How Ranks Work
In this second version of the Triad Weyrs website, the way ranks work has changed. Now a list of all the available persona ranks is stored, in much the same way as there is a list of available crafts.
Administrators can then set the number of personas of each of these stored ranks who can exist in each persona group. For example, the group "Holders" at the location "Emerald Falls Hold" might contain one Lord Holder, one Lady, one Steward, one Headwoman, one Guard Captain and an unlimited number of unranked holders.
To manage the ranks at a particular location, click on the "Locations" tab, select the required location and click on the "Add Ranks" link in the box to the left.
To add a rank to a group, select the rank name, choose the number of rankers you would like (leave this box blank for an unlimited number) and click the +/- button.
If you then decided to increase the number of a particular ranker (e.g. to have two Lady Holders!) you could repeat the process for adding one Lady - the number of Ladies would then be increased to two. To reduce the number back to 1, just enter -1 Ladies. If you subtract a number such that you are left with zero Ladies or a negative number, the number of possible Ladies will change to unlimited.
To delete the Ladies from the Holders group altogether, click the cross next to the rank name in the right-hand column of the table.
To manage the list of possible persona ranks, click on the "Manage Ranks" link at the top of the page.
