		(This is not a true part of the story, but it is HIGHLY recommended to read if you want to understand the rest of the story.)

The main Draconequus hierarchy consisted of four steps: Royalty, the highest, Scholars, Scribes, and then every other Draconequus. 

Royalty are exactly who you expect they are. They rule the Draconequus race, consisting of the High King, High Queen, and all members of the Parliament. All members of Royalty reside in the Draconequus home city of Draconold. Draconold was also the capitol of Draconia, which is conveniently placed just west of Equestria. Members of Royalty rule over the other Draconequus citizens, watching out and enforcing the laws of the country. The Parliament were the ones who came up with and voted on ideas, while the High King and Queen had the last say in if it was passed or not.

Scholars were Draconequus that resided in Draconold. All day, Scholars would stay in the Archives, which stored every detail of Draconequus history, and was constantly being added to. Anything the Draconequus considered history was placed here. This included family trees, records just waiting to be broken, famous creatures (mostly Draconequus), and famous events that altered the course of history to this day. Scholars rarely ever leave the Archives, due to old Draconequus tradition. They were only allowed to leave to eat, or to discuss with a Scribe. The Scholar’s main job was to keep the Archives perfectly organized, and to correctly place any new History Scrolls in their proper place in the Archives. They were treated very highly of, with only the Royalty being higher on social status than them.

Scribes were Draconequus who followed clans or stayed in towns most of the time, writing down anything worth noting on the History Scrolls. After certain periods of time, they would meet and discuss with a Scholar to decide what is deemed important enough to be written in the History Scrolls. Most Scribes preferred to travel with another Scribe, but others preferred just themselves. They usually wrote down more than necessary, mostly because they wanted to stay in the presence of someone so highly spoken of. Unfortunately for them, the Scholars could easily point out the notables from the nuisances, making their discussions with Scribes quick and simple. 

Now, onto the topic of Clans. Clans are a small group of Draconequus, usually ranging from 3 to 15 Draconequus in one clan. They are usually family members that don’t wish for the city experience, but can also be friends that want that feeling of adventure, or just want to escape the city life for a while and relax. With every clan is a Scribe that follows along, taking notes of each day to report to Scholars. All Clans have a Clan Leader, which usually governs the action the Clan takes. The members of the clan don't have to follow the actions given, technically, because they can quit the Clan at any time they wish. They could also be kicked from the Clan by majority vote. Either way, they are left behind without care. This is not a desirable choice, obviously, and Draconequus will always try their hardest to keep to a Clan, unless near a city. 

And that is your Draconequus society lesson! Thank you for reading!!
