Under the leadership of Captain Hazelfur, the Reliable Earth, Field Colony is a secluded colony that manages their own affairs quietly. Field Colony has several bases that are used at different times throughout the year to ensure that none of the fields are over-hunted.
Their territory lies to the east of Alliance Lake and borders the wastelands beyond, leaving them the most open to attacks by predators and renegade mages.Council: Forestleaf (Second), Swifttail (Elder), Mistysnow (Herbalist), Goldenpelt (Envoy)

Under the leadership of Captain Hawkshell, the Soaring Protector, Marsh Colony has continued to closely follow the Ancestors’ Law and its own traditions. The rangers of the marshes tread carefully to avoid threats both natural and superstitious.
Their territory encompasses the bogs and marshes to the west of Alliance Lake. It is a treacherous land to navigate, something the rangers of the Marsh-lands see as a point of pride.Council: Leafstorm (Second), Whitefire (Elder), Rosethorn (Elder), Bramblefur (Elder), Mousetail (Envoy), Indigoeyes (Envoy), Kestrelsnap (Envoy), Sunfire (Envoy)

Under the leadership of Captain Elmtail, the Steadfast Branch, Oak Colony has gained influence in the affairs of the other colonies, particularly Marsh Colony. Always eager to prove themselves, rangers of the Oak-lands are often friendly and competitive.
The lush and varied forests to the north of Alliance Lake are home to this amicable colony. Many outsiders who attempt to become part of the Alliance find it easier to join this group of cats.Council: Brackenfoot (Second), Yellowflower (Elder), Birchwhisker (Elder), Redleaf (Envoy), Vinestripe (Envoy), Dawnfrost (Envoy), Hailstorm (Envoy)

Under the leadership of Captain Rainfall, the Shimmering Star, River Colony has rapidly undergone changes in its ranks. Many formerly respected rangers have seemingly left the colony, replaced by newcomers who are absolute in their loyalty to Captain Rainfall.
The River-lands are a paradise of colorful plants and prey to the south of Alliance Lake, protected by the sea and the numerous waterways for which it is named. Yet, many young members of the colony have died from being pushed to be ready to navigate these waters too soon...Council: Iceclaw (Second), Frozenpool (Elder), Creekbend (Elder), Rockyshore (Elder), Pineclaw (Envoy)
