The Code

About
The Warrior Code is a code that all cats must follow, but occasionally broken. If you break just one rule by accident, you most likely will go to Starclan. But if you do bad things purposely, you may go to the Dark Forest.

The Code

 * 1) You must defend your Clan even at the cost of your life.  You can have relationships in other Clans, but your loyalty stays in your own Clan, as you will battle someday.
 * 2) Do not tresspass on another territory.(Unless you are going to the Moonlake or a Gathering.)
 * 3) Elders, queens, and kits eat before warriors, leaders, medicine cats, and apprentinces.(Unless a warrior or apprentince is given a special pass or is wounded.)
 * 4) Prey is killed to be eaten, thank Starclan for its life.
 * 5) Kits must be 6 moons to become apprentinces.
 * 6) A warrior must sit vigil for the rest of the night after recieving their warrior name.
 * 7) A warrior must have an apprentince to become a deputy.
 * 8) The deputy becomes leader after the leader retires, dies, or goes into exile.
 * 9) A deputy must be chosen before Moonhigh.
 * 10) A gathering is peaceful for the entire night.  There will not be any fighting.
 * 11) Boundaries must be marked daily.  Any tresspassers must be attacked unless they need to go to the Moonlake or to a Gathering, or any other reasonable cause.
 * 12) No cat should neglect a kit in danger, even if the kit was from a different Clan or is a rogue, loner, or kittypet.
 * 13) The word of the Clan Leader is the Warrior Code.(Unless they say that you don't have to listen to the Warrior Code.)
 * 14) A cat does not need to kill to win battles.
 * 15) A warrior must reject the life of a kittypet.
 * 16) Medicine cats can't have a mate or kits.
 * 17) Kits must stay in camp until they are 6 moons.
 * 18) The safety of the Clan is more important than the safety of one.
 * 19) Clans must not unite to drive another Clan out.
 * 20) Clans will not force other Clans to share territory.
 * 21) Enemy patrols must not attack enemies if they are on a mission they all agree on.
 * 22) The remaining parent of a kit takes them to their Clan.  If the mother dies then the father takes them to their Clan, and vice-versa.
