Weyr vs Rebellion Ranking

[Wish]

Since there is bound to be some confusion between how normal Weyr rankings work versus how Rebellion rankings work, here is a list of rankings for both.

Senior Weyrwoman(lord) and Weyrleader(lady):

• Leading Pair of the Weyr.
  
• The Weyrwoman deals with "Household" issues; Weyrleaders watch over the Wings.
  
• The Weyrwoman rises to her position when the last Senior steps down or passes away and her Gold is the first to rise in a mating flight. Every time her dragon rises, the champion's rider becomes the new *or is reinstated* as the Weyrleader.
  
• Since the sub-queens and kings may occasionally chose an opposite-gendered rider from themself, there may be a Weyrlord or Weyrlady instead of a Weyrwoman or Weyrleader, respectively.
  

Junior Weyrwomen(lords) and Weyrleaders(ladies):

• Multiple Juniors, with one main pair *oldest bonded pair*.
  
• Juniors have split duties too.
  
• Take their orders from the Seniors.
  
• Junior Weyrleaders *or Weyrladies* are chosen through flights.
  
• Since the sub-queens and kings may occasionally chose an opposite-gendered rider from themself, there may be a Weyrlord or Weyrlady instead of a Weyrwoman or Weyrleader, respectively.
  

Wingleaders:

• Generally older Kingriders.
  
• Sometimes younger Kingriders or Older Sub-Kingriders.
  
• Chosen by the Senior and Junior Weyrleaders.
  
• Command their individual Wings and relay the Weyrleader's orders.
  
• Positions can be changed every time a new Senior Weyrleader comes to power.
  

Wingseconds:

• Generally younger Kingriders or any Sub-kingriders.
  
• Chosen by their Wingleaders.
  
• Help to stabilize the Wing and carry out the Wingleader's orders.
  
• Becomes Wingleader if the current Wingleader is unable to perform their job.
  

Wingthirds:

• Generally younger Sub-kingriders or any fighting color's rider.
  
• Chosen by the Wingleaders with help of the Wingsecond.
  
• Help to watch over new Wingriders that have recently graduated Weyrlinghood, aiding them in the transition.
  

Wingriders:

• Anywhere from 15-35 riders in a Wing.
  
• Are placed into Wings according to what color they ride and their abilities.
  
• Can be promoted to a higher position depending on certain circumstances.
  
• Some are Candidate or Weyrling Masters/Assistants.
  

Sn. + Jn. Weyrlings

• The dragonet pairs that are younger than 18 months.
  
• At 12 months they graduate from being a Junior Weyrling to a Senior Weyrling.
  
• Weyrlings are under the instruction of a Weyrlingmaster who supervises all Weyrling groups, and the Assistants who are individually, or occasionally dually, assigned to different clutches.
  

Candidates

• Someone who stands for a clutch of dragon eggs.
  
• They are generally anywhere from 13-21, however some are taken as young as 11 (with males), or as old as 25 (especially with females).
  
• All dragon candidates must be searched by a dragon before entering candidacy, and be confirmed by the Senior Weyrwoman, or one of her Juniors.
  
• Wher candidates can volunteer at any time as long as they are older than 15 and younger than 60 turns old.

Rebel Leader:

• Leader of the Rebellion, currently Noita of Obsidian Sylencath.
  
• Does most of the traditional Senior Weyrleader's duties.
  
• Due to Noita's paranoia that her power will be taken away, she has made it known that she and her followers (the Knights) will only allow another Obsidianrider she chooses to succeed her.
  
• Many in The Rebellion do not agree with this and don't even care if it is a Sub-Queen or someone else entirely.
  

Lieutenant Major and Minor(s):

• Second and Third in command in the rebellion.
  
• Lieutenant Major is the rider being groomed to succeed the Leader.
  
• Lieutenant Minors are all the other Sub-Queenriders.
  
• These positions were made as a fail safe so that Noita could ensure her position in The Rebellion.
  
• The Lieutenants deal with the typical Senior and Junior Weyrwoman duties respectively.

General:

• The first General was chosen by who flew Noita's dragoness. Because of his sudden death, the same manner of choosing will happen again the next time she rises.
  
• A turn after the General is confirmed, the rebels may vote him out and place whoever they support into the position regardless of rank or gender.
  
• The General conveys the Rebel Leader's orders and does many of the Junior Weyrleader's jobs.
  

Commander:

• The Commander is the Lieutenant Major's second half like a normal Junior Weyrwoman and Weyrleader would be.
  
• The position is more for support and aiding in the Major's training than anything else, but they also follow through with the orders given by the Major and General.
  
• They change whenever the Major's dragon rises.
  

1st, 2nd, 3rd Knights:

• The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Knights are the equivalent of a Wingleader, Wingsecond and Wingthird respectively.
  
• They are chosen by Noita and the General, mostly Noita though.
  
• They can be any rider, not just Kings and Sub-Kings.
  
• When a General is being opted for removal, it is often a jealous Knight that is behind the movement.
  

Rebels (Wingriders):

• The Rebels are all the other Wingriders that are not Weyrlings or the other above positions.
  
• Regardless of their prior ranking in other Weyrs, all recruits start out as simple Rebels (unless they're Weyrlings, Candidates or Unbonded)
  
• Rebels must work up in the rankings by gaining the higher positioned riders' trust.
  

Sn. + Jn. Weyrlings

• The dragonet pairs that are younger than 18 months.
  
• At 12 months they graduate from being a Junior Weyrling to a Senior Weyrling.
  
• Weyrlings are under the instruction of a Weyrlingmaster who supervises all Weyrling groups, and the Assistants who are individually, or occasionally dually, assigned to different clutches.
  

Candidates

• Someone who stands for a clutch of dragon eggs.
  
• They are generally anywhere from 12 and up since the Rebels are not picky about age as long as the dragons agree. However, older candidates are preferred.
  
• All dragon candidates must be searched by a dragon before entering candidacy, and be confirmed by the Rebel Leaders, or one of her Lieutenants.
  
• Wher candidates can volunteer at any time as long as they are older than 15 and younger than 60 turns old.
