Sethos Pack

T I E R - O N E
THE ELITES

King • The King is the final and highest authority in the pack. His word is unchanging and unquestionable, and he is the one that decides who lives and who dies in the pack. He oversees every single activity in the pack, and he is seen as not only the supreme authority, but also as the exalted divinity of the pack. He does as he pleases, when he pleases, and he is to be respected and feared at all moments. No male is above him; those who dare to question his authority are destined to fall to their demise. He has the biggest harem in the pack, the Althia; these females are to be highly respected, because they belong to the King and the King alone. They are the healers of the pack. Those who dare trespass their limits with the King and with any of his property will meet their fate. He commands when the pack will do any specific activity, whether by recommendation of the other Elite males or by his own decision. He gives the final order in any decision pertaining any pack matter, and his decisions are never to be questioned or disobeyed.

Queen • The Queen is the second highest in command and the only leading female in the entire Elite hierarchy. She is responsible for keeping the genetic quality of the pack, and she ensures that only the strongest genes will pass on from generation to generation. She is below Saul in authority, and everyone is expected to see her with the same fear they see the King. She is the one in charge of deeming a female worthy of procreating or not, and she is responsible of verifying every born litter in the pack to make sure only the strongest pups survive. Saul trusts her judgement blindly and gives her full authority over the reproductive aspects in Sethos, knowing that the Queen has what it takes to make sure only the strongest bloodlines persevere in the pack. If she deems that it is necessary to kill a female because she is not worthy of reproducing, she may do so; also, if she sees that a litter is not good enough to remain in Sethos, she is responsible for purging their existence.

Pillai • The offspring of the King and Queen, the Pillai are of the purest blood in the pack. They have the highest respect of any youth within the pack ranks. Any of these pups who do not prove their worth in the first weeks of life are killed without question.

Thilas • The Thilas is, in other words, the prince of the pack. He is below Saul and Far in authority, and his job is to report everything to the King and Queen immediately. He is as ruthless as his leaders, and he must be fiercely loyal to the pack's beliefs and the views of the Elites. The Thilas is there to enforce the rules and to remind everyone to not cross any lines, and he must be capable of execute others upon order of the King and Queen. He also can represent the King and Queen in case they are absent for any reason, and he can accept new members into the pack if he deems them worthy. This male is also given the opportunity to have a harem of his own, but it must remain smaller in number when compared to the Althia. His harem are the caretakers of the pack.

Dominus • Personally chosen by the King, the lead warrior of the pack instills fear and obedience in into any wolf foolish enough to stand against Sethos. Trained to the highest degree of combat and prowess, this individual oversees all activities by the lower ranking warriors, or Chevaliers. This wolf is also in charge of assigning the Esquires to their respective tutors. He is also allowed a harem of up to four females, called the Yoseba.

Serdar • Personally chosen by the King, the lead hunter of the pack oversees all hunts and activities surrounding the Soturi and the training of the Ismat. This individual is extremely knowledgeable in the location and abundance of game in whatever location the pack inhabits, and passes on this knowledge to those beneath them. This is the last male of the Elite tier that is allowed a harem of up to three females, called the Dhana.

Elites • The offspring of the elite bloodlines excluding the King's and Queen's. Pups worthy to stay within the pack obtain this title from birth to one year of age, when they are assigned the rank of Equire or Ismat. Females who do not receive a rank fall into the Plebeyan rank to await the day they are old enough to be a part of a harem.

THE HAREMS

The Althia • The King’s harem that is composed of an unlimited number of females. Whoever the King wants to claim as his property becomes a part of the Althia after being inspected by the Queen. These females are trained in the art of healing, but they are not limited to this aspects. They are here to expand the King’s genes throughout the island, but they are also servants of the barbaric deity. They clean his den, they groom him and tend to his every demand, and they are there to please him in any way possible. They are his property and they are the most beautiful females of the pack, ensuring that not only strength is passed on from generation to generation—but beautiful females as well. The Queen inspects every female that forms a part of the Althia, making sure they are in optimal condition to reproduce. If she deems that one of them isn’t worthy anymore, she is free to tell Saul and he will give his permission for her to terminate the female in question (if he didn’t do it himself already), or make her suffering longer and place her in the Lamia rank, to be only seen as a sexual toy.

The Alvar • The Thilas's harem, composed of a limited number of females. As long as the Alvar doesn't surpass the Althia in numbers, there is no limit to how many females the Thilas can claim as his own. They are the caretakers of the pack, and they take care of the pups of the pack in general, not only their own. They are also the servants of the Thilas, and they tend to his every need in any way possible. The Queen inspects this harem as well, making sure that the females are worthy of reproducing and expanding the gene pool. 

The Yoseba • The Dominus's harem, the Yoseba is composed of a maximum of four females. This harem serves as servants of the Dominus, and they are here to expand the gene pool to avoid inbreeding and producing deformed and impure pups. The Queen is also in charge of inspecting the quality of this harem, and purges out any unworthy blood if necessary without needed authorization from the Dominus.

The Dhana • The last harem is the smallest of the pack, composed of a maximum of three females. They are also there to serve the Serdar in any way possible and to make the gene pool larger and to avoid inbreeding. The Queen can purge out any unworthy females at any given moment as well, without authorization of the Serdar. 

If any of the elite males tries to steal one of the Althia and claim one of them as their own, their harems will be immediately removed, and their females will pass on to Saul's harem as his property. The male may end up executed or heavily injured as punishment, and his rank would be lowered immediately.

PLEBEYANS

Chevaliers • The strongest and deadliest of wolves besides those of the first tier, Chevaliers are heavily trained individuals with an expertise in executions. They are the pawns of Sethos, held to a high standard by the King to fulfill the pack’s mission to purify the land of impure individuals. It is rare that a female makes it to this rank, though it is not unheard of.

Esquires • These select few are warriors-in-training, handpicked by the Dominus to be a future Chevalier. They are paired with a Chevalier to ensure every wolf is taught properly, and are composed of only the most promising of Sethos’s youth. 

Soturi • The Soturi are elite hunters, swift and strong enough to take down large amounts of prey. They ensure that the pack has enough provisions, and are skilled enough to steal from rivaling packs without being caught. 

Ismat • This rank is reserved for those individuals not cut out to be warriors. They are trained by the Soturi to become skilled hunters. Any male youth who do not train under the tutorage of a Chevalier will become a Ismat. 

Plebeyan • The Plebeyans are individuals who have not yet received their prospective assignments. They are either newcomers who have not proven any valued skill, or have lost a higher ranking position due to insubordination. Those in this rank wait until the Elite Blood analyze their skill sets. Females in this rank are those who are not yet part of a harem.

THE IMPURE

Ruza • This rank is reserved for one individual. Sneaky and devious, this is a wolf deemed unworthy of a higher title because of their size or capabilities. They are kept only to serve Sethos as a spy. 

Lamia • Named after a demon that manifests as a beautiful woman transforming into a serpent, Lamia hold the lowest free rank in the pack. These females have proved to produce weak offspring or are completely infertile, and are now used for the rest of the packs pleasure. They are sex objects and are completely at mercy to any wolf who wants to abuse them. This rank is composed only of females who were not killed, and are only here to extend their torment for being impure and unworthy of reproduction.

Vanki • The lowest possible rank within the pack, Vanki are prisoners captured and kept alive for various reasons. They have no personal freedoms and are considered the most impure of anyone within the pack. Vanki are rare because most wolves would meet death at the jaws of the King before falling under this rank.
