【 RANKING ORDER 】

CHEIF

TBD

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.

WARDEN

CARNELIAN'HEART

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.

SHAMEN

FAWN'SWIRL - RAIN'WATCHER

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.

ELITES

SWIFT'CREEK - THUNDER'HEART

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.

WARRIORS

CEDAR'BREEZE - CLOVER'LEAP - DAPPLED'ROOT - FOG'STORM - HAWK'GAZE - LION'HEART - MAPLE'HEART - MYRTLE'SPOT - ROT'THROAT - SNOW'SONG - SPARROW'CALL - TANGER'TAIL - THORN'STRIKE - THUNDER'HEART - VESPER'MIST - VIRIDIAN'GAZE -

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.

ELDERS

This is different for Healer trainees.

APPRENTICES

These cats are known as permanent Varðirs, and take in foster kits when required.
