The Gathering Island is a small piece of land in the heart of the Great Valley, where all the clans gather during the full moon to announce the latest news, meet with friends, and exchange goods and services with one another. The Gatherings also act as ways for the Clans to obtain information about one another during strenuous times. Stepping stones and a fallen log allow VerdureClan and CavernClan safe passage onto the island, while CoveyClan and TideClan fly and swim respectively. During the Dry Season, the river waters lower enough to trudge through to the island on paw. The Gathering Island is under a truce- no blood may be shed during the meetings, lest they incur StarClan's wrath. Any violence at a Gathering results in the immediate dismissal of the meeting and fierce judgement to the assailant's clan. 

The Gathering Island is primarily made up of soft sand, however, tall grasses grow closer to the center and towards the Leader's announcement rock. Patches of this grass are short and worn down in the highest traffic areas of the Gathering Island. A small ledge resides beneath the announcement rock, where the deputies of the clans sit until the announcements have ended. Trees coat one side of the island where the Leader's rock sits. Another small island sits just off the shore, where cats may go to converse or play after the announcements are over. 

The Moonpools are thermal limestone terraces that reside on a quiet, small island just south of the border with the Farlands, which resemble the Travertines of Pamukkale. Nocat beyond the Healers and Leaders knows the location of the Moonpools, and they are a well-kept secret as to preserve the one location that the Clans are able to commune with StarClan and the Divines. However, the Moonpools are entirely invisible to the average Guardian. These pools reside beneath the river during the vast majority of the time, and only rise up out of the waters during the half-moon, or when the presence of a Healer or Leader is detected.

The Moonpools are pristine and quiet, with warm waters undisturbed by wind or rain. They catch the glint of the moon and sky up above and reflect the stars. A touch of the nose or drink of the water is enough to turn visitors drowsy. However, if a Guardian or Apprentice manages to make it to the Moonpools during the window they are above the waters, they do not dream, nor are they able to communicate with their ancestors.

The Farlands is the term used for any territory that rests beyond the borders of the Great Valley, full of fierce predators and oddities yet to be explored by the Clans. 

Multiple types of overgrown beasts reside here, from large-winged dragons to creatures as sharp and cunning as the Clan cats themselves. Dense forests, star-touching mountains, deep, dark oceans, and vast tundras can all be found here- but this is unknown to the Clans. On occasion, mysterious and curious cats will appear from the Farlands.
