Alpha: The most prestigious rank in pack hierarchy, the alpha has the final say on issues of pack life. He/she is usually experienced with well-rounded skills in different areas. They direct and lead the pack, making decisions that concern everyone, for the greater good of the pack. He/she puts the pack before them-self and works hard to help the pack run fluently. They also accept rouges into the pack, assign ranks and have the power to banish members from the pack or demote them to 'Scorn'. Alphas are extremely involved in pack life and generally know their pack members well. Alphas also get to take the first bites after a kill has been made. Both females and males may occupy this role and there may be two alphas if they are mates. They would be the only wolves who could breed freely; the others must ask their permission.

Beta: Chosen for the advisory skills and extreme loyalty, the betas are the second highest ranking pack wolves. They aid the alphas in leading the pack, dealing with smaller issues that are still important to the pack. They can also deal with troublesome members of the pack. They are those that are close with the alphas and would never betray their trust. They have status without as much leading and pressure that the alphas have. The beta acts as the alphas' eyes and ears, letting them know if there is tension between members in the pack. They can help in hunts and herb searches when needed. The betas take care of directing rouge wolves that wish to join to the dens. The betas are involved in pack life and act as a helping hand to any who need it. The beta can be a male or female (both if they are mates).

Gamma: There can be one gamma per pack (female/male) and he/she is responsible for overseeing the scouts, sentry, warlord and warriors. He helps out in times of war as well as going on patrols around the territory and helping to keep it safe. He helps make sure that the den are pups are always protected and aids in strategies of war, as well as helping to carry them out. Alone with the delta, the gamma occupies the third highest rank in wolf hierarchy. The wolf who has this position must be a good fighter (usually experienced) and know the territory of the pack extremely well. He must also be extremely loyal to the alpha(s). Delta: Along with the gamma, the delta is the third highest wolf in a pack. It can be a male or female wolf that occupies this position. The delta oversees the huntresses, Lady of the Hunt, caretaker and caretaker aid. She helps out in hunting down prey or brining food back and is there to lead the hunt when the Lady of the Hunt is absent. She helps keep track of the stores to make sure there is always enough food in the pack. The delta also helps out the caretaker when her skills are needed, especially if there is an illness going around or there was a war and there are many sick/injured wolves. She also helps fetch herbs if the stores are low. Essentially, the delta must be good at taking charge, be extremely loyal to the alphas, and must have a good knowledge of healing others.

Warlord: A respectable position, occupied by the strongest and most skilled warrior in the entire pack. The warlord must be able to take orders from his superiors, namely the alphas, and translate them to the warriors, who he commands. He must be a strong fighter, a valuable asset in battle and also a good tactician, ready to help out with strategy. During battles, he must be able to come up with smart ploys and moves that would help defeat the enemy and must be able to see them into action, often leading them himself, along with the alphas. He would also have experience in fighting or defending territory. The warlord is often a brute who spent time as a rouge, living harsh conditions and fighting for everything, however that is not a mandatory requirement. The position of warlord can only be occupied by a male- and there can only be one.

Lady of the Hunt: The Lady of the Hunt is the best huntress in the whole pack. She is agile and swift, a fast runner, and can lead hunts with confidence. She takes orders from the alphas and other superiors and then directs the huntresses in taking down prey. It is her responsibility to make sure that the store rooms are stocked up and the pack is fed. She must be able to think of hunting strategies and direct the huntresses, telling them which direction to start in and how to cut in, making sure food is brought back. If the alpha is hunting with them then he/she would usually lead the hunt but she remains close by, always ready to advise when her expertise is needed. The position is a respectable rank occupied only by females- and there can only be one.

Sentry: A role that is predominately male, the sentry is in charge of patrolling the territory and making sure no unwelcome visitors are wandering around in pack lands. When he finds a rouge on pack lands, he is responsible for escorting it back to the dens if the wolf wishes to join the pack or if he thinks the alpha should speak with them. If they are merely a rouge wandering about and trespassing, he will chase them off. The sentry is also responsible for gathering information from the other packs during times of war, acting almost as if he were a spy. On rare occasions, he will even be ordered by the alpha to take out a certain member of another pack right beneath their noses. The sentry is given to a strong, stealthy wolf that is bold and unafraid to deal with rouges and one that shows much promise.

Caretaker: Usually occupied by a female wolf, the rank of caretaker is a respected rank and one much necessary to the pack. The role is given to a wolf who has a thorough understanding of healing since she responsible for treating any sick or injured members in the pack. She is helped by the caretaker aid, who she also teaches about healing. The caretaker helps unwell wolves return to good health and knows how to treat them. The caretaker decides whether certain wolves need to be isolated and it is her judgment that a wolf is alright that the alphas needs to let a that member rejoin pack life. The caretaker also teaches pups the ways of the pack (the different ranks, the limits of pack territory,pack traditions and even some pack history: how the pack was founded, who was the previous alpha, any wars that the pack participated in, etc.)

Warrior: Warriors are predominately male and are the strongest fighters of the pack- they are directed by the warlord. They are in charge of dealing with threats such as a bear or cougar that has been seen in pack territory and fighting in times of war. The best of them sometimes accompany members of the pack who are visiting other territory to make sure they come to no harm on their way. This rank includes older, experienced fighters but also young, headstrong males who will loyally fight for their pack without hesitation. It is a popular starter rank for males joining the pack or growing out of pup-hood. It can be tough for the warlord to direct such a ranged group but the warriors are mostly obedient. When there is no war or need of their fighting skills, the warriors help in hunts, taking orders from the lady of the hunt.

