Clans of the Rise[Warriors]

-----------------------------
| Clans of the Rise | Prologue |
-----------------------------

For longer than any cat could remember, the great cats had lived in the forest. LionClan, TigerClan, and LeopardClan thrived. But just like that, they were gone.

No cat knows why, but the great cats vanished. But as soon as the great cats vanished, new Clans arrived in the forest. Their names were ThunderClan, ShadowClan, WindClan, and RiverClan.

The new Clans were alike to the great cats in many ways; they followed a set of rules called the Warrior Code, they held Gatherings where every cat would meet under the full moon truce, and were led by a leader cat with nine lives.

But soon enough, two-legged creatures came to the forest and cut down all the trees. No cat could have survived. And so, the new Clans had to move.

But slowly, the trees started to grow back. Centuries later, the forest was as lush as before, and new cats arrived in the forest.

Their names were RoseClan, IceClan, DuskClan, and MoonClan.

Thats it for the prologue xD This is my first fanfic by the way.

For those who dont know who the Warriors are, I will post guides/references later.

Feel free to give constructive criticism and/or point out any grammatical errors.

The Code (Rules)-
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.
One should never 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 of all four 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.
Boundaries must be checked and marked. Challenge all trespassing cats.
No warrior may neglect a kit in pain or in danger, even if that kit is from a different Clan.
The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code.
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.
A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet.
A few of the things regarding the warrior code, as implied by the Clan cats, are:
The Clan is to be fed before any individual cat.
The safety of the Clan is more important than that of any individual cat.
Each Clan has specific borders.
Prey is not to be stolen from another Clan's territory.
Clan borders are not to be crossed (unless of special occasions going to Highstones/Moonpool, or, at the lake, crossing one another's territory to get to Gatherings)
A Gathering lasts as long as the moon is highest in the sky.
There is a truce during the Gathering.
Under no circumstances may the truce be broken.
Medicine cats may not fall in love nor have kits.
Cats may not fall in love with nor have kits with cats from other Clans.
Kits must be at least six moons old to be an apprentice.
Kits may not leave the camp without permission.
Kits may not learn to hunt until they are apprenticed.
Apprentices must accompany the leader to Highstones/the Moonpool as a part of their training.
Newly made warriors must sit vigil for their first night and guard the camp in silence.
Warriors may not kill in cold blood.
Warriors must show compassion.
A deputy must be chosen before moonhigh of the previous deputy's resignation or death.
To be a deputy a cat must have had an apprentice.
Warriors may not attack a medicine cat.
Cats have free passage to the Highstone/Moonpool.
There may be no more nor less than four Clans in the forest. (Implied but not enforced all the time)
Strangers should be driven from a Clan's territory.
Warriors do not fight to kill; they fight to prove their strength and defend their territory.
