Just like a real wolf pack, there are laws and an alpha to enforce these laws. Break any, you may be punished. New members may only be accepted by the approval of the alphas. Only the alpha males and females have breeding rights, and therefore are the only young that should be present. Lower ranked members may help care for the youth, unless stated otherwise by the alphas. Existing members may be driven out at any time, but usually for fair reason.

The seasons will be the following: autumn, winter, spring, and summer. Each season has it's own hardships and benefits that the pack must survive through and take advantage of. Members have a specific time to breed and a specific time they may give birth. Like in a real pack, only the alpha pair are allowed to mate unless the rest of the pack is granted permission. This prevents food shortages and allows most of the pack to continue regular duties.

For the Sawtooth pack their will only be one dominant male and his harem of females he may breed to ensure a strong heir and future for the pack. The Sawtooth pack is very selective about who join their ranks: everyone is expected to pull their own weight and contribute to daily activities such as hunting and marking the territory.

Sovereignty

King: This is the highest position, and only the most capable may have this rank applied to them. The King ensures the pack is running fluidly, is safe, and he handles all political matters. A King has proven himself strong as both a domestic and military leader. While, culturally, females usually look after the homefront, a King is expected to be able to handle internal pack issues just as easily as he would a foreign invader.
Queens: The reigning female monarch of the pack, often the mate to the king. While it is not common, it is not unheard of for a Queen to rule on her own or rise to power much as a new King might. Often, should a domestic issue arise, it is the Queen who takes care of it. Depending on the needs of the pack, it is likely she is a skilled healer, or "seer" as well. There may be multiple queens depending upon the King's preference. She will be bred to produce strong heirs for the future. If the Queen is unable to produce males, she may be demoted or another female will be bred.
Heirs: This is neither a high nor low rank. The King will simply test their strength and weaknesses, and rank them. Some, on rare occasions, will get to be herbalists. Only one may continue on and proceed as the successor to become King, and must be male.

High Nobility

Liege: If the King fails to do his assigned job on the daily, or when the King is sick or away, the Liege will step up and temporarily take over the role of King. The Liege aids the King into making final decisions and will give the King advice. The Liege must be wise and politically-informed at all times.
Warlord: The highest commanders of the pack's defense forces, they train and teach the youth to become self-sufficient and independent. Only a select few may become Warlords: they must be strong in mind and body, as well as be very tactical. The King entrusts Warlords with battle plans.
Consorts: Those that have wedded into the Royal family, or those that the King and Queenx favor outside of each other. While this position affords little actual power, it would be foolhardy to not show respect to those that have the hearts of the royals.

Upper Class

Headmen/Headwomen: Wealthy freemen and freewomen. They often have control of land/resources and are of great military prowess.
Guard: The most elite warriors under the Warlord, they are often entrusted to keep watch over the young of the royal family, among other duties. They are often highly specialized in their combat style, and help train their underlings along with the Warlord. On the Battlefield, they are likely to help relay the Warlord's orders, and will make calls in his or her absence. They are also, usually, tactically minded. But this doesn't always have to be so. The next Warlord is usually chosen from the Guard.
Lorekeeper: The Lorekeeper is a busy job. Lorekeepers record history, whether that be change in power, recorded litters, or major events such as natural disasters. They hardly have any time to socialize, and may only be bothered with if the King demands to look through the sacred scrolls.

Working Class

Artisan: A very respectable rank, the Artisan craft, creates, and blacksmith's armor, weapons, and creates decorative creations for when ceremonies or parties are held. They are very skilled with crafting and creating. They may be commissioned personally, and can make anything from family heirlooms to body armor for battle purposes.
Minstrel: In charge of keeping up pack morale and telling stories of conquests- if someone has a silver tongue and can rouse a crowd, you can often find them among the bards. They are also often sent out along with the Warriors for recruitment, and may be sent out on diplomatic missions. Bards also have a large role in pack festivities, performing for the entirety of the pack. It is not unusual for a Bard to be double ranked
Troopers: The military strength of the pack. Warriors are expected to be exceptionally combat ready and skilled. Combat prowess is highly revered in the pack, and one of the ways to rise in status and rank. Warriors are often sent out with Minstrels for recruitment, and are expected to defend the pack with their lives if necessary. They train under the Warlord and Guards.
Herbalist: Whoever is assigned this rank is very knowledgeable about the land and its natural resources, herbs so to speak. They grow, collect, and produce medicine among other concoctions such as poison for the pack to out to use. It is considered a great honor to be mentored by a Herbalist.

Commoners

Freemen/Freewomen: Those that have not yet found their way in the pack. Often just reaching adulthood or newly accepted.
Youth: The children of the pack. Despite being low in the hierarchy, they are doted upon and are to protected fiercely as they are the future of the pack.
Guests: Those in pack territory for diplomatic reasons, asylum, etc.

Lower Class

Vassals: The omega's of the pack. They have no power, and are so pathetically weak even the Youth pick on them. In some cases Vassals are being held for ransom or negotiation purposes with other entities/packs. Also wolves awaiting trial for crimes against the pack.
Sacrosancts: Traitors, murder's, and their ilk. You do not have to be within pack borders to have this rank. Most wolves that gain this are to be killed on sight, unless stated otherwise.

Laws and Traditions

Sawtooth is a consent zone

Leaving temporarily; Members are allowed to leave Sawtooth without permission but are expected to return within a fortnight. If they do not, hunting bands will be sent out.

Leaving Permanently; Those who have been fully pledged to Sawtooth may seek to leave after serving a few years and leaving behind leverage, usually in the form of pups and with the King's permission. Those wishing to leave Sawtooth sooner will have to post an escape thread to get out.

Escape threads; You must have Escape in your thread title. If it goes one week without someone posting to apprehend you, you have escaped successfully. One person is allowed to intervene per one person leaving. If someone joins an escape thread to assist the escapee, than an additional intervene may enter and so on. Failure to stop an escape can lead to punishment, and a successful escapee will be subject to hunters being sent out to recapture and drag you back here.

Raids/Pack Harassment: Must be run by the leaders first. We want to be aware of what Sawtooth is getting involved in if it involves other packs. Harassing the neutrals or npc areas (Human settlements) do not require leader approval, but please send the link to the threads so we may keep track.

Trespassing; All trespassers will be taken in forcefully. Sawtooth does not take kindly to those who cross their borders into their home.

Fighting fellow members; While not banned in Sawtooth it is seen impolite to blindly be attacking your fellow members. Those who start fights without purpose will be reprimanded, repeat offenders will be pulled down to a Vassal to be retaught. Fighting over mates, food, items, ect is not banned and okay as long as you are not permanently injuring your fellow packmates.

Murder of Packmates; is banned except in the following cases; You/another pack mate was attacked first and seriously injured, member was escaping/assisting and you were unable to subdue them any other way, member was found guilty of other treason. ((All of these require player permission for the murder, unless repeat offenders to other rules.))

Treason; Selling information of Sawtooth’s movements to other packs/prides is an offense punishable by death. Brickenwood does not tolerate those who would seek to betray them and bring greater harm to it’s members. ((Players forfeit their character’s consent when breaking this rule.))

Mating; You are not allowed to mate with who you wish and breed without the King's permission. Any that begin in this sacred act and are caught will lead to the children being culled from the mother, and the father will be castrated. It is highly disrespectful without the King's consent.

Rank Challenges; Those seeking to move up in Sawtooth must gain Alpha permission during a challenge to proceed. This means calling an alpha to your challenge and them evaluating you on the spot for what you have done in Brickenwood so far. If you pass snuff, you may proceed with the fight for rank claim.