Huntress: Huntresses are primarily female (hence the name) though there can be males who go by 'hunters'. The huntresses take their orders from the lady of the hunt and are for the most part skilled hunters, responsible for bringing food back and keeping the pack well nourished. Like the rank of warrior, the role can encompass a wide variety of ages: from seasoned huntresses to young females with not as much skills but who are eager to please and take their orders well. It is a popular starting role for newcomer femmes as well as young faes just out of adolescence. They also help teach younger wolves how to hunt. Huntresses are essential to the pack because, even though many participate in hunts, theirs is the role that is ultimately responsible for bringing back food even when the others are all out dealing with issues of their own rank/responsibilities.

Scout: The scout is, in essence, a lesser version of the sentry. It is also a role that is predominantly but not exsclusively male. The scouts help the sentries in keeping the land safe. They usually don't roam as far, staying closer to the dens, and their role is to protect the pack wolves and pups and keep enemies away from the den site. There usually aren't two many scouts per pack. Sometimes the best scout(s) will acompany the sentry on spy mission or help him to deal with unwanted rouges and tresspassers. They report news of any possible threats to the alpha and then follow his orders on how they should deal with the menaces.

Caretaker Aid: Like the rank of Caretaker, the caretaker aid is usually taken by a female. They must have some knowledge of herbs and plants or be eager to learn for they are taught by the Caretaker and help deal with injured or unwell wolves. It is their job to do as the caretaker directs, whether it be binding a broken paw or to be out fetching herbs and saps, or just checking the stores. It is usually occupied by a young wolf since the purpose is that that wolf will learn from the caretaker so that they may take over in her rank when she is no longer able to carry out her duty. This rank is sometimes occupied by a young fae just out of pup-hood who has shown keen interest in the area of herbs and who can be an eager an promising student.

Grey: There comes an age where your skills are no longer what they used to be, where tasks that you performed easily in the past leave you exhausted. Everyone grows old and for most it is not easy. Even the most valiant warriors must accept the fact they are no longer what they used to be. When wolves reach the point where they must retire from their rank they can do so comfortably and gain the rank of Grey. After all, they have been a helping hand in the pack and deserve to be in turn nourished and cared for by their loved ones and pack. Greys often tell tales of when they were young on cold nights to keep the pack entertained. Although they have no high rank, greys are respected by the entire pack(even the alphas) and very well cared for.

Auxiliary: Often a member that has just joined the pack or a wolf that is just out of pup-hood and awaiting their first rank, auxiliaries are those that have no specific rank or delegated task and help out in whichever way is needed until the alpha grants them a proper rank. Auxiliaries help out in hunts, help fetch herbs, some help the caretaker and all help out the alpha whenever he/she needs it. They help care for pups and are still important members of the pack, not disrespected because of their lack of precise rank. Some wolves stay auxiliaries for a long time if the alpha is preoccupied or if he/she is trying to find the perfect placement for them. While they wait, they use whatever skills they have to aid the pack: this also helps give the alpha an idea of where they would best fit.

Scorn: The lowest rank in the pack, the scorn is a disrespectful rank usually given as a punishment to a member who has done something wrong or disobeyed the alpha. When there is a hunt, they are the last wolves to eat from the kill and they are at the very bottom of pack hierarchy. The position of scorn can also be given for a while to a member who is disliked by the general wolves of the pack but who has just joined. The alpha would put him/her in the rank of scorn for a while until he/she proved him/herself as a wolf worthy of the pack. If a wolf performs an act that has the rest of the pack wanting him/her exiled, sometimes the alpha will simply make them a scorn for a while to give them a chance to change for the better.

-->> Rouge Ranks

Rouge Leader: A wolf who is not tied down to any pack, the rouge leader is, as the name suggest, the leader of a band of rouges who roam free territory that does not belong to packs, though sometimes they trespass on pack territory or sneak in unawares. The rouge leader often rules through fear and usually has absolute control over the band. He is usually not very young but neither old and is usually a battle-scarred warrior who can outfight any of the rouge band members. This wolf can be male or female but the thing that is always certain is that they are very strict with the rouge subordinates and slaves and are usually mean-tempered and vicious with little compassion or mercy to those who oppose them.

Rouge Subordinate: This wolf is simply a rouge who has joined up with the rouge leader and is part of the band. They can be male or female but either way they follow out the leader's orders. This is not because they are extremely loyal to him or respect him necessarily but usually because he is stronger than them or out of fear. They are sneaky wolves though, not to be trusted and any one of them would kill their leader if they had a chance, and usurp his position of power. This a clear example of how rouges and not like pack wolves: they have no respect for their leader.

Rouge Slave: Similar to the pack equivalent of Scorn, the Rouge Slave is a Rouge Subordinate that has disobeyed or maddened the leader and usually is given the rank as punishment. Rouge Slaves are forced to do the dirtiest and most risky acts by the leader and band against their own will and are sometimes even forced to stay with the band, being considered a prisoner. The rank is one that no one would want or willingly take, it is always enforced upon the poor wolf who must suffer the Rouge Leader's rage. Usually the rank sticks until the slave does something to please the leader and put himself/herself back in the leader's favor or until there is a new leader who might favor the slave more and promote them to the rank of Rouge Subordinate.

-->> Loner Ranks

Rouge: Commonly associated with rouge bands though not having anything to with them, a rouge is simply a wolf who belongs to no pack. A rouge can be a wolf that is wandering through Arvandor, searching for a pack in which to feel wanted and safe, or simply a free-spirited youth that does not want the responsibilities of pack life or the ties that come with it. A rouge can also be someone who prefers to live out a solitary life by him/herself. Rouges usually are not a problem with pack wolves so long as the remain in the free lands and do not trespass. If they wish to join a pack they are expected to howl at the border of that pack's territory and wait for someone to come or at the very least to howl before entering.

Exile: A rouge that was once part of a pack and was exiled, this wolf has done something awful or simply abanoned the pack with no word etc Lu?
