The Valleys

In the valleys between the mountains, there are multiple small lakes, which are the clan's primary source of water. Herbs also grow more predominantly here than anywhere else in FlameClan's territory, which is, of course, where the medicine cat must go to get the medicine needed to treat sick cats. It is a bit of a hassle for cats to get water and herbs from down in the valleys back up to camp, so patrolling cats often bring water and herbs back to camp on their way back up after a patrol. If busy, the medicine cat may also send apprentices to fetch herbs for them, but most of the time, the medicine cat will take a few cats with them to gather herbs so trips up and down the mountain are less frequent and energy-sapping.
