StarClan must have shared their wisdom with this article, because it was previously featured on the front page.
The Sandy Hollow
The sandy hollow is a location in the ThunderClan territories in the old forest.[1]
Description
It is an area filled with red[2] sand and dirt[3] and sheltered by trees, located in a slight dip just outside of the ThunderClan camp in the forest.[4] A river once ran through the hollow before drying up and leaving only a stream beyond the hollow.[5]
Uses
It is used by the ThunderClan cats for aspects of training, particularly mentors drilling their apprentices in fighting and hunting moves.[6] Due to the soft ground, training cats are unlikely to get hurt while fighting. It can also serve as a well-known meeting place for warriors and apprentices alike, an example being apprentices meeting their mentors before assessments.[7]
History
The Sandy Hollow is mentioned in each book from Bluestar's Prophecy up to Midnight. Most of the main ThunderClan characters have trained here, and in turn trained their apprentices. In the The Darkest Hour, the hollow is used by most of ThunderClan (even the kits) to train for the upcoming battle against BloodClan.[8] It was likely destroyed along with the rest of the forest by the Twolegs.
