A designed order.

The hierarchy describes work and power assigned by the Society. It does not describe the natural capacity of the people forced into it.

Tier I

Rule, legitimize, administer, and finance the order.

Administrators, lawyers, and clerks who keep the Society’s institutions legible to themselves.

Priests, arbiters, and ceremonial authorities who give the hierarchy a language of legitimacy.

The ruling and conquering caste: governors, commanders, house leaders, and Peerless Scarred.

Financiers, merchants, and owners who manage the flows of credit, industry, and trade.

Tier II

Operate its technical, medical, military, and creative systems.

Pilots and navigators trained to merge mathematics, fleet systems, and spatial awareness.

Doctors, researchers, and clinical specialists responsible for bodies the Society wants preserved.

Programmers, technicians, and digital specialists who maintain the Society’s information systems.

Artists and creative specialists, including Carvers whose medium can be the human body.

Engineers and mechanics who build, repair, and keep industrial systems operating.

Soldiers, police, and security personnel who apply the order’s everyday violence.

Tier III

Supply its labor, service, intimacy, and controlled force.

Miners and laborers assigned to the dangerous work beneath the Society’s prosperity.
