Carrionplace

Carrionplace is a Twoleg dump in The Forest Territories, called the North Allerton Amenity Tip.



Description
It is a part of ShadowClan's territory and during leaf-bare, it provides ShadowClan with food, though they have to be cautious about diseases spread by the rats living there. During the New Prophecy Series, it was supposedly destroyed along with the rest of the old forest.

Rising Storm

 * ShadowClan's leader, Nightstar, dies from sickness when diseased rats from the Carrionplace are brought to the fresh-kill pile. That is when it was discovered Nightstar never received nine lives from StarClan because Brokentail was still alive. His deputy, Cinderfur, also dies, and many of ShadowClan's cats get ill. Yellowfang says, shocked, that the elders knew the rats carried disease and must never be taken as prey. The disease had no known cure until Cinderpelt comes up with a mixture of herbs that seems to work and teaches Littlecloud how to make it.

Moonrise

 * When Firestar argues that the Clans must leave the Forest because of the shortage of prey, Blackstar points out that their Clan is not in danger, as they can always find food at Carrionplace.

Secrets of the Clans

 * In the guide of ShadowClan's forest territory, Carrionplace is described as an evil place where rats and disease lurk.


 * In Raggedstar's profile, it is noted that he fought a violent battle with the rats at Carrionplace that kept them from bothering ShadowClan for many moons. His deputy, Foxheart, was killed in one of these battles with the rats shortly after Brokentail was born.


 * The first ShadowClan medicine cat, Pebbleheart, realized that the rats who dwelt here were a source of infection. He himself, however, died of a rat-borne infection.
