Swiftflicker's Clan

clan hierarchy

alpha // the pair of alpha dragons are in charge of running the clan and making vital decisions. they hold absolute authority over the clan and are responsible for maintaining and prominence. the rank is handed down to a fledgling sired by the alpha male or the beta of the respective gender when an alpha is asked to serve under the Lightweaver.

beta // the pair of betas are second-in-command of the clan. in the case of the alphas' absence, they will take charge. the betas are very skilled fighters and hunters and have large amounts of experience in order to serve their clan well. they organize hunts and boundary patrols, assist the alphas in decision making, and take messages to other clans. when a beta chooses to retire, they will take a fledgling, most likely offspring of the alpha or beta, as their apprentice until they officially retire.

gamma // the gamma is the clan's war general who only takes orders from the alpha and beta pairs. the gamma is usually a retired alpha or beta with years worth of fighting experience. they are in charge of strategizing in times of war and overseeing the training of epsilon in times of peace. when a gamma chooses to retire, they will take a fledgling, most likely offspring of the alpha or gamma, as their apprentice until they officially retire.
