The Blood hierarchy and social cast system is complex to say the least. Each person has a social ranking and a Jewel ranking. Darker jewels are more powerful than Lighter Jewels and thus are respected for their strength. But Jewels do not dictate social ranking. A Black Jeweled Warlord Prince for instance, can have the social ranking of a slave.
Some ranks can be mixed together. For example, Damien and Saetan are both Black Widows and Warlord Princes. Jaenelle, Karla, and Gabrielle are Queens, Black Widows, and Healers.
You can choose to be any social class you choose as far as being a queen, black-widow, a healer, a priestess etc.
The only thing you don’t choose is your jewel rank, this is to be fair, not everyone can be a black jeweled queen.
The ranks are listed from highest to lowest.
