《History of the Orcs According to, The Beginning: Breath Of War》History of the Orcs - Ranks of the WarHorde
Advertisement
(Author's Notes: The ranking given below are not so much based on strength as it with their standing in Lord Sezrath's favor.)
WarLords & Shamans
The highest and most glorified of all Orcs are the Warlords skilled warriors, and Shamans, who have direct access to Lord Sezrath.
The Shamans have their own hierarchy: High Shaman, are the will of Lord Sezrath; Soul Shamans,are the voice for the many Warhordes; And Shamans,are the apprentices to the Soul Shamans who are taught the ways of Lord Sezrath.
Initially the first Warlords were chosen for being fanatical believers of Lord Sezrath, which changed after the death of Black Hand. Now only the Warchiefs, proven warriors, can challenge Warlords for the title.
WarChiefs
The title of Warchief is difficult to gain and hold as thousands of Orcs compete almost daily for the honor of facing a Warchief in the pit. Which means that only the very skilled,and most experienced warriors are ever able to hold the title of Warchief longer than a few months.
Master of the Axe, Master of the Great Sword, Master of the Mace, Master of the Spear and Master of the Hammer
Orcs that have mastered the use of these weapons and laid claim to the title of Master from their respective guilds, are often more successful when building their own clans, or challenging a WarChief.
Iron Skins
Orcs that achieve the Iron Skin from ingesting the still beating hearts of a thousand humans are seen to be the greatest warriors in the world, able to tear down walls with their bare hands and wipe out entire armies alone. These warriors are often seen as the fingers of Lord Sezrath.
Berserkers
Born with a natural gift for battle, and the ability to transform into hulking black skinned giants that have immense strength and regenerative abilities. These Orcs were once the greatest of all Orcs, until the arrival of the Iron Skins. An effect that would often cause alot of contention in the Warhordes as they competed with each other for higher positions within the Warhordes. However, the Berserker rages often mean that these Orcs are rarely victorious in Duerza battles, where it takes both skill and strength to win.

Battle Matrons
A hotly contested position for Orcas that desire more power and an opportunity to rise within the ranks. Battle Matrons are highly skilled warriors that excel in both ranged and close combat. These Orcas having given birth to hundreds of Orc warriors and trained thousands of Orclings in the arts of War, are considered to be as deadly as Berserkers, when it comes to battle. Often seen by the side of Warlords, whispering guidance and advice. Battle Matrons are a rare and honored position.
Grunts
Within every single Orc resides the Bloodlust and Yearning. Two powerful weapons that when combined together creates an irrepressible creature of battle. Gifted with tough skin and natural warrior instincts, all grunts have the ability to rise much higher in Sezrath's standing. Making all Orcs quite dangerous. However it is the Orc warrior that's harness the Bloodlust and Yearning, keeping a tight rein upon it, that is able to rise quickly within the ranks.
Orclings
Young Orcs that have yet to wet their blades in battle are called Orclings. Until they defeat another Orcling in a Duerza they are considered as children and not a true Orc.
Followers of Lord Sezrath
Throughout their campaigns in Kahloon, Caldasher and Orkeylium. The Shamans have spread the words of Lord Sezrath God of Death. Those who follow the will of Sezrath, become true believers. Willing to fight and spread his words.
Slaves
The Orcs view slaves as less than nothing, and yet they still serve the will of Sezrath by acting as scouts, battle field fodder and in some cases like the Red lands as food for the Warhordes.

The Great Erectus and Faun
The Great Erectus, otherwise known as "The Big Guy" is NOT a god. Don't call him that. It will tick him off. He and his newfound apprentice/sidekick the definitely not a creation goddess Faun have a little problem. The Big Guy's universe is blowing up. Faun might have had something to do with that. (She feels awful about it BTW) They must rush about the unraveling universe saving (or judging) worlds as the end of all things is bearing down upon them at the speed of light, so they have a bit of time but really can't mess about. Along the way they will encounter Lovecraftian horrors, divine ex-girlfriends, surly AI's and a host of other hassles. Enjoy such delights as the complete destruction of the universe, a children's "Christmas pageant" except where "the greatest story ever told" involves an eldritch horror from another universe, and an innocent misunderstanding concerning the exact definition of a "red dwarf". Existential dread! Lovecraftian comedy! It's as much madness as can be shoved into a single work and still remotely make sense! If you enjoy completely off the hook lunacy, this one is for you!
