Chain of Command
Leader Cheif
Shaman
Boars = Sows = Piglets
Each herd has a Leader who makes most of the decisions for each herd. The Cheif, the second in command, may second the opinion and ask for a vote by the herd if he/she disagrees with the decision. The boars and sows serve equally, although while pregnant and nursing, the sows are forbidden to leave camp alone, for safety reasons. It is up to their mate to bring them their food, or take them to forage and drink. Boars and sows may do border patrols, forages, camp repairs, and other menial tasks as directed by the Cheif.
Piglets will do nothing until they reach the age of six months, where they shadow another herd member to learn their daily tasks. Leaders will rarely place a piglet with it's parent unless no other pigs are able to take on a shadow. One pig may have up to two shadows, although a second shadow must be approved by both Chief and Leader. Piglets will shadow their herd mate until they reach maturity at 12 months, which is when they become a full-fledged member.
Shamans are in between command and the rest of the herd, being the trained healers of the herds. They do have equal say as leaders do, moreso than the Cheifs. Shamans take care of the sick and injured, commonly finding themselves restocking herbs, making salves, and even serving as midwives for the birthing sows. Shamans may have only one shadow. Shaman shadows do not complete training until the Shaman sees that they are fit enough to be a Shaman.
