An Element

Each Element has the same basic setup.

Leader
The leaders are in charge of the Elements, and make decisions involving goings on inside the Element, and about its interaction with other Elements or Outsiders.

The current leaders are as follows:

Earthkeepers: Shindyai

Airriders: Nole

Firewielders: Ashudavit

Waterflowrs: Laj

The process for selecting new leaders is part of The Ways of the Lands.

Starwatcher
The Starwatchers are special Element members who's lives involve healing the Element members, deciphering signs and messages from the Spirits, helping the leaders in decision making, and solving problems within the Element. They are very important members to the Element.

There can be only one Starwatcher at a time, but they may also have a Starwatcher in-traning. Starwatchers are allowed to have mates, but many of them do not due to their secluded nature. The stereo-typical Starwatcher is quiet, somewhat shy, has no mate, and prefers not to interact if it's not needed.

The current Starwatchers are as follows:

Earthkeepers: Ketkei

Airriders: Delvarus

Firewielders: Ero

Waterflowrs: Okar

Kiyts / Feliits
Kiyts or Feliits are the youngest members of the Elements. Which word is used is completly a personal preferance. A feliupus is a (kiyt/feliit) until they are about two seasons old. They are to be watched by their mothers, or other Element members, and taught The Ways of the Lands.

Underyearlings
Underyearlings are feliupus who are older than two seasons, but not yet four. They require less strict watch, and somewhat begin to learn Life-Skills from older Element members, but mostly just by watching the Yearlings learning.

Yearlings
Yearlings are feliupus who have seen all of their first green cycle (year). They may begin to intensively study the Life-Skills from the other Element members, and go out and practice them. Usually Yearlings are allowed to roam the territory on their own within reasonable distance.

Journeying Time
These are the feliupus who are about six seasons old, but have not yet Journeyed. They spend their time figuring out a wider span of the territory, and honing their skills for their Journeys. This period of a feliupus' life ends when they go on their Journey and return.

Full-Element Members
Members of the Elements who have returned from their Journies. They are considered adults by this time, and hold more responsibilities and privalages in the Elements. Full-Element members can teach the Life-Skills to younger feliupus, and this is the time when, typically, a feliupus will choose a mate.
