Pack Ranks

Royal Ranks:
Regent: The older generation of the royals. They are often up in their years and have stepped down, but still teach the leader of the pack and tell stories to the pack’s children, much like Elders.
Alpha: The Leader of the pack, can be male or female. This role can be inherited or passed on to a worthy suitor or taken by force.
Consort: The Alpha’s mate(s). Can be male or female. They aid the alpha in their duties.
Heir: The one that will become the next Alpha - not always the Alpha’s child or a pup.

Special Ranks:
Elder: the older generation of the pack. Those who are wise with their years and can give advice. They often tell stories to the pack’s young. May help with other tasks or become mentors to young apprentices.
Whisperer: Seers of the pack. They are said to be able to interpret the wind and/or can hear the gods speaking. Not all seers take on the role of a whisperer and are not looked down upon for it. They act as a council to the Alpha and aid in decision making.

High Job Ranks:
Lead Hunter: Skilled hunters that can lead the hunt. Often the oldest and most experienced, but not always. There is one Lead Hunter for every ten Hunters.
General: Head Guard to lead the pack in battle. Often the oldest and most experienced, but not always. They are normally pretty close with the Lead Hunter. In case of war situations, they must mobilize both Hunters and Guards to protect the pack.
Matron: The head healer - the most skilled healer. Seers are ideal for this role, but not required.

Adult Ranks:
Sentry: A Guard who has sharp eyes and can see great distances. They often have avian companions, rather than klipspringers. They alert the pack when there is danger and begin the mobilization process in war situations.
Guard: Most often, the guards simply protect the borders of the pack and make sure no one coming through their lands is a threat to the pack. They are warriors in wartime situations.
Hunter: Those who hunt (meats) and provide food for the pack. Usually part of a hunting party lead by a Lead Hunter. They often double as warriors in wartime situations.
Gatherer: Those who gather (nuts, berries, grasses, etc.) and provide food for the pack.
Artisan: Those who fashion items for the pack, often out of things the hunters and gatherers bring in. Extra coats are often made for dogs and their companions who have thinner coats.
Healer: they take care of the sick and injured. They double as midwives if the situation calls for it.

Youth Ranks:
Journeyman: An Adol or Adult who has left the pack for a short time to learn about the role they will take on. Not all Dogs leave the pack to learn, but some do. Often they will go with their teacher, but otherwise will find their own. Journeymen who don’t return are considered deceased.

Apprentice: Adols in the pack.
Youth: What it says on the tin.

Familiar Ranks:
Companion: Familiars in the pack - usually Klipspringers, all familiars are welcome.

Limited Ranks!

This section will show which limited ranks are open. These ranks become available every ten members of that rank, ie every 10 hunters opens a new Lead Hunter rank.

To apply for a limited rank:

- SoA must have been in the pack for at least 30 days
- SoA must be of the section they're applying for (only a hunter can apply to be Lead Hunter)
- Once your WD applies for the rank, they must provide an RP posted AFTER the application date.
- These are first come, first serve. If you applied before someone but did not complete the RP requirement before them, they will obtain the rank instead of you!

Open Limited Ranks

Lead Hunter: 1
Lead Sentry: 1
Lead Guard: 1
Expert Gatherer: 1
Master Artisan: 1
