Compared to the small Lake Corner Tribe, with its 186 members, the Mountain Corner Tribe was a large tribe with thousands of members, boasting more than eighty Ancient Mages.
However, according to the Ancient Mages of Lake Corner Tribe, the "Listener"—the equivalent of the tribe's elder—of Mountain Corner Tribe was at best a Grand Magician in terms of power. As for the strength of the Listeners in even larger tribes, the Ancient Mages from Lake Corner Tribe were ignorant.
The Moon Slayers' classification of Ancient Mage ranks was quite vague, relying more on tenure than clear-cut levels of power to rise to the position of Listener.
Since the casting profession generally grew stronger with age, the Listener's power was typically the mightiest within the tribe.
