Nightclan Warrior Code

1. Defend your clan with your life, if you must. You may have friendships with cats outside of Nightclan, but your loyalty MUST remain to Nightclan, even if you end up having to fight them one day in battle.


2. Do not hunt or trespass outside the clan territory, should we ever border another clan no entering or hunting in their territory.


3. Before you may eat Elders, kits and queens must be fed before apprentices and warriors, unless given permission by your mentor or leader.


4. A cat may not kill for fun, they kill to feed the clan and only their clan. Treat your prey with respect for they are given their life so that the clan may survive. Give thanks to the great Night Cat for it's life.


5. A kit may not begin their training until they have turned six moons old.


6. Once you have received your warrior name you will sit a silent vigil for one whole day.


7. A cat can only be made Deputy if they have shown their strength in at least one battle, trained an apprentice and are at least thirty six moons of age.


8. When the leader passes on the deputy will travel to the Night Rock at high son and sleep so he may receive his Leader name and nine lives. Until he does a cat is not seen as the true leader of the clan.


9. After a Deputy passes away or retires a new deputy must be made before Sun high.


10. Boundaries must be checked at Dawn, High Moon, Dusk and High Sun.


11. No warrior is to neglect or ignore a kit in pain or danger even if it is not one of Nightclan.


12. The word of the clan leader is law.


13. An honorable warrior doesn't need to kill to win battles but must kill if there is no other option to protect themselves or their clan/clan mates.


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


15. A true Nightclan member cherishes the night over the day.


16. All warriors share in the duty of training an apprentice, each day a different warrior takes the apprentice out to teach them so they learn many different ways instead of only one. When they have been training for a moon their final mentor is chosen based on which one the apprentice best learns from.


17. All apprentices must go with their leader and mentor to The Great Moon Rock and dream before they may receive their warrior name. Apprentices are usually taken around nine or ten moons of age.


18. Once a moon a group of Nightclan cats are chosen to go and dream with The Great Night Cat and The Great Moon Rock. Each moon a new goup of cats are chosen so that no one goes twice in a row.

19. Every other Full Moon Nightclan chooses a few lucky cats to go to the gathering with her. The ones that always go are the medicine cat and the deputy.
