THE WARRIOR CODE,
several rules have been removed from the warrior code upon the merging of the clans, but the concept remains clear: be an honorable, brave, loyal yet kind and merciful warrior.
one Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with other cats from outside the clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan.
two 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.
three Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
four A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
five Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.
six A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.
seven The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
eight After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
nine Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. This rule mostly refers to rogues or loners, as there are no other clans for threats.
ten No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger.
eleven The word of the Clan leader is law.
twelve An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
thirteen A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
