Rayala Pack [future pack idea]

II. Ranks are always earned, never given. Every one will be expected to carry out their earned duties and provide for the pack. Address one by their rank then name ( King Maverick, Lord Bob, Bishop Grace, Rook Hi, etc. ). King and Queen are of the highest rank of the pack and MUST have your up most respect and loyalty no matter what. Lord and Lady are of equal and must be respected by everyone below. Knights and Bishops are of equal and must treat each other with respect. Rooks and Pawns are of the commons.

III. Second chances are rarely given. Once you have joined the pack, you have our trust and expect loyalty from you. But once you lost our trust and respect, you will never get it back no matter what you do. If the King and Queen give you another chance, don't take it for granted. Considered yourself lucky.

IV. Newcomers must announce themselves and wait at the border before entering the territory. They are to wait there until they are answered by a member of the pack. The Lord, the Lady, a Knight or a Bishop ranked member may escort them to the Leaders, but they are not members of the pack until accepted by the Leaders and the escort can not leave the newcomer under given permission by the Leaders. Other members of the pack are welcome to greet them and watch over them, but are not to lead them further into the territory. Pups are to be accepted immediately by anyone, but must be brought before the King and Queen. If one does not announce themselves or wait at the border before entering, they will be approached with hostility by members of the pack. If evidence of ill-intentions, that pack member(s) has every right to chase them from the land and engage if necessary.

V.  Mating is allowed only after you have received the King and Queen's blessing. Both members must be part of the pack in order to mate and have blessing from the King and Queen, failure to do so will result in banishment from the pack. This is so we can be sure we have enough food to feed a growing pack. Although the Queen can not mate with anyone else besides the King, the King can mate with other available females if numbers are needed. The Lord and Lady do not have to be mates and can have a mate of a different rank. Only one mate per wolf is allowed unless King states otherwise. Rape is forbidden and anyone caught or evidence of this action will be ban from the pack forever.

VI. Challenging for a higher rank is frown upon unless for a good reason or during the packs tradition events. Rayala does not want to see fights within the pack just to fight, although spars are welcome. But spars are only to improve fighting and combat skills, not to cause harm. King and Queen can never be challenged expect for a really really good reason. Knights can be challenged by other males only if the King approves first with good reason and the Bishops can be challenged by other females only if the Queen approves with good reason. Good reason would be like, they are not doing their duties, never around, missing in action, and etc.

VII.  Leaving the territory is frown upon unless you gain permission from the leaders. The King and Queen can leave as they please as long as they let the other know and can only be gone for three days max, one at a time. The Lord and Lady can leave the land as they please as long as they are only gone for a day max and notify the leaders. Knights and Bishops are allowed to leave the pack land only after notifying the King and Queen first and must be for good reason. Rooks and Pawns are never allowed to leave the pack land unless given permission by King and Queen. It's hard to promise you protect when you leave the land.

The most important role of the pack, the bishops are the hunters of the pack are ofThe Honored class under Tier Three. A Bishop is fast, light and lanky to chase after prey and overwhelm a large kill with numbers. They go in units to hunt with the Lady at the head and bring back food to the pack and occasionally go out of territory to spy. If a unit does not comes back with prey, they will get harassed by some of the pack. In war, the Bishops are the second wave of fighter along site the Knights. When not hunting, they are caretakers, protect the pack and Leaders, spy on others, answer any calls made by the Leaders and/or Lady, and practice to become better hunters. To obtain this rank, one must be chosen by the Queen or been one of the rummer ups from the Besting of the Beast traditions. Bishops can only be female and of two years of age, only seven can hold this rank at once at this time.

This is your chance to show everyone what you are made of. Maybe you want to impress the ladies or a special someone, prove that you are not a kid any more, make your family proud, show the Leaders you are one loyal member, or maybe you just want do it for fun? Held once a year during the Spring or Summer, the King gathers all males to one location to spar it out to be the next set of Knights and the chance to be Lord. Only male Rooks, current Knights, and current Lord can partake and must be at least two years old or older. The top winner is Lord, the five runner ups are Knights. The rest are Rooks until the next one when they can try again. If the Lord and current Knights want to keep their rank, they must partake otherwise face demotion.

Want to be the next set of Bishops or maybe even the chance to be Lady? Want to show the studs what you got, maybe you have a special someone you want to show your love for, show your family you are not a little girl anymore, or even show the Leaders that you got the goods? ^^ This is your chance to show what you got. Held once a year during the Summer or Fall, the Queen calls all females to start the tradition of hunt to see who can get the biggest prey or the largest amount. Only female Rooks, current Bishops, and current Lady can partake in this tradition and must be of age ( two years or older ). The winner is Lady, the five rummer ups are Bishops. The rest are Rooks until the next one when they can try again. If the Lady and current Bishops want to keep their rank, they must partake otherwise face demotion.
