[/center] RANK DESCRIPTIONS
LADY ;; Female who dictates the entire pack and essentially decides the divisions in which pups and new comers will be placed in. Usually lacking general socialization with the pack members aside from when important matters need to be dealt with, she refers to her trusted council members to speak on her behalf. She, along side with her chosen mate, discipline any who display disobedience or disloyalty as she disallows for any others to take action towards those who defy the laws of the pack. She and her mate are the judgment and voice of reason within the pack; it is their duty to bring peace in times of chaos, and to keep hope within the hearts of their family.
----> Not applicable.
LORD ;; Chosen by the Lady to lead by her side. He is her only mate and generally, she will stay with him for life despite all complications unless he chooses to resign on his own accord. He is in charge of the Military Division as the Warlord is his right-hand man, and if not already chosen by the Lady, the Warlord is decided by the Lord. He enforces discipline along side the Lady against those who defy the laws and also represents the voice of reason. He is generally more social with the pack than the Lady is.
----> Not applicable.
MISTRESS ;; Chosen strictly by the Lady to be tutored and taught the ways of the pack royalty. The Mistress is to one day take the place of the Lady when she either dies or resigns. Chosen at a young age, the Mistress will spend a lot of time with the Lady herself as well as the council leaders.
----> Open for application. One spot available.
KNIGHT ;; Chosen by either the Lady or the Lord. The Knight is a masculine rank and the male to gain this position is usually seen as the strongest and most robust, trustworthy brute in the pack. He is most often seen with the Lord and the Lady, and even at times, the Mistress, as his main duty is to protect them at all times.
----> Not applicable.
HEIR ;; Children of the Lord and Lady through birth.
----> Not applicable.
THE COUNCIL ;; The council consists of four members who speak on behalf of the Lady in times of minor crisis. They are also consulted by the Lord and the Lady for general advice among other things. They are good friends to the Lord and Lady and are chosen based on their attributes. Each council member leads their own division and is in charge of assigning members of their divisions to ranks that are classified with those divisions.
The Guardian: Leads Division One of Defense. Strictly a male position. Because the Lord and Lady have entrusted their protection to the Knight, the Guardian does not have duties that involve the protection of the leading pair, however, it is his job to enforce the defense of the general pack.
----> Open for application. One spot available.
The Caretaker: Leads Division Two of Nurturing. Strictly a female position. Her job is to take care of the general health of the pack.
----> Open for application. One spot available.
The Instructor: Leads Division Three of Education. Strictly a female position. Her job is to ensure the general mental health and stability of the pack as well as their education in general pack life and customs.
----> Not open for application.
The Warlord: Leads Division Four of Military. Strictly a male position. His job is to run the offense system for the pack and plays as the right hand man to the Lord.
----> Open for application. One spot available.
SCOUT ;; Part of Division One. Scouts are to run the borders on shifts and tend to any trespassers or newcomers until an Escort is readily available to see the stranger off. They are also expected to play as messengers when the Lord or Lady needs to send a message to another pack.
----> Open for application. Three spots available.
ESCORT ;; Part of Division One. Escorts lead new comers to the Lord or Lady for assessment. They also follow close behind strangers that are just passing through as well as guiding other pack members to or through other territories or even if a pack member requests general company.
----> Open for application. Three spots available.
DEN GUARD ;; Part of Division One. When a mother gives birth to a litter of pups she is permitted to request the protection from a den guard. Their job is to protect not only the parents and pups, but also any pup sitters that are watching the pups.
----> Open for application. Three spots available.
TERRITORY MARKER ;; Part of Division One. These wolves are expected to roam the borders and mark the territory's edges by some means. Not only does this help pack members understand when they are about to step out of pack territory but this also warns outsiders that they are coming in.
----> Open for application. Three spots available.
PUP SITTER ;; Part of Division Two. These wolves are to watch the pups of other parents, even the Lord and Lady's pups, when the parents are off tending to other business.

----> Open for application. Two spots available.
HERBAL HEALER ;; Part of Division Two. Using their knowledge of the earth and its various foliage, these wolves are trusted by the pack to create strictly plant based remedies for various ailments that might not be otherwise cured by magic healers, or if there are minor injuries that a magic healer cannot waste energy to tend to, an herbal healer will take care of the problem.
----> Open for application. Two spots available.
MENTOR ;; Part of Division Three. Mentors must be very wise and must carry a lot of insight as their duty is to pass on their knowledge to pups and young adults. They are often sought out for words of advice if not a daily lesson. Most times, when litters are abundant within the pack, Mentors will set up certain meeting times where they will teach multiple wolves at a time. Mentors may also take it upon themselves to teach one sole member of the pack if they prefer to do so.
----> Open for application. Three spots available.
PRIEST ;; Part of Division Three. A priest's only job is to preach to the pack about their gods. Usually the priest is seen as a consort to one of the gods, if not proven to be one, or the priest is of the Celestial race. Either way, the priest or priestess must be knowledgeable about the stories behind the gods.
----> Open for application. One spot available.
STORYTELLER ;; Part of Division Three. Storytellers are to, as the name suggests, tell stories of any kind and myths and legends to the pack mates. Usually the storytellers are older wolves, however, out of sheer entertainment, a younger wolf may be chosen based on the level of amusement they bring to the pack.
