Tier 6 Ranks Contents List: Phionósú, Príosúnaigh
Tier 6 Rank: Phionósú (Means “Punished” in Irish Gaelic)
Description: The ones who have erred. These are wolves who have broken a rule, slacked in their duties, or erred in other ways. They may have a chance to redeem themselves by working hard, and completing punishing tasks. Those who do not, will be thrown from the pack.
Tier 6 Rank: Príosúnaigh (Means “Prisoner” in Irish Gaelic)
Description: The Prisoners of a war, or wolves who have trespassed and done harm to the pack. They will be held in a remote location, well away from the actual pack territory, and can be held for up to a season, unless they win a fight to free themselves. Good behavior merits release. Just don’t come back.
Laws: Will mostly be the same as Version one, but, here are some new ones/changed rules.
~:One:~ “Everything has a price.” The Queens word is law; break it, and you will be punished. She has the right to change rules, and to be informed of every part of her pack members lives.
~:Two:~ ”Meetings are mandatory.” You must attend, or face demotion. Wolves who miss three meetings in a row will be thrown from the pack, or even be chased out of the territory.
~:Three:~ “Prove your worth.” Wolves who wish to join Celestial will be required to undergo a test of the skills needed for the place they want in the pack; a healer must give a hypothetical cure for an illness, a hunter must show they are at least able to catch a rabbit, and a warrior must spar with a high ranking wolf and either win, or come close to winning (Within 10 points difference after a judging; if the wolf wishing to join loses the fight by more than 10 points, they are refused entrance.)
~:Four:~ “Work hard.” All members, save for pups, mothers, and elders, are expected to work hard to stay in the pack. Warriors are expected to attend to their duties and training, attend all warrior training sessions, and spar regularly to keep their skills sharp. Hunters are expected to hunt for the pack, attend all hunts, and attend all hunting training sessions and prey evaluation trips. Healers are expected to keep their medicinal plant stores stocked, attend all healer meetings and training sessions, and study to better themselves, no matter the level of their knowledge. Wolves found to be slacking in their duties will face first a warning, then a demotion, and finally, if they have not picked up their slack, eviction from the pack.
~:Five:~ “Children and Mates.” Mates and children are a welcome part of life, but members must first speak with the High Queen for permission to take a mate outside the pack, from an allied pack, or from an unknown pack, and to conceive a litter.
~:Six:~ “Keep in touch.” All members must speak to the High Queen if they intend to be outside the territory borders for any amount of time. An Estimation of when they will return, and explanation of the reason they will be gone is required, so that the High Queen will be assured of their safety, and can send out a search party should the member not return safely within the given estimation of return. [b]High Ranking Wolves are especially required to obey this law.[/b]
~:Seven:~ “Don’t start a pissing contest unless you’re sure you’ve got what it takes.” Challenging for a higher rank is not something that is looked upon unfavorably. However a wolf wishing to challenge for a higher rank must first consult the Queen and make her aware of their intent. The Queen must be present to oversee and judge the fight. Challenges made and fought without the Queens presence will not be regarded as a fair fight, and the ranks will remained unchanged, no matter who won.
~:Eight:~ “Never stop earning your rank” High Ranking Wolves, Tier Four and up, are expected to be active in all duties expected of them. Promotions are not something given lightly, and the wolves these promotions are bequeathed to must continue to earn the rank they were given. Those found to be slacking will be demoted to Tier Six, and possibly severely reprimanded. (For Tier Four, I expect at least two posts a week. Tier Three, three posts, and Tier Two, Four posts. At least one thread needs to be a duty related thread.)
~:Nine:~ “You harm the pack, you regret being born.” Trespassers who attack members of the pack can expect to be seriously maimed to the point of being crippled. Depending on the severity of the attack, a violent trespasser could risk being slaughtered on the spot. Attacking pups is the ultimate way to get yourself killed by an angry mob..
~:Ten:~ “When at War…” Elders, children, and mothers, as well as apprentices are to take shelter at the center of the territory, with at least four warriors to guard them. Healers are to remain with them. Wounded fighters are to be tended as they come in, the worst injured first. Be ready to move out should the tide turn against the pack.
~:Eleven:~ “No Trespassing!” Trespassers are to be handled calmly; if they pose problems, show your teeth and force them out. Should it be a mere misunderstanding, show them out, and conduct business once the line has been drawn.
