Taliesin Speaketh
- He who seeks to join the ranks of the Clan starts as an Auxiliary helping the brethren and learning from them. He is the little cub protected and sheltered by the pack- young and weak, he is nurtured by his elders who aid and instruct him in the ways of the Clan. Through his interaction he learns to accept and trust them, and in so doing trust himself. He learns to hope- to believe that his fervent wishes will be met. He learns to aspire to become a full member of the clan and the great reward of his service is the admission into the ranks of the Tribesmen. He does not vote in the General Assembly of the Clan and does not have the Rights that his elders enjoy, although he is still bound by the responsibilities. However, the life is less hard and the discipline and training is less stringent that that of the full Clansman.

Taliesin Speaketh
- He who shows the qualities that distinguish him as a worthy member of the Clan is rewarded by being admitted in the ranks of the Tribesmen. He learns to support the clan and learns from his elders through observation and imitation. He learns what is expected of him, what his obligations and privileges are along with what limitations are placed upon him. His striving for new experiences places a dual demand upon him- a demand for self control and the demand for the acceptance of control from others. He learns to control his inherent, natural chaotic urges and channel them for the welfare of the Clan. He is encouraged to give free reign to his self- expression, for it develops in him a sense of pride and the strength to make free choices, to decide, to exercise self-restraint and to apply himself. It is from the ranks of the Tribesmen that arise the priests, poets, lawmakers, builders and master craftsmen that are the mainstay of the Clan. Although not members of the elite warband, they share in the ancient duty that all able-bodied members of the Tribe are bound to arm themselves and serve to defend their Clan. Called upon at times of emergency this citizen's army shall not fail in its task. In addition to military duties, they can undertake any trade at which they feel most competent. A Tribesman may work as a scribe on the staff of his commanding officer, a healer, a musician who maintains the morale of the troops or a merchant that keeps his clansmen equipped.

WARRIOR
These experienced clan members' main job is to act as mentor and guide the Tribesmen and Auxiliaries with daily issues.

Taliesin Speaketh
- All Warriors are experienced fighters who continually practice their trade, and are accustomed to living, training and fighting together as one. Their laws and code of honor bond them to faithful service to their Goddess, Pendragon, other officers, Preceptors and to each other, even onto death. Dwarf and elf, mage and warrior stand together- old rivalries forgotten- brothers under the sign of the Flaming Torch; each ready to give up his life in the defense of the Clan. To be accepted in their midst is a great honor, and all newcomers swear loyalty to his brethren, and utter loyalty is demanded and given in return for admittance. In the warrior, initiative combines with autonomy to actively plan and pursue his goals. He is eager to learn from his elders and strives to grow in the sense of obligations and performance. His actions have purpose and he acquires competence and pride in achievement.

PERCEPTOR

Taliesin Speaketh
- He is the parent to those who have been put under his protection. He is the strong wolf guarding his cubs- their mentor, friend, philosopher and guide. Under his benevolent guidance the clansmen acquire the virtues that make the clan unique. The love and care for others is his greatest virtue, the well being of future generations his main concern. His strength and wisdom is dedicated to the young and weak, his sword to their defense. In return, the tribesmen owe him loyalty and obedience, for in doing so they honor one who has devoted his life to their help.

Taliesin Speaketh
- He who has spent decades in loyal service and whose words of wisdom and moderation have often swayed the opinion of the clan finds a special place of respect.

Great is their ancient store of knowledge for most have in their youth been officers in their own right, surrendering their authority and power to the new generation. Even the Pendragon would be well advised to consult them in the hour of need.
