The lake


 * This article refers to the Lake itself. If you were looking for information on the territories around the lake, see The Lake Territories.

The Lake is the large body of freshwater in the middle of the Clans' new territories.

Features

 * The lake is bordered by marshes in parts of RiverClan territory, but by simple shoreline on all the other territories. The lake contains an Island which the Clans hold Gatherings on, with a fallen tree serving as a bridge to the Island. There are several Twoleg halfbridges scattered around the shoreline as well.

Significance

 * The Lake provides a consistent source of water for all the Clans, as even during droughts it does not fully dry up. It also provides RiverClan with another body of water to fish in.
 * There has been controversy between the Clans over whether the lake belongs to any one Clan, and it is still not clear. However, as agreed by the leaders soon after the Clans arrived at the lake, cats can travel across other Clans' territories as long as they stay within two fox-lengths of the lakeshore.
