s den: A large flat piece of rubble from the walls propped up against a massive boulder- the nests are below. Granted, separate nests are uncommon. All of the Blood Order’s warriors usually sleep in one big pile for warmth.

Apprentice’s den: A massive briar bush that sprung up through the stone ground. Has an extra rock at the entrance for structural integrity, and has a similar situation going on with the nests that the warrior den has.

Nursery: In a broken spiral tower exposed to the elements, a ‘roof’ is made out of woven branches, hanging moss, and leftover cloth from tapestry’s. Incredibly soft flooring, has a few older pillows as well as moss, feathers, blankets, and really anything soft.

Notes for the camp:

The two towers in the front of the church are still functional- as such, they are watch towers for the kitty cats.

The place where Ravenscourge calls his meetings is in an altar- however, all the alters have had the statues snapped off, and now they are just empty alcoves.

The stained glass window above the leaders den has the design of a star on it and is remarkably unbroken. Healers will often sit in its shadow of colors if they are looking for advice.

The Blood Order cats will often use human things for decoration, especially in their dens. Examples include jewelry, smoothed out pieces of glass, and etc.

The church itself is massive. Ravenscourge and Fireheart often throw celebrations in there such as feasts with the order of Thunder.

And fun facts! (Not comfirmed, just my personal interpretation!)

Blood Order has the largest number of cats due to how they take I’m strays the most.

Their motto is based on the original quote of ‘blood is thicker than water’. The quote is ‘Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb.’ Their interpretation of it is ‘Blood of the Order is thicker than the water of the womb.’ As such, they place less emphasis on family bonds, and more emphasis on community.

Since their territory is in an abandoned city, I like to think that the apprentices will pierce their ears with bottle caps/ pins.
