1. A character cannot move up in the following ranks until they meet the necessary thread requirements detailed under each tab:

• Apprentice
• Warrior
• To-be
• *Tribe member

Note: To-be's have two stages of training before they become a full tribe member.

2. All training threads must be finished to meet the requirements. A finished thread must be 6 posts in length and reach a narrative conclusion.

3. Ceremony requests are not required for the following ranks as they have their own rules and/or processes to move up in rank:

• Any high position: High positions are determined via a HP Audition
  
• Queen: Warriors become queens via the Litter Request Rules
  
• Elder/has-been: Characters become an elder/has-been ICly via old age or injury
  

4. You are responsible for ensuring your character reaches their necessary thread requirements, so plan and plot accordingly.

Note: If your apprentice's mentor has gone inactive or not actively working with you to meet your requirements, please reach out to a staff member and we'll work on an alternative plan so your character can become a warrior.

5. Once your character has met the necessary requirements to move up in rank, you must post in the character's clan/tribe ceremony request thread before they can officially be roleplayed under that rank.

6. Once a staff member approves your request, you are free to play your character under their new rank.

Stage 1: To-be's train as both prey-hunters and stone-guards until they are chosen to pursue one path at 12 moons of age.

2. To become a fledgling trainee, to-bes must meet the following thread requirements based on the age they were created.
