Co-Ranks
Co-ranks are the special abilities that a wolf can do; it is their specific job beside rank duties. Some are limited to a single specialist and others can have multiple members. These co-ranks are split between the rank tiers; courtier and cavalry. Courtiers may not obtain a job in the cavalry set, and vice versa. Leaders and Sub-Leaders are exempt from this rule, though most still abide by it. See the rules on how to obtain a co-rank.
