Greetings, fellow members of ANR! As we recall, the previous events that had occurred recently involved with WindClan and ShadowClan driven out of their homes from an earthquake. Well, just like in the books, the clans will have to find a new home to support their needs, yes? Tambourine, who was in search for a map maker, came across me and asked me to be it. Knowing me, I accepted it and got straight to work.
My goal here is to accomplish not one, but four separate maps supporting your RP experience with ANR and making it rich and a memory worth to remember. This thread is essentially created to inform you of the progress being made, and even reveal some pictures of it in work. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or comment below. Avoid inquiring such questions such as "when will it be done?" or "can you tell us when it's done?" because honestly, my friend, I simply, do not know. Of course, thanks to school, it may take a minimum of 4-5 days or so, but I'll try my best to keep a fast pace.

Featuring:
1st Map
A beach. Yes, an ocean. Here, the gatherings will take place. Loners can stroll along the seaside, or enjoy the salty breeze. There isn't going to be much here, other than of course, a gathering place, some palm trees, and ferns. A two-leg place will be to the north of the ocean, where you get the experience of a kittypet. For those who look for more in the buildings, furniture and items will be inserted in there, I promise. Backyards, too.
2nd Map
Tunnels. The tunnels will connect to the three other maps, believe it or not. This will be important to get to the Moonrock. And boy, I believe it will be confusing at first try in traveling within it. Don't be too ashamed; I won't make it easy on purpose.
3rd Map
Moonrock. The reason why this would be separate from the second map is because of the fact that there will not be a ceiling. I won't be revealing much else. Haha. Let it be a secret.
4th Map
Of course, it's where the four clans take place. All the camps will have their own shape, dens, and lifestyle. Each will be different. Forget the boring default rock dens, and begin with creativity, shall we?
Pictures
Moonrock
How it Came to Be: Back when the earthquake occurred, WindClan and ShadowClan's camps weren't the only landmarks affected. Somewhere in the tunnels, a cave full of mysterious crystals which didn't emit a light before was hidden among it. After the rumbling mess the natural disaster made, the roof of the cave collapsed, revealing the minerals such as the Moonrock itself to the sun and moon, hence why it "glows". The floor is hard and sandy, making it insufficient to host life such as trees, grass, and plants. Only StarClan knows that the earthquake had its one benefit.
WindClan Camp | Grassy Gorge
How it Came to Be: Just like the Moonrock, this ravine was also affected. More crags jutted out of the sides, the gorge grew longer and deeper, but surprisingly, the life there adjusted quickly. WindClan has a clear view of the sky and the stars glittering among them, giving them a peace knowing that StarClan watches.
RiverClan Camp | Divided Creek
How it Came to Be: Not much is known to be attacked by the same earthquake. It caused the river rapids which came to be at one side of the creek, and the stepping stones. Other than that, it was just like before, with rich life such as trees, roots, and grass growing there.
ThunderClan Camp | Serene Ravine
How it Came to Be: Just like WindClan's camp, it wasn't as deep as it was today, and didn't have a small stream running down the middle of it. Rocks began to sprout from the walls, as did roots from many trees.
ShadowClan Camp | Mottled Marshland
How it Came to Be: With each growing flood, the pools which stood next to this camp grew and grew, but then stopped abruptly, with each flood occurring less. The earthquake had made stubs of boulders grow from the ground and stick up, a nice addition to the defending skirts of camp. Although it doesn't look pretty comfortable to most, it's fitting for ShadowClan and the thick canopy of the trees from there give out a dark effect within their home.
This thread will be updated with recent news on the maps constantly, so keep an eye out, and happy role-playing!

Will this fill up Cape Portal with four portals?
A: No. I will disable Cape Portal for the other three maps, so that only the portal to the Beach Map shows.
