for bits I’m not sure will be gone over in lore, for dead child OC purposes; how young are Avicane recruits normally? Is there a grace period on the- failing tests- or could the kids be gone within the year?
thanks for the trauma ✨
Hehe I can use this as an excuse to talk about the ranking system!! Children can be recruited anywhere from 0-8 typically. At this point they become "Tertial" rank. Tertials will either rank up when they pass their final exam (typically around 16), or be turned into birds for the blood children's flocks if they fail.
The next set of ranks after this is called "Coverts" with sub-ranks of Lesser Covert, Median Covert, and Greater Covert. These are the Avican sent out on missions and most standard members are Median Coverts. Vast is a Greater Covert. Above them are the Remex ranks. With sub-ranks Secondary and Primary Remiges. This group is referred to as the "Inner Vein" and are the teachers and advisors to the Avicane leader. The top rank is the Calamus. This is what Magnus is and what Vast is meant to become.
