Bloodpack
Structure
Chieftan and Hierophant represent the two highest offices, the Chieftan leads the Bloodpack and functions like a monarch in some sense. The Hierophant is the head priest who leads the other priests and performs rituals and ends to the spiritual well being of the Bloodpack.
Wiseman(woman): The mages of the Blood Pack, most magic is looked down on because it is the magical superiority of the Anrasha that allows for them to so easily defeat and enslave the Beast Races. Some tribes within the Blood Pack keep and even value the magic used by these mages. Often the most respected mages are the druids but any can earn respect.
Avenger and Shaman represent the next rank the Avenger occupies what most would view as a military leader, they each have a smaller group that they oversee and are responsible for, the Shaman functions much the same way but focuses on aiding the pack. This dynamic is usually seen as parents and sometimes the Avenger and Shaman are mated.
Bloodpack Soldier: represent the common members of those without magical prowess and those who have not yet gone higher, often these are the younger soldiers.
Bloodpack Acolyte: The Shaman's in training who do the bidding of the Shamans and often take part in fights alongside the soldiers.
Culture
The culture is very traditional of the Beast Races before they became under attack by the Anrasha for slaves. This includes a druidic culture that has in more recent years included the worship of the 'Old Pack' the old gods of the Beast Race pantheons, particularly those who encourage violence. In the pantheon that is recognized by the rest of the world, they focus on aspects of The Champion, The Sunderer, Nahkharvo'Kriizein, The Tempest, and The Warden. There are those that also venerate the Tyrant as well as performing sacrifices and other profane deeds to gain favor and power.
Public Agenda
Freeing the Beast Races from the Anrasha, and stopping their slaving efforts once and for all.
Assets
There are few fortifications as the Bloodpack is largely nomadic, there are a few areas that have the remains of settlements that have enough left to serve for the purposes of smithing or other tasks that are hard to do while on the move. There are rumors of druid made forest settlements that are hidden from all but the Wide men and women of the pack.
Divine Origins
The Bloodpack was originally a tribe that followed what was known as the 'Blood Pack' they were the group of Beast Race gods responsible for predators, hunting, murder, and war. As one of the few Beast Race tribes that not only prepared for but reveled in war they have been able to endure against the Anrasha, but not in open conflict. The original Bloodpack was thoroughly defeated by the Anrasha causing those that escaped changing their ways to more guerilla-style conflicts attacking in hit and run style attacks using the forests to their advantage. This is getting harder as the Anrasha tightens their grip ever more on the archipelago where the Beast Races once roamed freely.
