The Warrior Code of the Clans is a set of rules passed down through generations of warriors, on how to properly act as a Warrior / Queen / Adult, productive member of society. Breaking these rules in character can result in trouble in character - banishment from your clan, stripping of titles, and so forth. The rules ARE prone to adapting and changing - so please keep an eye on putting your paws in the right place!
--- No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.
--- The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.
--- After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
--- A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
--- A Gathering of all four 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.
--- Each Clan has the right to be proud and independent, but in times of trouble they must forget their boundaries and fight side by side to protect the whole. Each Clan must help the others so that no Clan will fall.
--- A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
--- Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
--- An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense.
--- The word of the Clan Leader is the warrior code.
--- A Medicine Cat is not allowed to sire/birth kits. Doing so is a disgrace against Starclan and their clan. Their dedication is to the Clan in it's entirety.
--- Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
--- Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
--- Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.
--- 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.
