[/b] Can claim other males, females, younglings, land
Females: Can claim other females, younglings, land, and any males that willingly follow along. (The exception to this is if they are in an authority position such as a lord of Bakkuthar, queen, or lead. If this is the case then they can claim males as well)
Younglings (under 2 years): Cannot claim anything
To Claim Land:[li] You must have at least 1 follower and 10 posts (includes both IC and OOC) to claim land.

[li] Claiming another character must be done IC with a spoken agreement between the characters.
[/li][li] Once a character has been claimed they must stay with their leader for at least one game season (one real month), however, they are also allowed to interact with other characters during this time.

[li] Force-Claiming is only allowed in certain lands and must be done IC.
[/li][li] Leads may force-claim anyone who wanders into their land.
[/li][li] Force claiming may be done to stallions to mares who wander into the bachelor lands.
[/li][li] A force-claim lasts 14 days (half a game season). After that time is up, the one who was force-claimed is allowed to go free unless they wish to stay.
[/li][li] Force-claiming may be done in any land except the territories, (in which case only the lead can force-claim) when both players agree to it beforehand. If this is the case please say so in the OOC comments at the bottom of your post.[/li][/ul]
