"Reign"

[INTRODUCTION] 

Medicine den is a room. "You wake up, and almost instantly you feel pain piercing through your mind. When you're finally able to see again, you see your legs are transparent. And, below your paws, you see russet-crimson fur below your feet. On better observation, you realize it's yourself. Suddenly, you realize you're dead. You take a second to collect yourself and remember what happened. It was all a blur. The camp caught fire, and before you passed out you saw a flash of grey fur. Why weren't you in StarClan? Wasn't that where all cats went when they died?"

Main clearing is a room and north of medicine den. "As you proceed north, you feel a soft shiver run down your spine as you walk past the living. More cats flooding into camp run and through you, unaware of your presence. You see the Fresh-kill pile to the north, the Highrock to the east, and the river and bridge that leads out of camp is west. Everything is burnt and/or fallen over. Be careful."

Fresh-kill pile is a room and north of main clearing. "The fresh-kill pile. After a hunt the warriors will drop off all the caught prey here for all the members of the clan to feast on. There are a few mice, though they don't look very appetizing after the fire. They're placed neatly on what looked like new bedding."

River is west of main clearing. River is a room. "The river was running again. Surprisingly, it was about half-empty. Wasn't there a drought? Then you remembered. A lightning storm had caused a fire. You ran into the medicine den to escape. Remembering that the medicine cat didn't in fact try to save you like you thought, your chest tightens. Perhaps you shouldn't get angry yet. More and more thoughts unravel in your mind, but you shake them away. North is the bridge. Looks too fragile to cross though."

Bridge is north of River. Bridge is a room. "You pad a little closer, aiming to go across. As you try to step onto it, it crashes through and you fall into the water. Your pelt is soaked."

Highrock is east of main clearing. Highrock is a room. "This is where the leader addresses the clan. Your first apprentice ceremony was held here. Along with your deputy ceremony. You remember everybody's face as you were appointed the successor of the leader, they didn't look too happy. Not happy at all. Pigeonstar was your leader. He wasn't the smartest of leaders. Maybe that's why he made you deputy. You could possibly climb up here if the river isn't an option. It was originally used as an escape route. Placing it right here was pretty stupid, though."

Steep cliff is up of Highrock. Steep cliff is a room. "You dig your claws into the dirt, small pieces sliding from under you, after a few minutes you finally force your way up. You wonder if other cats could see the scraps of dirt you sent flying down. Maybe you could communicate with them somehow. There's a forest ahead."
 
Top of rock is east of Highrock. Top of rock is a room. "You climb to the top of the highrock. Suddenly you feel taller, in more ways than one."

Elders den is south of Highrock. Elders den is a room. "You remember the Elders telling you stories about cats who were bad, and where they went when they died. You don't remember if you were bad or not. Even while you were alive, you couldn't tell. Especially after so many warriors of StarClan turned against you."


Burnt forest is north of Steep Cliff. Burnt Forest is a room. "Birds pass overhead. You don't feel hungry right now."

Scorched-forest is east of Burnt Forest. Scorched-forest is a room. "It's all burnt. You feel uneasy, like something from your past is lurking slowly behind, ready to pounce." 

Highcliff is west of Steep Cliff. Highcliff is a room. "A great place to watch the clouds and sky or watch over the camp. The Highcliff leaves the place vulnerable to rogues, though. You look up, to the countless stars overhead. You wonder why you're stuck here, and not in StarClan."

Thunderpath is north of Scorched-forest. Thunderpath is a room. "Your darkest memory, where the darkness began to swarm you for the first time. The cause of all your pain. Just because you wanted to prove yourself on your warrior assessment. The only memory you can bare to think about with the Thunderpath is the cold stone under your paws."

Continuation is north of Thunderpath. Continuation is a room. "You don't get why you went this way. There's only forest and Thunderpath. No prey lurks in sight. Odd."

Kittypet place is north of Continuation. Kittypet place is a room. "Kittypet place. Many warriors think the cats that live there are disgraceful. That they're lazy furballs who never bother to go outside and eat food made of slop."
