Camp Keeping Camp keepers are the cats who spend time building dens and nests, keeping the camp clean and organized, and making sure the camp is well-defended.

Sect-Specific Specialties

Trapping • Warrior Specialty • Shadow, River, & Wind Sects Trappers are skilled at both creating and setting traps. Thunder Sect believes that trapping is undignified and undermines the natural skill cats have in hunting; you will never catch a Thunderian making or setting any traps.

Gardening • Multi-Rank • Thunder Sect While almost all Thunderians garden, some seem to have a particular skill in it.

Swimming • Warrior Specialty • Shadow Sect As the Shadow Sect makes their home in a marsh, swimming is a skill that all Shadowers have at least a basic understanding of. Some Shadowers even enjoy swimming, and employ this specialty to hunt things like turtles!

Fishing • Warrior Specialty • Shadow Sect Fishing isn't a popular specialty in the Shadow Sect. Whereas in the River Sect it's a part of daily life, Shadowers tend to prefer other prey, like birds and lizards.

Artisans • Multi-Rank • River Sect Artisans are Riverish who are particularly skilled in pottery. They know where to find the best clay, how to mold it into the shape they want, how to paint and carve images into the pot, and where the sun dries it out the best.

Diving • Warrior Specialty • River Sect Divers can hold their breaths for a long time and are the ones who collect river oysters, clams, and mussels.

Land Hunting • Warrior Specialty • River Sect Land hunting is a relatively rare skill to find in the River Sect. While all Riverish have the basic knowledge on how to hunt on land, it's not often needed, as the river is large and plentiful.

Gardening • Healer Specialty • River Sect The garden specialty in the River Sect is very different from the one in the Thunder Sect. To the Riverish, gardening is reserved for healers and advisors and is only done with medicinal plants.

Weaving • Multi-Rank • Wind Sect A specialty most often found among those who find themselves with long stretches of time with nothing to do. Weavers sew, dye, and embroider blankets and tapestries using a variety of materials, including long grasses and rabbit hides.
