Guild Ranks.

---

All guilds will have the same ranking structure throughout the site to ensure consistency. If there is a requirement for new ranks to be implemented into the system there will be an announcement for that and the individual guildss can then shuffle their carnivora into new positions to suit the alterations.
There are three main tiers to any guild structure and each will have individual ranks within them which all maintain a rank and role that aids the guild and territory in some form or another. These go from the most important and dominant to the least. It is down to the individual guild leaders to determine the placement of their devotees to ranked members.


LEADER - The leading rank of the guild and usually consists of the dominant mated pair. However, this is not always the case, there may only be one leader. The Leaders serve as main decision makers and ensure the entire structure of the pack is placed smoothly. These carnivora are not to be questioned and their descision making is final.

AUXILIARY - Auxiliaries are the helpers to the higher ranks; they make sure everything is running smoothly within the guild, and are the ones to report any problems. They are basically the "messengers" or advisers to the higher ranks, and usually, there is one auxiliary assigned to the Leaders. Handpicked Auxiliaries most common.

HUNTER - Although most carnivora can hunt for themselves and there are frequent guild hunts, there are carnivora who may not be able to go out and hunt for particular reasons. Hunters are the ones that weaker and younger ones depend on to keep them fed. No hunt is done without their advice, as they can track the location of prey and know which would be the easiest to take down and the best strategy.

WARLORD - WarLords are the best fighters in the guild, and organise council meetings, plan training courses for the guild and are close advisers to the leads. These are usually wise and battle-worn carnivora who know a lot about strategy and keeping a cool head amidst battle.

ELDER - The wisest of carnivora, these are very respected and help teach young pups and cubs and are basically a "shoulder to cry on". These carnivora are some of the most respected and trusted carnivora in the guild, although they may not have an active part to play with the maintenance of the pack and lands, they are still deserved of as much respect as the Leaders.

CAREGIVER - Often seen as the 'pup-sitters', these carnivora are generally the most docile of the guild and the easiest to get along with. Sometimes other members may confide in them and express feelings they don't want to tell others about their issues. However, normally these carnivora just ensure that the younger, weaker, injured and pregnant carnivora have everything they need to remain comfortable and request aid from other other ranks if anything is untoward.

PEACEKEEPER - These carnivora maintain the peace within the guild; if there are any arguments or disputes that could get out of paw, these carnivora will try and calm things down. Sometimes they are attacked in outburst, but Omega soon becomes targets for that.

APPRENTICE - Carnivora who are at the age where they are learning and training for their permanent ranks. Generally, these are the previous litters of the guild who have come of age, but occasionally they are newly accepted carnivora to the guild who are learning the ways of the guild and are being put through their paces.

OMEGA - These carnivora are the most submissive in the guild nature and by force, however, they can have tendencies to lash out. Often used as 'punching bags' when things flare up within the guild, they often sidle along with Peace Keepers. Unfortunately, as punishment some other ranked members will be demoted to Omega and are forced to relinquish their previous roles.
