       All the ceremonies are here, ranging from the apprentice
       ceremony all the way up to the elder's ceremony. If you are ever
       in need of a ceremony script, just come on over!
       Traditional Clan Greeting
       This is said at the beginning of all ceremonies or
       announcements. The leader will place him/herself on the
       Highrock/Highledge to start the meeting.
       "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather under
       the _________ for a Clan meeting."
       Note: During emergencies Clan greetings may be shorter as every
       moment is vital.
       Deputy Ceremony

       before StarClan, that the spirits of our ancestors may hear and

       ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. S/he has trained
       hard to under stand the ways of your noble code, and I commend
       him/her to you as a warrior in his/her turn. _____paw, do you
       promise to uphold the warrior code, and protect and defend this
       Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
       "I do."
       "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name:
       _____paw, from this moment on you will be known as _________.

       name, this apprentice will be called _____paw. ______,
       _________________________________. May you pass down all you
       know to this your apprentice."
       Note: During the long blanks, the leader says who the mentor of
       the apprentice is, and says a sentence or two about the mentors
       skills, virtues, etc. Usually kept brief.
       Dying Apprentice Ceremony
       "I ask my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice.
       He/She has learned the warrior code and has given up his/her
       life in service of his/her Clan. Let StarClan recieve him/her as
       a warrior. His/Her name will be __________, because _________.
       Let StarClan recieve him/her by the name of __________.
       Note: This is said when an apprentice that is almost old enough
       to be a warrior dies/is expected to die before he/she becomes
       one. This was used in Brightheart/Lostface's case.
       Elder Ceremony
       "___________, is it your wish to give up the name of warrior and
       go join the elders?"
       "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."
       Note: Sometimes the warrior name of the cat is changed to suit
       new features. [See Name-Change Ceremony.]

       "Then come forward. Warriors of StarClan, I present to you this
       apprentice. She has chosen the life of medicine cat. Grant her
       your wisdom and insight so that she may understand your ways and
       heal her Clan in accordance to your will."
       (medicine cats touch nose to Moonstone/Moonpool)
       Name-Change 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 he/she 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 on, he/she will be known
       as _______. We honor his/her ______ and ______."
       Note: See Warrior Ceremony "Virtues" to fill in last two blanks.
