The Ranks

The most powerful at the top

• Leader & The Council of Elders:
  The Council of Elders run the day to day business of running the Clan. Their judgments can only be reversed by the Leader. The Leader is in charge of the Clan's safety and is usually the most gifted in magic.
  
• Warriors & Caregivers
  The Warriors are the soul of the Clan without them the Clan would be vulnerable. The Warrior's duty is also to hunt for the Clan. There can be as many as twenty to as few as five of them, their numbers usually vary according to how large the Clan is. The Caregivers are those who have mastered healing magic. There can be as many as ten to as few as one of them, their numbers usually vary according to how large the Clan is. (See magic & or Duties for more info)
  
• Apprentices
  Cat's can be apprenticed as ether a warrior or a caregiver as young as a year old. They can hold that apprenticeship for three years. If at the end of the three years they have not successfully completed every test thrown at them by their mentors they will be slotted as a Peasant and only called on in times of war, though they will be required to hunt.
  
  
• Peasants
  Although they are referred to as peasants they are just your average cats. They are those who do whatever assignments they are given by the Council. They make up the bulk of the Clan they may be called upon to defend their Clan in times of war but are only taught the basics of fighting.
  
• Old Ones
  They are the elders who are to old and/or two weak to take care of themselves.
  
• Queens & Kittens
  Queens are pregnant with/ or have had their litters. And last but not least are the future of the Clan.
