Siren Hierarchy:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- Despite the fact that a Siren's calling would make them natural born leaders, most take quite docile roads to life, concentrating only on spreading their message rather than running organisations that could do so. 
✧✵✧
- Those that do reach for positions of leadership tend to be incredible at their job, though are regularly accused of abusing their position of power in order to spread their message. 
✧✵✧
- They work incredibly well with Blooms of all types. Bloom crafters help with the creation of Soul Beads and other much needed goods, while Sirens work as diplomats, planners and incredible hunters. 
✧✵✧
- Unlike Blooms, Sirens are not given a position of power at birth, no matter how important or strong they are. Sirens believe that the worth of a person comes from their intent, not from their genes. 
✧✵✧
- Muses tend to be the only slight change to this rule. They are rare and usually too busy with their mission to take on leadership roles, yet tend to be respected by the Siren community all the same. They must still bow to their Covenant leader, however.
✧✵✧
____________________________________________________________________________
Cove of Sirens:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- The Sirens have formed three major groups; Covenant of the Voice, Covenant of the Blood and Covenant of the Heart.   
✧✵✧
____________________________________________________________________________
Covenant of the Voice:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- The most prominent of the Coves - large with a busy network. Most things that are publicly handled are done so by members of the Voice.
- The Leader of this Cove is chosen via popularity contest. Usually several members battle it out at one time, making it hard to organise a proper meeting.
- Fashion, singing, dancing - this Cove is full of those Sirens that dream of becoming Celebrities. Many work lower jobs than their coveted dreams, though they worship their idols as if they were Gods. 
- The least welcoming of the groups to other species. There is certainly an air of elitism within this Cove. They have a dislike of the other Coves too, considering their actions and beliefs as barbaric. 
- The Cove of the Voice is worrying for both of the other Coves due to this elitist mindset. In the latest years, many of the popular Sirens have near enough completely forgone their original message meaning, twisting it to the point where its original meaning is almost completely lost to any but them. They encourage this attitude, and the attitude that Sirens should be seen as Leaders and not guides. 
- This Cove carries the least weight in important Covenant reasons.
✧✵✧
____________________________________________________________________________
Covenant of the Blood:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- Militaristic in style, this cove bows to the strongest and most loyal of servants. 
- The Leader of this Cove is chosen by who is the oldest and most 'decorated' warrior currently alive. If the group dislikes who that person is, they kill them via trial by combat until someone suitable appears.
- Most who are within this Cove have a calling related to defence, violence, protection. Hunters of all kinds are welcome. 
- The most welcoming of the groups of other species, surprisingly. If another species lives a lawful, loyal life then they are welcomed with open arms by this Cove. They love to discuss battles over feasts and ale. 
- Despite the distaste for the Cove of the Voice, this Cove will do everything to protect their right to do as they wish.
- This Cove carries a large amount of weight in important Covenant reasons, and they usually lead the way unless the Heart has a strong wish to do otherwise. They are open for discussion and for their options to be changed. 
✧✵✧
____________________________________________________________________________
Covenant of the Heart:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- This Cove is the only Cove that considers the parents of a Siren, and they attempt to keep some form of bloodline going.
- Those who choose this Cove tend to be soft, caring, healers of all kinds. They take on the jobs that nobody else wishes to do with a smile, so that the others may pursue their dreams in peace. They tend to make the best messengers and guides.
- Highly respected by the Cove of the Blood yet shunned harshly by the Cove of the Voice.
- This Cove worship is led by a Queen of some kind; most believe she is the one with the largest connection to the first Siren. Others argue that the Weaver has more. Both dislike the argument and attempt to put it to rest.
- The Queen leads with a gentle touch. None under the heart suffer, though they do not lead prosperous lives either. Though they will never be hurt, they never know the rush of adrenaline from fear or the burst of joy from completing a specifically hard task. 
- This Cove carries a large amount of weight in important Covenant reasons. They usually agree with the Cove of the Blood, unless their plan causes too much bloodshed. They will then debate till a softer plan is decided upon. 
- They argue for hours with the Cove of the Voice. They believe fully in the calling, and they honour those that go to great lengths to complete theirs.

Important Positions:
____________________________________________________________________________
✧✵✧
- The Weaver: A legendary Siren who's calling is to guide others to their destiny, believed to carry the blood of the very first of their kind. Every Weaver so far has been a female Sinix [Siren-Phoenix], and some believe that each Weaver so far has simply been the rebirth of the first.  
✧✵✧
- The Weaver's Children: Siren's hand picked by the current Weaver. The birth of a Weaver's Child is known by the Weaver before it occurs, allowing time for the proper ceremonies and celebrations to be prepared. These children vary in strengths and rarity; it is there calling, their destiny, that is important. They are treated like royalty by other Sirens and the birth of one is a highly celebrated event. From there, they are trained by the Weaver themself in many important tasks, such as how to craft and prepare the magic contained within the Soul Bead, how to perform the correct blessing ceremonies for important events as well as other things. Once fully trained the Weaver's Children partake in the smaller ceremonies alone and help with the larger ones, while acting as handmaidens for the Weaver at all other times. 
✧✵✧
- Bloodied Knights: These are a specific group of highly honoured Cove of the Blood members. Highly skilled in their combat forms and scarred from years of using those skills, these veterans are treated with the highest of respect from their peers. They are regularly asked for advice on attack plans, or for training the younger Siren's who have a calling in battle. When Sirens go to war, these knights are the generals of the field. 
✧✵✧
-  Idols: The most popular Sirens are otherwise known as idols. Most of these fall under the Cove of the Voice, though some are very occasionally a part of a different section. They hold the hearts and love of millions of fans, of their species and others. The weight of their influence is weighed by the amount of their fans...or how rabidly they follow their words.
✧✵✧
- Royalty: Those who reside in the Cove of the Heart who carry only the purest of blood. Their parents are known for generations rather that not known at all, and they are brought up in the life of luxuary. They are also taught, at length, the most important skills for saving a life. Many are head chefs, magical healers, crafters of the highest degree. They take great pride in this skill and teach others of these things. It is rare for royalty to be born with a message that cannot somehow be twisted to allow them to teach, but if it does happen, that line ends. The child is free to join a different Cove and their status is revoked, though they will always be loved and protected by the Cove of the Heart should they need any help.
