You do not want any patrols or battles getting into your camp. Once you've selected an area for your den, start placing thickets around the edges of your tile. This is where you sleep and save your game. In the upper right corner of your screen, next to the map icon, there is a new icon that gives you the option to place your 'den'.
Next, you will want to find a suitable tile for a den-preferably, having a few or no trees/rocks/battles.
They can only be placed on the tile where your den is. Thickets are protective walls around your camp/den that nothing can walk through.
You will want to find brambles, the key to making thickets. From now on, Trainer Tune will always be at Fourtrees to enhance your skills (killing bite, feral slash, etc.). You cannot be attacked there and, as of version 15, cannot place your den here. When you first start out, you spawn at Fourtrees. To become a rogue, you can either be kicked out of your clan for reputation going below 0, or, can begin as a rogue when you mark the 'Tutorial OFF' box. Being a rogue and starting a rogue clan gives a large amount of freedom and control over your own story. You may think of being kicked out of your clan to become a rogue is a tragedy-but that's just not so.
