Warrior Cats (Warriors) is a book series created by Erin Hunter about feral cats living in groups called "Clans." The first series (The Prophecies Begin) follows young Firepaw as he advances through the ranks of his Clan. There are 5 other series. Each series contains six books each. Sometimes there are "SUPER EDITIONS" that show the point of view from a certain character/characters. There are field books too for more general Clan information and information about the cats. _____________________________ Guide: -What makes the Clans special? -The Clans -Ranks -Names for Ranks -Prefixes and Suffixes -Warrior Code -Extra information about the games. _____________________________ What makes the Clans special? _____________________________ Built upon nobility and bloodshed, the four Clans live under a strict code. They are guided by their spirit ancestors, StarClan. The opposite of StarClan is The Dark Forest, where cats who have done wrong or broken the code (Warrior Code) are sent to. There have been exceptions throughout the series for cats who have broken the code. _____________________________ The Clans _____________________________ ThunderClan - The Clan most of the series is focused on. They live in the forest and hunt in the undergrowth. This Clan is normally respectful of the other Clans. They sometimes take kittypets and loners into their ranks. Doing so, they are looked down upon by the other Clans. They have excellent stalking techniques, and they are strong and loyal. They fight for what is right. RiverClan - Live in marshy/foresty areas, main prey is fish. Cats in RiverClan love to swim and are excellent fishers. They are well groomed and have sleek pelts. They are very clever and strong cats. They are a more conservative Clan. WindClan - This Clan lives on the moors. Their main prey is rabbit, and they are agile and thin. Their territory has no trees, and warriors and apprentices do not sleep in dens, as they believe they are closer to StarClan by doing so. They rarely start fights. ShadowClan - Lives in a marshy/pine part of the forest. They are known for hunting frogs, and being ominous. ShadowClan has a known bloodline of corrupted leaders, and are the most untrustworthy between the Clans. They are proud, loyal, defensive, and slightly arrogant. _____________________________ Others _____________________________ Kittypets: Cats owned by humans/twolegs. They normally wear collars. Rogues: Cats who do not live by the Warrior Code. Normally outcasts of the Clans, or cats who do as they please. They are normally not born into Clans, and most do not approve of the Clans. Loners: Cats who do not mind the Clans, stay out of Clan business. _____________________________ Ranks (Lowest to highest) _____________________________ Kit - A cat who has just been born or is young. Queen - Cat who has given birth to kittens. They retire to the nursery. Apprentice - Once a kit reaches 6 moons, (months), they become an apprentice and are trained by either a medicine cat or warrior. They perform chores for the Clan. Warrior - After 6 moons of training, (once a cat is 1 year old,) they should become a warrior after being given proper training. They are the defenders of the Clan, and hunt and guard the borders. These cats are the majority of the Clan. Elder - A cat who has retired from their role. They are normally old and too frail to perform their duties. There are very minimal of them.

Cats may travel on other Clan territories if they have something to report or ask for help. _____________________________ Warrior Cats Game Rules: https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=192973132 Clan Terminology: http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=150367655 _____________________________ Relive the code, Tell the tale.
