CODE OF BONES

We do things a little differently around here.

The Rules

.001 Loyalty to your clan is mandatory. Betrayal is punishable not just by exile, but by death.

.002 Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. If you do, whatever the other clan decides to do to you upon capture is not negotiable by your own clan. There will be no savior coming to your rescue.

.003 Queens, and kits must be fed before warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the queens and kits are eating.

.004 A kit must be at least three moons old to become an apprentice.

.005 Newly appointed warriors must prove themselves in battle before they may be allowed to join their brethren in the den.

.006 A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least three apprentices to adulthood, and surviving tributary once.

.007 The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires or is exiled.

.008 After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before sunhigh.

.009 A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the no moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time besides that of the tributes.

.010 Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats.

.011 No warrior may neglect a kit of their own clan, if it is in danger or in pain.

.012 The word of the Clan Leader is law.

.013 A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet, the selfish life of a loner, and the honorable life of a hero.

.014 A cat cannot mate unless the pairing has been approved by the leader.
