RavenClan Warrior Code

## History

The **RavenClan Warrior Code** is created by Dawnstar initially and is jointed by Redstar. Dawnstar works proactively to create the **RavenClan Warrior Code** but dies before it's completion. Redstar finalizes it and announces the code before the clan. This code is amended by multiple leaders through RavenClan's history after it's original conception by Redstar and Dawnstar. Amendments 1-9 are created by Dawnstar and Redstar. Amendment 10 is created after the death of Dawnstar.
