I could tell you now.
Gnaw wolves are born with something wrong with them. They are abandoned at birth on a place called a tummfraw. These pups are called malcadhs, meaning cursed one. Their parents are banished from the clan never to mate again, in fear of creating another malcadh. If they make it back to their clan they become the lowest rank of all, gnaw wolf. They are basically like and omega. They are the main subject of abuse. They come with a gift of beautiful carvings. Faolan made the most beautiful carvings one could see. They are last to eat and sometimes get nothing. They get nipped at if they come too close. At the end they are given a bone from the animal carcass to gnaw on, mostly the great chain. Is this ok to be the new great chain, river?:
Lupus (basically their god)
Star wolves (spirits of dead wolves)
Air
Chieftain (clan leader)
Lord (second in command)
Packers (normal pack members, in including pregnant She-wolves)
Sark (she-wolf capable of creating potions)
Gnaw wolves (lowest rank, born with deformity)
Unranked Obea (she-wolf who carries malcadhs to their tummfraw)
Owls
Other four legged animals
Other birds, excepting owls
Plants
Earth
Fire
Water
Rock
Soil
Most of these come from the original great chain. And are in the same order. I didn't add ceilidh fyre (lightning) because there are no skreeleens (howler of pack). Skreeleens howl to lightning to summon earth fire. But that is no rank, for this is the future of the beyond.
There is only one obea in each clan. The obea must only be a she-wolf. They are barren. Meaning they can't produce pups no matter how many times they try, they can get pregnant but the pups never come. It is their job to find pregnant she-wolves who go by lang. By lang means deeply away. And if one of the pups born is a malcadh she takes it to its tummfraw. The remaining pups are taken back for another she-wolf to take care of it/them. If the she-wolf resists to give up her pup then it's a penalty called resistance. The consequence is immediate death to ALL pups. Also Obeas are basically rankless. Neither high nor low.
The Sark isn't really a rank. Faolan, the main character of the books, must have been generous and made Sark a rank (sark was actually the name of a character in the books. I'm guessing we are in the future, after the books all happen. Is that right river?). A she-wolf who lives on her own. She is what some like to call a witch. She makes potions and all sorts. Some think of her as strange, for she uses fire. Only something owls use. She-wolves who had just giving birth to a malcadh come to visit her. She gives them a potion called forgetting. It's helps them forget of their previous clan to live life in another clan, with another mate, and new pups.
