The Code

The Code is a list of 15 different rules that should be followed by all Clan cats.

The Warrior Code

 * 1) Defend your Clan, even if it means traveling to Serenity for it. Friendships with other Clans are allowed, but your loyalty must stay within your own.
 * 2) Trespassing on another Clan's territory is not allowed. They have fought to earn that terrain - pay them respect and keep off their area.
 * 3) Elders, queens, kits, and the sick must be fed before healthy warriors and novices.
 * 4) Prey is killed to be eaten, not used as a plaything. Thank Serenity for its life.
 * 5) A kit may only become a novice at six moons or older. They may not train as novices until then.
 * 6) New warriors must keep a silent patrol for one night after their naming ceremony, to prove they are ready for the often-hard life of a warrior.
 * 7) The deputy must have mentored at least one novice before being named so.
 * 8) The deputy will take the leader's place if the current one is removed from their position, for whatever reason it may be.
 * 9) In the case where the current deputy dies or retires to an elder, a new one must be selected and announced before or at midnight.
 * 10) During the night of the full moon, the Clans must come together. For the full night there is to be no fighting. The end of the Gathering is marked when the moon is covered, or announced so by a leader.
 * 11) Mark and check the borders of your terrain daily. Confront any invading cats.
 * 12) No Clan may neglect a kit in danger or hurt, despite whatever connections it may have.
 * 13) The leader's word may be argued with, but if they declare it so, it is to be followed.
 * 14) Clan members do not kill others unless the act is for self-defense or if the cat is outside of the warrior code.
 * 15) Clan members do not accept the life of a kittypet.

The Shaman Code

 * 1) A shaman is not to take a mate.
 * 2) A shaman is not allowed from having kits.
 * 3) A shaman may only retire if their novice is ready.
 * 4) A shaman shares dreams only with Serenity.
 * 5) A shaman can only reveal and talk about dreams with their leader. They may also discuss them with the other Shamans at the half-moon, when they all travel to the Moonpool.
