(the loners really love dawnstar :D) ⊱ edge of the forest : famously known throughout the clans, the edge of the forest is home to the majority of loners. beautiful vistas can be found almost everywhere. it is rather peaceful compared to the north, since most cats here avoid conflict if possible. the narrow strip of land below windclan shares an open view of the mediterranean sea, greeting the tang of salt and ocean breezes. ⊱ ─ ────── - ⚘ - ────── ─ ⊰ ❀ flora & fauna. common animals : ⊱ iberian lynx ⚠︎ ⊱ wild boar ⚠︎ ⊱ wild goats ⚠︎ ⊱ gerbils ⊱ european hare ⊱ vultures ⊱ bonelli's eagle ⊱ imperial eagle ⚠︎ ⊱ white-tailed eagle ⚠︎ ⊱ milos viper ⚠︎ ⊱ horned viper ⚠︎ ⊱ meadow viper ⚠︎ ⊱ european adder ⚠︎ ⊱ crested lark ⊱ common quail ⊱ warbler ⊱ finch ⊱ black stork ⊱ purple heron ⊱ common tern ⊱ common mure ⊱ greek hawk ⚠︎ ⊱ mediterranean gull ⚠︎ ⊱ audouin's gull ⚠︎ ⊱ storm petrel ⊱ great cormorant ⚠︎ ⊱ mute swan ⚠︎ common herbs : ⊱ lavender ⊱ marjoram ⊱ oregano ⊱ sage ⊱ rosemary ⊱ tarragon ⊱ thyme ⊱ cumin ⊱ basil ⊱ fennel ⊱ ginger ⊱ cilantro common flowers : ⊱ crown daisy ⊱ larkspur ⊱ turban butterfly ⊱ agapanthus ⊱ rose ⊱ jasmine ⊱ geranium ⊱ hibsicus ⊱ lavender ⊱ hollyhock ⊱ aconite ⚠︎ ⊱ acanthus ⊱ oleander ⚠︎ ⊱ daphne ⚠︎ ⊱ plumbago ⚠︎ ⊱ artemisia ⊱ catmint ⊱ ─ ────── - ⚘ - ────── ─ ⊰ ❀ afterword. and that concludes the guide! more sections will be added eventually, but we hope this serves as a general overview of loners and the edge of the forest.
