SUPERIOR RANKS
King and Queen - The King (for males) and Queen (for females) are known for leading their Dynasties in many different kinds of ways. Some rule fair and just while others rule with an iron fist. Kings and Queens are normally addressed by their rank and name following after or "Your Majesty/Your Highness". It's a way to show your respect and loyalty and silently show submission. Their word is law and to be taken seriously, do not underestimate them! You can become a King or Queen in many different kinds of ways. Depending on what kind of government the clan you want to rule will affect the way you will become its King or Queen. There normally is one pair of King's and Queens, often times they are mates, but on the occasion, we might see one Queen or King leading by themselves.
Duke and Duchess - Dukes and Duchess' are second in command and take control of the Dynasty while the King and Queen are away. There can be up to two Dukes and Duchess' per Dynasty, one male, and the other female. However, they do not need to be a mated pair if they do not want to be. If the King or Queen do not have an heir than the Dukes or Duchess will become the next King or Queen of the Dynasty. They help regulate the Dynasty and advise their King/Queens when needed.
Heir - Heirs are normally the offspring of the King/Queen that later become the next King/Queen depending on the Dynasty. The heirs are often chosen by their father or are put in an area and fight till one submits to become the next heir. There the King or Queen trains the heir to become the next ruler. They do not need to have a mate in order to have an heir.
Guardians - The Guardian is a personal guard of the King/Queen. When in battle they watch out for the Queen and her offspring and protect them with their life. You can see them around the King/Queen almost always unless stated otherwise. They also help enforce the warriors of the Dynasty. It is not required of them to watch the King or Queens offspring, however, if they are in danger it is required of them to protect them with their life. They do not leave the King/Queens offspring unguarded even when the King or Queen are being attacked or in battle. There are only two guardians, one of both genders. They do not need to be mates to one another. These animals are hand chosen by the King/Queen.
SUBORDINATE RANKS
Hunter - Hunter's are very important. They have to be quick on their feet in order to catch the packs next meal. They specialize in stalking and hunting and sometimes even tracking. Without the hunters, the dynasty would starve to death. They know the best places to hunt. They are normally slender and swift-footed animals.
- Foragers - Forager's are the equivalent rank to a hunter in the Eleos dynasty. Forager's go out and gather berries and occasionally herbs for their Shamans. As a reminder this rank ONLY applies for the Eleos dynasty!
Warrior - Warrior's are protectors of the Dynasty, they usually are the first to go into battle and make sure that the clan is safe. These animals have no qualms when it comes to killing and spilling blood, they usually are bulky and large and find it easy to throw their weight around.
Shaman - When it comes to wounds, sickness, and herbs these are the animals to go to. They enjoy helping those around them and taking care of the weak and sick. Without the Shamans, the dynasty would die off. When it comes to their job they can be a bit of a smarty pants with their knowledge in the arts of healing. These animals are often prepared and calm in tough times.
Nannies - Nannies are the animals that take care of the dynasties offspring while their parents are away. Pups and cubs often call them just nanny as it's hard to pronounce their full name. Nannies are generally very nurturing and caring animals who are vigilant. After all, they have a hoard to take care of.
LOWER RANKS
Omega - The omegas are the lowest ranking animals in the Dynasty, but they are important. They keep the peace between pack members. They also run errands for adult animals in the dynasty. They must make sure that the dens are clean and they eat last whenever a meal is present. If an animal is in a high or regular rank and they break the rules in their pack, the King or Queen could immediately give them the omega rank. Omega's also care for any of the Dynasty's offspring. Often in Skotadi Omega's are treated unfairly and seen as the pack's beating bag, Eleos Omegas are treated much more fairly.
Pupils - Pupils are the young of the Dynasty or otherwise known as apprentices. The dynasty trains them as a whole, however, they will be trained by someone of the rank they want to go into when they grow up. Pupils range between ages 4 months to 2 years old before they do an assignment that the King or Queen will task them with.
