A/N Stuff to note

First off if these Notes seem like a split personality that's because they are there are 3 of us that are writing this book and have been for the past 4 years or so they are

there are our 3 authors. Now onto more important things such as 

Differences to the warrior code.    

This is the warrior and Medicine cat code followed in our Clans

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.

Nevertheless, each Clan is proud and independent, with traditions that must always be respected.

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.

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.

A Gathering of all five Clans is held at every other full moon during a truce that lasts for the night.

No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan.

A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled.

After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.

Boundaries must be checked and marked. Challenge all trespassing cats—but a warrior must always remember that all cats follow the warrior code

Medicine Cat Code

1. A medicine cat may not have kits, Unless there is a fully trained medicine cat to take their place while they have kits or they are male.

2. A medicine cat may only retire when their apprentice is ready to take their place.

3. A medicine cat shares dreams with only StarClan.

4. A medicine cat will never let personal feelings get in the way of their duties.

5. Medicine cats are outside Clan rivalry.

6. A medicine cat may be trained as a warrior before a medicine cat

7. A medicine cat cannot become a normal warrior. Unless they have a fully trained apprentice ready to replace them.
