The Ten Clans Warrior Code was adapted from the Warrior Code in the Secrets of the Clans Warrior Field Guide. Some of it is direct quote from the book. I am not claiming any of this as my own, except for the parts I have changed myself.
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, as one day you may meet them in battle.
2)One should never hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory.
3)Elders 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.
4)Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to DreamClan for its 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) The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires at the Leader Switch.
8) A gathering of all ten Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among the Clans at this time.
9)Boundaries must be checked and marked. Challenge all trespassing cats.
10)No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.
11) The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
12)An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense.
13)A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
14)The Clan is to be fed before any individual cat.
15) The safety of the Clan is more important than that of any individual cat.
16)Each Clan has specific borders.
17)Prey is not to be stolen from another Clan's territory.
Clan borders are not to be crossed (unless of special occasions going to Dream Falls or Ten Stones)
18)There is a truce during the Gathering.
Under no circumstances may the truce be broken.
19)Kits may not leave the camp without permission.
20)Kits may not learn to hunt until they are apprenticed.
21)Apprentices must accompany the leader to Dream Falls as a part of their training.
22)Warriors may not kill in cold blood.
23)Warriors must show compassion.
24)Warriors may not attack a medicine cat.
25) Cats have free passage to Dream Falls.
26)There may be no more nor less than ten Clans in the forest.
27)Strangers should be driven from a Clan's territory.
28)Cats should show mercy to cats who ask for help.
29)Warriors do not fight to kill; they fight to prove their strength and defend their territory.
