Principes- Ruler, leader of the clan. There are always two rulers, a Male and a Female. They are King and queen and they are always mates, and they are both addressed as Principes <name>.
Lorem- Second in command to the Principes, they take the place of them when they pass. There are always two, a male and a female, and when the male is chosen he will pick a female to be his mate and queen.
Medicus- The Healer, who attends to every-day sicknesses and wounds of battle. If the Medicus is female she will not be allowed a mate because becoming pregnant would distract her from her duties.
Plenus- Pregnant females retire momentarily half-way through the pregnancy to ensure the safety of the Hatch-lings.
Abire- The elderly, retired dragons who experience weakness or sickness that they will not heal from. It is very rare that a dragon will move to this rank.
Milites- The Warriors, all dragons will be at this class one point in their life if they live to a good age. They fight and hunt under the command of the rulers. They are liable to enter this stage after 6 moons of training, and as long as they are fit to.
Tiro- The apprentices. Each Milites, warrior, is assigned an apprentice. They pass on the skills they know of flying, hunting, and fighting to the younger generation. Dragons cannot fly until they are in this stage. They enter this stage after living for 12 full moons.
Nati- Newborns, Hatchlings. They stay inside the nursery for one full moon before being allowed out in the camp. They cannot leave the camp until 12 moons.
