CLANS/PACKSThere are 2 clans. Dawn. and Dusk.
Within those 2 Clans are Packs.
Each Clan has 3 Packs.
They are named after the element they wield.
So 2 Clans. 6 Packs.
HIERACHY / RANKINGFrom the highest to the lowest
Clan Chief / Leader / The Dawn / The Dusk
Clan Leaders themselves have no active role in controlling the packs / pack dynamics. Think of them as like a bigger entity (god/goddess) who only intervene at times of trouble. They are offspring of the entity that created/forged the species - so they are siblings that are able to wield all 3 elements. They do not gain age, or choose to bond with any "regular" Xholis. Being seen as a bigger being, the respective packs endorse the siblings and believe that they would protect the packs from harm.( It's a common bedtime story for the young pups!) Some believe they are just nursery myths, but many older Xholis believe they still exist and keeps faith.

"THE WORKING CLASS"
This counts from anything other physical roles, such as
gatherer, hunter, sentinel, pupsitters, scout,,, etc.
anything that you seem fitting!
Apprentice
Yearling Xholis
Pups
To obtain an apprentice Xholi, you must bond 2 Xholis and wait until the Xholi pup grows into a yearling.
(There will be a separate thread regarding more about this process, but will not be made until nursery is also set up)
Once your pup becomes a yearling, you may choose a possible job and become an Apprentice.
After a month, you may choose to allow the Xholi to fully become a member of the pack.
Promotion to any ranks higher than the Working Class is only possible through adoption of premade adopts, through events, or RP sessions that will also come in the near future.
BONDING Because of Xholi's lack of gender / importance of sex, "mating" technically isn't the correct terminology.
When 2 Xholis feel that they are ready for their own pups, they go into a meditation mode and fuse their gem's energy with one another. This fusion process creates chunk of raw gems that will soon become the pups. They take these gem pieces to the Healer or the Shaman. They infuse the last bit of magic that's needed for their growth and leaves them in the den overnight. In the morning, the Healer/Shaman brings out the newborn pups to its parents.
HOW BONDING SHOULD WORK
Dawn Dunia Xholi = Dawn Dunia Xholi ~ COMMON (same pack, same clan)
Dawn Dunia Xhoil = Dawn Maji Xholi ~ RARE (different pack, same clan)
Dawn Dunia Xholi = Dusk Maji Xholi ~ Against Xholi Customs. (different clan)
