[atrb=background,http://i47.tinypic.com/i1i4o6.png] KING :: Larken - - his mate, none QUEEN :: None - - her mate, none HEIR : : Isolde - - secondary heir, none ELDER : : None - - his apprentice, none OVERLORD : : None - - his squire, none HAND MAIDEN : : None - - her assistant, none GUARDIANS : : None SEEKERS : : None THE PEOPLE : : None ENEMIES : : None The King is the horse in charge of the entire alliance, nothing happens without his approval and knowledge, and the way of the Loners revolves around his decisions. The Queen is the King's secondary in command, and most often not his mate. She is also heavily involved in herd affairs, though tends more towards affairs inside the herd rather than politics with other alliances. The Heir is the child of either ruler that has been chosen to be raised to take over the alliance when the primary royal steps down. The Elder is a long time member of the alliance, generally an older horse who has seen many years pass in the alliance and is very trusted by The King. The Elder is the King's adviser and this horse is very revered in the alliance. The Elder's Apprentice is usually a younger horse that The Elder teaches stories of the alliance's past, as well as all of the wisdom they will need to help the next royal. Often the Apprentice and the Heir are close friends, as there is a strong chance that someday they will be Primary Royal and Elder together. The Overlord is in charge of overseeing the Loner's protection system. Whether it is currently an army or just groups of patrols, the Overlord takes control of training and organizing them. The Overlord's Squire is both apprentice and assistant. He or she aids the Overlord in whatever way they need, while also learning the duties of an Overlord. The Hand Maiden is the Queen's personal assistant, as well as adviser. She is the female counterpart to The Elder, and often young queens are raised by Hand Maidens. The Hand Maiden's Assistant is exactly what they sound like, they are Hand Maidens in training. Guardians are members of the Loner guard, they are trained and organized by the Overlord to protect the Loners from all threats. Seekers are horses dedicated to scouting. Because the Loners tend to move their herd frequently and wander, the Seekers go ahead of the herd to check out new areas and report back to the King. The People are the mares, stallions, and foals of the alliance. These horses have no particular job, but are always ready to spring into action when things need doing. They support each other, and are more a large family than anything else.
