The Druids...followers of Nature and protector of Life. Friends to all life, may it be man, beast, or plantlife.
The Druids follow a specific system of ranking. Every Druid has his or her place within the Circle or Trigram, just as one small animal has its place in the Circle of Life. Without that one small animal, the larger animal may perish and disruptions in the chain will occur.
The First level of title is Aspirant. At this level, Aspirants are able to freely do as they choose, so long as it is within the boundaries of Druidic ways. They are also expected to keep in touch with the Trigram and attend meetings and rituals whenever possible. Aspirants, while in uniform, wear Robes that symbolize the new beginning, Spring.
The Second level of title is Ovate. At this level, Ovates are required to be loyal to only the Trigram. Thus, they are unable to be in any clan or army. They work on finding new Druid potentials and teaching them more of the Druidic ways. While in uniform, Ovates wear the Robes that symbolize the transition and continuing florishing environment, Summer.
The Third level of title is Great Druid. There can only be one Great Druid at any given time. The Great Druid manages and coordinates the Trigram. The Great Druid sets up meeting and ritual times, keeps the Trigram's funds, promotes Aspirants to Ovates, and sometimes admits new applicants to the title of Aspirant.

There are, however, more defined titles given to those who seek to do more within the Trigram.
Archdruids are those that are strong, not only with Nature, but with themselves. They strengthen their bodies like that of the Sacred Oak, and are not ones to fall easily in case of battle. They are also known as Il san Druids.
There is also another title, that is given by The Great Druid to certain Druids. This title, when bestowed upon a Druid, shows their activeness and their work done within the Trigram. There can only be one Druid with that specific title. It is unique, and the Druid with that title is honored and respected for that Druid's work.
