ALPHA
The alpha is the leader. His/her word is law. When there is a mates pair of alphas they may work together and/or divide the duties between themselves. The alpha is responsible for accepting any loners who wish to join the pack. The pups of the alpha pair are considered the heirs of the alphaship. The alpha picks which of the pups will inherit leadership without deferring to age.
BETA
The beta is the alphas second. When the alpha is unable or away, the beta will take on the duties. If the alpha dies without a successor the beta will immediately take the office if alpha in his/her stead. Besides this, the beta acts as an organizer. They deal out patrols for hunting and border refreshing.
GAMMA
The gamma is the muscle of the pack. They are in charge should the alphas and betas disappear. They are normally used to deal out punishment to those who deserve it. They also are in charge of creating diplomatic missions to other packs.
HEALER
The healer is vital to the pack. They act as the pack's personal White Magic. Every year the healer actually goes to WM for advice and a blessing of health so they can serve the pack properly. The Healer will take on an apprentice so that in the off chance that he/she dies the pack will remain strong.
SERVANTS
Servants are not members of Midnight Silence, but they live within the territory and are required to be completely loyal to Midnight Silence or risk death. They are supposed to feed and care for themselves. They are considered the lowest of the low and are expected to act at their rank. As their name suggests, they act as servants to the members. Servants can be prisoners of war, Good wolves, previous Midnight Silence members who are being punished, or just any unlucky wolf that a Midnight Silence member decides to force into servitude. Midnight Silence members can own designated servants, but all servants still have to answer to the Alpha(s). Members of Midnight Silence are allowed to do anything they wish to the servants; they may not, however, kill another wolf's servant without permission.

TRADITIONS
Rage Ritual:
When a pup reaches one year in age they will go through a ceremony, at the full moon. The Rite of Rage. They must do one of three things:
1) Bring down large prey (a deer, goose, anything larger than a rabbit.)
2) Kill a good or neutral wolf
3) Fight another pup/yearling/young-member-of-the-pack until one submits.
-if you fail the Ritual, you will still be considered a pup until the next full moon.
Future of the Pack:
The alphas are the only wolves who can freely breed. All other members must petition the alpha(s) for permission. In order for a pair to be accepted, their gene pool must align well and the breeding season must be optimal. If a couple is to breed without permission, the alphas will have a few different options: kill the mother before the pups are born, take the pups that are strong, kill the weak pups, kill all the pups, kill the transgressors, banish the transgressors, or make them all servants.
Mark of Silence:
When a pup finishes the rage ritual or an adult joins the pack, they are given a mark by the Alpha. The mark will give them a new surname that can be used. This way, once you join Midnight Silence, you are forever labeled as one.
