Leading a Clan can be both difficult, and rewarding.
Your job as a Clan leader is to hold all of the clan gatherings, ceremonies, report clan news at full moons, appoint new Deputies, Warriors, Elders, Apperntices/Mentors, choose Warrior names, and make all clan decisions. You can be a tough but fair leader, or a strict yet caring leader. It is your choice how you lead your clan, but you must follow the Warrior code, and not be too ambitious.


---Ceremonies---


When a kit becomes an Apprentice, an Apprentice becomes a Warrior, a Warrior retires, there is a new Deputy, or you are calling a clan gathering, you must say these words.

Gatherings

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather [insert leaders perch here] for a clan meeting."

Apprentice Ceremony

By naming this Apprentice, we show that [Insert Clan name here] will survive and remain strong. [Insert kit name here], from now on you will be known as [Insert Apprentice name here]....
[Insert mentor name here], you are ready for an Apprentice, You will be [Insert Apprentice name here]'s mentor.

Warrior Ceremony

[Insert Apprentice name here], you [Insert qualities to become a Apprentice here]. It is time for you to become a Warrior. I name you [Insert Warrior name here]. Do you promise to uphold the Warrior code, and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?
[Wait for response of, 'I do.']
Then I commend you to EternalClan, to become a Warrior.

(Note- Every newly made warrior must sit a silent vigil that night to watch over the camp for their sleeping clanmates)

Retirement Ceremony

[Insert Warrior name here], is it your wish to give up the name of a Warrior and go to join the elders?
[Wait for response of, 'It is.']
Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon EternalClan to give you many seasons of rest.

(Note- Sometimes the Elders take on new names. For example, in the Warriors series, a cat named Sparrowpelt was caught in a fight with a badger, and lost half of his tail, and then took on the name Halftail and joined the Elders.)
