nursery

Beside the warriors' den is the nursery, another den made of tightly woven, thick reed walls. The nursery is spacious enough to fit several queens and their brood snuggly. It's the den closest to the river and the most likely to be affected by floodwaters if the river swells. The proximity to the river lets the queens take their kits for swimming lessons without straying too far from the den. Queens have to keep an extra eye on their kits to make sure none of them wander too close to the water unsupervised.
