SkyClan's Warrior Code:

1. Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats outside of the Clan, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle.

2. Do not hunt or trespass on territory that belongs to another cat unless necessary for the good of the Clan.

3. Elders, queens, 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. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating.

4. Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life.

5. A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice.

6. Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name.

7. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice.

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

9. After the death or retirement of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh.

10. A Gathering of all Clan cats is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting during that truce, unless in necessary self-defense.

11. Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Confront all trespassers - but only attack if a clear threat is posed to the Clan. Not all trespassers are enemies.

12. No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from outside of the Clan.

13. The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code - but a leader must lead according to what is best for their Clan, and must listen to criticism from their Clanmates.

14. An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless it is necessary for self-defense or the defense of others.

15. Cats may serve their Clan during the day as daylight warriors and live with twolegs by night as kittypets. However, any other Clan cat must not draw unnecessary attention from twolegs, for the safety of the Clan.

16. Any cat may visit the Clan and take part in training - however, visitors must hunt for the Clan every day, and must stay with the Clan for a full moon before they are taught to fight.

17. Any cat who brings outside danger to the Clan must leave - a Clan is not a fighting force for outsiders to use for their own battles.

18. Clan cats may take outsiders as their mates, or have kits outside of the Clan - however, they must put their loyalty to their Clan first, and kin of Clan cats must adhere to the warrior code while on Clan territory or be chased out.

Nothing too exciting to say here, it's just SkyClan's warrior code as it has deviated from the other Clans' code over the seasons. ^^ A lot of this is straight from Code of the Clans and belongs to the Erin Hunters, but some of it has been tweaked to address the fact that SkyClan doesn't have other Clans to consider, and also to fit SkyClan's more tolerant approach to outsiders. The new laws that Leafstar added at the end of SkyClan's destiny have also been added, as well as the code mentioned in Sasha's Calling about outsiders being acceptable as mates for Clan cats.
