Represented by the color green,
__________ -Rank 1-
Gnavi
Tier I-V
5 trainings, 2 spars, 1 Imbrue.
These are the guardians of the pack, their wings yet to be spread out while they remain nothing but fresh-meat within the ranks. The Gnavi mainly stick to following in the Q’urio’s footsteps & accompanying other G’hapo on their daily patrols. During this early stage of the G’hapo, Gnavi are required to learn every nook & cranny of the territory before being allowed to go out on their own. They must also get a taste of self-defense, though lessons on that will frequent more in the next rank. For now, the Gnavi stick to the little things, allowing them time to get accustomed to everything.
The Q’urio are one step higher from Gnavi, giving them more access to patrols & lessons on self-defense & touching the subject of offense. Those who hold the rank of Q’urio are already familiar with the territory & what lies within it. The higher ranks will begin testing the Q’urio on their knowledge on the territory, just to assure that they won’t get lost before being set out to start on their patrols. However, the Q’urio are not yet equipped to venture out on their own, having to go out in groups of four during patrol.
__________ -Rank 3-
Zlfi'da
1 spars, 1 Imbrues, 1 group patrols, 1 being captured, 1 escorted being, 1 being guarded.
Being a Zlfi’da means you’re beginning to become familiar with certain landmarks and the lay of the land. Your defensive maneuvers are developing beyond just being able to execute and being something that comes to you naturally. But with such advancements in your state, It also means you’re faced with a choice. How will you tread upon the tri-split fork in front of you? Which path will fulfill the desire to protect the ones you care for?

__________ -Rank 1 of Guard/G'hapo-
O'lm
2 spars, 1 Imbrues, 3 patrols.
You’ve chosen to remain true to the path of protecting the pack as a dutiful sentry. Having passed the tests of knowing the pack’s territory, landmarks, and assorted gathering areas; you’ve gained the privilege of being able to patrol by yourself. Rather than with the pleasures of a group experience. You may still, however, find yourself going on these group ventures as to help the fellow G’hapo beneath your title.
__________ -Rank 2 of Guard/G'hapo-
Fta'd
2 spars, 1 Imbrues, 2 long-held watches + 2 beings freed on patrol under warning.
As a Fta’d, you’re expected to push yourself beyond the limits of what most can do. Meaning? You’ll be standing or sitting for hours on end in one spot; no breaks, no visitors, no sleeping, no nothing--but you keeping your eyes peeled for intruders as nature surrounds you--for hours on end at a time. Such a feat is something that most fail to do, but with the training you’ve endured, you can manage. Until your shift ends and a fellow G’hapo comes to switch with you, you remain a statue. Night or day, even though your eyes may begin to fall closed.
__________ -Rank 3 of Guard/G'hapo-
Glen'ar
2 spars, 2 beings detained, 1 Imbrues, 2 long-held watches + 2 beings freed on patrol under warning, 1 meeting with the gods.
When it comes to patrolling, finding a trespasser or someone who shouldn’t be where they are, or even perhaps lost--is not uncommon. As a Glen’ar, you’ve gotten used to such encounters and the following becomings of them. How you may have dealt with them may be affecting your mind now as you do your hour-on-end watches or patrols. It’s also up to you how you deal with those said circumstances in the end.
__________ -Rank 1 of Escort/E’clat-
F'cahd
2 spars, 1 accompaniment on a task, 1 Imbrues, 2 terrains explored.
Rather than being a G’hapo, you’ve decided to landmark the land as an E’clat. Often times, you’ll find yourself placed outside of the pack’s borders, accompanying Hctavar’d or Rkhaemek, for example. With better-placed knowledge of different terrains and the beings or animals that reside there, you can better Sciamachy should they ever face attack or wish to expand. Though just knowing other lands or terrains isn’t your only task either. As a E’clat, you will also--as the name implies--escort others who must go outside of the territory to get what they need, and in turn, protect them.
__________ -Rank 2 of Escort/E'clat-
Ch'tri
2 spars, 1 Imbrues, 2 accompaniments on a task + 2 terrains explored.
