Monarch (•)
The leader of the Ortropy. Monarchs are always female, and are most expected to have female heirs to the throne. Monarchs are also responsible for the well-being of her Ortropy and her wolves, as well as all orders. But, they are also a pup mentor. When pups are weaned, she will teach each pup personally the basics of wolf law and manners. It is a big responsibility.
Kingsitter (•)
Kingsitters are, well... Pupsitters. Always male. But don't be alarmed- it's just as much equal work as a Monarch, really. Kingsitters are the Monarchs mate, as well as any male older pups she may have. They watch over both newborns and weaned pups, making sure they are well fed, entertained, and... stay out of trouble. When pups become adolescents though, they assign mentors based on what pairs they think do best together and wont be a problem. Once thats done, the pups are no longer their business.
Herbalist (•)
Herbalists are VERY important to the group. They specialize in medicine and garden growing. Yes, they make cures and gather herbs, but they also grow herbs, trees, and other plants. They also do week checks on the greenery growth in the desert (though there isnt much, it is important),for signs of drought, fire spreading or even destructive bugs.
Warden (•)
Warden is a secondary job, that can usually be taken on at the side by anyone. Scouts, Hunters, Herbalists... even Kingsitters, if they really feel like they can handle it. They are sort of like officers. They ensure law and code is followed closely, and also hold the large responsibility of making sure no members may be plotting anothers demise. They are also in charge of other things like the Watch Half den, for wolves, adolescents, pups, or even prisoners kept in a lockdown mode. They also watch over sick quarantined, or dying wolves.
Hunter (•)
Every pack has them, and they're important too. It's quite a hefty job, hunting in groups and bringing back the goods every day. Lucky for them, their job stops when it turns dusk, and they are all called back for rest. They are responsible for hunting, of course. But also, they are responsible for making rounds around and dropping off small bundles of food off for every wolf, young and old.
Scout (•)
Scouts explore new biomes and areas. They are also responsible for tracking or finding danger within borders and reporting it, as well as marking borders. They are also sent to allies (or even enemies...) for messages, or sending items.
Apprentices (•)
Pretty straightfoward! Pups that become adolescents are assigned a mentor. Their mentor must be in the profession the adol wants. They can be a scout, hunter, or a herbalist!
