Apprentice-Warrior Ceremony

I, (Leader name), leader of (clan name) call upon our warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. (He/She) has trained hard to understand your noble code and I'd like to make (him/her) a warrior in (his/her) turn.
(Apprentice name) do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?

App.: I do

Then by the power of StarClan, (Apprentice name) from now on you will be known as (new warrior name).

Kit-Apprentice Ceremony

By naming apprentices we show that (Clan name) will remain strong. From this moment, until he/she has earned his/her warrior name, this apprentice shall be known as (new apprentice name). (new apprentice's mentor), you are ready for an apprentice, you will be mentor to (appretice name). You are a (some good thing about the mentor), and I hope you will pass this knowledge to (apprentice name)

Deputy Ceremony

I say these words before the body of (old deputy), so that his spirit may hear and approve my choice. (new deputy name) will be the new deputy of (Clan name).

Name-Changing Ceremony

Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what she/he is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment she/he will be known as (new name).

Elder Ceremony

(warrior name), is it your wish to give up the name of warrior and go to join the elders?

Warrior: It is.

Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon StarClan to give you many seasons of rest.
