The King is the lion with the most authority in the pride. He leads the pride and makes most of the decisions. The King has to make sure that his territory is safe and occasionally he expand his territory for the hunters of the pride. The King patrols his territory every day and protects it from enemies. He forms alliances or leads his pride to war.

The Queen is the King's companion. She is the second highest ranking member of the pride after the King. The Queen can also give orders to the other lions and is at the head of the pride when the King is away for a while. She can choose whether to hunt with the Huntresses or stay in the Nursery with the Broodmothers.
Current Queen

The Prince or Princess is the King's first cub born with a mutation or a special base in the pride. It does not matter who the mother is. The Prince or Princess is treated with great respect and is the lion with the highest rank after the Queen.

The Heir is the next king of the pride. The elder King chooses a cub to be his Heir. He can travel a long way to do so, because it is important to find the perfect lion. As soon as he has found his Heir, he brings him home with him. There he will be in the care of the broodmothers. He will be able to play with the other cubs, but his training will begin quickly. As a cub, he is taught the basics of hunting and the king spends a lot of time with the little one. The real training begins when he becomes an adolescent. He gets combat training from the Warrior, hunting training from the Chief Huntress, strategic thinking from the King's lessons, empathy and caring from time spent with the Broodmothers, endurance from long patrols with the Scout,... It's a long way to go before he becomes king.
Current Heir

The Grandpaw is the former king. Everyone must respect him, especially the current king. He is the source of wisdom for the whole pride and tells the cubs about his adventures.

The Warrior is the protector of pride. He watches over the nursery at night, patrols the territory during the day and sometimes accompanies the pridemembers as a bodyguard. A future Warrior is chosen by the Warrior for his size and strength when he is still a cub. The Warrior trains his apprentice himself and teaches him fighting techniques, stamina and agility.

The Scout is often on long journeys. Sometimes he does not return home for months. His role is to observe the prides nearby. Are they peaceful or are they power-hungry? Are they weak? Could this territory be conquered? Are they sick? Could the disease be a threat to his pride? The Scout must be able to answer these questions when the King asks him for a report. The Scout himself takes on most of the training of his apprentice. The future Scout travels with his mentor and learns endurance and observation. However, the Warrior teaches him the fighting techniques.

The Merchant trades with the other prides. He has to make sure that the pride has enough food and, if there is a surplus, he trades it for other goods. The merchant is very popular with the lions of the pride and it is always a great feast when he returns from his travels with new goods. Paint for bodypaint, gems for bodywear, rare medicinal herbs,... The Merchant must have good contacts with other Merchants. If the Merchant has an apprentice, he introduces him to his alliances. He also teaches him how to trade well and a few fighting techniques.

The Prophet is a lion with a special gift. He is chosen by the ancestors themselves. The ancestors give the lion the power to recognize and identify signs of the dead. They also sometimes send him prophetic dreams about dangers, for example. The Prophet is one of the first lions to visit newborn cubs. If one of the cubs were to be the next prophet, the current Prophet would receive a vision directly. If a cub is destined to become the next Prophet, the current Prophet will take care of its training. He must ensure that the young Prophet's connection to the ancestors is secure and also teaches him to always pay attention to his feelings. The difficult thing about being a Prophet is that you can never be sure about the interpretation of a sign. It could be right, and it could also be completely wrong.
