I'll put a map here at some point hopefully! For now, have some important features c:
GraniteClan are situated in the base of a mountain, living out of a small cave system inside the rock. The main entrance is a small hole in the mountain, obscured by undergrowth to keep out any predators or outsiders. It leads into a large cave, roughly the size of a small twoleg library.
Individual dens have been made in outcroppings in the cave walls. The leader's den is the highest den, and is accessed but climbing up some stepping stones. Clan culture says that once the leader can no longer climb to his den, he must retire. The deputy sleeps with the warriors in their communal den, which is a small cave inside the western wall. The apprentices' den is the smaller cave a few foxlengths away on the same wall. The medicine cat den is at the base of the cave. The nursery is also at the base, opposite the medicine cat den. Elders have dens dotted around the cave.
Hunting takes place in the forest surrounding the mountain. Primary prey is small birds and small mammals. Mountain lions, wolves, and foxes are the clan's biggest threats, but they aren't often seen. There are also snakes.
In the deepest part of the forest, untouched by almost anything but the clan, is the Great Cave. All of GraniteClan's history is recorded here. Their are carvings in the soft rock of the walls, and paintings make from prey blood and berry juice. This is where cats may feel closest to their ancestors.

GraniteClan Warrior Code:
1. Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
2. Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
3. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to our ancestors for keeping us fed.
4. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
5. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. This will take place in the Great Cave.
6. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
7. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
8. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
9. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
10. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is not from our Clan.
11. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
