Synopsis under the cut.

Code One: Protect your Clan, even with your life. Your loyalty lays with the clan first, but all cats under the code are your allies. Each Clan must ensure its success first over others. Each Clan is to be respected and allowed traditions of their own.

Code Two: an honorable worker need not kill other cats to win battles, unless the cat is outside the code, or it is in self-defense.

Code Three: The leader and their kin will be fed first, then elders, the expectant and their kits, the sick or wounded, then workers and apprentices may have their fill.

Code Four: Leader > Foreman = Head Doctor = Head Therapist. Leader's Kin > Non leader/not direct descendants. Non leader kin = not direct descendants.

Code 5: The Clans must gather at each full moon's apex for exchange of news, border disputes, and declarations of war.

Code six: regardless of clan or status, no cat can neglect a kit, the expectant, or elder in danger.

Code seven: foreman will become the leader after the death, retirement, or exile of the previous leader. Any worker may start an inquiry as to the fitness of the Leader, but such concerns can not be brought by the Foreman. 2/3rds of the clan must agree to the leader's removal, where the foreman must take all the lives of the leader, in camp, and paint their pelt in the Leader's blood. Only then will starclan accept a new leader of the clan.

Code eight: a child will be made an apprentice worker at 6 moons, no sooner. A newly named worker will keep silent vigil for one week after their naming.

Code nine: a worker may change Clans, but their new clan must challenge their loyalty however the leader sees fit. If they fail they will be exiled from both clans for one moon.
