Warriors-Omen of Thunder-Book 1- Lightning of the Storm

Code

Hey I just realized some people reading might not know the warrior code. So here is the code of the clan and some warrior stuff if you haven't read Erin Hunter's books.

1. Defend your clan even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other clans, but your loyalty must remain to your clan.

2. Don't hunt or trespass on an other clans territory. (This one is broken in every book because of the battles.)

3. Elders and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to Starclan for it's life.

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

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

7. A cat can not be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

8. The deputy will become clan leader when the leaders dies or retires. (I have read all the warrior books and yet I don't think a leader ever retired.)

9. After death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

10. A gathering of all clans is held at full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among clans at this time.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.

12. No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if the kit is in another clan,

13. The word of a clan leader is the warrior code

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his or her battles, unless they are outside of the warrior code or it is self defense.

15. A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
