SwiftClan
ancιenт clan oғ тнe мoυnтaιns
Swiftclan is a vast and powerful clan that has resided peacefully in the mountain ranges surrounding WingClan for many moons, previously moving here from a different range entirely. They are advanced in both physiology and in intelligence, because some of the members have descended from one of the very first, and most revered of the chicken clans; Runeflock. Runeflock was fairly primitive as far as their warrior code, but far advanced in hierarchial structure, some principles of which have been retained by the modern Swiftclan. War, famine, disease, and natural disasters have shaped Swiftclan to be the strong, tightly-knit family that they are today.

-Lower hierarchial status should not jeopardize the respect you show to your clanmates. Children are to be taught this from a young age.
-All birds have freedom of speech. If they object to the actions of the leader, they are allowed to voice their opinions, but this does not always dictate whether or not the leader will change his course of action.
-Borders always must have at least five birds on patrol at all times.
-Violation of StarClan's laws will result in immediate punishment, which varies depending upon the offense.
