Welcome to the Mactire Castle; a place solely for dogs. It is a beautiful area, not just the magnificent castle being the main part of it. There are wonderful smelly flowers, rolling hills and large mountains, thick forests, and a large river at the base of the cliff that the castle rests on that empties into an even bigger lake. The castle doesn't get many 'visitors' besides some of the wildlife such as squirrels and hares around the area. The occasional moose will come, and then we hunt the normal deer and elk in the area as food. Though our castle is an amazing place to stay, there are a few things you should know before staying;
Us dogs at the castle are like a society. We have different ranks like our own little kingdom because that's exactly what we are. The kings family has been ruling the castle for many generations, and it is always the first born son that rules as the king unless there are no sons, then it is the first born daughter. The castle is also well protected because of our knights that take daily walks around the perimeter or stay on watch for the castle. Though, not all dogs in our area are part of the kingdom. We have some rogues which are pretty much loners. They stay nearby for what we know, but not many of us in the kingdom have talked to, much less witnessed the rogues before.
If you need any more information, be sure to ask anybody around the castle or you could try to figure it out by yourself! Learning is key to living in this strange type of society for dogs!

About the Kingdom Ranks(Very Important!)
King/Queen- They are like the Alphas of the kingdom. They usually have the pups that will soon be the King or Queen later depending on the gender. Once they are mated, they are usually mated for life once mated. Are supposed to rule over the land, telling orders, and their second in command are the Duke and Duchess, but if they aren't present, then the Captain and Second in Command of the Knights. The only time they will mate again is if one of the mates were to die, and they needed another to rule alongside with.
Prince(s)/Princess(es)- They are supposed to be Alpha once they are older or until the King and Queen pass away. They are offspring of the Alphas, and it isn't specific with who they wed for at the kingdom, it is only about love, and not really for importance or rank to join kingdoms. The first born prince will become the King, and the other siblings would become Marquess(es). If there are no sons, then the first born princess will become the Queen, and the other siblings would become Marchioness(es).
Duke/Duchess- They are like the Betas, being second in command to the King and Queen. They appoint to situation that the majesties cannot get to, and were probably in a line of work before such as Knightly-Hood or could have been offspring or perhaps siblings of the King or Queen that wanted to have gotten that role to have gotten the role of Duke/Duchess. Their children immediately become normal citizens, but, if they wanted, could go through training to become a Knight.
Marquess(es)/Marchioness(es)- Since not all offspring of the majesties get to become King or Queen, this is their rank. They have less power than there siblings, but are still looked highly upon by the rest of the kingdom. They are higher than the Beta, but lower than Alpha so they are right in the middle.
Knight(s)- They are like the guards of the kingdom. They guard the entry ways into the castle, go on daily walks around the perimeter to check for intruders or anything that could possibly be wrong. They are very military like, needing to stay fairly serious while doing their job. Sometimes the princes could be a Knight, and even females could join in the job, but it's mainly for the males, but there are no rules saying that girls can't. With the ranks for the Knights, the Captain of the Knights and Second in Command are supposed to be obeyed by with different instructions that they say. The Sergeants are then like the second in commands to the Second in Command. The normal Knights then report to all officers.
Hunter(s)- The Hunters are the ones that bring in the food for the whole kingdom which is quite the large task, though some citizens help with hunts once in a while. The Lead Hunter is supposed to have the strongest nose to find the hunt. Second in Command Hunter accompanies the Lead the most, and is also supposed to have a strong nose. The rest of the Hunters don't need as strong noses, but do need speed and endurance, and then some with strength to actually take down the hunt.
Citizen(s)- It is pretty much self explanatory. They are citizens! They will live on the bottom floor of the castle and are partially Omegas, but aren't treated harshly in anyway. They are the ones that will usually cook meals because Citizen do have jobs inside the castle like being a Scribe, Cook, Assistant, etc.
Rogue(s)/Loner(s)- They are, as the name implies, Loners who don't go in the castle, but stay around the area. They aren't really a part of the kingdom actually, but are known for being robbers or beggars. The Knights find them quite troublesome at times because of the chaos that sometimes with them from stealing, but it is the Knights job after all to do so. The Rogues could sometimes be dogs that used to be part of the Kingdom, but were exiled or were seen as too weak and left to die, though that only happened many years ago. Now the Loners are just trouble makers, or stay out of the kingdoms way.
