Project Roles

This document covers the roles that structure the volunteer hierarchy on WesterosCraft.

Guest

The default explorer role when you join the server. Check out Things To Do to see where and how you can explore the map.

Apprentice

When you submit an application and get approved, you become an Apprentice. This gives you building privileges on the server and means you're being taught by a Steward.

Builder

The most common rank on WesterosCraft. Builders have access to a wide range of tools and can apply for and build projects on the map.

Steward

Stewards guide new Apprentices through their probationary period, helping them develop building skills, learn how project management works, and get a feel for how you communicate and handle feedback. They're the primary mentor for an Apprentice's first weeks or months, teaching and supporting them so they grow into confident, capable builders.

The role is for people who enjoy helping others improve and want to give back to the community through teaching.

Warden

Wardens are the regional project managers of WesterosCraft. Named after the title given to rulers of major regions in Westeros, Wardens oversee entire regions, such as the Crownlands or the Iron Islands, ensuring projects there maintain stylistic consistency, historical accuracy, and quality standards.

A Warden is the primary point of contact for anyone working on a project in their region. The work centers on approvals, consistency, support, and coordination. Wardens don't micromanage every build or dictate every detail, but they do guide and check that everything follows the region's requirements and expectations. They're resources, reviewers, planners, and coordinators who help projects succeed while keeping an entire kingdom coherent.

Maester

Maesters are WesterosCraft's community moderators and the guides who bring new members onto the server. Their two jobs are keeping the community healthy and shepherding applicants from their first post through to full Builder. Project approvals and project management sit with the Wardens, not Maesters.
