REPOST FOR NEWCOMERS

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN SWIFTCLAN, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS. IT MAY TAKE A MINUTE BUT IT IS IMPORTANT.

Welcome to SwiftClan! It’s a clan named after Swiftpaw from The Prophecy Begins arc. It was started many years ago by Stormy, a young kittypet she-cat who had fallen in love with the brave apprentice. She decided to create a clan that wasn’t burdened by many of the rules that most of the clans have, while maintaining the core principles of the Warrior Code. Listed below are the main changes in the SwiftClan Code.

Change 1: Medicine cats can mate as long as they have an apprentice or there is another medicine cat to continue their duties if they end up with kits to look after.
Change 2: A new warrior is allowed to choose their warrior name/suffix. If they are unhappy with the prefix they are given at birth, they are allowed to change their entire name.
Change 3: Rogues, loners, and kittypets who join the clan are not required to have a warrior name. This doesn’t make them any less of a warrior.
Change 4: Cats are allowed mates outside of the clan as long as their loyalty remains with the clan.
Change 5: Cats are allowed to leave the clan whenever they wish, and can return if the leader allows it.
Change 6: Anycat the leader or deputy approves can join the clan.
Change 7: If a cat has a mate outside the clan, that mate is allowed to join the clan.
Change 8: If a she-cat has a mate outside the clan, the kits are raised in the clan but are allowed to leave when they are old enough to become a warrior.
Change 9: If the leader is in some way unable to complete their duties due to a permanent situation, they are able to retire to the elders’ den and reclaim their warrior name. The deputy will take their place.
Change 10: If a leader is acting in ways that are harmful to the clan or it’s members, they can be removed from their position. The same goes for a deputy or medicine cat. This can mean anything from demotion to banishment.

Besides these changes, the SwiftClan Code is the same as the Warrior Code.

In the years since Stormy formed the clan, there have been three leaders. Now a fourth new leader, Lightstar, has stepped up to lead SwiftClan after a devastating bought of greencough that killed many clan members. Lightstar has sent warriors out searching for new cats to join the clan so that they can keep their territory from being overrun by the evil RogueClan cats. Lawless and brutal, RogueClan was formed around the same time as SwiftClan by a tom named Drake who had been in love with Stormy. When she rejected him, he copied BloodClan’s clan structure and became the dictator of the twolegplace. Since then, RogueClan has been SwiftClan’s greatest enemy. The current leader of RogueClan, Griffin, hates Lightstar because she accidentally caused the death of his mate and one of their kits.

Rook sat in the shadows of the ferns at the edge of SwiftClan’s territory, watching that section of the border. He often went out alone like this, to observe and stop any RogueClan trespassers. He saw a tom approaching, recognizing him as Darkshadow, a RogueClan warrior. However, Darkshadow was not intruding on SwiftClan’s side of the border, so Rook remained where he was hidden, his scent disguised by the onion plants growing nearby. He’d made a habit of rolling in the stuff.

Lightstar lounged on a flat stone near the elders’ den, soaking up sunlight. She’d felt very lazy lately, and though she’d kept up with her duties as leader, she found herself spending more and more time on the sunning-stones. ‘It’s probably because I’m expecting kits,’ she thought. ‘Applemist says it’s normal for queens to be a bit more sluggish than usual.’ Still, she couldn’t shake the tiny sense that something wasn’t right. That sense had gotten her out of trouble before, and it was never wrong, yet Lightstar couldn’t be sure it was warning her about her kits. ‘I’ll wait a little longer before I tell Applemist about this,’ she decided.
