"The story of the beginning of the warrior Clans has been passed down by cats of all Clans, from elder to warrior, from warrior to apprentice, from queen to kit. The story is never the same twice, and parts grow uncertain, or they become suddenly clear in the telling. There are some cats who walk dimly, their names and deeds lost in the sweet fog of the elders' den, for the warrior Clans have roamed the forest for moons beyond counting..."
— Narrator on the Clans in The Warriors Guide, page 1

The Warriors Guide was a Barnes & Noble exclusive Warriors book, and is part of the Field Guides. It is no longer sold.

The Warriors Guide contains information from different points of view that is not revealed in the main arc books. This begins with a story of how the Clans were founded, introducing Thunder, Shadow, Wind, River, and Sky as the first leaders of the five Clans. This is followed by a chapter on the warrior code - the rules of the Clans.
After, it lists significant medicine cats and leaders, as well as additional information about a Clan's specialties. In ThunderClan, a special page detailing how to do the forest attack is written in steps. Likewise, for ShadowClan, there is a page on how different tail signals work. In RiverClan, there is a section on water combat moves, and WindClan has a list of their special battle tactics. In SkyClan, there is a page detailing their aboveground battle moves.
There are full accounts for the different medicines used by the Clans, which includes their uses and names. It tells which plants are similar to each other, as well listing some locations they can be found. This section also lists which plants can be potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. After, there is a collection of biographies for other animals.
Two full maps of the Clans' territory are included, both The forest territories and The lake territories. Fourtrees, Highstones, the Moonpool and the island are all explored and different cats from each of the Clans give accounts of these landmarks. SkyClan has a a map of their camp included, and it also includes the version from a Twoleg's point of view. Tigerstar then leads the reader on a tour of the battlefields, explaining where different cats died and also reflecting on his personal experience as a ThunderClan cat.
