Rework of Old/New Ranks

[darkemporor]

Fellow kinsmen, If you find your rank missing, don't panic. We are doing a critical overhaul of many of the rank systems at this time. Several ministry leaders have requested changes and other ranks determined to be either obsolete or not fitting are being removed and replaced.

For now you will note our first goal was to remove ranks that really apply better to a medieval empire (like Dustari) and in some cases we wanted to replace them with our more appropriate originals. Some immediate changes include the following:

The Chancellor rank has become 'Eldekhan'.

The Ministry of Immigration was removed and certain of its ranks have been placed within the National Archist Party system. NAPZ being a political system, it also now encompasses the 'citizenry' ranks of Zormite. Additionally some 'stray' community ranks were added under this ministry. Keeping in mind this is a work in progress and may change more... a brief summary and explanation follows:

Archiagos - Head of the Archist party, this rank name replaces the former Magistrate

Archikitos - Ambassador (one to be appointed as representative of Zormite to each kingdom other than Zormite.)

Archion/Archioness - Replaces former Archist, assigned according to gender, a respected party member similar to Senators and Congressmen.

Filoghan - Replaces former Statesman/woman, similar to patriot, activist or entry level politician ranks.

All non-political ranks (immigrant, civilian and citizen) are also included in this ministry. It is assumed that the natural progression from immigrant, to civilian, to citizen leads Zormitians to become 'statesmen' for their kingdom unless they enter a specialty ministry like the military or information.

Anikogen - replaces former citizen rank
Terogen - replaces former civilian rank
Mikogen - replace former immigrant rank

As all non-magic or military are still ultimately 'servants' of the Archist Party, the postmaster and architect/s ranks fall logically within this same ministry.

Kodomos - Architect
Paradhon - Postmaster

Finally, although Zormites are expected to study and assimilate the logic of our rank naming system who's rank names, most know, are built from Greek derivatives, our potential recruits on the game are not. Therefore, since we need a rank to allow RP classes to be held within the castle, the following rank remains in standard english, at the bottom of the NAPZ 'citizenry' system.

If you lost your rank as a result of these changes you must contact me in game to have it re-applied.
