THE CARNAL COMMANDMENTS.

lesser laws and rights.

QUEENS’ RIGHTS. queens may choose whether or not to reveal the sire to their litter, regardless of his origin. mating outsiders such as codeless is allowed to preserve genetic diversity, though consorting with everkits is forbidden.

regardless of their origin, kits belong to their queen’s clan unless that clan has decided otherwise. kittens born of different clans fall under the care of the matriarch and the clan whether or not the queen is still around. the offending queen and sire shall be punished accordingly. kittens born of codeless are not to be challenged unless the loyalty of the queen is called into question.

THE FOURTREES TRUCE. every full moon all the clans will gather at fourtrees to converse and share news of the land. during the night of full moon, whether at or outside of fourtrees, the grey wing truce must be held. no cats may fight under silverpelt’s open eye.

THE WARRIOR OATH. under the sacred oath of being bound by warrior blood, warriors reject the soft life of an everkit. warriors shall not, without reason, step foot within twolegplace, eat their food or converse with everkits. everkits should be challenged fiercely at the border and made to flee, refrain from direct bodily contact.

SEERHOOD. seers have a code of their own, often called silverpelt’s code. breaking any of the rules will cause a seer to be stripped of their role and silenced of their voice.

seers may not take a mate or bear kits, their devotion shall remain to silverpelt and silverpelt alone. close friendships that may interfere with this are encouraged to be challenged.

upon a former warrior becoming a seer, they must be stripped of their claws and wade in the pool they find that reflects the moon, cleansing their soul of the sins committed under their previous role. their name shall be stripped from them and after their vigil they shall reemerge by a new name. likewise, seers shall not shed blood.

seers shall not speak falsehoods, speak poison and fear into the hearts of their clanmates, or speak of themself as though equivalent to silverpelt.

do not challenge seers, stars and seconds on their way to mothermouth. the code may be upheld, such as preystealing, where applicable. seers are free to wander with purpose, but not without. seers must always be accompanied by a trained cat on outtings.

sort of a redraw. more so bringing an old concept from 2 years ago to life.
