The Warrior Code

 * Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan.
 * Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
 * Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.
 * Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to Starclan for its life.
 * A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
 * Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
 * A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
 * The deputy will become clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
 * After the death or retirement of a deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
 * A gathering of all clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among clans at this time.
 * Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different clan.
 * The word of the clan leader is the warrior code.
 * An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his or her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
 * A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
