A Horneater's occupation is determined at birth. First and second sons obtain food, third sons are craftsmen, and fourth sons are warriors.{{book ref|sa1|49}} If siblings die, the younger ones advance in this order of professions, meaning a son that started training as a warrior would be forced to abandon his career in order to become a craftsman if his older brother died. It is unknown what more fertile families do with the later children. This regulation reflects the social status of each type of profession in the Horneater culture. Basic functions like gathering food are valued the most while professions related to warfare are seen as least important. Therefore a third son craftsman like [[Rock]] refuses to become a spearman soldier like the rest of [[Bridge Four]] because it would be "beneath him".
The Unkalaki are organised in clan-like social structures. The leaders of these clans are called [[Nuatoma]]. The relatives of a Nuatoma serve him and act as his household. Nuatomas regularly leave the Horneater homeland in attempts to win [[Shard]]s in duels with Shardbearers. The first Nuatoma who could win a Shardblade would become the king of the Unkalaki.{{book ref|sa1|23}}. This position would now be given to [[Rock]], after he killed [[Meridas Amaram]], a shardbearer, during the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].
