StrikeClan Law:

1. Harmed or elderly cats must be exiled from StrikeClan or killed by the Clan leader, no exceptions.

2. Everyone in StrikeClan is encouraged to mate except a medicine cat with no apprentice.

3. StrikeClan kits are apprenticed at three moons old but are not allowed to begin fighting battles until six moons old. This does not mean they cannot learn battle moves.

4. Kits may leave camp if they are accompanied by at least one warrior.

5. Apprentices are not allowed to eat until they've fed the queens or medicine cats.

6. In battle it is encouraged that a StrikeClan cat kill her/his enemy, however it is not required.

7. StrikeClan cats must listen to their leader. Their leader's words are law and if not followed he/she may punish how they see fit.

8. The deputy is allowed to challenge a weak leader or a leader that does not follow the code. This challenge means that they fight to the death, if the deputy wins the leader is to leave. If the leader wins they are to pick another deputy immediately.

9. At the full moon all cats must sit vigil in the camp clearing and worship StarClan.

10. Medicine cats must fast for two days on the half-moon to worship StarClan.

11. After an apprentice becomes a warrior they get first pick of prey and then they patrol around the edges of the camp to honor StarClan and StrikeClan. Disobeying this law results in death.
