Dragon
Commander-in-Chief
The Dragon is the symbol of
authority in our guild, it is a singular rank and is the highest honor
bestowed upon a member. This rank was created when the Founder of
the guild stepped down from actively running the affairs of our
guild. It is the rank held by the current leader of our guild.
The responsibility and dedication of this person in giving of themselves
for the guild is unparalleled. This rank is passed on when the
current Dragon wishes to retire from the role of leader and is given to
their selected successor. It may also be awarded to retired members
in honor of what they contributed to the guild. In this case it
symbolizes what they meant to the guild rather than a role of leadership.
Minimum
Requirements:
- Appointed by the retiring leader to take his/her place.
- Awarded to a retired member to symbolize their contribution to the guild.
