The Shape of a Pack
Ulfric/Ulfreya: Generally an alpha male, but occasionally an alpha female(Ulfreya), Ulfric is the highest rank in a pack. Challenges for this position are always to the death.
Lupa/Lupo: The mate of the Ulfric. This rank cannot be challenged for; it may only be decided by the Ulfric.
"I am lupa, I am the all-mother, I am your guardian, your refuge, your peace. I will stand with you against all harm. Your enemies are my enemies. I share blood and flesh with you. We are lukoi, we are pack."
Freyja: When a Lupa wishes to mate with other werewolves instead of the Ulfric, she becomes Frejya through an elaborate ceremony.
Fenrir: Someone who challenges the right of the Ulfric to lead. They generally fight the Ulfric for dominance of the pack, and get to choose their lupa.
Bolverk: The Bolverk is the Ulfric’s merciless dark side. His evil-doer one who does the deeds necessary but perhaps ignoble or too vicious. They are allowed three assistants: Baugi, Suttung, and Guunlod.
Skoll: The Ulfric's bodyguard and enforcer.
Hati: The Ulfric's other bodyguard and enforcer.
Freki: The Ulfric's second in command, and second in line for the throne.
Geri: The Ulfric's third in command, and third in line for the throne.
Vargamor: An old-fashioned position, the vargamor is a human witch or psychic. Almost always female, she is neutral in all fights. Many packs no longer have one.
Eros/Eranthe: Since lycanthropes are much stronger than humans, they can end up seriously injuring them during sex, or even shifting on top of them and tearing them to pieces. An Eros (male) or Eranthe (Female) teaches the lycanthrope to be careful, acting as a sexual surrogate.
