Sky Cavern

Area Descriptions

Cavern Entrance: The entrance to the cave that the Cielo Pack calls home.

Main Cavern: A large chamber within the cavern that serves as the main living area.

Prey Stone: A small ledge in the Main Cavern on which prey is placed.

Nursery: One of two small chambers within the Cavern, it is here that the Cuidadores and their Perritos live.

Healing Chamber: One of two small chambers within the Cavern, it is where the Sanador and Sanador Jovenes live, store their herbs, and care for the ill and injured members of the pack.

Stream Tunnel: The stream runs through a tunnel underneath the mountains, through part of the Sky Cavern, and then surfaces and flows down to join the river.

Tunnelpath: A section of stone over the north section of the stream. The stream flows underneath it, and the wolves use it to cross the stream.

Earth Den: Just on the west side of the stream, it is an open section within the cavern where the wolves that are mixed with land creatures prefer to sleep.

Air Ledge: A ledge to the west of the stream and Earth Den, where the winged wolves prefer to sleep. Though it does have lower ledges forming a path up onto it, that path is steep. It is typically reached through flight.

Water Island: Located in the center of the stream, south of the Earth Den and Air Ledge, it is an island on which the wolves mixed with water creatures prefer to sleep. It is reached by crossing the stream, which is easiest to do by swimming, as it is chest deep on a full-grown wolf.

Please Note: The sleeping locations are suggestions, not requirements. If mates wish to share the same sleeping location, they generally choose either one of them, or an area between the two (such as at the base of the Air Ledge, or on the Earth Den side of the stream).
