Please see bottom if you'd like to break the code. 1. Defend all the Clans, even with your life. Your first loyalty is to your Clan, but all cats who follow the warrior code are your allies. Each Clan must ensure that no other Clan falls. 2. Nevertheless, each Clan is proud and independent, with traditions that must always be respected. 3. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the code, or it is necessary for self-defense. 4. Elders, queens, sick or injured cats, 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 and queens. 5. A Gathering of all three Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. If any battles are held, the Gathering must be dismissed 6. No cat may neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. 7. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice unless there are special orders from StarClan. 8. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled unless another cat challenges the deputy. 9. After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh. 10. If a Clan member believes that their leader is no longer leading with honor and integrity, they can challenge them. Three-quarters of the Clan members, including their medicine cats, must agree. Their objections will then be presented to the leaders of the other Clans. If the other leaders agree, all medicine cats will request that StarClan remove the leader's remaining lives and give them to the deputy. These objections cannot be raised by the deputy. 11. A warrior or medicine cat may switch their allegiance from one Clan to another but must meet a set of conditions. The cat wishing to change Clans must perform a task of their intended Clan’s choosing. If they succeed, it will be deemed StarClan’s will that they change Clans, and their request will be granted. 12. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. 13. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name, with no exceptions. 14. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice, and being a warrior for 12 moons. 15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. 16. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats—but a warrior must always remember that all cats follow the warrior code. Exceptions - Cats on their way to the Stalagmite or Gathering are allowed to cross other Clans' territories to get to their destination -Cats may travel on other Clan territories if they have something to report or to ask for help. -The code is flexible about leadership challenges. Cats may challenge a weak or cruel leader if their Clan is in danger, and if their leadership threatens the Clan, the code expects a warrior to challenge their leader. Additional rules The following rules are not specifically stated in the warrior code, but are expected to be followed: Medicine cats may have a mate, but not kits, as they must be able to heal all cats equally. Kits must stay in camp until they are apprenticed, and are not allowed to hunt. The safety of the Clan as a whole is more important than the safety of one cat. Clans must not unite together to drive out another Clan. Clans must not force another Clan to share territory. Enemy patrols must not attack cats if they are on a mission that all three Clans have agreed upon. Cats cannot eat when going to the Moonstone or Moonpool to speak with StarClan. That's it!
