Here is your chance to read up on the rank descriptions provided below. However, this is not where you claim a rank.

Much deserved credit to beastiix- ; I did take a sliver of inspiration from your formats in Tacenda.

The Kingdom of Highfrost has held true to the same traditional ranks and hierarchical system they created when the Kingdom was first founded. They are like a chain, all linked and holding each other together, though like all chains, they start with one link and work their way down. The monarchy is strict, orderly, and often brutal.

The Hollowfell Pack is a rather different story. They are no longer under the hand of Man and are now tasked with forming and organizing positions amongst themselves. They are more in favor of 'elections' and 'voting' as for who they think would fit the most crucial roles of the pack, instead of it being solely based on blood or lineage.

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐃𝐎𝐌 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐓

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍 ❆

The Queen is the ruler and overseer of the entirety of Highfrost. She is among the largest dire wolf and exceptionally strong and skilled as Highfrost Queens are forced into their training right at three months of age. Her word is strictly law and to go against the Queen is to go against the pack. Unless said otherwise, she is the only one that may deliver punishment of any means. She is responsible for the overall well-being of the Kingdom and all decisions must have her final say. While she may not always lead into battles, she is the only one that can give the verbal declaration of war. The Queen has the power to be judge, jury, and executioner should she wish. She is always first to a meal, even if she did not help to kill it that day, as she is the Kingdom's core of life.

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃 ❆

They are the hand chosen guard of the Queen that serves as her 'right hand' and 'advisor' to the Kingdom. A second-in-command type of position, as there is no King. They are head of the Royal Circle and oversee the affairs of the Kingdom as well as aiding the Queen in making majorly critical decisions. They are respected as much as the Queen and when she is away, has fallen ill, or ever comes to have pups, they are to take over temporarily. In the past, the Queensguard has often been the mate of the Queen. Though if the two do not wish it, it doesn't always have to be. They and the Royal Circle normally eat with the Queen.

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐋𝐄 ❆

They serve as the council of the kingdom. Made up of four of the Queen's trusted figures of importance and skill. They are the ones who will also help when it comes to making heavy decisions for the sake of the entire Kingdom. Just as they are a council to the Queen, they are a court of judges. If a grave crime has been committed and a massive trial must be held, then it will always involve the Circle with the Queen delivering the final verdict. They too also hold high respect and while their word is not final law, to disrespect them is still rather unwise.

➛ 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍

They are the Kingdom's war general and commander of the soldiers. The one with the most expansive knowledge of battle, strategy, and skill in fighting. If the Queen wishes, they can also serve as an executioner should something ever call for one. They are the ones who organize territory and border patrols, assign apprentices to soldiers, and lead them into battles.

➛ 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓

They are the head of the hunters. Their knowledge of hunting is at an expert level for they know every single technique and strategy on how to hunt different prey. They know a herd of elk or deer's favorite resting spots as well as their migratory patterns. Their responsibilities include sending out small hunting parties, leading on bigger hunts, assigning apprentices, and overall making sure the Kingdom remains well fed.

➛ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐖

This individual is a few things in one. They are the kingdom's messenger, scout, and spy of sorts. They have the ability to run great speeds for a lengthy amount of time; even faster than the hunters. A master of stealth, speed, and blending in, they can even serve as an assassin should the need ever arise.

➛ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐍

They are like the shaman of the kingdom. Very in touch with the spiritual realm and the Moon Goddess that the Kingdom follows. However, they are very knowledgeable in healing and herbs as well as mending broken bones, which is a practice that has only recently been introduced upon the discovery that sticks and grass can be used to make a stint for a leg.

❆ 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐒 ❆

The medics of the kingdom. While they have a full healer title, they still train under the Great Physician. Quite knowledge on herbs and healing remedies. They go off to battle with the soldiers so that they can be ready to treat the wounded on the sidelines. Equally respected as they too are learning to be more in touch with the Moon Goddess. They normally eat together separately from the Physician.

❆ 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐒 & 𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ❆

The soldiers are the guards, protectors, and peacekeepers of the kingdom. They only answer to the Queen, Queensguard, and the Grand Centurion. While their duties are to protect and serve, they also help keep order inside the kingdom as well as go on patrols and take on the responsibility of training their assigned apprentice.

The hunters are the providers of the kingdom. They ensure that the pack is kept fed and taken care of. They only answer to the Queen, Queensguard, and Master of the Hunt. They are to hunt for the kingdom and train their apprentices as well.

❆ 𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄𝐒 ❆

They are the adolescents of the kingdom, starting at six moons of age, unless they are an offspring of the Queen, then they are started at three moons. These young ones have the freedom to choose their path to a soldier, hunter, or on rare occasions...a healer. They are each assigned mentors that will train them until they are exactly twelve moons old.

❆ 𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 ❆

The mothers of the kingdom who are either expecting or nursing. They are the bearers of life; the ones who give birth to the future of the kingdom. They are treated with great respect.

❆ 𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐒 ❆

Pretty self-explanatory. The new life of the kingdom.

𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐊

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐋 ❆

Consists of three individuals that oversee all affairs and business of the pack. They are the ones to hold trials for crime and have the actual final say on which canine is appointed as leader each time. They are slightly older in age, wisdom, and more experienced, so they advise the current leader and makes sure they are going about things responsibly. In this case, these individuals oversee most 'political' affairs.

❆ 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 ❆

While the leader does hold power and order in the pack, due to being under the Council, they are also more of a representative figure. They are in no way above the law of the pack and all decisions must pass through the Council before the leader can call a final decision. They are always an elected leader, voted on by the pack and ultimately appointed by the council. They lead attacks and are responsible for the well-being of the pack and assigning rookies to their mentors.

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐏𝐀𝐖 ❆

Second-in-command to the Leader and always hand chosen by them. They are responsible for organizing both territory patrols and hunting parties and take the place of the leader when they are away, sick, or anything else that prevents them from fulfilling their duties.

❆ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂 ❆

They are the most experienced with herbs and healing knowledge. Responsible for healing the sick and wounded of the pack. They are often neutral when it comes to 'politics' and battle, and tend to be more on the peaceful side.

❆ 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐄 ❆

Rather obvious. They are between 6-12 moons and train in healing under the medic. They do not have to answer to anyone other than the Council, Leader, and Medic.

❆ 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ❆

They are the protectors and providers of the pack. They don't answer to anyone but the Council, Leader, and Right Paw, and are responsible for patrols, finding food, and training their rookies.

❆ 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐄𝐒 ❆

Between 6-12 moons of age. They are the adolescents of the pack either training to be a soldier or hunter.

❆ 𝐌𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐒 ❆
Obvious.  The expecting or nursing females of the pack. Also very respected.

❆ 𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐒 ❆
The new life.
