《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.

Far Strider
A college student finds himself transported into a strange land with burgeoning magical powers, and is taken in by Ned Stark. Will he sink or swim in this medieval society, and will he ever get home? ====================== OC-insert without knowledge of Game of Thrones, new planeswalker. Slow power ramp. Second crossover: Star Wars (around chapter 39). ======================= As a note, I started this as a speed writing challenge to myself. The challenge was successful, and I managed 100,000+ words (as well as some character sheets in excel and such) over 10.5 days. Then I had to stop and let my hands recover from their burgeoning carpal tunnel syndrome. The story currently stands at around 150,000 words (or ~550 RRL pages) over 54 chapters; expect a chapter a day until I've caught up with the backlog. The focus of this story was not quality writing, and that hasn't changed. I mostly use it as my semi-guilty "I need to write something, but am not focused enough to write something good" story. Expect self-indulgent writing in general, and a bit of OP (or, well, more than just a bit if we're being honest), especially later in the story as the protagonist matures into a more full-blown Planeswalker. But if you're looking for something with a power-ramping protagonist romping around the place, something you'd be a bit embarrassed to admit liking (I know I am) but like anyways (and come on, this is RRL, so that probably describes just about everyone here who actually has shame), then this may be a nice bit of mental junk food for you.

The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 1)
This is a coming-of age story of a kobold, set in a rather generic D&D universe. It is adult in that it certainly touches upon some sexuality, but it is far, far from anything that might be considered porn. It is ultimately a tragedy, but so is life. That doesn't mean it has to end badly, just that it has to end.
