Ranks

The Guildchampion has the title "Defender of the Woods" regardless of his prior rank.

RECRUIT / INITIATE

Every new character starts at level 0 and is mentored by a more experienced guild member.
After a probatory time of 2 to 3 weeks (or longer, depending on the recruit's activity), the mentor will report on the recruit's behaviour and if he will be an assett to Silverleaf.

There will be a second guild stone with limited wars for new members unknown to us and without a reference - this will help us to prevent guild pking.

ASPIRANT / SCOUT

An Aspirant or Scout is a young member of Silverleaf, but has now official / command power. 
The decision about advancement is made by the higher ranking guildmembers.

FOREST GUARD / SQUIRE / GROVEKEEPER

These are veteran members and have both natural authority as well as great experience - but no formal command power.

Forest Guards may apply to become Wardens. Wardens dedicate their lifes to defending Silverleaf. They are heavily armored and do nay use stealth or ranged attacks. Their dedication to the virtues and nature enables them to draw from special mystic powers.

GLADE WARDEN / KEEPER / MYSTIC

These are officers or officials with command power. 
Glade Wardens command a group of 5 to 10 scouts.

RANGER / WARDEN / DRUID

Highest commanding rank in Silverleaf. They have great power and great knowglede about nature.
This is  the highest rank a non GM / AGM usually can earn  if the GM is a member of the same caste. A Ranger commands up to 3 Gladewardens - and their scouts.

The GM usually takes the title "Lord of Silverleaf" but may as well be referred to as "Elder Druid" or "Captain of the Rangers". The AGM wears a title according to his function. This may be "Mayor of Silverleaf" if he is a civilian, Druid or Ranger.
