A sacred place in the heart of every PineClan cat is the Great Pine. In this area there are huge, towering pine trees with thick branches and especially sharp needles. This place is a great area for apprentices to practice climbing or even battle moves. The ground is coated with a soft layer of premature pine needles, which makes the ground squishy and ideal for battle training. Pinesnarl, the PineClan founder, was buried beneath the middle-most tree. His grave is lined with a number of stones, pretty flowers and much more. Most PineClan warriors who pass by here stop to pay their respects.
