NO RUDE COMENTS
The Basics
Clans ~ A clan is always something like ThunderClan, or BoulderClan, but never, Clan of Thunder, or Clan of Boulder
Clan Ranks ~ There are eight very important positions that make up a clan. They include, kits, queens, elders, apprentices, warriors, a medicine cat, a deputy, and a leader.
Clan Names ~ A cat's name varies depending on its rank. When a kit is born its mother gives it a name like Leaf, or Stone. That cat is then known as ____kit depending on the name it is given. When a cat becomes an apprentice the suffix of its name changes from kit to paw. When an apprentice becomes a warrior the suffix of its name changes once again to whatever the leader decides. Examples: Amberheart, Hawkeye, Stormfur.
When a cat becomes leader and claims its nine lives from StarClan it also claims its new name. In other words, a leaders name always ends with Star.
Clan Traditions ~ StarClan watches over every cat in the forest. Clan cats worship and honor them. Medicine cats often a special bond with StarClan and leaders go to them for their nine lives. Saying thanks to StarClan is not the only traditions clan cats have, during mid to late afternoon they often lie down together and share tongues (groom each others fur).
Forbidden Names ~ Anything that has to do with the stars or the moon; Lunar, Luna, Moon, Star, Sun, Eclipse, ect.
Mentors and Apprentices ~ Mentoring an apprentice basically means to train the young cat in hunting, fighting, and the ways of StarClan. If an apprentice misbehaves, or breaks the warrior code the mentor may punish them any way they please.
Medicine Cats ~ Medicine cats are most of the time destined from birth to take on the challenge of healing. Medicine cat apprentices are taught by their medicine cat mentors to know each and every herb by heart. They are also taught to interpret signs from StarClan. There is a downside to being a medicine cats, they are not allow to have mates.
Deputies and Leaders ~ A deputy becomes leader after the old leader dies, or retires. A new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh if the old deputy dies, or retires. A cat can only become deputy if they have mentored at least one cat.
Patrols ~ Patrols are sent out multiple times each day by the deputy. On a regular patrol cats are allowed to catch prey for themselves, while on a hunting patrol all prey is to be caught and brought back for the camp.
Loners, Rouges, and Kittypets
Finally we're moving on to the warrior code.
Warrior Code
~ Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other clans, but your loyalty must remain with your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.
~ Do not hunt or trespass on another clan's territory.
~ 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.
~ Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.
~ A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.
~ 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.
~ The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies or retires.
~ After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.
~ A gathering 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.
~ Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.
~ No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if the kit is from a different clan.
~ The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code
~ A 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
~ A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet

The Tribe
The Tribe exists alternately to the Clans:
~Instead of Warriors, the Tribe is made up of Prey-Hunters and Cave-Guards. Tribe positions are chosen right after the cat is born, depending on what build the cat has. When the cat turns 6 moons, they become To-bes (Apprentices), who are trained by cats from whichever position was decided for them.
~Tribe cats are supposedly named after what the mother sees first after the kit is born. The kits are given their full names after birth, unlike Warriors.
Examples: Cascade That Glistens On Water, Phantom That Lurks At Dusk, Falcon That Soars On Wind, ect.
~The Healer is the Leader and Medicine Cat. They all share the name of Teller of Pointed Stones (Stoneteller). When he or she feels necessary, the Healer picks a single kit to apprentice. The cat learns the skills of a Healer and later becomes Healer.
~The Healer interprets signs through the water, sky, earth, ect. They go to the Cave of Pointed Stones to contact with the Tribe of Endless Hunting every Half-moon.
~Prey for the Tribe includes mice, hawks, eagles, ect. Enemies include eagles, wolves, other cats, ect.
~Tribe cats streak their pelts with mud to blend with the surroundings in order to catch prey. |
