Vampire covens usually consist of a group of vampire individuals who usually (but do not have to) reside in the same geographical location under one set of ideals or traditions. Covens may range in size from as few as three members and as many as thousands. Depending on the size of said coven, there may be "sub covens" which represent a branch of the family tree. The organization and purpose of each coven varies from religious, familial, or fraternal, but as with any organization, you must work your way to the top. But please note that not all vampires are part of covens, and there are a good deal of the race who are wanderers.

Different covens may vary in the name of their positions, but the general coven hierarchy is as follows:

ELDERS
MATRIARCHS AND PATRIARCHS
MODERATES
SIRES
FLEDGLINGS
UNTOUCHABLES

- - - - - -

UNTOUCHABLES: If you find yourself here, you have done something seriously wrong. Untouchables have committed a great crime in the eyes of their coven, and have been ostracized and stripped of their titles, however low said title may be. They are dead to their previous coven, and since word spreads quite quickly between covens, often have to relocate to a different geographical location in order for them to find acceptance in the vampiric community.

FLEDGLINGS: These are usually newborn vampires, or wanderers who have never been part of a coven. Fledglings are kept in this rank until they gain experience, and are watched over by a Sire to ensure they are taught what they must know.

SIRES: These are the "foster parents," in a sense, of the coven. A sire is usually assigned a fledgling as a kind of apprentice. They guide newborn Fledglings as they grow into their new vampire nature, and teach incoming wanderers of the values of their coven.

MODERATES: The Moderates ensure that their coven is kept hidden from the humans, and keep the members of their coven in line. Sort of the PR person, in a sense. In a familial coven, they often bring humans for the others to eat as well.

MATRIARCHS AND PATRIARCHS: This title doesn't exactly have an assigned duty attached to it. It is more of a reverence rank. However, in the rare event of a coven war, it is an unspoken agreement that the Matriarchs and Patriarchs are the warriors who will be fighting for their coven. They are given certain privileges (such as finding and appointing new vampires into their coven), and are able to order lower vampires to their bidding.

ELDERS: These are the most experienced and influential members of the coven. Their word is law, and unless they've been killed, the founders of the coven are always in this rank. They speak on behalf of their coven in political relations, declare wars on other covens, accept or decline alliances. They usually marked by some sort of pendant, brooch, or marking unique to the coven.

MEAULNES
The Meaulnes Coven is relatively small and fairly new, as covens go. It has only been in existence for the past few hundred years and is thinly spread throughout France (with small pockets in Spain and Germany), with its largest concentrations being around Paris. It is one of the weaker covens, as many of its members were dying of illness or age when turned.
