The 'king' in Soulcrown soeciety is actually called "The Effloresce" or "Flower" in slang. It's a direct descendant of the original Soulcrowns, and is thus chosen to rule simply by being born. The Effloresce always lives in the royal city, right at the bottom of the city there is a large royal residence. The reason for this is for the Effloresce to be close to the Soul Caverns, where the crystals of the dead soulcrown rest. Its essence is said to give the Effloresce power to live, as this particular soulcrown does not feed on souls. They are quite different from other soulcrown. They also live about twice as long as other soulcrown, and rarely, if ever, leave the royal city.
Below the king there are the Burgeons. There are always nine Burgeons, or "buds" in slang. These soulcrown are in charge of the laws and rules of soulcrown society, but they're also in charge of keeping the city strong, from simple renovations to expansion of the city into the moutain. The Burgeons make all the important decisions that the Effloresce does not have time for. They are chosen by the inhabitants of the royal city, and anyone could become a Burgeon, as long as they are purebred soulcrowns and have lived the majority of their life in the royal city.
The next group are the Lunars. the Lunars, or "Moons" in slang, as essentially the guards of soulcrown society. Their task is to enforce the laws. They have many different branches, but could be broken down into three major ones;
The enforcers - Much like soulcrown police, they enforce the law when the Burgeons tell them to. There is no escape from the enforcers, unless you leave the city.
The jacks - comes from the term jack of all trades, these Lunars mainly run errands for the Burgeons, as well as make public announcements and such.
The cliffs - Sturdy, specially trained soulcrown that could be regarded as the soulcrowns' military force.
Societies outside the royal city have their own Effloresce's, but they are only allowed to be called "Flower", since there is only one true Effloresce. Of course, they also have their own Burgeons and Lunars.
