AMBITIOUS PLEDGLING
For those who find their calling as a Wyrnne; They must locate a plant that only grows beneath the waves, when the land and ocean are being thrashed by a storm. To prove their dedication to healing.
If they are a Marshal; They must battle one of the High Marshals, to prove their ability to defend their future packmates. They do not necessarily need to come out as the winner in this fight; it is highly unlikely that they would, but they they must prove they are able to withstand the fight.
Be they a Forager; they must hunt in the ocean and catch at least five medium sized fish for the pack before the sun is down or a grown seal. Hunting seals alone is not an easy feat as they will fight back, and highly recommended against.
If the Pledging finds themselves to be none of the above, they will be given a more personal challenge. It will play against their strengths and weaknesses to be fair to those with a more chosen path.
Once the Pledging decides on the path that is closest to their hearts desires, they then participate either alone or with another Valleyfolk joining the Clan to do their challenge.
GRAVESINGER
‘’Life-enders, song-bringers and history keepers.’’
The task of the Gravesingers was founded in Religion but one having faith is not necessary for the task. Eirmuir does not believe in forcing religion onto Valleyfolk, but expects them to respect the life the dead had lived. The Gravesingers care for the past of the Clan, as well as when death happens to prepare the body for burial and to sing the hymn of death.
Gravesingers help in the burial of the deceased, placing the chosen seeds of flowers on graves to mark where one would find their fallen Clanmate. If the deceased was buried at sea, then they place flowers at the coast. They walk a fine path in Eirmuir, often sought out by Clanmates to understand dreams as well as to keep record of the Clans' history as it grows. Their role in the Clan is vital, they help to tie in the changing of the seasons and with the ceremonies important to the Clan, regardless of rank.

MARSHAL
‘’Peacekeepers, warriors and protectors.’’
The Marshals of Eirmuir are both the fighting force of the Clan, as well as the peacekeepers. Being that these Valleyfolk are the diplomats and warriors of the Clan, they are fit and typically large, muscular Valleyfolk who hold peace in their hearts. Their main goal is to resolve issues, to prevent harm from entering the Clans’ territory or to remove it if it has already crept in. If peace is no longer an option, the Marshals show their true colours as warriors and defend each other and the territory with everything they have been taught. When these Valleyfolk leave the borders, they are to remain in shadow and only what has been asked of them. They are put under a timeframe, having Avians which the Clan refer to as ‘Wing Hook’ tailing them from the sky. The Wing Hooks are sent back to the pack to give updates to the Chief, and The Chorus on reports.

SENTRY
‘‘Silent shadows, watchers and stalkers.’’
The Sentries of Eirmuir are the protectors of the land and Clan, they become one with the fog that often rolls across the terrain. These folk are light on their paws, seeking comfort in the ‘background’. They are the eyes of the land, reporting any changes, damages or of groups passing through. These Valleyfolk are necessary to safeguard the secrecy of The Sea Hollow, the Clans densite. They are trained to be as silent as spirits, passing through the territory without much notice. To make no noise, to remain hidden. They are important to the Chief, being the eyes that the leader needs in their absence or inability to patrol the territory themselves.
Being silent is an important trait for these Valleyfolk to learn.

FORAGER
‘‘The hunt, core and soul of all.’’
These folk are the Hunting body of Eirmuir. They are taught both to hunt on land and water. Diving beneath the waves is a hard task to handle, let alone learn. Foragers must be strong and hardy, but agile. These folk respect the Ocean, where everything started for Eirmuir. They only hunt what is needed, releasing fish that they do not need from their hunts. Learning to adapt to the bashing waves, these folk can stand in water for hours as they fish. They must be able to withstand the cold waters, as well as the wetland that Eirmuir is situated on. Hunting the bogland is often difficult, with paws slipping through sinking muck. It is why they are taught to be fast, learning where to place their paws and knowing where to hunt specific prey.

WRYNNE
‘‘The menders, lightbringers and soul flames.’’
The Wrynne are the skilled healers of Eirmuir, having dedicated their lives to keeping the minds, as well as bodies of the Clan healthy. Their eagerness to learn new tactics of healing can be rather off putting, seeking knowledge wherever possible for the well being of the Clan. The Wrynne take comfort from the power of seawater, healing pools along the coast are used in their practice. The salt water is used in soaking of wounds, and to aid in the fresh cleaning of wounds.
It is unusual for the Wrynne to leave the safety of the borders, if they seek to leave the borders they must receive permission from the chief as well as being escorted by a Marshal for their safety.

TIDERIPPER
‘‘Jesting heartwarmers, joyful storytellers.’’
The Tiderippers connection to the heart of Eirmuir is strong, not considered a high adrenaline role in the Clan they are used to enlighten the soul of their packmates. They sing hymns and verses, the storytellers - speaking of lost times far beyond even their time in the Clan. They jest and dance in the water, encouraging others to be light and free. These folk have a big role in preparing celebrations, as well as taking part in diplomatic talks to other Packs. If the Valleyfolk sent on that meeting are to stay overnight, these folk prepare to give a show of Eirmuir dances, as well as versing stories to share to their potential allies.
The heart of a Tideripper should be kept light and free, a burdened heart is one to worry about.
