THE RIDER SPECIALIZATIONS
Rider is the generalized term for a magic user that bonds with a flying or ride able animal. They are wielders arcane and divine magic but also contain special things that Sorcerers don't. Magic through the bond can be learned, so naturally a person who wasn't born with magic can gain it through the bond. Each riders talent is direct to a specific area depending on the dragon they ride. Riders like Sorcerers, tend to use all there mind rather than a tenth of it.
Guardians are peacekeepers. They tend to be diplomatic ambassadors as well as great fighters. Guardian riders are very agile and are the best blades and other exotic weapons masters of the riding force.

RANKS
A SHARED PATH
Both branches have the same ranking systems unless otherwise specified. Both Sorcerers and Riders have initiates up to elders in there Orders.
Grandmasters are the head leader of the order. They tend to oversee everything that goes on below them and make some of the toughest decisions.
Elder
Elders are those that sit on the council of riders. The only thing that really makes them elders over masters is that they have heavier responsibilities. Usually Elders are older, wiser, and more experienced than younger masters.
Master
Master are those that take on an apprentice. They teach the ways of riding. They are the mentor until the learner becomes of age to ascend to rider hood.
Rider
Rider is the classification for a full fledged person who has passed the trials and tribulations of being an apprentice. Usually there sub class is prefix before there rank, for example Guardian would be the prefix for rider and would look like Guardian rider. However, some of the time they are called just by there sub classing unless they do not specify a class, then they are just Rider. With a team they are called wing man or brother/sister.
Apprentice
One who is learning under a master. They go everywhere with them and learn first hand magic they wouldn't learn in a classroom.
Hatchling
A term coined phrase made by the dragons themselves. Hatchling's are those that are still learning in a group setting and do not have a specific master.
