StarClan must have shared their wisdom with this article, because it was previously featured on the front page.
The sandy hollow is a hollow surrounded by trees in the forest territories.[2] It is used by ThunderClan mentors to train their apprentices safely, due to the soft ground.[1]
Description
- The sandy hollow is located in the forest territory of ThunderClan. It is southwest of ThunderClan's camp. Entering the clearing, there is a small slope downwards. The area is sheltered from the surrounding trees during the seasons, most notably leafbare.[3] The earth is a mixture of red sand[3] and dirt.[4] At one point in time, a river ran through the hollow, but, it remains only as a stream beyond a rise in the surrounding area.[5]
- The primary use of the sandy hollow is for ThunderClan's warriors and their apprentices to practise their battle moves. This is due to the softness of the earth as to not harm the young, training cats as they tussle.[1] At times, ThunderClan warriors also use the hollow as a meeting place before their apprentice's assessments.[6]