You’ve come to realize the possible harsh reality of being an E’clat and the duty you have to Sciamachy Mortala. Escorting those within the pack as they leave to do their own jobs. Most, too prideful to accept. Others, too stubborn. And after that? Too independent to ‘need any help’. Your task faces a lot of challenges, but when it comes to safety, their acceptance or not--Possibility of harsh glares and raised hackles or not, you will accompany them. Because when they face a threat that would’ve rid them from the earth then and there, you will give them a fighting chance at survival.
__________ -Rank 3 of Escort/E'clat-
E'vehn
2 spars, 1 Imbrues, 3 accompaniments on a task + 3 terrains explored, 1 meeting with the gods.
As a E’vehn, you’re now trusted with the accompaniment of higher ranked beings on their duties. Your landmarking and mental coordinate map of the areas that you’ve traversed beyond the territory coming in handy when protecting the ones you accompany as well as providing a source of information for Rkhaemek looking to raid or various other ranks whose duties lie outside of the borders. For instance, what they might need to look out for, landmarks to return, and so on. But perhaps, you feel like you aren’t doing enough. Such a choice of going further is up to you.
__________ -Rank 1 of Guardian/Ga’dahn-
Venre
3 spars, 2 guarding tasks, 1 Imbrues.
A Ga’dahn--or Guardian--is what you wish to be as a Venre. A being who trains themselves to follow and protect who they're tasked too--or even more mundane tasks such as the food stock-- rather than one who protects the borders or learns the lay of the lands beyond. Oftentimes, you’ll find your strength being something of a necessity for your line of duty as who you may be protecting may not always be a pack member. Sometimes you’ll be tasked with protecting a detained creature or even a prisoner so that they won’t attempt escape or bring death to themselves before it’s their time--and at those times, you must be alert and prepared.
Your previous title of Venre, disregarded, you’ve passed the test of no matter how boring or invigorating--you remain focused on your task of protecting what you’ve been assigned too. From the food stock all the way to guarding a nursery full of rambunctious pups. And due to such, you’ve been promoted to guarding beings that your higher ranks may feel need such. It could range from a troublesome novice on watch who has a habit of leaving the borders to a detainee on trial for their freedom or punishment.
__________ -Rank 3 of Guardian/Ga'dahn-
Geod'r
2 spars, 1 Imbrues, 3 beings personally guarded +3 guarding tasks, 1 meeting with the gods.
Sometimes, while the thrill of guarding a cackling detainee screaming vulgarities into your ear can keep your blood burning until you switch with a fellow Ga’dahn. But the simple tasks, like watching over the food stock in case of a raid can help your mentality. Balancing the act of the mundane guarding tasks over the ones that push you to your limits is a task that pushes you to your limits, especially if you haven’t found the correct algorithm that works for you. Perhaps a visit to the gods can ease your mind--or maybe you can persevere without them.
__________ -Rank 4-
Enasr'i
2 patrols, 1 imbrues, 1 spars, 1 long-held watches, 1 beings personally guarded, 1 accompaniments on a task/terrains explored, 2 challenges, 1 meetings with the gods, 1 blessings from the gods.
Being a Enasr'i means that you’ve surpassed whatever previous goal you may have held for yourself and gone farther. You understand that with this title bestowed into your paws, you won’t always do what you were initially trained for. Long-held watches that a G’hapo fair well in may not suit a previously trained E’clat. But nevertheless, as it is your duty and the path you decided to push yourself towards, you will persevere.
__________ -Rank 5- Highest branch
Sild'ivn
2 patrols, 1 imbrues, 1 spars, 1 accompaniments on a task/terrains explored, 2 beings personally guarded, 2 long-held watches, 4 challenges, 4 meetings with the gods, 4 blessings from the god.
Your ears may have heard things most should never hear and your eyes could’ve seen the likes of pleasantries turned terror in mere moments while on watch. Your mind can become fogged in these times and sometimes, the hint of a challenge may seem like a godsend relief to your duties. But are you so willing to let your challenger take what you’ve worked so hard to keep? That’s a decision you’ll have to make as you face them. Be strong, night watcher, you’ve come far to have the title you do now.
