Zenith

【 RANKING ORDER 】

Skeppare

WOLF'STAR

The Skeppare is the head of their group. The word of this leader is law, proclaimed by years of tradition and all other tribe cats must obey them, even visitors. They have their own den, and are assisted by the Iarl in their tasks. They are responsible for the whole group, calling meetings, appointing cats to new ranks, and making the toughest decisions.

IARL

DEAD'EYE

The Iarl is the second in command of the tribe, chosen by the chief to be their successor. This cat is responsible for organizing daily patrols for the Tribe, such as hunting patrols and border patrols. If the skeppare is unable to lead temporarily due to sickness, being away from the territory, etc., then the iarl would take over for that time.

SeER

WITHERED'FLAME

A Seer are the few who treat diseases and injuries, and who receive directions and guidance from the spirits of those who have passed on. They have their own den in the cavern where they sleep, store herbs, and treat wounded or sick cats.

Thegns

VIXEN'SNARL - BONE'DIGGER - BEAR'TOOTH - SHIGURE - RUNE'HEART - DUNE'SWEEPER - STORM'BREAKER - ICE'TALON

RAVEN'SIGHT - NIGHT'WATCHER - VAHVA - BLACK'ICE - THISTLE'CLAW - TROUT'SPLASH - JACKALS'CRY - HOLLOW'PELT - IRON'SPLASH - TBN - 

Thegns are the bulk of the group who have been trained in the ways of fighting and hunting in addition to the ways of the tribe tradition. They are charged with the responsibility to feed and protect those cats who are elderly or unable to spend time out of camp.

ANCIENTS

VACANT

Time has caught up with those who have served their group well and now are under the group wing. Ancients are well-respected and play a big role in how the tribe functions today. Zenith rarely will allow a cat of old age to stay with them and be protected. This is if the cat has done a great deal for the group and has over-earned their stay.

DRANGS

GRAVE'PAW - MOTH'PAW - RIVER'PAW

Drangs are cats six moons or older, training to be a Warrior or Healer, and becomes one once their mentor or Clan leader thinks they have learned enough or proved they are worthy of becoming their successor. Tasks of apprentices include training with their mentors, going hunting, border patrol with other cats of their Clan, and looking after the elders, mostly taking ticks out of their pelts and collecting moss. This is different for Healer trainees.

Varoirs

VACANT

A catt that is expecting or has recently given birth to a litter of kits. When cats become a Varðir, they give up their title and duties as a warrior. However, they become a warrior again once their kits have been apprenticed. Some cats, though, prefer to stay in the nursery even after their kits have become apprentices. These cats are known as permanent Varðirs, and take in foster kits when required.

HIMTHIKIS

VACANT

A himthiki is a cat under the age of six moons who is still living in the nursery with the den mother and littermates. Kits stay in the nursery together with their mother who nurses them and takes care of them for six moons.
