Note: It is not shown any �of Honour� ranks here, but these will be explained as well.
Look at the ranks above. The ranks lying on the same horizontal line have the same authority. For example are * Captain, Counsellor and SP * Captain equal ranks. General is the highest rank, and Sergeant and SP Sergeant are the lowest.
Please note that when it comes to a Captain�s stars, these aren�t �normal stars� which are easily gained, but whole ranks!
The Generals have authority over the whole Army.
The Captains, Lieutenants and Sergeants are in charge of one regiment each, mostly together with someone else. There can be no more than three leaders for one regiment. Leaders from the same regiment can have the same ranks.
The Captains have more power than the Lieutenants and Sergeants, and therefore, if a decition shall be made, her/his opinion count more than the Lieutenant�s or Sergeant�s.
A lieutenant have again more authority than a Sergeant.
A high ranker from another regiment can�t give orders to a member who is not in her/his regiment, if this person�s leader(s) are active, but shall still be regarded with deep respect.
The SP (special position) high rankers are not in charge of a regiment, but another important part of the Army. For example is Drakin leader of the �Dragon Defence�.
This means she�s in charge of everything in the Army that has to do with Dragons, like training them, breeding them, etc. She�s also got the authority to get some helpers from one of the regiments if she needs it.
The �of Honour� ranks are not shown here, but they still count. These ranks are very special ranks, given only on very special occations, and then only to ***Captains (including SP), 3. Generals, 2. Generals and Generals
For example: If Aur�thil suddenly got a very demanding job, and had no time for the Army anymore, she could choose to receive the title �2.General of Honour.�
This means she still has the same authority in the Army but she�s no longer an active member, and has kind of �retired� from the Army.
Why this title? you may ask, but just think about how much she has done for the Army!
It would be very sad to leave without nothing when you were on the top, and had put so much work into it.
Note: This was just an example, Aur�thil�s not quitting!
A short lesson from the wise Mithrolas
By Mithrolas (Former Lt. of the TA)
When I first joined the army, I was begging to be a captain or a lieutenant, though I had no idea what that would mean. All I wanted was power. This is common among new members, but let me say it now: No. That�s not the way!
Be patient, and work hard within your troop. Don�t go overboard and act like you are in charge, even if you are trying to help. Simply help with whatever you think you should do and have fun! Give ideas, be active, fight hard. That�s the way to climb the ladder. Don�t worry, everything you do well the officers will probably catch. Don�t get too worried about this idea.
But you have to have the ambition to be up there. Also know that it is a responsibility, and you�ll have to work hard once you�re up there. Other than that, go on out there and fight your head off!
