{ DETAILS }
The importance of eating is something that all the groups concern themselves with every day. They eat to keep up their strength and maintain the health of the group as a whole.
Each group over the last few seasons has developed its own hunting specialty, due to the terrain they are familiar with and the traditions that will later be raised.
Many different species of prey are on the menu for our characters, which this list will go into more detail about. Prey remains are usually buried (fur, bones, etc.).
{ Crowfood }
A term for prey that has become rotten and unsuitable to eat. Prey is usually considered crowfood after about one or two days since it was killed.
Some cats, if they are hungry enough, will resort to eating crowfood when prey is low. But doing so is well known to lead to sickness and even diseases.
Another word for Crowfood is ‘Carrion’.
