Warlord

Authority
The rank of "Warlord" is the highest military rank available in the the Azthrall military. They are each given between 2 to 4 legions of the Azthrall's 16 legions to command depending on the situation. Each Warlord is assigned a designated area of the war-zone to command over. They are responsible for ensuring victories within these areas. The Warlord is given one Chief per legion within his command. The Warlord can crown one of these Chiefs to "Chief Overseer" which is the unofficial second highest rank in the Azthrall Military.

Promotion to Warlord
To attain this prestigious position you must be recommended by two current Warlords. You will then have to pass two tests: one mental and one physical. The mental test is a series of puzzles testing numeracy, literacy and problem-solving skills. The physical test is to duel the Warlord you wish to replace. If you win this duel, you will take the position of the Warlord who will then be moved back slightly further down into the military ranks.

If a Warlord is suddenly killed in combat, his Chief Overseer will inherit his position as an ersatz Warlord until a replacement can be put in place.

Duties
Being a Warlord is a position that bears surprisingly few duties. All one must do is win battles at any cost. The health Chiefs who are essentially the Warlord's "right-hand-men".

Strength and Skill
The Warlords are the top combatants amongst the Azthrall. Emperor Zeomal once stated, "Rumours are that my Warlords can each defeat one hundred men at once. That is a fairy-tale. However, to fight one on one, one hundred times and win each bout... that is a trivial task for them." That is to say... Warlords can fight with such skill and efficiency, that it gives the illusion that they can defeat dozens of enemies at once.
