Farflier/Unblooded/Ally

Ally
Allies are those that have come to the tribe through various means and circumstances that are aiding the tribe in some way but are not formal members of the Tribe itself. Diplomats from other organizations, mercenaries, hunters staying in the region for a time, and even those just looking to learn more about the Skyrunners are considered Allies until they either leave or become Unblooded.
Unblooded
Unblooded are individuals that have made it known to the Tribe that they intend to take the Rites required to become a full member of the Tribe. Until they take the proper Rites and are brought in under the Chieftain's direct protection as a Tribesman these individuals are still considered outsiders and have little sway on Tribe life as far as choices go.
These ranks are only applicable to those that cannot claim Skyrunner as their Birth Tribe. Those born within the Tribe are granted the title of Tribesman at birth and hold onto that title for the rest of their lives even if they become Farflyers.
Farflier
The Tauren are naturally nomadic people and for most, that means traveling with their people from place to place. Others have a more adventurous spirit. These individuals can sometimes spend months away from the Tribe exploring the world and living among the other civilizations of the world These tribe members are known as Farflyers. While for the most part individuals who are Farfliers are those that were once well connected Tribesman, on occasion an Ally may be considered a Farflier if they are still deeply connected to the tribe but forced away for a time due to their prior connections or war.
Benefits
General access to food and the sharing of meals among the tribe, a tent to sleep in within tribe grounds, and access to the general protection and companionship of the Tribe. Though this does not extend to formal defense or protection of an Unblooded or Ally more often than not the Tribe will rise up to defend those under threat so long as the wellbeing of the Tribe is not put in jeopardy.
The use of a temporary The Cloudlord Pride wyvern is permitted to Allies and Unblooded though there is little bond created between the rider and the wyvern as it is treated more as a mode of transportation than anything else.
