Jobs are Salsola's version of Co-Ranks. Jobs are entirely separate from the IC hierarchy and have no true hierarchy of their own – while some Jobs require their occupant to work closely with those in other Jobs, all Jobs are considered equally important.
A Salsolan's Job may affect his or her prestige. Exceptional performance may result in regular hierarchy promotions; conversely, consistently poor performance may result in the loss of Job and demotion. Failure to fulfill one's pack duty is insulting and outright dangerous to all of Salsola. Salsolan Jobs are split into three cohesive categories: Domestic Jobs, Defense Jobs, and Depository Jobs. These categories all provide extremely important roles in keeping the Thistle Kingdom functional and wealthy.
Salsola has a multitude of frequently-changing available jobs. For the most updated versions and descriptions of Salsolan Jobs that are taken and available, please take a look at our Jobs Table.
Jobs are named in either Italian or Spanish. Some Jobs are gender-neutral, while others specify the current occupant's gender. For example, if a male were to hold the Sapienzo/a Job, he would be the Sapienzo. If a female were to hold the rank, she would be a Sapienza.
Domestic Jobs primarily related to the care and health of Salsola's membership, as well as territory improvements and responsibilities related to the upkeep of the Thistle Kingdom. This tier of jobs is intended to make the territory of Salsola as hospitable to its inhabitants as possible; additionally, the Jobs relevant to members are intended to promote a cohesive Family group. Some examples of Domestic Jobs are: Ancella (Maid), Creatore (Builder), Curandero (Healer), Segno (scarification/tattoo specialist). |
Defense Jobs relate directly to Salsola's defensive provisions, as the name would suggest. This tier of jobs typically deals with militant aspects of the pack, including dealing with outsider threats and ensuring that Salsola is safe to prosper and build its reputation. Considering the Thistle Kingdom’s infamy, as its power has grown, so has the number of its enemies - These jobs are essential to ensuring that Salsolans can continue living their daily lives in peace. Some examples of Defense Jobs are: Informatore (Spy), Milite (Warrior), Vedetto (Scout), Collettore (Catcher). |
Depository Jobs are essential to the continuation of the Thistle Kingdom’s great wealth, and involve the maintenance of Salsola's storage and stock of items, plants, livestock, etc. These ranks focus on the various trade goods and other items Salsola has acquired. Some ranks -- e.g., the Vaquero with the Stables or the Conserje with the Storage -- are dedicated to one particular area of Salsola's goods. Depository Jobs also include individuals who are very capable traders. Some examples of Depository Jobs are: Cazador (Hunter), Signorino (Slave Master), Vaquero (Cowboy), Mercante (Merchant). |
Occasionally, characters will have an extremely specialized or rare skill. In these cases, the leadership may create a specific job for that character. Rules

In furthering the wealth of the Thistle Kingdom, a new tier of merchants have stepped forward. These are the Artesanos, skilled craftsmen and artisans who bring their specialized knowledge in creating and working with unique materials to supplement the citizens of Salsola. Please note: Artesanos should be specialized in ONE MATERIAL/ITEM TYPE ONLY - for example, Wolf is a specialist at crafting items from wood, and he may make a number of items from wood, but he cannot ALSO be a specialist in iron or rope-made items. Coyote is a specialist at making tack for horses - she can make horse tack from multiple materials, but cannot ALSO be a specialist in making weaponry or woodworking. This crafting skill is of such quality that your character simply does not have time to realistically specialize in more than one thing.
