EnderoftheEnd's Clan

A list of incidents throughout the clan's history: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iRm3h7IlAawWQbF8Ia3YFm3DZM3n4l3Zks4MDGgo3w4/edit?usp=sharing

Welcome to the clan! We are led by our empress, Alkira, and co-led by our king, Raito. We let all visitors in with open arms and treat them with immense hospitality, so long as they have no ill will. We are rather secluded and do not involve ourselves in the matters of other clans, but are open for trading and taking in unwanted dragons. We have a strict no-exalt policy and value all our members so long as they do their part. Familiars are also highly respected and mistreatment is not tolerated. Because of this, swapping out a familiar that has awakened with its owner is forbidden unless either of the leaders are consulted first. Generally older dragons are treated with more respect, but to ensure that everyone has a duty, Alkira has also put a tiering system into place for all of our dragons to follow.

Tier 1 - Leaders
The absolute rulers of the clan, only two dragons are in this tier: Alkira and Raito. They have the final say over all major decisions and also need to be consulted if an important decision regarding familiars or other clan members needs to be made. Though they are of the same rank and thus have the same power within the clan, Raito often treats Alkira with the respect of someone with higher authority.

Tier 2 - Royals
The children and grandchildren of the leaders. They are to be respected by the whole clan, but they also have the shared duty of keeping each other in line. Their royal status does not exempt them from jobs, and in fact, they are kept under closer watch by the leaders than most servants are. Heti, Raito and Alkira's son, has the most important role among the royal dragons: he is the deputy, and will take over in the event that something disastrous happens to one or both of the leaders.

Tier 3 - Guardians
The Guardians of the clan are a squad of 4 Guardian dragons. They watch over the clan to ensure that no harm comes to it or any of its members, are majorly in charge of evacuation, and are the first line of defense should they ever be attacked. If a relatively minor threat comes along, their incredible fighting prowess will ensure that they quickly dispatch of it. They are to treat Masters with the same respect as any other lower tier dragon, but also have the authority to order them around during evacuations. The Guardian squad is led by Ruby, and also includes Erica, Plakkor and Eldi.

Tier 4 - Masters
A master is a dragon that exhibits incredible talent and/or wisdom, and has shown that they are mature enough to have an apprentice. Though not all masters decide to pick up apprentices, it is relatively common among them as it is a good chance to pass on their wisdom and skills to a young dragon early on in their lives. If they have a particularly time-consuming duty as well, apprentices are commonly chosen to help them out. Both masters and royals can have apprentices, and the Master tier is the threshold for high authority dragons. Those below tier 4 do not necessarily have a higher authority than dragons in a lower tier and are only higher in the system by title.

Tier 5 - Elemental Symbols
The Elemental tier is quite an odd one by behaviour. They have as much authority as tiers 6-8 all have but are treated with the most respect out of all low-ranking tiers. There are 11 dragons in this tier, one for the respective flight that they come from. They are always found through scavenging and raised in the clan as one of their own, and exist purely as symbols of peace between the clan and the world of Sornieth. They have a bit of a strange set of unique rules, in that they are not allowed to use skins (accents are fine so long as they are from their respective flights), and that during the celebration of that dragon's flight they have to wear the Celebration Sage set. The reason for their being unable to wear skins is because it is seen as obstructing the essence of the flight that they are in.

Tier 6 - Knights
Knights patrol and protect the clan. They are like guards and security among the other clan members, and only have authority over tier 7 and 8 if they deem it necessary while performing their duty. They are absolutely not allowed to abuse their power (though they don't have much to begin with). Their main role is to act as fighters should the clan ever be invaded. Security work is always secondary as it's hardly ever necessary anyway.

Tier 7 - Apprentices
Apprentices are dragons who have pledged their service to a master dragon. They have devoted their lives to learning as much as they can from their masters, and mainly assist them whenever they are asked. If something is to happen to their master that makes them unable to work, apprentices must take over their roles. They are often earliest to rise and latest to sleep out of all dragons in the clan as many of them have strict schedules set by their masters.

Tier 8 - Servants
Dragons that do not exhibit any particular talent and/or are not experienced or mature enough to be masters and have not decided to work under a master. These dragons are the ones that handle menial tasks such as maintenance and cleaning. Usually they also perform their own specific tasks, but this is always secondary and is only done if they choose to.
