hope you don't mind that I'm not Embix. She's really busy.

The Dusk Syndicate is led by a single leader. Their word is law. Their den is near the Cragstone, I believe? They make announcements from the Cragstone, which is named because the first leader, Crag, died there. The leader rules until they die or retire. The leader right now is Malo.

While the leader rules alone, they have some help from their firstborn child, the First Heir. The first heir is kind of like a lesser deputy. The First Heir counts as a high position, so if the RPer is not active, their character will be stripped of their rank after three months of unuse. The First Heir right now is Shackle.

All of Malo's other children are the other Heirs. If both Malo and Shackle die without Shackle having kits, then the second-oldest Heir down through the list until Ripple, the youngest Heir, You can only have one Heir at a time. The overall limit is seven, I believe? None of the Heirs can be younger than Ripple because her mother, Current, died in kitting, but if a spot is open and you want to make a Heir, they'd just be older and you'd pretend they were there the whole time,

All of Malo's other family are Lesser Heirs. When Shackle becomes leader, all the current Heirs will become Lesser Heirs, If a Heir or Lesser Heir has kits, they will become Lesser Heirs. If all the Heirs die, the Lesser Heirs will have a shot at leadership. It would go first to Malo's siblings, then their kits.

Recruits are full members of the Syndicate, like warriors.

Novices are like apprentices. They are all trained by two recruits, sisters Ember and Light.

Queens, elders, and kits are all the same.

If a new cat wants to join the Syndicate, the member who brought them must pass a certain test determined by the leader. Before they are accepted, the hopeful member can make a den inside the territory but not in the camp, and they can't go to the camp. They have to hunt for themselves, and they cannot go to other Clans during that time. Unless the cat is a kit. Kits can automatically join as long as there is a queen who can and is willing to provide for them.

Their territory is beach, sea, and a little forest. They eat mostly ocean and water prey, with a little forest prey. Their camp is in the beachside cliffs. All cats have to be able to jump up and down them to be members higher than kits/elders. They also have to know how to swim and hunt in the ocean, forest, and stream that runs through the forest.
