《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.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
