Dominare Rules/Ranks

[Blame]

Rules;; What is expected when within the herd.


General;; To make is simple, Blame's rule is law in this pride. He answers to nobody and everybody answers to him. If the Sovrano is not present, you are expected to obey the Sovrana.
Responsiblities;; Take them seriously. If you have a rank, and do not preform the duties expected of you, prepare to be stripped of said rank.
Respect;; Give respect where respect is due, and try to be civil if not respectful to all other members within the pride. Do not fight with other members unless it is only a spar, or the Sovrano allows it.
Allies;; Should we have allies, these should be respected and everyone should try to stay on civil terms with them.
Breeding;; You may not breed without permission. Doing so may result in abortion, culling of the foal, and perhaps a re-breeding from the Sovrano or a stallion he has agreed to. Other punishments may occur as well. In the instance of rape, inform the Sovrano so the issue can be dealt with, and the offender punished.
Trading and Leaving;; If you want to leave the herd, inform the Sovrano. You may or may not be traded to another herd. Leaving without premission will result in punishment.
Betrayal;; Anyone who does not have the herd's welfare in mind, or actually does something to betray the herd or a member in it. Anyone who may know of this happening and who does not come forth to say so, if found out will be severely punished as much as the offender is. The level of punishment depends on the crime committed.
Punishments;; All punishments must be given by the Sovrano or Sovrana unless they have given permission to another to dish it out.
Killing;; There is to be no killing within the herd lands unless the Sovrano orders/allows it so, or the offender is from an enemy herd.




Ordine;; The more favor you gain, the higher up in ranks you go.


Sovrano;; The King, ruler and law within the herd.
Sovrana;; The Queen. She can dish out punishments and hand out ranks.
Regina/s;; The 'wife/s' of the King. These are his special mares that he favors.

Erede;; The colt expected to take over if something happens to the Sovrana, or he steps down.
Principe/s;; The colts from the unions of the Sovrano and Sovrana or Reginas.
Principessa/s;; The fillies from the unions of the Sovrano and Sovrana or Reginas.

Duchessa;; She is an overseer of anyone below her. She may advise the Sovrano or Sovrana in herd issues. She also has the authority to invite mares/foals to the herd.
Marchesa;; The herd diplomat. She helps figuring out matters with alliances, enemies and ranks. She also oversees the 'pecking order' within the Harem mares.
Countessa;; The warrior mare within the herd. She trains all of the mares in defence and even offence when it is needed. She can also make anyone below her spar at whim.
Viscountessa;; A scout. She is sent to other herds or lands to check up on things when a the Marchesa or Sovrano cannot.
Baronessa;; She is the teacher of most of the herd's foals. She may overrule any of the Harem or Nidiata mares when it comes to their offspring.

Harem;; The majority of mares in the herd; they have not yet shown a dominate talant yet, or have not gotten or accepted a higher rank.
Progenie;; The offspring of the herd. All foals born of the Erede and lower consist of this rank.
Nidiata;; The herd Broods. Mares that have in some way upset the Sovrano, or did something against the herd. They are expected to be bred every heat cycle to produce offspring, and the length of time spent here depends on the offspring had.
Prigioniero;; Prisoners. Those who have been caught/taken by force from another herd.

Alleati;; The allies of the herd. These should be respected and kept on civil terms with.
Neutrale;; All neutral herds. They have no ties, they are simply around.
Awersario;; The enemies. They are to be attacked upon arrival in the herdlands, and should not be seen with any of the herd's members in any other regard.
