Dragon Rankings
These rankings consist of those who are without a Wing, operating under a specific area or objective.
Guardian; These dragonriders are a line of defense in Sekkai, never going on the offensive. Many of them are gathered around major strongholds of Sekkai, prepared to defend their land to the end.
Outrider; These dragonriders are the opposite of Guardians, flying far and wide to stop threats before they reach Sekkai. One of the strongest, yet weakest groups, their members are under constant threat and usually value their own lives before that of their country.
Scholar; These dragonriders are well versed in the art of history. They read, evaluate, and record the history of Sekkai and are an important part of her culture.
Healer; These dragonriders are solely there for the better lifestyle of Sekkai. They use their abilities to combat illness and disease, as well as heal wounds and keep a track on the population of Sekkai and the wellness of her inhabitants.
Wing Riders; These are dragonriders who fly within a Wing. Wings are made of a specific breed of dragon. They are part of the Wing Militia and operate the core and main fighting force. Wings usually consist of twenty dragons and their riders.
Talon; Talons are the leaders of a Wing, or a group of flying dragons within the Wing Militia. They have tactical advantage and physical prowess above all else. They are expected to lead the whole Wing to battle, performing whatever deeds necessary to either win or live to see another day.
Claw; Within a Wing there consist two Claws, each of them a sub-adviser to the Talon. They work on a more personal basis with the other members of the Wing and are oftentimes a split between a physically strong dragon and a mentally strong dragon, for balance.
Horn; Horns are the strike force of a Wing, often the largest and most powerful of the Wing. They often are composed of about three or four members, using blunt force to catch the enemy unawares and occupy them.
Fang; Fangs are the smallest and swiftest of the Wing. They often run fly-and-strike operations, using speed to deal blows and weaken the main body of the opposing force. There are usually four to five of them in a Wing.
Scale;Scales make up the main body of the Wing. They are ordinary members, but most essential. Not the largest, nor the smallest, they use their elementary abilities above all else. The majority of dragons start in this position and move their way up. Often times about twelve to thirteen Scales are in a Wing.
Spine; Spines are usually back up, often having healing abilities and operating from a distance. They are physically weak and rely on their elemental abilities above all else. Often times they are extremely intelligent and there is usually only one or two to a wing.

Loner- Any dire without an assigned pack, or that is working alone.
