.: Ranks :.
Males
Sultan (1)
He is the King of the pride, he makes all final decisions in the matters of the pride. He usually has the largest harem and it is tradition for any male petitioning him to offer him a female. He chooses the Sultana and is in charge of settling disputes between males over females. He also either appoints or is himself the executioner in more serious matters.
Emir (1)
He is the heir to the pride, the crown prince, if you will. He is either the eldest son born to the Sultan and Sultana, the eldest son of the Sultan (In the case of the Sultana not producing an heir), the closest male relative to the Sultan (In the case that the Sultan has not yet produced a male heir), or one of the Viziers chosen ahead of time by the Sultan (In the case of no male relatives).
His job is to learn from his father, how to rule and lead the lions into battle, how to make wise decisions and other similar tasks.
Vizier (3)
Three males of high ranking are known as Vizier. They have the largest harems in the pride, apart from the Sultan and Emir, and are chosen specifically by the Sultan to help him in making decisions. They are advisers as well as tactical leaders. Viziers are known for their intelligence and strength.
Sheikh (Unlimited)
A Sheikh is simply a brother to the Sultan or Emir. They generally have larger harems than Pads and are also more likely to have petitions for the Sultan recognized. It is easier to go through a Sheikh than straight to the Viziers or Sultan himself.
Pad (Unlimited)
A Pad is a normal male. He may have as many females in his harem as he wishes, though a Vizier may take offense over a Pad having more than him. They are in charge of their females as well as patrolling the lands while the females hunt.
Eunuch (Unlimited)
This is the name for a male hybrid. It is assumed at birth that hybrids are infertile, thus the title. They are, however, allowed to have at a maximum of 2 females in their harem. If they produce offspring, they are given the title of Pad (Or Sheikh, depending on his heritage) and is then allowed more females.
If a hybrid is caught using another male to make it appear that he is fertile, the hybrid is executed, as is his conspiring partner.
Pesar (Unlimited)
This is the term for cub and juvenile males. (Females do not have a term like this. They are either Banu or Kajira from birth)
Females
Sultana (1)
She is the Beybanu of the Sultan's harem. She is, essentially, the queen of the pride, though it is up to the Sultan whether or not she has any clout. No male is allowed to touch her beside the Sultan and any of her sons that are below adolescence.
Beybanu (1 per male)
She is the head of a male's harem, his preferred female. She is in charge of organizing hunts and raising the children of her Pad. No other male (Beside the Sultan and Emir) is allowed to touch her without her Pad's permission.
Banu (Unlimited, Historically 4-5 for the Sultan and Viziers, 3 for normal males, and 1-2 for Eunuchs)
She is a female in a male's harem. She answers to her Pad and Beybanu, hunts, bears her Pad's cubs, and helps to raise cubs if the Beybanu requests it. No other male (Beside the Sultan and Emir) is allowed to touch her without her Pad's permission.
Kajira (Unlimited)
These females do not belong to any one Pad, they are used as currency. Mostly unwilling they have yet to prove themselves as loyal enough to be protected by any one male. Kajira are often traded, and dealt with much more harshly then any Banu or Beybanu would be.
(Kajira are welcome to be rebellious, but only to an extent. They can work towards getting into a harem, but the ones that get out of hand run a serious risk of being ICly killed to prevent rebellion from spreading. Keep in mind that ANY trouble females may be ICly killed.
OOCly, the owner of the sultan and the three vizier owners must unanimously agree that this needs to be done, and the situation will be brought up with the female's owner.)
